NAJOM - North American Journal of Oriental Medicine
NAJOM explores the theories and practices of traditional Japanese medicine, including Japanese acupuncture and moxibustion, kampo (herbology), shiatsu, anma, and do-in, which emphasize the vital role of touch in healing.
Having developed over more than a thousand years, traditional Japanese medicine is an amalgamation of numerous approaches, innovations, and interpretations. Now practiced around the world, it continues to evolve to suit the unique environment and needs of each region. NAJOM seeks to contribute to the development of Oriental medicine in North America by making more information available on traditional Japanese practices and how they are being applied today.

EYE POWER
UCL researchers discovered than just three minutes of exposure to deep red light once a week, when delivered in the morning, can significantly improve declining eyesight. In summary, researchers found there was, on average, a 17% improvement in participants’ colour contrast vision when exposed to three minutes of 670 nanometre (long wavelength) deep red light in the morning and the effects of this single exposure lasted for at least a week. Eyepower was set up with the aim of designing and developing a mass-market product that would allow individuals to take advantage of recent research in to the beneficial effects of deep red light on long term eye health.
BOEL ACUPUNCTURE
This new acupuncture treatment system was born in the late 1990s and was called Acupuncture 2000, but was subsequently changed to AcuNova to avoid confusion with Traditional Chinese Medicine. AcuNova works via the nervous system – in contrast to Chinese acupuncture, which works through the meridian/organ network. Acupuncturist John Boel discovered that there are points in and around all joints that are extremely effective in treating pain, organic diseases and incurable eye diseases.
