It’s rare disease awareness day! The rarest day of the year, 2/29! There are more than 7000 rare diseases out there and one out of every ten people have them. Many if not most are genetic. Some begin at birth and some appear later in life. Just because you dont see it doesn’t mean it doesnt exist. Lets stop gaslighting people and create more awareness. 🦄 #rarediseaseawareness #rarediseaseday #nord #primaryimmunodeficiency #pi #cvid #churgstrauss #vasculitis #autoimmunedisease #angioedema #spooniesoftiktok #spoonie #raredisease #rarediseaseday #lightupforrare #showyourrare #shareyourcolors #integrativemedicine #chinesemedicine #makeitvisible Rare Disease Day

2 acupressure points to bring your energy up, perfect for a Monday or any time. •If you get the sleepiest during the day or just find yourself dragging I’ve got two points for you!•The first, Du20. Take your hands with the thumb side down at your ears and point your index finders to the top of your head. There you will find a divot. Gently massage. Du 20 literally raises energy in the body. It helps with all types of prolapse, prevention of miscarriages, loss of consciousness, depression, and the big D. It also helps clear the mind. I used to study with this point all the time in acupuncture school. •Next R17, : find the nipple line on your chest and bisect it with your midline. (My jacket is asymmetrical)Gently rub this point. It may feel sore. Not to worry, it’s a powerhouse 💥This point regulates energy of the body and keeps it going the correct way! It also helps calm the spirit, helps with indigestion and anxiety. •Both these points help keep you going and calm!What a perfect point combination 💥I hope you can use these when you need a boost 🚀❌⭕️,Dr. T#fatigue #prolapse #heartcentered #integrativemedicine

Facial acupuncture is way more than beauty. It is a powerful tool for patients who have had strokes, Bell’s Palsy and Ramsey Hunt syndrome. •Western medicine has few to no options treating this condition but this is where acupuncture has many answers to balance the face and help patients regain a sense of confidence. •This is my patient L who achieved great success after 2 months of treatment!•Did you know that acupuncture isn't just about relaxation? It's a game-changer for Bell's Palsy, Ramsey Hunt Syndrome, and facial strokes. Here's the scoop:•Bell's Palsy: Acupuncture targets specific points to stimulate blood flow and nerve regeneration. This can speed up recovery and improve facial muscle function. By targeting specific points, it helps rebalance facial muscles, smoothing out asymmetry and enhancing facial harmony during the recovery journey.•Ramsey Hunt Syndrome: When facial nerves go haywire, acupuncture steps in to restore equilibrium. By promoting nerve healing and reducing inflammation, it supports the return to a balanced, natural look.•Facial Strokes: Acupuncture's art lies in its ability to aid rehabilitation. It helps reestablish symmetry by stimulating circulation and nerve connectivity, paving the way for facial balance and grace. By enhancing blood circulation and nerve connectivity, it aids in regaining facial movement.•Beyond treatment, acupuncture is a holistic approach to facial wellness. It's not just about individual muscles; it's about the symphony they create together. If you're seeking facial balance or know someone who could benefit, reach out! You do not have to suffer with facial asymmetry.•Photo ©️Dr. Elizabeth Trattner, 2023 Do not reproduce without permission. #strokerecovery #facialparalysis #Ramseyhuntsyndrome #ramseyhunt #bellspalsy #miamiacupuncture #acupuncture #beforeandafter
Hey there, lovelies!•Today, let’s dive into some hacks to tackle PMS 💥beyond the usual suspects. Acupuncture’s awesome, but let’s explore more!Mindful Movement: Yoga or gentle exercises can work wonders. Stretch it out, release those tension knots, and boost those happy hormones!Smart Snacking: Munch on magnesium-rich snacks like nuts or dark chocolate to ease those mood swings and cravings.Tech Break: Step away from screens! Engage in relaxing activities like reading, painting, or simply chilling with some calming music.Sleep Sanctuary: Prioritize sleep! Create a cozy environment, maybe indulge in a warm bath before bed—let’s invite those ZZZs in.Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Load up on foods rich in omega-3s like salmon, flaxseeds, or walnuts. They help reduce inflammation and might ease menstrual discomfort.Aromatherapy: Essential oils like lavender, clary sage, or chamomile can be calming. Diffuse them, add a few drops to your bath, or use a rollerball for a quick mood lift.Supplement Support: Consider supplements like evening primrose oil or vitamin B6 after consulting with a healthcare professional. They might help balance hormones and alleviate symptoms.Heat Therapy: Apply a heating pad or take a warm bath to relax muscles and ease cramps. Heat can be a game-changer for PMS discomfort.Cut Down on Caffeine and Alcohol: Both can worsen PMS symptoms. Opt for herbal teas or mocktails during this time to give your body a break.Mood Journaling: Track your symptoms and emotions. Understanding patterns can help you prepare and manage symptoms better in the future.Mindfulness and Breathing Exercises: Practice mindfulness or deep breathing techniques to reduce stress and anxiety. Apps like Headspace or Calm can guide you through quick sessions.Remember, these tips are about finding what feels right for your body.

Good morning Miami! 🌨️☂️🌬️Don’t you love when the weather changes for the worse ,whether it’s rain, wind, cloudy or all of the above? That’s because our barometric pressure is falling and for the last few days many of my patients have felt bad especially with headaches and sinus headaches. •What I see in the clinic is sinus pressure, headaches and malaise. It’s so bad out there I have a 400 pound umbrella in my pool from the wind and rain so imagine what this weather is doing to your insides, especially if your sensitive to the barometric pressure changing!•The good news with bad weather is you can feel better with acupressure at home or wherever you feel yuck.🤢•Here are my top acupressure points for headaches and sinus pressure when the weather is changing:.UB2, take your pointer finger at the end of the inside brow. Find the digit and gently push. The helps the frontal sinuses drain and any eye issues.•Yintang: this is located right between your brows in a small dip. This is excellent to quiet your mind and feel emotionally better. •LI20: right at the end of the nostril you will find a large hole. I love this for any maxillary sinus issues , runny or clogged noses or allergies. This combined with UB2 can pop the sinuses open.•Lastly, LI4. This superstar point is located off the bone from the second finger in between the thumb and forefinger. It’s the command point of the face, helps with pain and an overall wellness point. •Acupressure is excellent self care when you can’t make it in to see me. It’s effective easy self care to do whatever the weather has in store for you!•Let me know in the comments if you’ve tried this💦🩵🌨️Lots of love,Dr. T🤗💛 #acupressure #selfcareroutine #sinusrelief #sinusitis #congestion #migraines #HeadacheRelief #GenX
Hello beautiful souls. Today I am going to share 2 acupressure points to help with grief and suffering. ❤️🩹😔•Lung 7 can help balance the energy flow in the body, which can improve emotional well-being. Some studies have shown that acupuncture can be an effective treatment for anxiety and depression, and Lu7 is often included in acupuncture protocols for these conditionsIt also treats psychological and emotional issues, especially these caused by grief, sadness or worry. LU-7 helps to settle the Corporeal Soul housed in the Lungs and calms the mind housed in the heart therefore the chest is opened and tension is released. Although LU-7 is also able to direct energy up to the Heart and head to treat poor memory, palpitations, and crying.Lung 1. This point helps in the process of letting go. It’s thought to disperse energy, help to release emotions, and expand lung capacity to deliver more oxygen around the body. * eases and calms grief * helps to move through the tears of grief * allows one to take in praise and respect* Revival of a sense of self worth* Revives connection to Self/Spirit* Brings inspiration* Restores a sense of higher purpose* Restores a feeling of beauty in the world•Sit in a quiet space, and find both points. Massage each point for a minute of so on each side. Take deep breaths and let the emotions flow out of you. •Sending you all love and compassion. Dr. T🩷 #acupressure #grief #sadness #compassion #languishing #selfcarejourney
Acupressure for stress and trauma. •1. Yin tang or your third eye. Gently run the small divot between your brows. This helps calm Shen or your spirit. This point opens the 3rd eye and 6th chakra. •2. Ren 17. Sea of tranquility. This is a powerful acupoint to open the chest. I tend to use it when a person has a heavy heart, sadness or perhaps holds tension in their chest due to anxiety. If you find person your self holding their breath. This point calms fear and anxiety. It also opens the heart chakra. .Lastly Kidney 27. Spread your thumb and middle finger. Place right under the clavicle. You will feel this point sore many times. This point helps your Kidney system and fear/anxiety levels back into balance. It is also helps with trauma. •Use these points on you and your loved ones. Do not press to hard. You can do this whenever you need to decompress.•Self care is healing. Especially now🩷 #acupressure #selfcarejourney #selflove #selfcareroutine #anxietysupport #traumasupport
What happens to your body during a Hurricane?It’s that time of the year again when we have hurricanes in Florida. If you’re wondering why you don’t feel so great it’s because our barometric pressure is dropping significantly which happens during a severe weather system. That a lot with a full moon our tides are more significant. When the barometric pressure, measured in millibars drops, we can feel:TiredSickAsthma and allergies are worseSo are all autoimmune issues like rheumatoid arthritis. •After a system passes, and hopefully with the least damage as possible, we get a high pressure system and you will feel much better. •Be safe Florida and stay well.

How to stay healthy as kids go back to school•It’s that time of year again.Summer is over and our children are returning to classes and before you know it, you and your kids can feel like you're sick from sitting in a dirty old bus like this.•This big change in our schedules means our kids are being exposed to germs that weaken their immune system and ours as parents.•I’ve seen over the past two decades of practice, that in the next two week I get more calls about sick kids and their parents than any other time of the year.•What can we do to boost not only our kids' immune systems but ours as well?•Here are some Doctor Mom tips that I have used to keep my families well during the entire school year.•1.Hand washing: this is the number one way to prevent disease. Send antibacterial, essential oil wipes to school with kids if they can't get to a sink with soap and water.•2.Bone broth: even though it's warm outside, bone broth packs a punch by boosting white cells to protect the immune system. You can always hide broth in rice and other whole grains instead of water.•3.Vitamin C: Not only does vitamin C help with your immune system but also helps with seasonal allergies. Fruits and veggies are great sources of Vitamin C.•4.Medicinal mushrooms: they keep the body in optimal balance all year round and help fight disease. My fave for little ones are cacao flavored medicinal mushroom drinks.•5.Sleep:it's the best medicine for everyone. Keep to a regular bedtime and wake time and make sure everyone is getting at least 8 hours. Limit technology usage late at night to optimize sleep-wake cycles.•6.Don't skip breakfast. Bars and smoothies don't get kids through 5-6 hours before it's lunchtime. Take a few extra moments to prepare a hot breakfast before school.•7.Stay active and get outdoors after school. Being in nature boosts our immune system.•8.Regular visits of acupuncture boost the immune immunity all year long.•Moms a

The benefits of being in nature during the summer and how it can help you feel your best!🌞🌊Biophilia and Immune Health are at its peak during the summertime and can boost your health in many ways. •Summertime is so special because we have the strongest ,shortest wave of the sun affecting our total body health and a increases the Vitamin D in our bodies.We naturally get to be outdoors more being in the energy of the earth ,oceans, lakes, flowers, and all the bounty of nature. •Biophilia is described as “the passionate love of life and all that is alive. Being in nature boosts immune health by exposing your body, mind, and spirit to the elements around you.Here is how being outside this summer boosts your health:•Boosts creativityBoosts immunityLowers blood pressureIncreases energy levels Increases ability to focusReduces stress and anxietyIncreases natural killer cellsImproves sleepAccelerates recovery from illnessActivates all your senses.•It’s important to touch the surfaces of plants and trees, walk and get in oceans or lakes to get the maximum benefit of nature. Grounding in nature occurs when the body encounters the Earth in its natural state. •When we have this direct contact with the Earth, by walking barefoot along the coast or going or a swim in the ocean, the negative charge of the Earth balances out our positive electrons of wifi, artificial light and emf waves.•Remember, exposure to daylight can help regulate sleep time, and increase the production of feel good hormones, which restores the body.as well.•Going outside for just 20 minutes a day, taking clean air into your lungs, and entraining yourself with nature is the perfect antidote to the madness around us.•What a beautiful time to immerse yourself in the healing power of nature. •Happy full moon today and holiday week! #summer #ImmuneHealth #saltlife #vitamind #biophilia #oceanlove

Let’s make a gem elixir or a crystal elixir. Crystal energy is not pseudo-science but proven over and over again clinically why minerals help us.•Take quartz for instance. It wasn’t that long ago the quartz helped moved all of our watches, radios computer and technology. Quartz has a piezoelectric effect, like a small battery.•Crystal infused water is water programmed with the energy of the crystals which have a dominant oscillatory rate which carries a frequency ( they have a stable vibration like sound).•Elizabeth Trattner, a licensed acupuncturist and integrative medicine practitioner, says that crystal-infused water carries the "vibration" of the stone.•“Gem elixirs are energy medicine, they have been used in TCM for thousands of years—other cultures have made gem elixirs as well.•It wasn’t too long ago that acupuncture, reiki, homeopathy, and sound therapy were all looked at as pseudoscience and now there is hard clinical evidence that these energetic medicines work.”•She encourages you to make sure the stones in your crystal-infused water aren’t toxic&don’t contain aluminum.•If you’re buying a crystal water bottle, “Be careful where the stone is from and check the adhesive used in the bottle and if the glass is leaded,”•Rather than buying a bottle with a stone that’s glued to the bottom, she recommends buying a bottle that includes a dome-shaped setting for the stone.•These bottles are expensive but make a small housing for the stones to stay sterile&the glass can be washed.•She also has a more affordable way:Purchase a vial of crystals that you can add to a water bottle yourself.•“I have patients learn to make their own where they are harnessing the energy of the sun or moonlight, their intention, and specific crystals used.This is the best way in my opinion. It is also the least toxic, least expensive, and most likely to have the greatest benefit.”•Use stones that are safe, clean, and non-toxic (quartz and
