Breast & Body Thermography

Clinics Our thermography

clinics are provided by Susan Saari of

Metrowest Thermal Imaging

(mythermography.com).

The human body is an almost perfect emitter of infrared radiation. Infrared radiation is emitted through the skin’s pores. The

thermography camera collects your body’s

thermal emissions and creates an image called

a thermogram. A thermogram is basically

a map of your body’s thermal patterns that

indicate health or illness.

Relaxation Reflexology Does your immune system need a boost?

Reflexology is the application of pressure to areas on the feet (or the hands). Reflexology is generally relaxing and helps alleviate stress. Several studies

indicate that reflexology may reduce pain and psychological symptoms, such as stress and anxiety, and enhance relaxation and sleep. With Sue Eaton.

Reiki & Amethyst Biomat

This unique session combines all the benefits of Reiki healing with our Richway Amethyst Biomat, an FDA approved medical device which won the

Nobel Prize in medicine in 1991.

Originally created for use in cancer treatment, the Richway Amethyst Biomat combines infrared

healing with negative ion therapy. It detoxifies and restores ph in the body, alleviates allergies,

headaches, insomnia, exhaustion, and provides higher alertness and more mental energy.

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction

and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on

the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. It is a

simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has

been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery. With Sue Eaton.

Spring Healing Savings

Jill’s Spirit Corner With spring 2020 upon us, I’m eager to heal and grow. 2019 was a rough year for me so I’m particularly enthusiastic to cut off the old, dead limbs and reach for the light! Care to join?

Making more quiet time for myself is critical as I’m constantly, going, going, going. Even if it’s just ten minutes, I need more being instead of doing in my life. Quiet moments are the reboot we need and give us opportunities to grow and bloom naturally. Quietly. With these thoughts in mind, the following meditation from The Book of Awakening by Mark Nepo was helpful for me and I wanted to share it with you.

Straying So hard to feel the stone and not the ripple. The moment we stray from where we are, we create a tension between the two places – where we are and where we are thinking of being. It is this tension that blocks us form the sensation of being fully alive, because being split in our attention prevents us form being authentic – even though managing many tasks at once (being skillful in splitting our attention) is considered intelligent. For each of us, straying form where we are and coming back is a never-ending task, very much like blinking or breathing. When we incorporate this fullness of attention into our daily lives, we seldom notice it. But if we should interrupt our flow of being, we will stumble just as surely as if we were to stop seeing or breathing.

That we stray from the moment is not surprising. The more crucial thing is that we return.

• Center yourself and enter the moment at hand.

• Breath steadily and feel yourself stray: to somewhere else, to tomorrow, to the future or the past.

• Breathe through your staying, without judgement and re-enter the moment at hand.

Shiatsu: What’s in it for you? For those of you who have yet to try shiatsu and aren’t sure of its benefits, I thought I’d share some results and feedback from several clients.

• I recently had a new client come in with pain in his pectoral muscles. Some concentrated shiatsu in local as well as distal areas, along with cupping, cleared it up much to his relief.

• A long time monthly client says she always knows when it’s almost time for her next shiatsu because that’s when her shoulder starts to hurt again.

• Another long time monthly client says when she has goes without her shiatsu session, there is a noticeable worsening of her symptoms. It reaffirms that alternative, holistic medicine definitely helps her condition.

• A client who was in town recently came to see me as she needed help getting thorough the next couple of work days. Her experience has always been that shiatsu gets her through those times when her energy is depleted and she needs a re charge.

• Another client who I hadn’t seen in a year was back in town for a few days and booked a 90 minute session. Afterwards he said although he’s had different forms

of energy healing and body work in various parts of the world, his shiatsu session with me is his favorite.

Do yourself a solid and book your shiatsu! Together we can tackle pain management, stress relief and increase the flow of qi and blood which may be contributing to your illness or pain. Even just a monthly

session can put you back in balance and make a tremendous difference. Then put on some comfortable clothes and prepare to relax!

Homeopathy: a case study with Cheryl Wood For folks unfamiliar with homeopathy, sometimes a story is more meaningful than just listing off benefits of the healing modality! In this spirit, we’d like to offer you an example, or as we say in the field, a case study! Enjoy.On October, 2019, “Rose”, a 37 year-old woman came in seeking help for “everything”. (It’s not unusual for people to present with multiple and complex collection of symptoms or illnesses.) She wanted to try homeopathy as she was referred by another client. Rose sought help for PCOD (polycystic ovary disease which effects 1 in 10 women), endometriosis (when uterine lining cells grow on other organs, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (an autoimmune connective tissue disorder) affecting mainly the joints, skin and blood vessel walls). Rose suffered from severe, chronic, constant heart palpitations, colitis and complete exhaustion. In addition, she suffered from annual seizure-TIA-like episodes that usually last @ 45 minutes to an hour. During these episodes she experiences a tightening sensation in the heart, difficulty breathing, slurred speech, numbness in upper body, tingling down left arm, blood pressure drop, and increased perspiration. Additional medical history: a Lupus test was positive, but after a re-test with a negative result, Rose either does not have Lupus or it is in remission. Was t-boned in a car accident a few years back and suffered a head injury. @30 years ago also suffered a head injury. Rose has debilitating migraines, tinnitus, chronic sinus infections, cavities, inflamed lymph nodes, varicose veins, all over body cramping, iodine deficiency and is vitamin d deficient. She also suffers from IBS/colitis throughout her life. She is a light sleeper, with disrupted sleep patterns. 80% of the time has blue lips and fingertips. Despite her medical issues, she lives very happily with second husband and two children from a previous marriage. She suffered a miscarriage late in a different pregnancy, lost fetal heartbeat, a very trying time, understandably. There is a significant emotional backstory in this case as well. Throughout her life, Rose was discounted not only by family members but her primary care doctor, told multiple times that her myriad of health issues were ‘all in her head’. She now has a phenomenal rheumatologist and neurologist that continue to monitor her and encouraged her to try homeopathy. If homeopathy didn’t work, they would recommend weekly or monthly injections of stronger medications, that would probably be life-long. When asked to rate all ailments on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the worst in pain, she said it’s all a 100, This case is still open/active. Given the degree and length of time of suffering, we have our work cut out for us. None of this will be an overnight fix. Years and years have gotten her here and we’ll need some time for her body to heal. There are many layers to this case - we heal from the inside out. Healing in this case will most likely mean the use of multiple remedies for the different layers. One of Rose’s greatest strengths are her intuition and perseverance. Both are helping guide ME in helping her. Currently, we are messaging weekly for monitoring progress. I’ve increased the potencies of remedies several times, and have made a couple of changes to the actual remedies. We had our first in-person follow up a few weeks ago. Rose has reported a reduction in symptoms severity by 50% (5/10 scale). We’re still in-process and moving forward. It’s simply amazing how her life is improving.

Looking for a little more immune support? Antiviral and Antibacterial Effects of Cold Away

Article courtesy of Andrew Gaeddert, founder of Health Concerns.

Before discussing the ingredients in Cold Away®, we should point out that there are several types of exogenous wind patterns. Most individuals, whether in summer or in winter, experience wind-heat as the type of wind-borne illness that leads to the common cold and flu. Cold Away, therefore, is used specifically to address the wind-heat pattern. The wind-cold syndrome is less common and is associated more with the phenomenon of "catching a chill," for which other formulas such as moxibustion are more appropriate. 

The symptoms of early stage externally contracted wind-heat disease for which Cold Away is appropriate include fever, headache, sinus and chest congestion, sore throat, coughing, and aversion to wind. The pulse is usually superficial and rapid, and the tongue red or red tipped with a white or yellow coating. Cold Away can also address throat infections, cold sores, fevers, as well as biomedical indications such as viral tonsillitis, otitis media, measles, and pharyngitis.

Prevention and Adjunct formulas for colds and flu:

• Astra C™, based on Jade Screen Powder is a simple preventive, cold/allergy formula • Enhance® or Astra Isatis™ can be used for persons with chronic viral infection • Tremella and American Ginseng™ for those with chronic immune disorders with signs of yin deficiency and

dryness • Isatis Gold for colds, flu and bronchitis

Yin Chao Jin - colds, sore throat, flu • Yin Chao Jr. - colds, cough, flu (for children) • Head-Q for headache, and stiffness of the upper back. Ease 2 also addresses neck and shoulder tension.These herbs can be ordered on-line on websites such as www.Amazon.com.
