Although, we can not not claim to Treat the virus Covid-19, we can treat it from a chinese Medical perspective. I have personally been treating more and more of these issues since the pandemic started. We can also help assist your body in processing the Jab, from a chinese medical perspective.
In Chinese Medicine, viruses are called evil wind or pathogenic qi, they can enter through the nose, mouth, ears and neck. I think we can all relate to that, we get a little headache, a sore throat, a runny nose, an extra ache. Covid seems to manifest in all sorts of different ways. What drew me to chinese medicine was how we look at a person's whole body/ constitution to treat them. Not everyone gets the same Treatment, we base it on your disease pattern. That is made up of various diagnostic methods. In the acupuncture discussion boards, covid is thought to be a cold virus, that manifests as chills, runny nose, body pain, even fatigue. Viruses move through different layers of the body, sometimes creating damage, that can lead to the long hauler symptoms. Acupuncture and herbs, can help to push out the virus or pathogen, and then strengthen your body to heal and help it repair faster. I am so happy to be able to assist the pandemic in this way, please contact with questions. Vitamin C, D, zinc are always a bonus for the immune system as well. We can also help strengthen your immunity without illness too! Warmly, Stefanie Rothert @ Acupuncture for Wellbeing What does your spine have to do with Pain ?In Acupuncture we work with many aspects of the body to treat pain. We work with something called Meridians, which are lines of energy that run through the body.
AND, over the years, I have found that a lot of pain originates from issues along the spine. We have something called dermatomes which are referral areas that stem from the spine. Sometimes there is nerve damage, arthritis or inflammation. That is why I always ask where the pain is exactly, and if it refers all the way down to the extremity, that can give me information on the type of possible injury. I may ask you to get more testing such as an MRI, or nerve conduction testing. I combine Meridian balancing with this structural knowledge. This way we kill birds with one stone! OR two I guess! We can help bring blood flow and release muscles around the spine to allow blood flow and to remind help the nerves work the way they should. Nerves communicate between the muscles and the brain. With Acupuncture we are re-establishing that communication, and reminding our body how to heal itself. Acupuncture is based on the body's own intelligence. If you would like to set up a free consult or time to chat about this, please let us know. Warmly Stefanie Rothert, Owner and Practitioner of Acupuncture for Wellbeing Did you know that 90% of Serotonin is made in the gut? Serotonin is on the same neural pathway as Melatonin, these two together regulate our sleep and wake cycles. Leaky gut is common, or candida overgrowths. We need a healthy balance of bacteria in our digestive tract, for absorption of food and the making of neurotransmitters. Do you? Feel foggy in the morning? Do you have bloating after eating? Do you feel heavy? Depressed? Do you clear your throat a lot? These are a few signs of a gut imbalance, along with possible sleep issues. A few EASY things to do are: - cut down on sugar (feeds the "bad"bacteria" - take dairy out for a few days to a week - take a good probiotic, we carry some or I recommend the raw probiotics by Garden of Life - take grains out for a few days to a week - make sure you exercise regularly, even 20 -30 min of walking a day - eat healthy fats, nuts, MCT oil, avocado, fish -start your day with lemon water -add greens into every meal These are simple ways to start the gut healing process without getting too extreme.

I am happy to work with anyone privately that wants to learn as well. First off, I am not a licensed Therapist, so that is my disclaimer. I have treated Anxiety and Depression for many years with Meditation, Yoga, Acupuncture, energy work and more. I have used all of these to learn to manage and regulate my own emotions and mental state. Here are some tips that I have to offer. As the seasons change, especially as we head into fall and winter, some of us can be more affected than others. Some People develop SAD, seasonal affective disorder. Here are some things I have learned, from research and experience. Towards the end of this Newsletter, I have offered some resources. 1. Try not to compare yourself to others. (maybe avoid social media if that helps). We all have our own path in life. Think of the top three things that are important to you in life, and prioritize those. Examples, Health, spending time with family, having some free time, rest, work, or whatever comes to mind. 2. Eat regularly. Make sure you have a balanced breakfast with good fats, and protein. Examples, turkey bacon, meat, nuts, salmon, avocado, veggies, eggs. Keeping our blood sugar balanced can make a HUGE difference in mood stabilization. Try to avoid to many complex carbs and alcohol. Reach out to me if you need more help with this. 3. Do things that make you feel good; music, aromatherapy, dance, hiking, a walk, binge on netflix for a day. 4. Create some nice routines for yourself, with reasonable expectations. Short workouts, for example, I often do 10 minute workouts. More times than not, I will keep going once I start. 5. MOVE; walk or workout, gentle yoga. Moving your blood moves your QI (energy) and creates endorphins that make you feel better. 6. Meditation. There are so many great resources out there that are FREE, I also love EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) tapping, it is almost like giving yourself an Acupuncture treatment. I offer private sessions of both of these, we can customize meditations just for you. This system uses tapping on Acupuncture point to help relieve stress, PTSD and more. 7. Be gentle with yourself. If you feel tired, give yourself times to rest. 8. A Gratitude journal. A tip from my friend who is a burnout coach, says if you can't feel grateful, then write down your resentments, for each one create a boundary. CREATE BOUNDARIES, It is okay to preserve your energy. Gratitude helps us shift our brain and perspective. 9. Acupuncture! For one, take time to take care of yourself! Two, Acupuncture helps balance our brains and bodies, it helps to heal the Mind/Body Connection, getting your neural pathways flowing. We want to re-pattern ourselves for Optimal Health, and over time Acupuncture returns us to that state of vitality and health. 10. Make time for things you enJOY. Joy is amazing, it gets us into the more evolved part of our brains, actually helping us to see solutions and be creative. AND, who doesn't want some joy? What do you truly enjoy? 11. ASK FOR HELP. You do not have to do it alone! There are many great practitioners and groups that can help you. As humans, I do not believe that we were not meant to do it alone. A lot of the rise in Mental Health issues can be traced to a lot less community and more social isolation. |
