"…there have been many studies investigating the role of stress on immune system function. These studies have shown that stress mediators can pass through the blood-brain barrier and exert their effects on the immune system. Thus, the effect of stress on the immune system is now an accepted relationship or association."
Curious how research plays out? The article is here:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5579396/
We have all heard that toxic thoughts hurt the thinker more than the subject of those thoughts but the effects on your health are real. There’s more to floating above it than foolishness. It may be life saving.

Sounds far fetched but there's a connection. Water is@the material by which blood pressure is regulated by the kidney and adrenal gland. If you're not drinking enough water and you have anxiety or panic attacks, you might need to be drinking more. Water quality matters and clean, clear filtered water is best.

But there's more to it. Being in nature and being near water has a calming effect on the nervous system. Floating in water (if you are capable and safe), can transform you. If you know and love any surfers, you know that they need water to feel happy and whole. Swimming can feel pretty devine when you do it regularly and any water sports you enjoy can be just as good.

And finally - there's the connection between water and the subconscious. Water is the symbol of psychological transformation. In water, as in our minds, we can both seek and hide. Spending time in and around water can really change your perspective.

If you're feeling under water or overwhelmed, acupuncture can help. Get started feeling better today.

Welcome back or come on in. The new normal is starting as we all gt back to being with friends and family and enjoying all the things again. Outdoor restaurants, appointments with your Osteopath, shopping where you can touch things and even TRYING ON PANTS. It's all coming back (with restrictions, or course). Come out of your house and feel the sun.

If you're not sure you're ready and that too much has changed please know that you're not alone and don't have to face it alone. Our profession has been operating throughout this last lockdown and lots of our clients don't feel quite right or quite ready to celebrate. Acupuncture is there for you.

Call or message us now, and we can help you start to feel better.

Are you sick of the work week already? You might not be alone. The world seems to be over working from home and teaching from home, and doing everything from home after which we have screen time - at home. Are you seeing a theme here?

You need a vacation. Sadly I think most people do. You might not be able to go to the beach, but good news - you can still get some quality relaxation from Acupuncture. Taking you to your sleepy place is one of Acupuncture's superpowers, and rest is half of the famous duo of rest and digest. Currently, Acupuncturists are deemed essential and can continue to practice, as we are a regulated health profession in Ontario,. That's even though it seems like nothing good is still open.

If you're considering trying Acupuncture, take advantage of the free consultation option or take the plunge and make an appointment. We can bill your insurance directly if you have that, so there's one less thing to worry about. Book now and get some self care which you definitely deserve!

Maybe if we could figure out the Acupuncture meridians on tulips we could keep them alive longer as well. But seriously, Acupuncture is legendary at both restoring the body's natural balance and putting you into a relaxed 'rest and digest' state. If you've been living from stressful moment to stressful moment all day long, you probably forgot what that's like. Here are some helpful ways to increase the 'rest and digest' portion of your day to 40%.
1 - eating hygiene. Cook all your meals at home and make a ritual out of meal time whenever possible. Cooking for yourself and family is excellent self care time. Smell the food as it's cooking and give the body a chance to prepare for all of its deliciousness. Keep all screens off and out of reach at mealtime (extra credit for leaving them on silent).
2 - sleep hygiene. Shut everything down two hours before bed including phones and screens, bright lights, and maybe even the wifi? Read a book that's paper. Talk with your family or call friends you miss and have been thinking about. Sleep in complete blackout darkness with no phones in the bedroom. Tell your friends you go 'off line at 9'. Then do it!
3 - take breaks even when you don't think you need them. A walk at lunchtime or gentle stretching of those tired sitting muscles remind your body that you know it has needs and you are listening to what it is messaging to you.
4 - ask for help! When you're feeling bad, sick, lonely, tired, stressed, sleepless, or just not yourself, get some help! Acupuncture is amazing but of course do what feels right for you at that moment. Meditation, yoga, pranayama, deep breathing, prayer, and gentle movement like qigong and taichi are all helpful but only you know what works for you. Create your coping strategy and don't hesitate to use it.

Client after client is coming to clinic due to unrelenting anxiety, insomnia, and feeling stressed. This group of symptoms is often a product of the environment we find ourselves trying to navigate. If my clients are new to acupuncture, they are often pleasantly surprised to start feeling better after they have acupuncture.

Are you aware of the power of acupuncture treatments relative to your immune system’s functional quality? At no point in your life has this been a hotter topic and if you have not tried acupuncture, maybe it’s worth considering. Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment for physical and mental symptoms that can disturb the enjoyment of a healthy life.

Check out this abstract from the National Center for Biotechnology Information regarding acupuncture’s effectiveness in treating the immune system: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18386646/

Being in home isolation in chronic pain is unbearable. You suffer and so does everyone around you. Did you know Acupuncture treats pain very effectively, and clients often leave from their first few appointments already feeling better? It's really quite common actually. In many cases clients feel better in both body and mind.

Instead of putting it off and hoping it goes away, come for an Acupuncture Treatment at Ohana Wellness Clinic!

https://ohanawellness.janeapp.com/ #/staff_member/39

Chinese medicine teaches us that there are often root imbalances on the inside of the body when something manifests more on the outside of the body. In fact many injuries actually have their roots in the condition of the acupuncture meridians when you were injured.

As a client you will learn all sorts of things about Chinese Medicine!

Systemic inflammation is responsible for many symptoms in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, M/S, lupus, and IBS. Inflammation is actually the body's response to what it perceives as non-native cells. This study from the Harvard Medical School shows effective relief from bacterial induced inflammation after subjects received acupuncture treatments.

“Our findings represent an important step in ongoing efforts not only to understand the neuroanatomy of acupuncture but to identify ways to incorporate it into the treatment arsenal of inflammatory diseases, including sepsis”

Read the whole article here: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/08/study-reveals-acupuncture-affects-disease-course/

If you're considering acupuncture for pain or inflammation but not sure where to start, schedule a free 15 minute consultation here.

Open wide and say lasagne! While mask wearing regulations make it kinda difficult to observe your tongue's story, it's still a cornerstone of TCM diagnosis. Whether its at the beginning or end of the conversation, it helps us gain insight into the condition of your Zangfu or major organ systems. It can tell is if you've been overindulging in sugar or not getting a good night's sleep. So don't be shy - show us your tongues!
