Your well-being is best supported when you have a variety of treatment and maintenance options. This is why we, at The Pagoda Tree, have decided to roll-out a very special approach to healing through the AromaTouch Technique – a gentle, massage-like treatment that incorporates high-quality essential oils!
Every year as spring comes around, we see an influx of people coming into the clinic wanting relief from sneezing, puffiness, sinusitis, shortness of breath, itchy skin and eyes, and we always tell them the best way to stop these symptoms is preparing for them a good month or two in advance. Well that time is now!!
Last year was a particularly bad year for hay fever and allergy sufferers and if you remember we had the dreaded asthma storm, so to best prep your immune system, carpe diem. So what is the best way to prep yourself for this, well here are a few things you can get started on right away.
You run around from here to there, from home, to work, to the shops, cooking, cleaning, friends, family, pets, kids, birthdays, weddings… who on Earth has time to deal with their emotions? Well… I’ll let you in on a little secret: You do!
Jacinta is one of our much loved practitioners here at The Pagoda Tree. You’ll find Jacinta in the clinic on weekends AND we are excited to announce she is adding more treatment days to her calendar as we sink into 2017. As a busy mum of two, we count ourselves lucky to have her. Here’s a little more about Jacinta and her love for Chinese Medicine. We know you’re going to love her too.
Most of us have had either a migraine or headache at some point, but if you are someone that suffers regularly from the dreaded head beast, then it’s time to get over it.
Headaches and migraines are usually classified as either primary or secondary. Primary headaches are generally caused by stress, tension, over exertion or hormonal imbalances, where as secondary are usually as a result of another condition, such as sinus infection, trauma, dental disease or tumour. Secondary headaches are of course a serious concern and if they are also followed by fever, severe dizziness, fainting, vomiting without nausea or are a follow on from a trauma then emergency protocols may be necessary.
Our Acupuncturist, Mitch Holland has dropped in to share his knowledge on your thyroid – what it does, why you need it to be in optimum working order and best of all, how you can use diet and lifestyle to steer it in the direction of health. We see so many patients who’s hormones are imbalanced, stemming back to poor thyroid function. We love helping people return to health here at The Pagoda Tree. To learn more, read on.
Thyroid health is imperative to systemic wellbeing. The thyroid hormones secreted into the bloodstream play key roles in cellular protein synthesis – specifically the DNA structure and reproduction in our cells. These little hormones are called T4 (thyroxine) and T3 (triiodothyronine), but that’s not all they do. As well as governing our cells health they also transport electolytes, regulate cardiac and muscle activity, improve metabolism, assist mental processes, balance libido and help regulate menstrual cycles. These are some of the bodies most prominent functions and when they are inflamed or underactive we notice them – and now know to look to the thyroid.
