I’ve been seeking health-supporting treatments from Robyn and Holistic Health & Beauty for the past several years. When I saw that Robyn had newly introduced the Mei Zan Cosmetic Acupuncture system to her healing modalities, I jumped at the chance to try it due to my faith in Robyn’s knowledge and expertise.
My only previous experience with acupuncture was a single treatment for a shoulder injury in 2012, so I was a novice. When Robyn met with me for the first (of 10) treatments, she thoroughly explained acupuncture and its possible side effects, like bruising. And out of 10 treatments, I only bruised (slightly) twice. Robyn also carries a liniment – Evil Bone Water – which clears up bruises in a matter of hours, instead of days.
The benefits I received from these treatments were much larger in scope than simply a refreshed face.
Cosmetic Benefits:
- My face is less droopy, especially around my mouth and jaw.
- I also have noticed a decrease in fine lines. My crow's feet are barely visible.
- I've also noticed my cheekbones seem to be lifted.
- My skin is clearer and more even toned.
- Generally, I feel like I look fresher in a natural way. I used Botox and fillers in the past, but after a certain age, they look fake and odd - like chipmunk cheeks or no expression around your eyes.
Physical Benefits:
- This has greatly reduced my headaches. I don't get tension headaches as badly as I did before.
- It's also improved my environmental allergies. It opened my sinuses so I don't have to use nasal spray every day anymore.
- My physical energy has improved. No more mid-afternoon energy dips.
- Also, Robin did a little work on my digestive system. I have chronic heartburn. Robyn put a few needles in my abdomen, and it made a big difference. I no longer need medication to manage heartburn during the day.
Mental/Emotional Benefits:
- I'm able to focus better. I can concentrate for longer periods of time, which is good because I'm an interior designer. We all tend to have BSOS (Bright, Shiny Object Syndrome) – finding our focus pulled by something pretty (Squirrel!!)
- Overall, I just feel happier and more relaxed.
- I have a very vivid dream imagination, but frequently my dreams would be full of negative emotions, either fear, stress, or sadness. These unpleasant emotions would wake me up in the middle of night. Now I experience more positive dreams and sleep through the night.
