Denver, CO, June 22, 2009 – Martha Lucas, Ph.D., L.Ac., Denver-based acupuncturist and practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), has authored "Vanity Calamity: Your Guide to Cosmetic Acupuncture for Anti-aging" The announcement is made by Dr. Lucas who says, "Vanity Calamity tells the history of vanity and what women have been willing to do to look younger or more beautiful. Now there's a healthy, safe option - Cosmetic Acupuncture. My new book, now available for purchase at Amazon.com, shares how to look young naturally, including foods that nourish the skin"
As a practitioner of TCM, Dr. Lucas has seen the negative side effects that can occur through use of modern techniques for looking younger. "I've seen a patient whose face was still numb two years after a surgical facelift, a neck burned by a laser treatment, a young mother who was upset that she couldn't make facial expressions after receiving Botox® injections, and a woman whose skin had hyper-pigmentation after a 'natural' peel," Dr. Lucas explains. "In turn, I decided the general public needed more information about the natural option called Cosmetic Acupuncture – hence my new book"
Cosmetic Acupuncture is a technique that reduces lines, wrinkles, and sagging by using the principles of TCM in the form of Acupuncture treatments. Additionally, patients are taught why wrinkles happen, why they may be aging prematurely, and how to start living an anti-aging lifestyle. In the chapter, The History of Vanity, Dr. Lucas reminds us that women have been using a wide variety of techniques to look younger for centuries, including some that weren't very good for their health. She sees this pattern continuing in the present. Dr. Lucas says, "Our search for youth and beauty seems endless. Women have gladly gone under the knife, been suctioned, injected, chemically peeled, implanted, dyed, and more to fill our need to look younger"
Vanity Calamity is full of information that people need to know about how to use natural medicine to look younger and feel more vibrant. According to Dr. Lucas, "we have forgotten the importance of our natural beauty and that it can often be achieved through the use of natural means" Vanity Calamity includes information on the history of vanity, how Chinese Medicine looks at beauty, sections on how foods and vitamins can improve skin, QiGong exercises for the face, and chapters that explain what Cosmetic Acupuncture is, how it works, and who may benefit from it.
An internationally known instructor, Dr. Lucas leads seminars for TCM practitioners about both Cosmetic Acupuncture and Pulse Diagnosis theory. In her seminars, Dr. Lucas teaches practitioners how to use Cosmetic Acupuncture to help their patients stay young looking and energetically vibrant. She teaches acupuncture protocols and supporting information that are used to reduce the visible signs of aging on the face and neck as well as abdominal acupuncture for weight loss and abdominal toning.

In addition to Vanity Calamity, Dr. Lucas has recently re-released her meditation CD, QiGong Meditations for Life: Basic Maintenance. The CD is a powerful guided meditation that helps people balance their own Qi; it is energetic self care. Her patients use it to relieve pain, sleep better, reduce anxiety and mild depression, and more. Visit http://www.acupuncturewoman.com/cd.html
