Quick Tips to Keep You Stress Free

Quick Tips On How You Can Release Stress And Feel Your Best:

Go for a brisk walk, be sure to exercise regularly at least 3-5 times per week. As a plus, you can rub peppermint essential oil onto your temples, or rub into sore muscles before or after exercise.
Get Adequate fresh air and sunshine, at least 15-20 minutes per day. Just for your information extra virgin coconut oil has natural SPF properties of 10, and lavender is a wonderful oil to blend with it for added soothing sensation to the skin. Not mention lavender naturally helps ease feelings of tension.
Take time each day for meditation at least 5-10 minutes. Try yoga, or Tai-Chi. Great essential oils to diffuse in the air or rub onto your temples and third eye (center between eyebrows) is arborvitae and frankincense.
Start each day with gratitude and positive affirmations. Lemon essential oil may help stop the negative self-talk. Lemon oil is uplifting to the mind, and when applied on the base of the skull gives a sense of courage and hope.
Use a daily planner to stay organized and on track. This helps minimize overload, and feeling overwhelmed. Many people are turning back to a written planner that allows you to plan both personal and work priorities. Examples of planners are The Law of Attraction Planner or Passion Planner. You might like to try peppermint, lemon, or melaleuca essential oils rubbed over the middle to outer edge of your right foot, and on the base of your skull, and temples.
Eat a healthy balanced diet. Rub diluted oregano and melaleuca oil on the bottoms of your feet for a cleansing feeling, and ginger and peppermint oil over your tummy to support digestion.
Acupuncture and cupping can help to keep your Qi-energy balanced, improve circulation, balance hormones, and reduce stressful feelings. Treatments are designed to build upon the next with a cumulative effect. Each treatment is created with you in mind to help you move from where you are right now to where you’d like to be.

Acupuncture for Addiction

Addiction is defined as the compulsive physiological need for and use of a habit-forming substance, which means addiction can come in a lot of different forms.

Does Your Liver Need a Spring Tune-Up?

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, each season is ruled by a particular organ system and spring is connected to the liver. What does this mean? Well, you probably notice changes in the way you feel, both physically and mentally, as the seasons change. I know I tend to feel a bit more contemplative and introspective during the winter months. Once spring hits, I’m ready to recharge and get things done. The liver energy is strong and assertive, the type of energy you need to create plans and then propel them into motion. However, if your liver is a little out of balance, you might notice you are more irritable or on edge than usual. Here are a few signs that your liver is in need of an acupuncture tune-up: continue reading »

I needed relief from chronic pain in my back, hips, and sciatic nerve. I have had these problems for a number of years. My doctors used physical therapy, and pain medication. I can no longer take anti-inflammatory medication. My acupuncture treatments have helped a lot. I can now relax, and I feel almost pain free. It has helped my attitude also. My activities have improved. Michele is a wonderful person, caring, compassionate, and an excellent acupuncture therapist!

After two back surgeries, I was still having a great deal of pain. A friend told me acupuncture helped him with shoulder pain. I was a little skeptical but decided to give it a try.

A letter as copied to her doctor: Ms. Michele Arnold has been working with me since I begun experiencing hot flashes and has been able to manage them for me. I know it works because I took a five week hiatus from acupuncture treatments and experienced hot flashes so severe that I actually did not want to live. With four treatments I was back to feeling great with only a very occasional minimal hot flash. Acupuncture is relaxing and uplifting.

Acupuncture has helped relieve so many symptoms, its hard to list them all. I have MS (multiple sclerosis) and acupuncture has helped with my vision, balance, and overall energy level. It also completely addressed the pain from a torn shoulder rotator cuff. Thank you Michele!
