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.
