There are also lots of books out there discussing acupressure and reflexology for a variety of conditions - see which ones resonate with you.OneDNPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13154826509898126475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27290410.post-1147832603108273492006-05-16T22:23:00.000-04:002006-05-16T22:23:00.000-04:00I was just reading back through your blog and came...I was just reading back through your blog and came across the do-it-yourself accupressure treatment for high cholesterol.

Something else that is great is hawthorn (Shan Zha). You can get the tea at most grocery stores and it is fantastic not only for high cholesterol, but also aids in the digestion of greasy/fatty foods(aka food stagnation). Not a bad flavor of tea either!OneDNPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13154826509898126475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27290410.post-1147810613147669082006-05-16T16:16:00.000-04:002006-05-16T16:16:00.000-04:00Okay, this doesn't have anything to do with accupu...Okay, this doesn't have anything to do with accupuncture, but it does have to do with natural medicine and doctors....ahem.<BR/><BR/>My hubby was put on cholesterol pills over a couple years ago because his count got a little high. He started out on Lipitor, which left him lethargic, and then went to Crestor, which seemed to do the trick without zapping his energy, but we are very anti-drug and feel that there should be a more natural way to handle such things. So he "asked his doctor" to recommend something besides a drug that he could take to do the same thing. After arguing with him for some time, the doctor finally relented and told him to try Red Yeast Rice, a natural herb. He's been taking that regularly for over a year now and all seems to be well with his cholesterol. Hmmmm........interesting, dontcha think???<BR/><BR/>Did I tell you that I think our society is over-medicated??? :)kbughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07223790985074382728noreply@blogger.com
