Enhancing the Immune System
Oriental Medicine has been used for centuries to help improve digestive function, sleep and mental clarity, reduce stress, anxiety, food cravings and other habitual unhealthy habits. Improvements in the areas listed above have been found to enhance immune function. The healthier all of the other systems in the body are, the more effective the immune system will be in the innate (non-specific first line defense of foreign pathogens entering the body) and the adaptive (stronger, immunologic memory antigen producing) responses. Acupuncture can Improve the circulation of Qi (life supporting energy) and blood which supports all the systems in the body. The Immune System resides in the Qi and blood and benefits directly from the increased circulation.
For acute, sudden onset problems including injury, musculoskeletal pain, seasonal allergies, flu and colds, and recovering from surgery, Lorie utilizes a variety of therapies to address these conditions. Experience Zero Balancing for musculo-skeletal problems. Allergies, colds and flu symptoms can be treated with Chinese herbs, acupressure or craniosacral therapy.
Acute stress impacts your physical and emotional well-being far more than you realize and, like many conditions, if left untreated can turn into a chronic, debilitating problem. Find out how Acupuncture or Seva Stress Release can help you deal with your day to day stressors.
Solutions for Chronic Pain & Disease
Chronic disease and pain require multi-dimensional approaches to get to the ‘root cause' of the issue. Initially the focus is on your primary complaint but ultimately the solution may lie in physical, psychosocial and/or spiritual therapies. All modalities have demonstrated successful outcomes, but a coordinated, multi-dimensional approach is often needed to resolve long term health challenges; these include Auricular Acupuncture, SomatoEmotional Release, and Zero Balancing.
