I love helping women overcome all kinds of issues with acupuncture, but I take particular pride in helping women become mothers. As many of you know, I have a soft spot for this issue as I've also needed to overcome my own fertility issues before getting pregnant with my daughter. In this picture, I'm standing happy in front of the baby pictures my clients have sent me throughout the years after overcoming their own infertility issues. Is this a challenge for you? What quest...ions do you have regarding infertility and acupuncture? Comment below! - - - - #Acupuncture #ChineseMedicine #WomenDoctors #FemaleDoctors #WomenInMedicine #integrativehealth

The history repeats itself. The great empires rise and fall . The pandemics of cholera, bubonic plague, smallpox and influenza have killed millions of people in the past . The evidence of rising anti-Semitism in Europe has become impossible to ignore. In the continent where horror of Holocaust is still a living memory. There is nothing new under the Sky, But that which has been before - paraphrase of Shakespeare’s Sonnet. And as my Dad used to say : Your children will do to you, what you do to me..... So! Let’s remember the lessons of the history! Some of them are hard ones, some are easy ones. Any mistake of the history come to your mind? #history #mind #mistake #holoucast #europe #today #tomorrow #antisemitism #pandemic #health #healing #healingjourney #lucypostolov #acupuncture #chinesemedicine

Telemedicine allows me to evaluate, diagnose and treat my patients at a distance using communication technology( computers, video, phone, Zoom, FaceTime and many more)! How will you perform acupuncture via computer? Many patients would ask... I will not perform acupuncture, but I will help you to apply gold, silver or stainless steel acupressure beads on the points . Since the beginning of Covid 19 pandemic, I designed special charts, which I provide for each treatment of my ...patients. Sounds complicated? It is not! Most of my patients enjoy having private face to face time with me and learn how to apply the beads. No travel expenses or time ! Less time away from home or work! If you did not have a chance to try it yet, I strongly encourage you to do so. Most of my patients love it and I have a great success with my results. Many patients with cancer benefit from it and I even succeeded to help 3 of my patients get pregnant in the last 4 month!!! And during this difficult time stress, anxiety, insomnia, neck and back pains are responsive to treatment with acupressure.... Chinese Herbs and CBD products are also available! #telemedicine #appleiphone #integrativewomenshealth #thewomenwellnesscollective #travel #privacy #acupuncture #diagnose #treatment #patient #doctor #computer #cancer #cancersurvivor #pregnancy #fertility #gold #silver #beads #balance #stressrelief #insomniac #neckpain #lowbackpain #anxiety #lucypostolov #chinese #herbs #cbd See more

The pre-Soviet history of the yolka/Christmas tree is shared with much of Europe. It begins with a pagan tradition, possibly a tree of life, which came to be adorned with ribbon and candles in the dead of winter. When Peter the Great announced that the New Year would be celebrated on 1 January in accordance with the Julian calendar, he also pronounced that the streets and halls of the country should be decorated with fir, pine, and juniper branches the hardy evergreens th...at populated the forests. The tradition matured and was modified in innumerable ways until ornamented trees regularly stood in front of the village parish. In the 19th century, Tsar Nicholas I’s Prussian wife, Alexandra Feodorovna, brought a pine tree into their home at Christmas and gifts were given to both royal and poor children. With religious holidays out of the public view, New Year’s Eve became the chief celebration of the year. The yolka, which had been consigned to history just a few years earlier, made a comeback in 1935 when high-ranking officials convinced Joseph Stalin that the tree could be utilised for a secular holiday, as a symbol of Soviet children’s happiness and prosperity. For Russian people New Year is the biggest Holiday! And Yolka is its symbol. In the pictures are my sister( a bunny) and I ( a fox) age 2,5 and 5 dresses for a New Year. It was so much Fun!!!I still have Yolka in my home even if I am a Jew - it is my Russian tradition! And I always like bringing extra light in the darkest time of the year!!!!Happy Holidays!#holiday #christmas #celebrate #gifts #light #happy #balance #acupuncture #healingjourney #bh #womenphysicians #womensupportingwomen #womeninbusiness #smallbusinesssaturday

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. My grandmother passed away from breast cancer at the age of 35 ( when my mom was only 3 month old) . My mom passed away from breast cancer at the age of 62....so now you can understand why 60 % of my practice is Breast Cancer Patients!! Why my mission in life is to fight for survival of these Women!! According to American Cancer Society 1 out of 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during her lifetime. 1 out 38 will die. NIH P...anel Issues Consensus Statement on Acupuncture from 1997 A consensus panel convened by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) today concluded there is clear evidence that needle acupuncture treatment is effective for postoperative and chemotherapy nausea and vomiting, Research published in JAMA Oncology including contributions from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (New York), RMIT University (Australia), and Guangdong University (Guangzhou) researchers finds acupuncture effective for the relief of cancer pain and reduces the need for opioids. The investigators determined that true acupuncture produces significantly greater pain reduction than sham controls. They add that hospitals need to include acupuncture services to address this demand based on the growing evidence of the efficacy of acupuncture. [5] University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (Houston) and Fudan University Cancer Center (Shanghai) researchers conclude that acupuncture reduces the frequency and severity of xerostomia (dry mouth). The investigation of acupuncture’s effects on head and neck cancer patients receiving radiation finds that acupuncture resulted in significantly fewer and less severe RIX [radiation-induced xerostomia] symptoms 1 year after treatment vs SCC [standard care control].

The 3d day of election results.... and our nervous system and brain are working on overdrive. Words of wisdom: the fable from Confucius Master Chuang Tzu 400 B.C. , when he asked the best boatman the secret of his mastery the answer was: The art of control is to give up control.

HARVARD HEALTH PUBlSHING HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL Harvard Women's Health Watch The health benefits of TAI CHI This gentle form of exercise can help maintain strength, flexibility, and balance, and could be the perfect activity for the rest of your life. Updated: August 20, 2019Published: May, 2009... Tai chi is often described as "meditation in motion," but it might well be called "medication in motion." There is growing evidence that this mind-body practice, which originated in China as a martial art, has value in treating or preventing many health problems. And you can get started even if you aren't in top shape or the best of health. In this low-impact, slow-motion exercise, you go without pausing through a series of motions named for animal actions for example, "white crane spreads its wings" or martial arts moves, such as "box both ears." As you move, you breathe deeply and naturally, focusing your attention as in some kinds of meditation on your bodily sensations. Tai chi differs from other types of exercise in several respects. The movements are usually circular and never forced, the muscles are relaxed rather than tensed, the joints are not fully extended or bent, and connective tissues are not stretched. Tai chi can be easily adapted for anyone, from the most fit to people confined to wheelchairs or recovering from Harvard Women's Health Watch The health benefits of tai chi This gentle form of exercise can help maintain strength, flexibility, and balance, and could be the perfect activity for the rest of your life. A growing body of carefully conducted research is building a compelling case for tai chi as an adjunct to standard medical treatment for the prevention and rehabilitation of many conditions commonly associated with age. An adjunct therapy is one that's used together with primary medical treatments, either to address a disease itself or its primary symptoms, or, more generally, to improve a patient's functioning and quality of life . #health #healing #balance #taichi #move #meditate #medicated #harvardmedicalschool #life #muscle #animal #women #menopausesupport #thewomenwellnesscollective #womensupportwomen #lucypostolov

This Year the Double Yang Festival in Chinese Calendar falls on October 26. This is traditionally a time of the year of blooming of golden chrysanthemum flowers and drinking #chrysanthemum #tea . It is a time of the yea of #honoring your #ancestors . I am posting a picture of my #mom and #dad ( rest in peace). Health Benefits of Chrysanthemum Flowers The chrysanthemum is a plant that originally got its name from the Greek words for gold and flower. The gold in the chr...ysanthemum came from the mystical healing powers this colorful flower possessed. Today people use chrysanthemums to make various forms of medicine. In traditional medicine, chrysanthemum has been used to treat chest pain, high blood pressure, diabetes, headaches, dizziness, and more. The flower has the ability to increase blood flow to the heart and has also been found to increase a person’s sensitivity to insulin. These health benefits may come from the anti-inflammatory benefits of chrysanthemum tea. Chrysanthemum tea is a popular drink used to heal the body. This therapeutic tea is a great aid to digestion, is helpful at relieving nausea, can clear up colds, and can lower fevers. New research is showing that the flavonoid acacetin that is present in chrysanthemums may actually be able to fight prostate cancer- helping stop the cancer cells from growing. If you are allergic to ragweed or daisies, drinking this tea may cause a reaction, and it should be avoided. With all of the health benefits packed inside these tiny flowers, there are tons of reasons to go plant an entire garden of chrysanthemums today! If you don’t have the time or patience however to grow your own mum garden, Boyd’s Flower Connection is available with a wide assortment of beautiful chrysanthemum bouquets already arranged, perfect for your home! #healthyfood #balance #chinesefood #acupuncture #womensupportingwomen #digestion #healing #healingjourney #cancer #immunesupport #gold #year #2020vision #2020

SJ was referred to my practice for the 1st time in December 2018 by her #obgyn . She was informed that with her Ovarian Assessment Score being below average, even with #ivf her chance of getting #pregnant was very minimal. One month after #acupuncture and #Chinese #herbs #treatment the #patient got pregnant !!!! 9 month later she delivered a healthy baby boy!!!! 4 month after , while still #breastfeeding and in the time of #covid_19 she came to me and told me that she wa...nts another child.... after checking her #pulse and #tongue I had to be honest with her. I admitted that this time it will take me 3-6 months before she will get pregnant again. Women become depleted from pregnancy, #sleeplessnights , breastfeeding #bloodloss . After 6 month of #chinesemedicine treatment she is pregnant again!!!! I feel privileged and honored . For more information see: Medicine (2019) Systematic review and Meta-Analysis .
