Acupuncture Increases Chances of Success with Invitro Fertilization: Women undergoing IVF were 65 percent more likely to become pregnant when they combined the procedure with acupunture, according to a study published in the February, 2008 issue of the British Medical Journal. Acupuncture stimulates the production of hormones which control the menstrual cycle and ovulation, stimulates blood flow to the uterus and helps the body to relax. The researchers in the study concluded that acupuncture is a cost-effective, safe and efficient way of boosting the success rate of fertility treatments.

Facial Rejuvenation Treatments Now Available: This is a series of treatments than can restore the youthful look of healthy skin, diminish fine lines, and improve skin tone. This is a natural and gentle process that includes a warm herbal mask, facial massage and fine needles. The technique can improve muscle tone of the face and neck while addressing underlying imbalances that may have contributed to the aging process. The procedure helps your Qi to circulate throughout the body, providing nourishment, support, and energy to every cell, tissue, muscle and organ.
