Acupuncture

Acupuncture has become widely accepted in the United States and has been endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO ) and the National Institute of Health (NIH).  Acupuncture is scientifically recognized as effective in the treatment of over 50 common diseases including: headaches, allergies, back pain, chronic fatigue, digestive ailments, infertility, gynecological conditions, addictions, hypertension, joint pain, asthma, chronic illness and stress.  However, you need not have any symptoms to benefit from acupuncture.  You can also prevent illness, experience well-being and improve your current state of health through treatment.

Reiki

Reiki is a gentle yet powerful form of healing energy that brings us back into balance physically and emotionally.   When we are in greater balance, our system runs better – we sleep and digest better, have better immunity, experience less pain and are more resilient to stress.  People routinely report feeling calmer and refreshed after a Reiki session.

Reiki has been practiced for almost a century and has grown widely in popularity.  For example, in 2007, 15% of American hospitals offered Reiki as part of hospital services (American Hospital Association).  The demand for Reiki continues to grow from patients, nurses and doctors who report that “Reiki reduces stress, decreases the amount of pain medication required, improves sleep and appetite, and accelerates the healing process.” (Center for Reiki Research).

Massage Therapy

Massage is one of the oldest healing arts: Chinese records dating back 3,000 years document its use; the ancient Hindus, Persians and Egyptians applied forms of massage for many ailments; and Hippocrates wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems. Today, the benefits are varied and far-reaching. As an accepted part of many physical rehabilitation programs, massage therapy has also proven beneficial for many chronic conditions, including low back pain, arthritis, bursitis, fatigue, high blood pressure, diabetes, immunity suppression, infertility, smoking cessation, depression, and more. And, as many millions will attest, massage also helps relieve the stress and tension of everyday living that can lead to disease and illness.
