As we age, it is natural for our bones to become weaker and more brittle.
This process is known as osteoporosis, where the mass of the bone degenerates leaving you prone to bone fractures and breaks.
More than 3 million United States cases of osteoporosis are diagnosed a year, and although there is no cure for this natural process, there are many things one can do to slow down their bone degeneration. These habits include a healthy diet, light weight-bearing exercise, herbal formulas and supplements, and acupuncture.
Research published in the Journal of Clinical Acupuncture and Moxibustion demonstrated that patients who received acupuncture and herbs with standard medical care were having a 92.5% total effective rate compared to the other patients who had 80% total effective rate when receiving just standard medical care.
The acupuncture and herbs not only significantly increased bone mineral density, but patients also reported improvement in their walking and reduced dizziness, numbness, and pain.
