As a follow on from my previous post …
I personally believe we (society in the UK) have become completely reliant on the NHS especially primary care to fix us when we have not tried to fix ourselves.
There is so much sound advice … often foods we can eat, tinctures and herbs to take. This knowledge that would have been passed down from generation to generation in the past.
This knowledge, the understanding of natural medicine, Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, that has stood the test of 1000’s of years of use should be integrated into our NHS as a way to prevent ill-health as well as fix it.
Thus avoiding the use of expensive and unnecessary pharmaceuticals.
I’m not in any way ANTI Western medicine … it has its place … of course it does. Who wouldn’t want surgery to remove a tumour or drugs to assist in conceiving a pregnancy … my point is … there is more choice out there.
I run a busy clinic but it could be a lot busier if people realise it’s easy to make a few minor adjustments in lifestyle, food consumption and, in combination with acupuncture ill health and disease can be reduced and prevented in some cases. We should all be thinking about taking ownership of our own health and this may include ‘alternative’ methods such as Chinese medicine and acupuncture.
Acupuncture can be life changing … in a completely positive direction.
Book now … you won’t regret it …

I think it is fair to say that anxiety "in the air" affects us all, regardless of your political persuasion, health concerns, or economic situation. We co-vibrate. The concerns that fill our thoughts can easily perturb the sensible nature of our hearts, and one another. We feel what's going on inside our heads and squirm a bit, and the whole fabric of our world buzzes sometimes uncomfortably. To reverse that, even for a few moments of solace, put your thoughts on your heart with gratitude instead. Pause and feel the sensation of the thrumming in your chest. Lightly place your fingers on the pulse in your wrist or neck or belly and intentionally visit with appreciation this marvelous movement of life within you. Let what thoughts you may have for this moment, if any, be governed by your heart. This power to change for the better how you feel resides within you.

Please contact me at Meridian Health to experience a truly relaxing and engaging treatment which will leave you with a great sense of well-being.

There’s been a massive change and upheaval of the life we thought we would be leading right now.
This can lead to imbalances in our emotions.
Different triggers, changes in tolerance and a feeling of imbalance result.
Acupuncture as I’m sure you are aware can assist in this rebalancing and therefore enabling the mind to refocus on the new, the good, embracing change and boosting our ability to adapt.
Call Meridian to chat about how to go about moving forward with strength and courage, without fear.
