Weekly Links- June 12
Posted on June 12, 2008 by Yael
It’s time for our weekly links post, again, and I think you’ll find these links very interesting:
Face-lift via Acupuncture: I’m bringing this link mainly because I don’t like it. In fact it actually annoys me to read that people use Chinese Medicine for cosmetic reasons such as a face-lift. Where exactly is the “Chinese Medicine way of thinking” here? Chinese Medicine is much more than just points to needle and look better, you know what I mean?
Pets as Herbal Teachers- part 2: here’s a cute story about Samantha, a dog, who had a bad case of fleas and a rash. Her owner Wendy used astragalus among other things, to help her cope. Take a look.
Tiger Sanctuaries Selling Bone For Chinese Medicine: yep, that is an unpleasant bit of news to read, but should be known. I remember someone asking me to tell the Chinese Medicine people to leave the rhinos alone….
Acupuncture Safe For Kids- Review: Susanna NG over at Chinese Medicine News is doing a great job at keeping us all informed with the latest on Chinese Medicine. As a mother who is giving her son acupuncture treatments since he was 4 months old, I can say that acupuncture is safe for children of all ages, all you need is someone who knows what he’s doing.
I Hate Chinese Medicine: oh my, with a title like that this is something I should look into! If you want to hear an honest opinion of a Chinese Medicine patient on her formula- this is the place to go.
Doctors Using Acupuncture During Surgery: that sounds amazing!
Questionable Decision By The FDA: Natural News is questioning the decision of the FDA to approve an OTC product that has the same chemical of the unapproved Ephedra.
Needles Help Ease Pain of Depression- Study: a bit of news from Sydney Australia, about the benefits of acupuncture.

Hi Yael. First, You know I love your blog, right? I remember when I first heard about Facial Rejuvenation acupuncture–face lift acupuncture–I too rolled my eyes and assumed it couldn’t possibly represent wisdom in any form. About 4 years ago, for a variety of reasons involving friendship and other synchronicities, I decided to subdue my superiority and take a closer look. I did a FR training, and came away with a lot of respect for it’s intent–to address the underlying imbalances that cause some individuals to lose vitality in the face. I also gained respect for the effects of such “exterior-focused” treatments on the interior landscape of body mind and spirit. After all, we are one, not a collection of parts. The channel system itself exists on the surface. So, respectfully, I concluded that there is nothing wrong with tending to the surface. That said, I avoid writing anything on my own blog about Facial Rejuvenation because for me there are far more interesting lines of inquiry! Julie
Hi Julie,
Alright. How about you write a post about it here on CMNotes then?
Seriously, I would love to learn more about this thing, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.
So what do you say?
