Description
“Acupuncture and Eye Health” – a comprehensive guide to utilizing acupuncture to address various eye conditions such as macular degeneration, dry eyes, glaucoma, and retinitis pigmentosa.
As we spend more and more time staring at screens, our eyes are becoming increasingly strained, leading to a rise in eye conditions in people as young as 30-40 years old. However, this book presents a solution – acupuncture. Boston and Boca acupuncturists have been treating eye problems for over 30 years, and the youngest patient who had glaucoma was an 8-year-old boy, showing that acupuncture is effective for people of all ages.
Acupuncture can address two critical elements of eye health: increasing blood flow to the eyes and reducing inflammation in the nerves and retina. Recent research has shown that acupuncture can help the body produce more growth hormones, which are essential for regenerating peripheral nerves, including those in the retina’s macula. Many doctors in Europe have been using electrical acupuncture to improve circulation to the retina, and Dr. Andey Rosenfarb’s research has shown that acupuncture can improve the function of retinal cells, leading to immediate improvement in vision after treatment.
The book also highlights the importance of a healthy lifestyle, including a proper diet, regular physical activity, and sufficient sleep, in maintaining good eye health. Acupressure, Chinese herbs, and meditation are also recommended to help reduce stress, eliminate insomnia, and facilitate the production of growth hormones.
In addition to presenting scientific evidence and clinical cases, this book provides specific protocols for each eye condition, allowing acupuncturists to tailor their treatments effectively. The clinical cases included in the book provide evidence that electrical acupuncture is effective in improving circulation to the eyes, although it may not be suitable for people who have panic attacks, high levels of anxiety, and insomnia.
Readers can expect to learn how to apply pressure on specific acupuncture points to bring more oxygen and blood flow to their eyes, digestive system, and adrenal glands, thus reducing inflammation and improving circulation. The book also explains why some people may achieve faster and better treatment results than others and informs readers that it may take 4 to 12 months to see good results from acupuncture treatment.
Overall, “Acupuncture and Eye Health” is a valuable resource for anyone looking to maintain good eye health or seeking alternative treatments for various eye conditions. With a combination of scientific evidence, clinical cases, and specific treatment protocols, this book offers readers a comprehensive understanding of the benefits of acupuncture for eye health.
