Robert Downey Jr.
“Truth be told, every discipline that I have employed that has its roots in the Chinese tradition has worked, and that’s what I’m really drawn to, it’s the way is the way is the way, and when things work, they are really worth putting your time and energy behind”
Robert Downey Jr. credits his last 20 years of good health to Traditional Chinese Medicine. He promotes and believes in it so much, he was awarded the Robert Graham Visionary Award in 2012. He believes it has truly made him a better person, father, and husband.
Sandra Bullock
We all know Sandra Bullock doesn’t seem to age… like AT ALL. She’s 54 years old and still looks as amazing as ever. She gets acupuncture treatments 3 times a week and even requires acupuncture on set, which she will not sign a contract without that being on there as a contractual perk.
Natalie Portman
“I do yoga sometimes, but not regularly any more. And I also get acupuncture and a massage when I’m feeling stressed.”
Natalie Portman told Marie Claire magazine that she uses acupuncture treatment to combat stress. She has also used acupuncture to help with fertility and even uses it to supplement her exercise routine.
Sheryl Crow
“In fact, it was my surgical oncologist who recommended I check out the Tao of Wellness, where I supported my treatment with acupuncture as well as herbal teas. The idea is to fortify the immune system. I say why not?”
Cheryl Crow was diagnosed in 2006 with breast cancer. Luckily, it was caught early. But she wanted to make sure that treatment was going to work. She completed 7 weeks of radiation in combination with acupuncture and herbal teas.
Elle Macpherson
“I do choose to look after my body from a Chinese medicine perspective, which promotes and maintains wellness rather than treats illness.”
Elle Macpherson is a supermodel, who just like Jennifer Aniston and Sandra Bullock, is over 50 and still looks as beautiful as ever. What does she owe her youthful look and good health to? Acupuncture. She receives acupuncture treatments regularly and even sees a Chinese Medicine doctor who uses herbs to maintain good health.
Katy Perry
“I get a lot of the ideas when I’m resting — either when I’m meditating or getting some kind of work done on my back, like physical therapy or acupuncture. That’s where I get my best ideas, maybe because I’m balancing my body.”
Katy Perry not only uses acupuncture to help with getting the creative juices flowing, but she also complains of knee pain. She stated in an interview that her knees are giving out on her. To combat this, she receives acupuncture treatments 2-3 times a week.
Julianne Moore
“The only thing that really got me back to normal was Chinese Medicine.”
Julianne Moore went through an extremely rough time when her mother passed away.
