 Tea:
The Elixir of Life By Dr. Maoshing Ni, L.Ac., D.O.M., Ph.D. Delicious, low-calorie, and brimming with antioxidants, tea is quickly becoming the most commonly consumed beverage worldwide, after water. Even in the U.S., its popularity is rapidly growing. And why not? With the health benefits you stand to gain, you, too, will want to drink up.  |

The Susan Samueli Center for Integrative
Medicine at the University of California,
Irvine, dedicated to advancing patient care
through education, evidence-based research and
applied integrative medical therapies, today
released findings that show acupuncture can help
normalize blood pressure - lower pressure when
it is elevated or raise pressure when it is too
low - and complements treatments for
cardiovascular patients. The Center found that
acupuncture combined with low levels of
electrical stimulation can lower elevations in
blood pressure by as much as 40 percent.

This
December 2007, as part of a group of five acupuncturists from North
America, I was privileged to spend three weeks in Uganda teaching local
healthcare workers acupuncture. The response from all parties was
incredibly positive. The Pan African Acupuncture Project (PAAP) training system is based on highly successful
models such as the ‘Barefoot Doctors’ in China and ‘GUAMAP’ in
Guatemala. PAAP is a very practical training system that is geared
towards getting healthcare workers from training to treating patients
with acupuncture as fast and as safely as possible.
