After the next treatment I lost another 2 lbs. so far after 3 session I have successfully kept the 5 lbs

I went to the doctor only to receive pain medication. 6 weeks later, still having pain went back to the doctor in which he told me I needed physical therapy. Physical Therapy didn’t work, here it is October and still in pain. I found the 12 Meridians Acupuncture in Columbus, Ohio and made an appointment. By this time I was still skeptic about

Immediately I felt calm when she put one of the needles in a certain point, but after a few treatments, it lasted longer. I look forward to treatments and am very thankful to be calm at home with my family. I no longer feel as stressed out about things that I did before. I

I wasn’t sleeping well, I was so self-conscious about my face that I didn’t want to leave the house. Just 3 weeks later, I now feel better than any time I can remember. I have the energy to do activities. My skin is healing well. My great thanks to Brigitta Moskova, Acupuncturist.”

“As an avid extreme sportiest, for most of my Life I have experienced backpain, breaks and other chronic pain. I thought I would just have to live with it. Now after only a few sessions with Brigitta I am sleeping better, my pain is more manageable and I have increased flexibility of motion. Acupuncture has given me a renewed quality of Life.”

“I injured my neck at work. As a nurse I rarely ember to take time out for myself. I woke the next morning with a stiff neck and called Brigitta for a session. I experienced an immediate instant relief of over 30% and complete 100%relief after the next day’s session. Combining white flower oil and cupping did the trick.”

Before my acupuncture treatments, it hurt when I walked and I had to bend forward when I walked! Now, after a month of treatments, I can walk straight up and without any pain!! Also, my sciatica in my leg is healed.

I never have had acupuncture done before and was very new to it all, but was recommended by my doctor. After looking at Brigitta’s website I gave it a try and am very thankful I did. Not only did the acupuncture help my pain immensely, but the office and overall experience was very positive. Brigitta

Regrowth: Spring and Traditional Chinese Medicine
Three thousand years ago, when Chinese medicine was first being practiced, there was no light or electricity. No way to mask the darkness of winter. No way, either, to ignore the longer, warmer days of springtime. Because it is such an ancient practice, a lot of the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine comes from a time when people spent much more time outside, paying attention to the natural world around them. continue reading
Acupuncture for Diabetes
More than 34 million Americans have diabetes, and approximately 90 percent of them have type 2 diabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Type 2 diabetes, while its exact cause is unknown, develops when the body becomes resistant to insulin or the pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin. Because of this, treatment often involves taking “insulin sensitizers” or medication that helps the body increase its sensitivity and therefore ability to process insulin, keeping the blood sugar from getting too low. Unfortunately, this medication often causes side effects, including weight gain and anemia. continue reading
5 Acupoints for Anxiety You Can Administer Yourself
“At a time when people are so conscious of maintaining their physical health by controlling their diets, exercising, and so forth, it makes sense to try to cultivate the corresponding mental attitudes too.”
– HH the Dalai Lama, 1963
It can be easy to forget how much our mental state can affect our physical well-being. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, that connection is evident in the treatment strategies, but it is also true that when we are feeling bad, we don’t always think to look at our minds. It works both ways. continue reading
