  An estimated 39 million Americans — adults and children — suffer from migraines. That means one out of every four households in the United States has at least one person who gets migraines. These chronic, debilitating headaches take a hefty toll on your well-being and ability to live a full, productive life. Many migraine sufferers go from doctor to doctor looking for that treatment or  combination of treatments   that can make a real difference. More of them have turned to acupuncture to relieve their pain and get them back to living a fuller life.  Vonda Muncy ,  a highly skilled acupuncturist and traditional Chinese medicine specialist at  Soul Potential Acupuncture & Wellness , shares her experiences about treating migraines with acupuncture here. Migraines aren’t just headaches A migraine is a type of severe chronic headache that, if untreated, can last from 4–72 hours. This neurological condition is usually triggered by something such as: Bright lights Stress or tension Cha

  Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is a type of central vision distortion caused by damage to the macular tissue located in the retina at the back of the eye. When central vision is functioning correctly, it is easy to read, drive and identify faces. When this area begins to lose visual clarity, it’s like applying petroleum jelly to the center of the eye, causing distortion in the middle of the field of vision. AMD is divided into two types: wet (exudative) and dry (atrophic). Dry AMD is the more common form of AMD, occurs in about 85–90% of the AMD population. Dry AMD is less serious than wet AMD. Wet AMD is defined by the appearance of new blood vessels under the retina. These new blood vessels tend to be weak and cause fluid or blood leakage, which can distort vision and lead to retinal damage.1 AMD is caused by the buildup of a yellowish deposit called drusen, a fatty protein. Drusen build-up occurs because nutrients are not getting to the eye and waste is not being removed

  What is infertility? Infertility is defined as the inability of getting pregnant after 1 year of unprotected sex. If no pregnancy occurs after 1 year, experts suggest seeking medical care. In cases where the female is over 35 years of age, medical care should begin after 6 months of trying to conceive without success. What are the causes of infertility? More and more women are delaying starting a family as their careers take priority. The age of first maternal birth is on rise. As women age,  fertility   decreases. Women in their late 30’s are about ½ as fertile as they were in their 20’s. Male fertility is typically not affected until after age 501. Other possible causes of infertility:2 PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) Hormone dysregulation due to hypothalamus or pituitary gland dysfunction Structural issues with ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus or cervix Endometriosis which can affect the uterine lining and prevent implantation Low sperm count, low quality of sperm or issues wit

  There are many reasons women wait to begin starting a family after the age of 35. Different life circumstances such as a focus on furthering a successful career, meeting the appropriate partner later in life, or not feeling ready to become a parent are just a few of the reasons women delay having children until their mid to late 30’s. For couples, ages 35 and older,  infertility   is defined as the inability to become pregnant after 6 months of trying to conceive. My personal journey to become a mother began in my late 30’s as I was pursuing a successful airline career. I didn’t feel ready to start a family until I was 39 years old. After becoming pregnant, things seemed to be progressing fine until, at 13 weeks, during a routine prenatal appointment, my midwife could not find a heartbeat. I was immediately sent to the hospital where the doctor confirmed the baby I was carrying was no longer alive. A DNC was scheduled because my body was not releasing the lifeless baby. To make matte

  While modern medicine has made incredible advances when it comes to healing the human body, it hasn’t yet been able to crack many medical conditions, including age-related macular degeneration. This condition is one of the leading causes of vision impairment and blindness around the world and affects 11 million people in the United States alone — and this number is predicted to double to 22 million by 2050 thanks to an aging population. Despite these large numbers, little progress has been made in treating or reversing this sight-robbing disease. That said, one area of medicine is showing great promise in resolving macular degeneration, and it’s a therapy that’s been in practice for millennia —  acupuncture .
