With alternating cool and warm weather our immune system can be invaded with pathogens. When the body is a less able to throw off cold or flu due to stress imposed by work,weather or life experiences,we can help with acupuncture and herbal remedies. According to the 5 element theory in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Fall season is has emphasis on the Lung and Large intestine channels and one can be more prone to illness that may affect these systems. Acupuncture can support your immune system.Your pulse diagnosis and tongue reading will indicate where imbalances are in the body that may be vulnerable. We can release pathogens and strengthen the body with acupuncture, bodywork that may incorporate Essential oils that kill germs and bacteria. I like to use essential oils that naturally counter bacteria and virus such as grapefruit, eucalyptus oil or specific respiratory blends in a carrier oil or lotion. A gentle massage with aromatherapy as part of an acupuncture session or a separate Massage Therapy treatment can relieve stress and send unwanted pathogens packing! Come in for a treatment to ward off daily stress ,work or pre-holiday related stress. Emotions correlate to the various organs , so if you are feeling sad often this may oppress the Lung and Large Intestine Channels and afflictions of these systems may show up after prolonged sadness and grief. Chinese herbal formulas can fend off allergies as well as make the body stronger unlike medications that just treat symptoms, not the root causes.
Anger and frustration may affect a woman’s’ monthly cycle and health as Liver and Gall Bladder are related with these emotions and these meridians pass through those organs.When our body’s Qi and blood are not circulating freely due to emotions that constrict,it’s like when water builds up against a dam and wants to push over it but is stuck with pressure mounting! Emotions are re-directed and soothed with the use of acupuncture, massage,essential oils, training in EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and breathing exercises from yoga.
Similar to yoga but from China are these martial art like movements for healing called “Qi Gong “exercises that are very slow and gentle and can open the body to deeper levels of healing.There are ,many ways to heal and Harmony & Health is here to serve you to better health and happiness naturally.
