Stress, Anxiety and Sleep Problems
Stress and anxiety are all too common in today’s fast paced, high pressured society. The human body is not designed to deal with chronic low grade stress and if not managed, physical and psychological illnesses may manifest.
One of the benefits of Acupuncture is to help regulate the central nervous system. The release of neurotransmitters and hormones leads to a feeling of relaxation and an improvement in sleep. Certain herbs may also induce a feeling of calmness, support you in times of stress, and also aid in better sleep and rest.
Fatigue and Low Immunity
Many people have reached the stage of burn out in their stressful lives. At this stage your energy levels are low or even non-existent, regardless of how much you rest and eat. Your immunity is also suffering leading to recurrent infections and colds and flu. A rebalancing of your body’s energy production system is required, Chinese Medicine calls this boosting of Qi (energy) and Blood. With sufficient Qi and Blood your body can perform at its optimal level and be able to fight off infections.
Skin Problems
Chronic and stubborn skin conditions like eczema, acne and psoriasis may respond well to a course of Chinese Medicine treatments. Chinese Medicine views the skin as a reflection of what is happening inside the body, therefore if there is an imbalance of excess toxins in the body it will come out on the skin.
When treating skin conditions we treat the root cause and internal imbalance first, herbal medicine, acupuncture and dietary therapy will be used in most cases. This may be complemented with herbal creams and lotions for topical application.
Neuro / Musculoskeletal Problems
