Pain & Discomfort: Physical or Emotional

Pain & Discomfort: Physical or Emotional

We all experience our own version of pain & discomfort. Pain comes in many different forms, whether it is physical or emotional. I always add the word discomfort when talking about pain, because a lot of what we experience isn’t what we would consider “real” pain. It can be lots of things; an ache, soreness, stiffness, tenderness, swelling, tingling, numbness. It can be constant or occasional, mild or severe, a physical irritation or emotional distress such as grief, anxiety or depression. Pain can be your body’s way of warning you that something is wrong. Living with any type of pain can

Gua Sha Therapy Guide

Gua Sha Therapy Guide

Gua Sha (pronunced Gwah Shaw or Gwah Saw) , is an ancient manual medical technique that uses a tool to scrape the skin, muscle & fascia for the purpose of loosening adhesions or stagnation, relieving muscle tension & promoting normal circulation to these tissues.

The word Gua translates to Scraping & the word Sha to the Markings that appear.

Your Neck will Catch Cold Grandma used to drive me crazy in the winter season, always insisting I wear a scarf outside or catch a cold. As a matter of fact, there is something to that. Chinese medicine teaches us there is a spot on the back of our necks which is capable of absorbing wind and cold. Once absorbed, it can take hold in your system

How many Acupuncture treatments will I need?

How many Acupuncture treatments will I need?

What to expect from your acupuncture therapy – How many treatments will I need? It’s hard to predict upfront how many treatments a person will need to see a significant improvement in the symptoms/issues that they are seeking acupuncture for. This is because everyone is an individual and has their own chemistry, wiring, and make-up that you can’t be certain how quickly they will respond to acupuncture. It also depends on the severity and chronicity of the symptoms they are experiencing. Acupuncture treatment is cumulative.  The acupuncture treatments build upon each other and the state of balance at the time
