 Love Your Liver Chances are, your life or the life of someone you know, has been affected by hepatitis.
What is hepatitis?
Hepatitis simply means liver inflammation. There are many kinds of hepatitis such as: autoimmune, drug induced (Tylenol is a common drug that in excess can cause hepatitis), alcoholic, fatty liver and viral (such as hepatitis A, B, C, D, E, F). Viral hepatitis is a wold-wide epidemic. One in 10 people have hepatitis B in China. According to the American Liver Foundation, there are over 5 million Americans living with hepatitis C, and most of them don’t know it. Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is also incredibly common. It can be a complication of viral hepatitis and/or associated with heart disease and diabetes. Contrary to what you may have heard, Oriental medicine (YES, INCLUDING HERBS) can be incredibly helpful to people afflicted with hepatitis. Continued reading >
Do you have abdominal pain, indigestion, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, gas, nausea and fatigue? You are not alone! Digestive problems are incredibly common. Unfortunately, many people suffering from these symptoms:
1. Don’t realize how many of their friends, family and co-workers struggle with the same problems

Digestive disorders range from hemorrhoids to “heart burn” to loss of appetite, and everything in between. One common Western diagnosis given to people with chronic diarrhea, constipation or abdominal pain is Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). This complex disorder that afflicts up to 20% of the world’s population! You may have heard IBS be referred to as an “incurable disease” by your physician. Continued reading >
“I can’t begin to explain how wonderful I feel after completing the Liver Detox Program with Dr. Maureen Rozenn. I’ve been on a long journey trying to become a healthier person and  really felt I’d come a long way – but I actually didn’t realize how crappy I was still feeling until I started to feel so much better!! The program is so simple and Dr. Rozenn tailors it to each patient’s specific needs. The actual plan requires a 3 week commitment and includes a weekly acupuncture with Dr. Rozenn…I’ve never experienced something like this before and, for me, it has resulted in some significant lifestyle changes. To be honest, I finished my 3 weeks but have now modified it so that I can continue following it for a few more. I highly, highly, recommend Dr. Rozenn and Endless Possibilities Acupuncture.” Deborah N.–Scotts Valley
The Detoxification Program is back! Spring is in the air. Can you feel it? Going with the flow of the seasons, now is the time to do your internal spring cleaning! Spring is the season of the liver organ system in Oriental Medicine, thus it is the perfect time to cleanse and nourish your liver.

It is important to educate the public on this condition because it is so prevalent world wide. It is generally acknowledged that an estimated 10% of all women during their reproductive years are affected by endometriosis. This is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus is found elsewhere in the body, which can lead to extreme pain and reproductive complications.
The following is an excerpt from my book: Your Fertility Program:
The most common signs and symptoms of endometriosis include:
- Painful periods
- Intense cramping may start 1-2 days prior to menstruation and can be so severe that it causes vomiting, diarrhea and fainting.
- Pain at the end of or just AFTER menses
- Irregular cycles
- Annovulatory cycles
- Premenstrual spotting
- Painful intercourse

After completing my BA, I looked at MS programs in Acupuncture , Traditional Chinese Medicine and Oriental Medicine all over the country. I was young, without ties to a community, and was open to moving anywhere. I chose to attend Five Branches University because out of all of my prospective schools, that one was strongest in Women’s Health, because of Sharon Feng. I came to Santa Cruz knowing I wanted to focus on gynecology, long before it was commonplace for acupuncturists to claim a specialty. I came here to study with Dr. Feng.
My first clinical class was with Sharon. It was my first day, and she scared the hell out of me. This tiny Continued reading >

 Chinese Medical theory holds that the body is not separate from the mind. Thus, emotional and psychological pain is treated no differently than physical pain. Prolonged physical pain can make someone depressed, while emotional turmoil can manifest physically.
The first time I saw this clearly was when I was a Masters student. I had a patient with wrist pain that I could not budge! I tried everything, every herbal and acupuncture treatment I could think of and still, the pain remained unchanged. At that point I referred him to one of my teachers. I was fortunate enough to be able to observe the office visit and acupuncture treatment. She asked him a very important question which had never occurred to me to ask, Continued reading >

 What is functional medicine? This question always makes me laugh. It implies that those who do not profess to practice “functional medicine” by default, practice “dysfunctional medicine”. But that little joke aside, Functional Medicine refers to a way of incorporating sophisticated Western diagnostics with natural therapeutics such as Western herbs, diet and nutritional supplementation. Functional Medicine also denotes a deeper understanding of how different organ systems relate to each other. For example, sub-par thyroid function can cause increased cholesterol and infertility, even if commonly ordered blood tests show the thyroid hormones to be in the normal range.
As a doctor who practices Functional Medicine, a key aspect of my practice is incorporating Western laboratory results and imaging reports with Western and Chinese herbal therapy, Western and Eastern dietary guidelines, nutritional supplements and acupuncture treatments.
Two somewhat modern health problems that benefit greatly from a Functional Medicine approach are thyroid and adrenal disorders. Our thyroid glands are easily damaged by toxins and our environment is FILLED with toxins in an unprecedented way in human history. Our adrenal glands Continued reading >

Nothing makes me happier than following up with a patient who became pregnant under my care. For example, yesterday Isaw a patient who I haven’t seen since her first trimester. Now she is in her 36th week. She wrote of her experience during her first trimester:
I am research scientist, and I have always been a little skeptical about acupuncture and other non-western medical practices. After my experience with Dr. Rozenn, however, I enthusiastically recommend her for the treatment of fertility issues. My husband and I were trying to conceive for the second time and after a year, we saw an M.D. specialist in infertility. He explained that Western medicine had no easy answer for my particular issue (my cycles were short and he suspected I was ovulating before my eggs were mature), and recommended that I try meditation or yoga as a first strategy. He also mentioned that there was a program available that combined standard infertility treatment with acupuncture. After talking to a friend of mine (who recommended Dr. Rozenn), I decided to try acupuncture alone for three months and then reassess my options. Dr. Rozenn was willing to work with me either with or without parallel treatment from my M.D. and Continued reading >
 The following is a particularly eloquent email one of my patients sent me before she made her first appointment. Like many women with PCOS, hers was a trying path to pregnancy. However, with the right combination of Chinese and Western medicine, she was able to conceive and have a healthy pregnancy. To the left is a picture of her beautiful baby girl.
This is an excellent example of the type of inquiries I get weekly. The following excerpt of our communication is posted with her permission and request to remain anonymous. Her email is in italics and my response is bolded.
Hello, I am searching for a practitioner with knowledge, patience, and a history of success in treating women with PCOS. Continued reading >

- Painful Periods
- Male and Female Infertility
- Digestive Problems/Inability to Loose Weight
- Physical & Emotional Detoxification
 Chi Nei Tsang is an ancient form of abdominal massage that blends Chinese and Thai massage techniques to transform the energy of the internal organs, and maintain radiant health. The Taoist sages of ancient China observed that our abdomen is the center of the body’s vital functions and when obstructed, the circulation to internal organs suffers. We can develop blockages from negative emotions, overwork, stress, accidents, surgery, drugs, toxins, poor food, and bad posture. These blockages can cause physical tangling and knotting of the nerves, blood vessels, and lymph nodes. The result is the gradual obstruction of energy circulation, which may lead to any number of maladies including, but not limited to: indigestion, Continued reading >
