A reason for ALL symptoms

| September 20, 2017 1:00 AM

Most people want to be well and stay well. But getting well is more than taking a medication to suppress a symptom. It is a state of well being, of having the energy to do the fun things in life, and of not being restricted by health challenges. To be well is to be free of diseases, to have a balanced emotional state, and to have the option to live life to its fullest.

Acupuncture, herbal medicine and nutrition, designed to restore function and not just manage disease are necessary to resolving health challenges. To be well, the number one question you should be asking when discussing your symptoms is why. Why do I have heartburn (and don’t be content with an answer such as “because there is too much stomach acid,” ask “why there’s too much acid?”!). “Why is my thyroid not functioning,” “why am I fatigued,” “why can’t I sleep,” “why am I taking so long to heal?” Why, Why, Why!

Symptoms are the body’s way of telling you something is wrong. Symptoms don’t just happen for no reason. You don’t just one day have high blood pressure, high cholesterol or colitis. The body doesn’t just say “I have nothing else to do today, let’s just see what happens if I raise the blood pressure?” There is a reason for ALL symptoms, many times multiple reasons. Cholesterol, for example is the healing serum of the body. If it’s elevated, then we have to ask “why?” Is the body trying to heal something?” or, “is the body short of hormones and needs the cholesterol to make more hormones?” Why would the body create a symptom that has a potential of harming itself? Maybe the remedy is less risky than the condition it’s trying to help.

If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired or in pain, consider seeing a natural healthcare practitioner who can help decipher the why’s so that you are not just medically managed, but WELL.
