The Birth & Baby Expo at the Midtown Global Market was great! We got to talk with many new and expecting parents and also a great variety of practitioners about the work we do.

If you missed it, here some info we had at our table:

Acupuncture is part of a system of medicine that evolved more than 3000 years ago in China. People discovered that inserting fine needles into specific points on the body stimulated the body’s innate ability to heal itself. While acupuncture techniques have been refined over the centuries, the essential theory behind the practice has remained intact. The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes 85 conditions in which acupuncture is an effective therapy. Conditions include digestive disorders, addiction, nausea and vomiting, common colds, allergies, infertility, insomnia, and pain.

Stand Down For Vets

Julie was honored to participate and provide acupuncture at the Stand Down For Vets event this summer. The National Coalition for Homeless Veterans(NCHV) is a leading authority on homeless veterans issues and organizes events nation-wide. NCHV (www.nchv.org) describes the Stand Down as:
“The original Stand Down for homeless veterans was modeled after the Stand Down concept used during the Vietnam War to provide a safe retreat for units returning from combat operations. At secure base camp areas, troops were able to take care of personal hygiene, get clean uniforms, enjoy warm meals, receive medical and dental care, mail and receive letters, and enjoy the camaraderie of friends in a safe environment. Stand Down afforded battle-weary soldiers the opportunity to renew their spirit, health and overall sense of well-being.

That is the purpose of the Stand Down for homeless veterans, and achieving those objectives requires a wide range of support services and time. The program is successful because it brings these services to one location, making them more accessible to homeless veterans.”
