Welcome to KITADE Wellness Center Blog!!

Our body is constantly trying to recover from daily stress and prevent exterior pathogens from entering, which can lead to serious complications. Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine assists the natural healing capacity we all originally possess and helps to improve the condition from the inside.

Through this blog, I would like to introduce benefits of acupuncture treatments and provide you with helpful tips that you can do at home to live healthier lifestyle. Please also visit Alex's Log to read about my recent activities to get to know me even better!

Golf @ Davenport

Every three months or so, golf competition is held for

the Japanese people living in the Central Florida

The weather was perfect and green condition couldn't be better!


But... My score...... Don't even ask

I think I got 14th place out of 33 contestants, but that's thanks to

the handicap I recieved... No more question please, because I'm not

telling anyone my gross score is


Ohhh, I can feel every muscle in the body ache.

I'm ready for an acupuncture treatment and a nice nap

Hyperthyroidism

Hyperthyroidism can be described as signs and

symptoms associated with an over production of thyroid hormone.


Originally, our body creates just the right amount of hormones,

T4 and T3, which have important actions to regulate many aspects

of our metabolism. These hormones have direct effects on our

organs, including the heart which beats faster and harder under

the influence of thyroid hormones. As a result, cells in the body

responds to elevated levels of thyroid hormone with increased

rate at which they conduct its function.



Common symptoms and signs of hyperthyroidism is:

・Palpitations
・Insomnia
・Heat intolerance
・Nervousness
・Shortness of breath
・Fatigue
・Weight loss
・Muscle weakness
・Increased heart rate
・Staring gaze



Nutritional changes consuming plenty of the following foods are important:

-Vegitables: Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, Cabbage,
Cauliflower, Kale, Mustard greens, Spinach, Turnips.


-Fruits: Peaches, Pears.



At KITADE Wellness Center we provide very

effective Acupuncture and Herbal treatments plan to patients

Orlando area. Our patients notice dramatic improvement within

one to one-and-a-half months of acupuncture and herbal treatment.

Most symptoms should subside within three to six months

Shingles / Herpes Zoster

In western medicine, Shingles / Herpes Zoster,

is considered as a viral infection with an acute inflammation of

the sensory ganglia of spinal and cranial nerves associated with

a vesicular eruption and neuralgic pain. There is no know specific

treatment in western medicine at the moment. Nonetheless,

certain drugs can be used to treat the symptoms. Wet compresses

can be applied to soothe the skin topically or Aspirin are seldom

used to relieve pain and Antiviral drugs are recommended only in

individuals with weakened immune systems, such as geriatric and

pediatric patients.


In short, these drugs are used only to relieve symptoms, but is not

inteded to change the course of infection.


On the otherhand, in Oriental Medicine, Herbs are very

effective remedy to treat the cause and the symptoms of shingles.

Herbs have been shown to effectively treat viral infections by

reducing its severity and duration. Many herbs have excellent

analgesic effect to relieve pain and anti-inflammatory effect to

reduce inflammation often associated with singles and Herpes

complex. Herbs offer excellent short and longterm relief.


Nutritional maintenance is essential for preventing, fighting, and

healing process in shingles. Please see below to include the

following in your diet.


Vitamin and Minerals: Garlic, L-lysine, calcium,
magnesium, and vitamins A, B, C, and E.


Food Source: Brewer’s yeast, brown rice, garlic,
raw fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and foods rich
in vitamins.


Food to Avoid: Spicy, fried or greasy, high in
L-carnitine (peanuts, chocolate, and corn), shellfish, seafood.


Acupuncture in conjunction with Herbal Therapy is

highly recomended and very effective in treating Singles and

Herpes Zoster
