What helps to de-stress?
Recently, Suesan Johnson, CCH, C.HP, one of our resident homeopaths, spoke at a local Dementia Support Group about the importance of self-care for caregivers…
While some may feel as though self-care is selfish in nature especially when taking care of a loved one, it is the opposite. Practicing self-care is a win-win. It allows you to be the best version of yourself, so you can be loving and compassionate with others.
What are examples of self-care?
- eat healthy
- stay hydrated
- exercise
- sleepstay connected
At Natural Medicine and Detox, we offer natural ways to help clients who suffer from acute or chronic stress and the illnesses associated with it. Acupuncture increases circulation, releases serotonin, and calms the nervous system. Homeopathy is a natural and effective medicine to reduce the symptoms of overwhelm and anxiety. Both therapies stimulate the body’s own ability to restore balance and manage symptoms associated with stress and anxiety. ~ Suesan Johnson, CCH, C.HP
The idea is to deal with stress by addressing the root cause.
