I recently had a treatment with Janelle, our Naturopathic Doctor who also does acupuncture.

I have had good results with acupuncture usually when it relates to treating my shoulder pain. My injury is from the after-effect of a rock climbing accident many years ago, which gets exacerbated by my work as a Massage Therapist.

This treatment though, I was desperate trying to find relief for an unexplained rash that I primarily attribute to the stress after suffering a personal loss, as well as the cold weather that we have been experiencing and which certainly doesn’t help.

I actually had a good nights sleep, all without asking anyone with sharp nails to Scratch Right There…

She followed up the treatment with some home care suggestions (bathing with oatmeal, medicinal cream at night). The results were amazing!!!

The cream enhanced the effectiveness to the treatment, which is Traditional Chinese Medicine-based, where the practitioner looks at the whole body.

Stress can manifest itself in so many different ways.  Here are a few.

I found my stress-relief through the use of acupuncture, and hopefully you’ll get the same results as I did.
