Does this sound familiar to you?

• You wake up in the morning and your immediate initial reaction is to pick up your phone and check for messages, social media updates or news before you even get out bed.
• While eating your meal, other than the actual act of eating, you are simultaneously looking at your phone or tablet as well.
• Most of your time at work consists of sitting in front of a computer for at least 5 to 9 hours a day, constantly staring at the screen without blinking.
• At nighttime, when it is time to unwind and get ready to go to sleep, you are still staring at your phone, checking messages, social media posts and news before you go to sleep.

While the usage of the phone and tablet has caused many conveniences to help us function with our daily lives, the over reliance and usage has is causing a new health epidemic. The human eye was not built nor designed to stare at a screen for an extended period of time. Eye problems that were commonly found in the elderly are beginning to show on people at a younger age. With people becoming dependent on their phones and tablets, even young as a pre- schooler, it is inevitable that many will develop poor eye health. Again, the human eye was not built or designed to stare at a small bright screen for an extended period of time.

Approximately 1 in 5 Americans suffer from a form of mental illness according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Mental Illnesses such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder cause great hindrances on the lives of those who suffer from such diseases. Sufferers experience a wide variety of symptoms to include social anxiety, loneliness, and adrenaline rushes that cause high blood pressure and racing heartbeats. For many years, the two most common forms of treatments for mental illness have been talking to a therapist and prescription medications. Thankfully, there is another way.

All-natural alternative treatments have been introduced to the modern world over the last decade. These therapies, such as Acupuncture, have brought a new outlook on the necessary treatment of mental illnesses that affect so much of the population; it has given patients hope for healing. Exposure to natural healing methods help ease mental illness symptoms and provide long-lasting relief to those who suffer. Acupuncture uses specialized treatments to improve patients’ emotional well-being and works to provide physical improvements to the body which will improve overall health.

How can Acupuncture reduce mental health illness symptoms?

There are many positive benefits that Acupuncture can provide to suffers of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health illnesses. Treatments, such as needling, enable the body to produce hormones that combat products of stress, such as the over-production of Cortisol (the stress hormone) and symptoms such as increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure and sweating. Endorphin production, the “feel good” hormone, is triggered when acupuncture treatments are administered. This also enables the body to begin self-healing, tackling the root cause of the mental illness issue and healing the body from the inside out.

Since our emotions are triggered by our brain wave functions, Acupuncture treatments work to reverse the functions that cause negative symptoms triggered by mental illnesses, such as the production of Cortisol. A calm mind will offer clarity, reduce stress, and produce dopamine, another hormone that makes you feel happy. This is helpful for lowering blood pressure, high heart rates and even regulating bodily functions.

Physically, our body responds to stress by becoming unhealthy, weather that is depicted as weight loss or gain, physical symptoms such as sweating, shaking, or turning red, etc. Acupuncture focuses the body on stabilizing homeostasis, which balances the bodily systems enabling them to work together to create the healthiest environment for your body to thrive.

Fast Relief Acupuncture believes that mental health is a top-priority when looking at our client’s overall well-being. To focus on your mental health is to put your present and future first. Instead of relying on temporary fixes, such as prescription medications, try our all-natural, cost-effective treatments to obtain the greatest relief for your mental health illness.

With over 2.5 million people (about twice the population of Hawaii) in the world who experience varied symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, doctors and practitioners have begun to look to alternative treatments, such as Acupuncture. Acupuncture works in ways that pharmaceutical medications cannot. While prescription medications provide temporary relief, Acupuncture can allow patients to experience long-term symptom alleviation. The difference? Acupuncture targets the root cause of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, instructing the body to kick-start self-healing processes to areas most affected, like the Brain and the Thyroid.

Acupuncture also releases important body hormones associated with adrenaline, “feel good” emotions, and wakefulness. These naturally producing hormones, called Endorphins, boost mood, which improves Depression symptoms and allows the body to feel more energized. Relaxin, another hormone triggered by Acupuncture therapy, aids in patients feeling less anxious.

These processes enable patients to have a better quality of life over a period of time. When Acupuncture is used continuously as part of a balanced regimen, patients can see a drastic improvement in their Chronic Fatigue Syndrome symptoms such as,
