We love essential oils. They are a much safer way to scent yourself, your clothing, your home and car, as well as your cleaning routines. If you have fragrances in your life in the form of perfume, air freshener, scented soaps and detergents or candles we highly recommend that you consider changing to essential oils. Do it for your health!
After 12 years in the Portland Medical Building, we have decided that it is time for a change of scenery. We are eager to announce, starting January 2nd, 2023 we will be seeing you at our new location in Cedar Hills. We will miss the downtown vibe, the people, the wonderful businesses that we have come to love, and the restaurants that we enjoy.
Cupping therapy releases the muscles, moves lymph fluids, increases blood flow, and initiates a healing response. When there has been injury to the muscle or when a muscle becomes chronically tight from overuse, underuse, or incorrect posture, blood and lymphatic fluid does not move freely through the area. Over time this creates stagnation of these substances within the muscles and tissues. Simply put, stagnation leads to pain.
In our feet, there are thousands of nerve endings and almost seventy acupuncture points that correspond to different systems, organs, and parts of the body. By stimulating these nerve endings we are able to “talk” to the whole body. This stimulation “wakes up” or brings energy to those places that need it, or “calms down” or re-regulates energy to those places that have more than is needed. Reflexology should not be used to diagnose or treat illness, however it is a wonderful compliment and support to most medicines and their treatments (western, eastern, energy, spiritual, etc.). This is particularly true as the gentlest forms of this practice almost always help a person to move into the parasympathetic nervous system. This system inhibits the body from over working and restores the body to calm and rest.
