Any one or a combination of the above symptoms could be manifestations of stress in your body.
Stress-related
problems respond well to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
, which includes acupuncture, dietary advice, herbal medicine, massage
and exercise.
TCM works holistically in bringing your body and mind into harmony.
TCM is a complete medical system to diagnose, prevent and treat dis-ease
and improve well being. The aim is to balance the harmony in your body,
putting everything back in tune and restoring the natural equilibrium of
your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual functions.
Indiviualised standalone or combination treatments will be specifically
devised depending on your needs and the kind of symptoms and
manifestations you are experiencing.
In addition to TCM, you can complement your treatment with
Mindfulness Based
Stress Reduction (MBSR) self-management skills to enhance the effect of your
treatment and sustain long term balance and well being.
During clinic sessions you may choose to be guided through mindfulness awareness
exercises, including mindfulness of breathing, mindfulness of the body and
mindfulness of thoughts, feelings and sensations.
By
integrating mindfulness into your daily life, you will be actively supporting
your healing process with resources that effectively manage the thoughts and
emotions which influence your health.
MBSR programmes are also available for groups, and are usually held on a weekly basis for eight weeks.
