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. 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 out 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.”
An internationally known instructor, Dr. Lucas leads seminars for TCM practitioners about both Cosmetic
Acupuncture and Pulse Diagnosis theory. For more information visit: http://www.cosmeticacupunctureseminars.com or http://www.pulseseminars.com

for Life: Basic Maintenance. The CD is a powerful guided meditation that helps people balance their own Qi; it is energetic
self care. Visit http://www.acupuncturewoman.com/cd.html
