Are you looking for a pain terminator?
Tools to Enhance Your Acupuncture Treatment
Yesterday I ‘rocked’ it with getting paperwork done. Today though, I am stiff and tight in my mid-back. So much for small successes.
Have you been there? Maybe you didn’t sit most of the day but feel sore in your hips?
Okay, you’re a fitness warrior since you’ve had more time and less commuting. It’s strained a muscle or twisted an ankle sending your brain blaring pain broadcast signals.
Let’s Turn Down the Pain Volume.
My go-twos are simple.
- Get acupuncture—especially Electro-Acupuncture Medicine or EAM. I do think. If you can’t come in, then there’s dynamic acupressure you can learn through Telemedicine with me too.Putting this cream on following acupuncture helps to treat the upper layers of the muscle bringing about further healing. Plus, it feels great.Do you know how many patients think the essential oils or creams I place on them at the end effective in helping them feel better? 98% tell me it is.
- Next, for at-home, let’s talk about Pain Terminator patches and cream. It’s a cool heat that penetrates deep into joints and muscles for quick relief. Using the patches and cream at home can lengthen the relief time from your EAM or Electro-acupuncture medicine treatment.
Electro-Acupuncture Medicine More Than A Little Boost
Because Dr. Deb’s Orthopedic Acupuncture treatments are EAM based, these therapies are scientifically researched. The basic electric acupuncture taught is schools only add a little extra punch to treatment. EAM is part of extensive research both in Western and Eastern Medicine around how Electro frequency can health the body.
The Pain Terminator and EAM For Better Healing
When you’re in the office, ask Dr. Deb [that’s me] to apply The Pain Terminator at the end of your treatment. Or if you’re doing a telemedicine visit for pain relief, ask if The Pain Terminator cream or patch is best for you.
Are there other patches and creams out there? You bet, and online stores [even the big name one] has plenty. Remember, they may add drugs that aren’t listed. They may have filters or preservatives added that aren’t on the label.
I like and use just a few patches and creams in my practice because they’re the cleanest and natural.
Chemicals can and will worsen your pain over time, even if they provide immediate temporary relief, so be careful with using Dr. Google for your medical advice or what to use.
So, let’s end with a question. Are you in pain and want to try my solutions? Click the link in my bio and either call me or make an appointment.

The New Normal Series
Skin Care Routine- Phyto Active Face Cream By Glo Skin Beauty
Yes, my work mostly concentrates on pain management or other health issues. But I’ve noticed that how we feel about appearance does indeed matter.
Many clients also care about their skin. I do too!
My favorite morning moisturizer is Phyto Active Face Cream from Glo Skin Beauty. I’ve tried others, but they have a clean product that works on my dry skin.
Let me clarify.
I lack moisture in my skin, and that’s a big deal if you’re working to slow the effects of aging and pollution. In building a skincare routine, moisturizing is step three after cleansing and toning.
Let’s face it. When our face feels clean and soft, we feel better in general. It’s not much different from when knee pain or back pain lessens.
Humans seek pleasure, not pain, or so says psychology.
So let’s talk, “Glo.”
What I like is how this ultra-rich moisturizer provides more than hydration. While I’m no spire- chicken [as mom would have said at my age], this product works on older skin and for women in their 30’s. Phyto-Active Face Cream targets my aging concerns with plant stem cell technology and the ultimate combination of anti-aging ingredients for smoother-looking, refreshed skin, and enhanced radiance.
Okay, here’s what is in Phyto Active Face Cream by Glo Skin Beauty.
Buddleja Davidii (Plant Stem Cell), Kombuchka, Derm SRC want to know more about these natural ingredients let’s talk!
It’s our time to go deeper than the outer world of busy and possessions around us. Take the time to allow ourselves to take care of us. It’s deeper than a skincare routine. While using Glo Skin Beauty products is my outer self-care, it’s not all I do for me.
Recently the world was invited to a meditation retreat due to COVID-19. This is a call to go inside yourself and become stronger. Telemedicine and health coaching work on your Inner Light and your Glo.
Contact my office to learn more. You’re invited to call, messenger, or setup your first online visit with Dr. Deb.

Whether You’re At Home Or Traveling
I hate getting sick. However, when I start to feel a little off – you know a scratchy throat or slight fever I begin this routine. This is what to take when you get sick too.
My Home Natural Medicine Cabinet Recommendations
- Yin Qiao With Echinacea. This superior formula is excellent to start the minute you feel like something isn’t right. A mild sore throat or tingle, for instance. A slight fever or ache that isn’t your normal you. We’ll give you instructions on how to take this to help you bypass these problems or lessen the severity when you give us a call. Learning what to take when you get sick is possible and we’re happy to help.
- Chuan Xin Lian is a natural antiviral, antibacterial, and natural antibiotic without the side-effects. We’ll be happy to help you with the best dosing for you as our client or patient.
- Viracid is a delightful blend of western and eastern herbs that you should begin the minute you start to notice any symptoms. These indications include digestive problems. I take this with me when I travel to certain countries and take it daily as a preventive for stomach issues. It is excellent for any viral problem.
- Bi Yan Pian is my go-to for sinus infections or congestion. Now you have to know which type of sinus problem you’re having because it works on those that Pe Min Kan Wan does not. Working with a professional either in person or by phone can help you know what to take when you get sick.
- Pe min Kan Wan is best for a clear runny discharge of the nose. Super for allergies or runny nose colds. It will dry up, so let’s talk.

As I write this, there’s a big scare about a virus in China. They call it the Corona virus. Thankfully it’s not hit the USA except for a few cases. Using acupuncture for viruses and colds is not new. It’s ancient medicine. Not just in China but throughout Asia Major and Minor.
Acupuncture and Herbals Year Round
How can we protect ourselves from this nasty and sometimes fatal infection and others? What can we do to avoid colds? Sure, you can get a flu shot, if that is okay with you.
Still, the flu shot will not protect you in this case or against cold and viruses.
Below is my protocol that keeps me healthy. It can work for you too! My husband uses it and so other patients and clients. Using acupuncture for viruses and colds is a common request in our practice. Most patients choose to use acupuncture as a preventative and stay well.
This 3 step protocol works for all adults who are on a large number of western drugs or medicines.
3 Steps To Stay Healthy All Year Long
- Get acupuncture when you’re well. Yes, come in for wellness acupuncture once a month. That’s only 12 visits a year. Most people visit a coffee shop or their nail salon more than that!
Using acupuncture for viruses and colds out dates western medicine OTC drugs by centuries. It has no side-effects, can lessen how long you stay ill, and ease some of your symptoms if you’re already sick.
If you don’t have a cold or viruses is can mean the difference between getting one or not.
Let Herbs Help
2. Follow my year-round herbal protocol. This consists of three formulas that you take daily. Accent On Health Wellness can provide you as a patient or online shopper with the ability to get these year-round sent to your home.
-
- An enzyme, vitamin, herbal blend to boost your immune system. Take two of these with breakfast all year to stay resistant.
- A unique blend of vitamin C. This one protects you against heart disease too.
- A particular type and strength of D vitamin. I recommend this formula because it not only keeps your immune system healthy, it powers you up against cognitive disease. Taking just plain ole’ D won’t do it.
If You Get A Cold or Virus Be Prepared At Home
