Wow.� These days, life is hectic and filled with fear, anxiety and grief for so many of us.� Just as we were coming back to life from the pandemic, the world seems to have exploded and we find ourselves connected to the news and reading heartbreaking stories nonstop.� This practice has a detrimental effect on our nervous systems.� Each person manages stress and grief in different ways and it can manifest as insomnia, headaches, irritability, depression and withdrawal.� First, we want to send love and peace to you and those you love.� Next, let acupuncture be a part of your self preservation.
In Chinese medical theory, there is no separation between the body and spirit and therefore relaxing the body is equally tied to relaxing the heart. �Acupuncture has a strong effect on the nervous system and can help in this process of relaxation.� Ear acupuncture is used for this goal, specifically the NADA (National Acupuncture Detoxification Association) protocol.� In addition to traditional acupuncture, the NADA protocol has a strong effect on the nervous system and really helps to calm the body.� Per the NADA website, the protocol has been proven to: �increase calmness and lead to better sleep, reduce agitation, provide relief from stress and emotional trauma and promotes a discovery of inner quiet and strength�.� Its easy to feel helpless and lost in the chaos but acupuncture can be a great anchor and help you through a difficult time.
