Is Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture “cosmetic?”
Over the past couple of days, I’ve been doing some heavy thinking. The question being: Is Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture “cosmetic?” Should the work I do be called “Cosmetic Acupuncture” or not? This was a recent discussion I had with several other Acupuncturists. Some felt that “cosmetic” was an appropriate term to describe the work we do. […]
I was so frightened. I remember looking in the mirror and putting up a hand to feel the right side of my face. It felt odd – not quite numb, but not quite normal either. I couldn’t blink or close my right eye. My smile was lopsided. The entire right side of my face drooped. […]
Trigeminal Neuralgia is a chronic pain condition that affects the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensation from your face to your brain. If you suffer from Trigeminal Neuralgia, you know exactly how painful it can feel.

2017 is certainly a year of change! My firstborn, Patrick, will complete his treatment for leukemia on March 30th. His chemoport will be removed. And then he’s done. He’s been pronounced cancer free. Thank you all for your support over the past three and half years! Because of those life circumstances, I’ve had to make […]
In order to understand marketing messages within the beauty industry, I’ve been looking at some local Med Spa ads. And it’s making my gears grind. There’s a pretty big disconnect happening. And it ain’t pretty. Right now, women may be thinking that what they’re receiving from a Med Spa is complete whole body wellness. Here’s […]
Although the Purple Cloud Ointment formula has been around for several hundred years, not too many of us here in the States know about it. So I want to make sure that folks are aware of it. It’s too good not to share. Due to the climate here in Northern Colorado, most of us have […]
At Artesian Spring Oriental Medicine, our newest tagline is “Be Seen Deeper.” But what does that mean? I shot a short video to answer just that question. Take a look! [embedyt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa3u29ibHmA[/embedyt] Be seen deeper. What does that mean? It means that you’re not seen on a superficial level. It means you’re not […]
It’s with great disappointment that I must inform you, my readers, that the blog I’ve been writing since 2007 has been obliterated. Due to how my former web host, AllProWebTools, modified the blog code, I can’t get my blog pages to upload back into WordPress. AllProWebTools claims it’s not their responsibility and they’ve given my […]
