Acupuncture is a health care modality that has been used for over 3000 years and is part of the medical systems of China, Korea, Japan and other Asian countries. 
Acupuncture is based on the premise that there are patterns of energy flow (Qi) through the body that are essential for health. Disruptions of this flow are believed to be responsible for disease. In Western Medicine terms according to the latest research, this Qi is nothing more, but the conversation and energy exchange that cells of our bodies are constantly having with each other. When there is a break in their communication - disease follows. That is why first thing your acupuncturist is assessing is the state of your QI.
Acupuncture is a technique in which Fine needles are inserted into the skin at specific points along these meridians with the goal of restoring balance and promoting the free flow of Qi. 
Acupuncture has been shown to be an effective treatment for a wide variety of medical conditions. It is most commonly used to treat pain, but it is also used to treat a wide variety of other conditions including: nausea, fatigue, stress, anxiety, menstrual cramps, indigestion and high blood pressure.

The Microneedling or   Collagen Induction Therapy is a non-invasive, transepidermal serum delivery system that uses a specialized   acupuncture pen device that involves rapid insertion of very fine needles into the skin while introducing saturation of therapeutic serum combined with hyaluronic acid into the skin’s self-repair process.  This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, while not posing the risk of permanent scarring. The result is smoother, firmer and more radiant looking skin tone and texture. Microneedling treatment is performed by our acupuncturist in a safe and precise manner with a sterile needle head and is usually completed within 30-45 minutes. We use only the finest grade 100% natural herbal serums which are specifically selected for your skin type. Aftercare includes 20 minutes of cooling facial mask and stress reducing body acupuncture protocol. You will notice the difference immediately - the skin will look and feel hydrated, bright and smoother after just one treatment. A series of 3-6 sessions are recommended for most beneficial results.  When performed monthly and is made into a regular face care routine, microneedling helps with pigmentation, prevents appearance of fine lines, maintains a healthy glow, boosts circulation & hydration, stimulates collagen, elastin production.  Treatments are performed once every 4 weeks. 

While cups can be made of glass, bamboo, ceramic, or silicone material, at Blue Zone LA Wellness we prefer the oldest version - glass, which is also known as Fire Cupping. How does the whole cupping therapy process happen? The general knowledge is “it is basically just like a massage, but the other way around”. In more scientific words cupping therapy is a soft tissue modality that uses negative pressure to gently lift the skin and underlying connective tissue. This lifting process enhances blood flow in muscles that are tight, painful, and restricted by creating space for old, oxygen-depleted blood to leave so that fresh, oxygen-rich blood can enter. In TCM, cupping therapy promotes the free flow of Qi and blood by removing blockages and stagnation along the meridians that cause pain. As we learned from before about QI-cupping therapy improves the communication between cells of our body. One potential “side effect” of cupping is bruising also known as cupping marks. In Chinese medicine it shows how much work must be done to rid body of old, stagnant blood in the muscle layer and therefore reduce pain, tension and stress on the physical body and mind respectively. In TCM every response by the body to any treatment can be diagnostically interpreted. In the case with cupping, the goal is to get the least bruising reaction after the treatment, which usually comes with regular once per week cupping.

Tele-medicine with an acupuncturist is a system that allows a patient to be seen and treated by a licensed acupuncturist without having to travel to a clinic or hospital. This system is especially beneficial for patients who are located far from a licensed acupuncturist, are immobile, or are sick. 
During a tele-medicine with an acupuncturist session, Veronica will spend thirty minutes to an hour going over the your health concerns and will come up with a treatment plan. This may include an herbal prescription and/or a series of acupuncture treatments that may be required to address the symptoms. Tele-Medcine is especially convenient for patients that are seeking herbal formulation help and are located far from our office. 
 

Herbal medicine is one of the oldest forms of healthcare in the world. The first written record of herbal medicine dates back to the Sumerians in Mesopotamia, who compiled lists of plants used for treating various conditions around 3,000 BCE.

Despite its long history, herbal medicine is often viewed as a fringe modality. This is likely because most pharmacological drugs today are derived from plants.

While the use of plants as medicine has declined in recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in herbalism in the last few decades. This is likely due to the side effects of many modern medications, as well as the growing interest in natural health remedies.

IHerbal prescriptions from an acupuncturist are based on ancient concepts of herbal formula writing. Veronica uses classic formulas, adding modern twists to account for the evolution of disease. She also incorporates the newest research and knowledge she has acquired from her doctorate program, mentoring with some of the greatest Chinese doctors, and 17 years of experience.
