Stress relief

Stress! It's what you feel when your peaceful country road of life turns into a raging super highway.

You get cross, irritable and snap at people when you don't really mean to. You feel worried that you can't cope with modern demands. You experience periods of depression for no apparent reason. Your sleeping and eating habits change. You even question your own sanity and feel your life is out of control. Frustration sets in.

If you push yourself too hard or are pushed beyond your tolerance level, you're suffering stress. Stress could be the result of any one or a combination of the following problems: emotional loads and expectations, physical overwork and training, hormonal imbalances, low blood sugar (poor diet, inadequate exercise or stress related digestive disorders) or poor immune function from poor diet, lifestyle, recuring allergies and/or chronic infections.

Your body rebels. Its internal harmony gets right out of tune with reality. Organs may begin to malfunction; your memory may fail; you make poor judgements and get short-tempered, quickly and easily.

For stress-related problems, acupuncture works by stimulating the body to basically 'heal itself'. It can balance the harmony in your body, putting everything back in tune and restoring the natural balance of your mental, physical and emotional functions.

Generally, after a treatment, you'll feel much calmer, more relaxed and aware of the improvement in your sense of well being. This is part of the "making your Mondays feel like Fridays" experience. Acupuncture provides a drug free alternative to help you manage the stress of modern society. It is so simple and effective, and has been proven over thousands of years.
