Natural Medicine For Stress, Anxiety, and Depression

“Any approach to treating Depression, Anxiety, and other psycho-emotional problems will only be partially effective if it does not address all aspects of the psyche, namely the body, mind, AND spirit. Our Body-Mind-Spirit Wellness Program includes herbal and nutritional therapy to balance the body, meditative techniques and spiritual exercises to adjust and regulate the mind and spirit, and Acupuncture to calm and regulate the nervous system. The result is a complete system of healing that allows you to experience life more fully and openly.”

Goals of this program

• More relaxed, less stressful emotional states
• Deeper, more restful sleep
• Physical and Emotional detoxification
• Renewed enthusiasm for the adventure of life

Important Disclaimer: We do not advocate against conventional treatment for depression/anxiety or other psychological issues . We know that some people do very well on modern pharmaceutical drugs for these conditions, and we would never encourage anyone to stop taking their medication. Each patient must make his/her own decision regarding what works best for him/her. We do, however, believe that natural methods are an effective complement to conventional methods and can help people wanting to experience better mood. Additionally, the Herbal and Food Therapy principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine are an excellent adjunct and provide optimal nutritional support for those who want to more completely adjust their mental/emotional well-being.

Understanding the Mind/Body/Spirit Connection

In Chinese Medicine we do not see the body, mind, and spirit as separate, distinct entities, but as a complete integrated whole. In fact, Chinese Medicine for millenia has attributed spiritual, mental, and emotional energies to the major organs of the body.

Using this energetic map of organs and emotions, we prescribe herbs and supplements and apply Acupuncture treatments that will help you achieve greater balance on all levels. Additionally, we will walk you through several Qigong exercises and meditations that will serve as tools to help you maintain that balance.

Energy Patterns and Emotional/Mental Health

In Chinese Medicine, we understand the Universe to be an infinite sea of Energy (Qi), which is constantly moving, changing, and forming patterns. It is these patterns which allow us to experience the same things over and over, such as the tree in the front yard of the house, the office where we go each day to work, our friends and families, and all things which are to us “real” and “solid”. Yet, as we all know, everything changes. Change is a reflection of a shifting away from a familiar pattern and movement towards a new one.Most psychological problems, in their mental/emotional aspect, are rooted in a resistance to change in some form or another. Due to fear, anger/resentment, or grief, we are unable to accept the changes that are happening around us. This leads to a disconnect between our outer and inner realities, which then leads to unhealthy or self-destructive mental and emotional patterns.

Most of the time this disconnect happens during a stressful or traumatic event that is too much for us to process all at once, such as the death of a loved one, or physical or sexual abuse, or combat stress. As children we are even more prone to become disconnected because we do not have the emotional or mental maturity to process the traumas of life. However, whether we experience the trauma as adults or children, at that moment a part of us becomes “frozen in time” as we struggle to “move forward” while not succumbing to the overwhelming terror, anger, and/or grief that is gripping us.

All of us experience these traumas, and all of us carry their hidden effects with us. Any time that a person suddenly feels hurt, angry, or sad in response to an external event, it is because that event somehow triggered the energy of that trauma to come to the surface. Most of us suppress those reactions because they are not appropriately expressed in the context where they arise — they can often be disruptive and disrespectful in certain social situations.

At some point, however, the forces of change overtake our ability to resist them, and we find that these trapped negative emotions become amplified and cause problems in daily functioning. Whether it is anxiety, depression, and/or some other imbalance, what is needed is to let go of the resistance that is supporting the negative emotional experiences and to embrace the changes with an open heart and clear intent. At that point, a window of opportunity is created where we can consciously create a new, healthier pattern for ourselves and those around us.

Chinese Medicine Provides Tools for Change

Chinese Medicine provides many tools to use in making the transition from unhealthy and/or self-destructive patterns to more healthy, positive ones. Herbal therapies and Acupuncture can be used to calm the mind, reduce anxiety and tension, improve sleep, and increase resistance to stress. Food Therapy is excellent in providing guidance on the right foods to eat to support emotional health based on the unique imbalance of each patient. Qigong exercises can be used to tap into the imagination and subtle energies of the body to accelerate and strengthen the transition to new mental and emotional patterns.
