Gwyneth Paltrow & acupuncture.

I am not one to typically follow celebrity gossip, but when it comes to things involving my profession, my ears perk up. The exposure is great. A few years ago Gwyneth Paltrow made the New York papers because she was sporting cupping marks. Recently, she had her second child, and suffered from postpartum depression which can be crippling. She did not experience this condition after the birth of her first child, and she credits regular acupuncture & massage sessions for preventing that. From the New York Daily News today...

"...she said she felt fine after she and husband Chris Martin, lead singer of the British band Coldplay, had their daughter Apple four years ago. She credits morning massages and acupuncture treatments to her good mood then, and she's begun making some life changes to lift her spirits now. "I do think its important for mothers to take some time for themselves," she said.

With her second pregnancy, she scaled back on her acupuncture treatments and experienced postpartum depression. The whole story will be covered in an interview with her in the May '08 issue of Vogue.
