ACUPUNCTURE FOR DEPRESSION

Depression is easily and successfully healed with Traditional Chinese Medicine!

Why do I say that?  Because my daughter Sara was healed several years ago; thanks to that episode in my daughter’s life I became an Acupuncturist and have successfully helped many patients suffering from it.

Unfortunately the anti-depressive medications do not work and the illness becomes more complex and difficult to treat.

In our practice at American Health Acupuncture we help effectively those suffering from depression using the Oriental Medicine principle that balance is the key to health.  We use several approaches depending on the condition, among them Acupuncture, Medicinal Chinese Herbs, Hypnotherapy, Hypnopuncture and Life Style Counseling.  If you, a family member or a friend is suffering from this condition, good news, that there is a way to heal yourself naturally.

La Comida Ayuda a el Dolor de Espalda – Tucson Acupunturista Receta

By Juan Tejada | Acupunturista

Yo trabajo con muchos pacientes que sufren de dolor de la espalda lumbar. En la medicina oriental la parte baja de la espalda es territorio de los riñones y si el paciente no ha sufrido trauma/accidente, nosotros tratamos a los riñones para reducir el dolor y con el tiempo, sanarla. Hay varias razones por las que los riñones pueden causar dolor lumbar, por ejemplo: Deficiencia de Energía/Chi, los riñones están muy fríos o muy calientes, etc. Por supuesto, usted puede ayudarse a fortalecer sus riñones con alimentos medicinales. Abajo hay una receta para que sus riñones sean sanos y fuertes.

Juan’s Sopa de Médula Ósea (Huesos con Médula/Tuétano/Meollo )

 
3 lbs. de huesos con tuétano
2 lbs. De Carne de res de sopa (cortada en cubos)
1 cebolla de tamaño mediano (en cubos)
3 hojas de laurel
1 libra de papas rojas (en cubos)
3 zanahorias medianas (en rodajas)
1 paquete de hojas verdes de berza (lavadas y cortadas en tiras de una pulgada)
1 limón
7 dientes de ajo (picado)
1 cucharada de jengibre (rallado)
Ponga los huesos en 7 tazas de agua, exprima el jugo de lima/limón en el agua y añade las hojas de laurel. Llévalo a ebullición y hervirlo a fuego lento durante dos horas, a continuación, saca los huesos, agregue la carne de caldo y deje que hierva por 20-30 minutos.

Ahora se añaden las patatas, las zanahorias, la cebolla, el ajo y las verduras en la olla hirviendo.

En este momento, agregue la sal y su sabor favorito mexicano, italiano, hindú (Yo lo hago de diferente sabor cada vez) y así sucesivamente. Deje hervir a fuego lento durante 15 minutos, deje que se enfríe un poco y serva!

¡Buen Apetito!

Food Helps Back Pain – Tucson Acupuncturist Recipe                                      By Juan Tejada | Acupuncturist

I work with a lot of patients suffering from low back pain. In Oriental Medicine the lower back is the Kidneys’ territory. So if no trauma is reported by the patient, we treat the kidneys to reduce the pain and with time, heal it. There are several reasons why the kidneys can cause low back pain. For example: Energy (Chi) Deficiency, Kidneys too cold or too hot… Of course you can help yourself with medicinal food. So here is a recipe to get and keep your kidneys strong and healthy with this Food Helps Back Pain Tucson Acupuncturist recipe.

Juan’s Beef (Bone Marrow) Soup 

 

3 lbs. of beef bones with marrow, (Bison- is our preferred favorite)

2 lbs. of beef soup meat (cubed)

1 organic lime or lemon (may substitute ¼ cup raw Organic apple cider vinegar)

3 bay leaves

1 lb. of organic red potatoes (cubed) – we substitute yucca root

3 medium size organic carrots (sliced)

1 bundle of organic collard greens or kale (cut in half inch length)

1 medium size organic Onion (cubed)

7 cloves of organic garlic (minced)

1 tbsp of organic ginger (grated) (Ginger warms the spleen, so the digestion works better.)

Put the bones in 7 cups of water, squeeze the juice of the lime/lemon in the water and then add the bay leaves. (Note: The juice of lime or lemon is very important to help the extract the calcium from the bones.) Bring it to boiling and lower the heat to simmer for two hours. Then remove the bones & Bay leaves. Add the soup meat and let come to a boil.

Now add the potatoes, carrots, onion, garlic, ginger and the greens in the boiling pot. At this time, add salt and your favorite seasonings, like; Mexican, Italian, Hindu (I make it a different flavor each time) and so on. Let it simmer for 15 minutes, let it cool a bit and serve! ¡Buen Apetito!

 

4 easiest ways to cook your bone marrow bones:

1-    Our Preferred method:  Electric pressure cooker with a timer (no evaporation and only 4 hours on high temp) Note: the Longer you cook them the more your leach the good stuff out from them. We usually set our Electric pressure cooker on the highest (canning) setting and cycle it several times for about a total of 6 hrs and then overnight on slow cooking setting for 12 hours. Yeah- about 18 hours- might as well get all the benefits!

2-     Slow cooker- 12 hours approx. (monitor water levels)

3-     On the side burner of your grill (boil 3-4 hours monitor water levels)

4-     On your stove top (boil 3-4 hours monitor water levels)

(Hint:  I prefer to cook outside – keeping my home free from food odors from the above 3 examples.)

(Remember to always add and cook the 3 Key Ingredients “Holy Trinity” to your broth- whether making it with other ingredients or not to remove the acidity from the beef bones. The Holy Trinity is also known as: onion, garlic, and ginger.)

Bone Broth or Bone Marrow Broth, it’s a good natural medicine. For over 22 years our Tucson Acupuncturist Juan Tejada has shared his recipe with thousands of his acupuncture patients.

Recently- a wave of Bone Broth products have come out on the market. This has created some confusion to what is the best for our patients.  Juan says 1st and foremost recommends:

1-      Natural real beef bones with marrow prepared into his broth recipe and then used in soups or consumed as liquid/broth are the absolute best way to get all the nutrition and health benefits.  (Source your meat and bones from pasture raised and pasture finished)

Note VERY IMPORTANT:  Juan’s Bone Broth recipe – uses Traditional Chinese Medicine’s ancient knowledge of using lime/lemon juice to boil the bones to extract the calcium from the bones. AND utilizes 3 key ingredients to take out the acidity from the beef bones.

2-      Do not use chicken bones- they are too hot – especially for women.

So needless to say- There are no shortcuts to good health! Just take a little time and do it! Make the real deal and gain the benefits. YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine Facts About Bone Broth

Bone Broth or Bone Marrow Broth, it’s a good natural medicine. For 20 years our Tucson Acupuncturist Juan Tejada has shared his recipe with thousands of his acupuncture patients.

Recently- a wave of Bone Broth products have come out on the market. This has created some confusion to what is the best for our patients.  Juan says 1st and foremost recommends:

1-      Natural real beef bones with marrow prepared into his broth recipe and then used in soups or consumed as liquid/broth are the absolute best way to get all the nutrition and health benefits.

Note VERY IMPORTANT:  Juan’s Bone Broth recipe (given to new patients) uses Traditional Chinese Medicine’s ancient knowledge of using lime/lemon juice to boil the bones to extract the calcium from the bones…. and then uses 3 secret key ingredients to take out the acidity from the beef bones.

2-      Do not use chicken bones- they are too hot according to Traditional Chinese Medicine food energetic’s – especially for women.

3    Because some patients were asking for processed pre-packaged products to use in a pinch….
We decided to research and contact two highly advertised Bone Broth suppliers of pre-made bone both products for a confirmation of their ingredients.

Quite a surprise for me was – I didn’t know that I would need to ask what kind of bones they use for making their Beef Bone Broth until she told me they were made from boiled chicken bones and not sure if they had marrow in them.

I gave up in all good conscience to recommend any as they have been industrialized and processed until the life giving energy is mostly all gone. Besides, it’s so easy to make your own, delicious, and more economical.

Questions to ask when selecting real marrow bones or  any industrialized products are:

  1. Which animal are the bones from?
  1. Asking if they contain any marrow in them before they process is a must too.
  1. Were the bones form the animals 100% grass fed and grass finished? (no corn or feed lot at any part of the life of the animal) (And not the term “vegetarian diet”- this just adds confusion to waht you are getting. Their natural diet is just grass and what they eat becomes what you eat.)
  1. Did they process the bones with lemon or lime juice or vinegar? And for what length of time?
  1. Also note any chemical names or flavorings, spices or flavorings that are not named or any use of sweeteners should not be listed in the ingredients. This is a Major red flag!

So needless to say- There are no shortcuts to good health! Just take a little time and do it! Make the real deal and gain the health benefits. YOU ARE WORTH IT!
