Acupuncture for Stroke

For most people, stroke rehabilitation can be a very long and arduous journey.  Acupuncture has long been used as a form of stroke rehab.  Acupuncture therapy, when received on a regular basis can improve some of the physical debilitations of the stroke, but also improve the psychological and emotional state of the patient.

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  If you or someone you know has suffered from a stroke, I encourage you to seek out acupuncture for stroke rehabilitation.  In addition, acupuncture is quite effective in the treatment of the 'slouching face' that is so prevalent with Bell's Palsy.  For more information, email the office at k@kmondesire.com today.

Save the Life of a Stroke Vicitim by Knowing These Simple Steps

One of my readers asked me to share this information with all of you today.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S *Ask the individual to SMILE.


T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)


(i.e. It is sunny out today.)


R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.  The Chinese have known this for approximately 3,000 years and is taught in every Chinese Medical Institution here in the United States today.

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.  Acupuncture is highly effective to bring back function to the post stroke patient.  If you or anyone you know has suffered from a stroke, I encourage you or your loved one to begin a regular course of acupuncture treatment for a more effective rehabiliation.
I have done my part. Will you?

American Women Are Having More Strokes Than American Men

The number of women in the U.S. having strokes surpasses American men.  Women experiencing stroke present with change of consciousness, nausea, chest pain, heart palpitations, or difficulty catching their breath. Women should be aware of steps they can take to minimize the risk of stroke.  Some risk factors for female stroke include:  oral contraceptives (birth control pills), extra body fat (such as the spare tire around the belly), migraines, cigarette smoking, and pregnancy.
