From the Desk of Ted Ray
Happy Holidays! I hope you are enjoying your time with family and taking some much needed vacation between Christmas and New Year's. Our office will be closed for much of the holidays, but we will be open for a couple of days at the end of the year to get you ready for 2009. I recommend you call soon as there will be very limited availability.
If eating is your thing, I highly recommend you stop by to pick up some Bao He Wan or Curing Pills. They both do wonders for indigestion and overeating, though I'm sure that will never happen to you:-)
Acupuncture: Your Mini-Vacation
Personally, I think stress is overrated. It can motivate you to overcome difficult obstacles, sharpen your thinking and increase productivity. But there are times when stress can negatively affect your health as well; manifesting as irritability, stomach pain, headaches, and neck pain.
The right acupuncture treatment can bring you back into sync during these stressful times and create tangible benefits like relaxation, a normalized heart rate, and lower blood pressure. Acupuncture is also terrific at relieving muscle tension and eliminating pain. In short, it's a mini-vacation from our hectic world.
Do you need to get away from it all, even for just an hour? Schedule an appointment with Peninsula Acupuncture.
Herbal Spotlight: Avena Sativa
Trying to get those holiday cards out, shopping for presents, and preparing dauntingly large meals can take its toll. Fortunately, there’s a cure in the form of avena sativa or wild oats.
Wild oats are primarily used to ease anxiety/stress symptoms by acting as nervine relaxants. This produces both physical and emotional benefits, including greater ease in social situations and decreased stress responses.
Are you looking for a non-pharmaceutical way to calm nerves during these stressful months? Contact Peninsula Acupuncture and I’d be happy to find the right herbal supplement for you.
