Do you suffer from
Heart Conditions
**Hypertension (with medication), **acute stroke, ***angina pectoris and even ***heart failure can all be supported with Acupuncture Therapy and Chinese Herbal Medicine Therapy. These treatments are designed to work in conjunction with your Western Medical Treatment in a supportive role.
And with one in two men and one in three women expected to develop heart conditions in their life, now has never been a better time to take charge of your heart health.
In fact, you may already have high cholesterol levels and like so many others, show no symptoms.
But don’t worry, it’s not too late, acupuncture can help in the early treatment and prevention of heart conditions and heart disease, and can also be used to treat a range of other common conditions including **smoking cessation (up to 3 months) and even support you with your weight loss protocols.
Acupuncture needles, applied at specific “meridians” or energy points along the body, work to reduce **hypertension (with medication) in conjunction with anti-hypertensive medications, or aggressive and radical lifestyle and dietary changes.
Complimentary to acupuncture, Chinese herbs and herbal formulas can also be used in conjunction with anti-hypertensive medications to drop blood pressure levels, including Shan Zha (Fructus Crataegi) or the Hawthorn Berry.
But first, here are some of the dietary causes for “bad” cholesterol:
Saturated fats, a type of fat found mostly in foods that come from animals;
Trans fats, found in foods made with hydrogenated oils and fats; and,
Cholesterol, which comes only from animal products.
Being overweight also raises cholesterol levels and triglycerides – a fatty substance found in the blood and in some food.
But there is more good news: acupuncture in conjunction with a weight loss diet and exercise can help you lose extra pounds, helping you look and feel healthier, younger and more energetic, while also supporting your reduction of bad fats and triglycerides.
Instead of feeling lethargic and un-satiated Acupuncture Therapy and Chinese Herbal Medicine Therapy can energize the body, maximizing the absorption of nutrients, while suppressing appetite and reducing **anxiety.
And if lowering blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels, as well as losing weight are not reasons enough to add acupuncture and Chinese herbs into your Western Medical treatment plan; these alternative treatments can also improve **insomnia which in itself brings bonus health benefits.
Poor sleep has been linked to high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, heart failure, heart attacks, stroke, diabetes, and obesity.

PROFESSIONAL EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE
Under Australian National Law, claims of efficacy of treatment are required to be made with reference to research of a high standard.
Traditionally Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years, in many countries, world wide to assist with a wide range of conditions. However, not all have evidence of efficacy that meet Australian National Law requirements.
I have therefore grouped and colour coded the conditions treated into three different areas, as follows:
*STRONG EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE EFFICACY OF ACUPUNCTURE
**MODERATE EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE EFFICACY OF ACUPUNCTURE
***WEAK POSITIVE / UNCLEAR EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE EFFICACY OF ACUPUNCTURE
Additional conditions may potentially benefit from using Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, however western scientific evidence may not yet exist for these.
