Brain
Fog - The Fog that Never Lifts
By Dr.
Maoshing Ni, L.Ac., D.O.M., Ph.D.
Many
of us have experienced feelings of spaceyness, together with difficulty
focusing and a slight feeling of being disoriented. When these feelings
cannot be associated with any identifiable disease or condition, I group
them under the nonspecific category called “brain fog.”

Chinese Medicine
Offers Relief for Fibromyalgia
By Catherine Browne,
L.Ac., MH, Dipl.Ac.
There are a thousand ways to heal, and most of my fibromyalgia patients
have tried almost all of them without great success by the time they
begin Oriental medical therapies. The symptoms associated with
Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) include pain in the muscles and joints,
insomnia, fatigue, brain fog, and digestive imbalances. This is a
disease process that takes many forms of expressing itself and is
tenacious in nature. Because Chinese medical therapies treat energetic
imbalances in the body, fibromyalgia responds extremely well to this
type of treatment.

they each serve critical functions within the body; they are also critical
because the human body cannot create them and must obtain it from food
sources. ....
