How the body regulates Stress
Stress affects us all on a daily basis. Our body reacts to this negative stimulus and deals with it in three ways. There are three main forms of adaption or regulation within the body. Hyper - Inflammation or excess Rigid - A locked or stagnant state Hypo - A Deficient or depleted state These actually occur with every organ and every system in the body.

Detox Body Cleansing for your Health
Cleansing the body at an internal level is very important. We live in a very toxic world. Herbicides, petrochemicals, hydrocarbons, heavy metals, food additives and synthetic drugs can have an adverse effect on our cells, internal organs and state of health. Over 20 million pounds of antibiotics were injected into our farm animals last year alone. Insecticides and pesticides are harmful substances that cover our fruits and vegetables.
Our soils are poisoned with chemicals and pollution and are stripped of there nutrient base. Many of our foods are not supplying our bodies with the necessary nutrients-primarily minerals-to perform optimally. This nutrition deficiency is an invitation to illness and disease.
Cardiovascular, arthritis, diabetes, asthma, breast cancer, and obesity are on the rise. For the first time in history we are actually witnessing a decline in the American life-span.
Today, millions of people throughout the world cleanse on a regular basis to promote good health, giving their bodies time to rest and recover. Cleansing regularly helps your body to eliminate impurities and reduce unhealthy cravings. Cleansing also effectively helps you lose unwanted fat quickly in a safe, natural way.
Reasons to cleanse are: strengthen the immune system, clean the liver, help brain chemistry, restore antioxidants, aid digestion, rejuvenate cells, support vital organs, loose weight, build muscle, beautify the skin, balance the hormone system, increase energy and more.
We belief it is important to evaluate if a personalized cleansing program is right for you. Not only for the reasons stated above, but also to optimize your response to treatment and experience a new state of health and wellness today. For more information on cleansing, visit this site.

Healing Migraines with Acupuncture
Clinically I have found that when a person experiences the symptom of headache or migraine it is created from a under lying cause. That cause creates a vascular blood spasm, or a tension that stimulates a muscle contraction in the neck, jaw, or head.
Any acute or chronic stress can cause increased levels of cortisol the “flight or fight hormone”. This hormone in excess levels can break down body function and create inflamation including pain in the body. Some causes of stress to the body are mental and emotional upset, poor diet, allergies, infections, lack of sleep, low estrogen, toxicity, dental work, injuries, surgeries, medicines.
We take a comprehensive look at the patients cause of stress and how it is effecting there body. This is key to determining what style of acupuncture treatment would best help there body recover from a headache or migraine.
With this individualized approach the results of pain relief are increased dramatically.
Be Well…
This was sent in by one of our clients. Initially he came in due to a cough and respiratory constriction. He had been having some wheezing in his breathing and was coughing in order to help open up his airway to breath easier.
After 3 weeks of trying to get rid of this with over the counter medications and thinking it would pass, he contacted us at the Center for Health and came in for an appointment. With one acupuncture session, his breathing had instantly improved with his air passage opening up for easier breathing and his cough was gone within a day or two.
Take a look at the video.. and thanks to him for taking the time to submit this video. We appreciate it.
Be well.

Weight is not just a cosmetic issue. Being overweight is a risk factor for many conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease.

Acupuncture works to control weight on various levels. With diet changes, which can lead to binge eating. Cravings in the body are often due to a lack of endorphins. Acupuncture can help to balance out the cravings by helping the body to release endorphins.
Also there is an increase in the stress hormone cortical and it can alter the metabolism. Through the release of endorphins, the stress hormone can also be neutralized.
Acupuncture can support the body to generate an efficient digestive process, buy stimulating digestive organs to function more effectively.
Your acupuncturist will also take into consideration other factors that may have led to weight gain, including your lifestyle and the emotional and mental well-being. By taking you whole self into account, you and your acupuncturist can get to the root of your health concerns, rather than just treating the symptoms.
Based on your unique symptoms, your acupuncturist will choose to concentrate on acupuncture points related to specific organs. For example, restoring balance to the flow of Qi in the stomach can help promote good digestion and suppress an overactive appetite.
