Stress
Stress is a natural response of the body to various demands we place upon it. Back in hunting and gathering times, our stress response, also known as our fight or flight response, provided us with the energy to preserve life during difficult situations, such as an attack or threat by a wild animal.
Unfortunately, the modern-day stress of today is considerably higher, more frequent and more consistent than what our predecessors experienced.
Today, we do not have to look much further than our windows, or computer screens, to view various forms of stressors. Everything from Prime-time news and road rage to the forty-hour or more work week, terrorism-talk and cell phones.
However, stress is not necessarily always negative. There is a distinction between healthy and unhealthy stress.
Healthy stressors are usually short lived and keep us alert and motivated and support our body’s strength and vitality.

Our Response to Stress:
Can either help or hinder our body’s ability to cope with these various stressors in our lives.
Healthy Responses to Stress include:
Appropriate physical exercise, good eating habits, positive thinking, adequate rest, being a part of a healthy community of people who can lend you support.
Unhealthy Responses to Stress include:
Negative thinking, overexertion, poor eating habits, lack of sleep, isolation. These unhealthy responses can cause the body to work harder than it needs to and can trigger physical and mental/emotional issues.
Over time, ongoing stress and unhealthy responses to stress can actually be detrimental to our health.
With increased and consistent stress, our white blood cells which defend our body against viruses decrease. This results in lower immune resistance ultimately leading to physical disease and emotional instability.
Even if the stressors are no longer present, the body continues to keep the stress response active. This results in the depletion of our nervous system, lymphatic organs (spleen, thymus, and lymph nodes), kidneys and adrenal glands, which can pave the way for a wide variety of signs and symptoms.

There is Hope
We here at the Lotus of Longevity go far beyond treating signs and symptoms and address the root cause of your problem.
One way stress affects the body is by causing a depletion or blockage of blood and oxygen/ATP (energy carrying molecules in cells) in what animates and supports balanced functions of the body. Blood and oxygen/ATP flow through specific pathways and provide nourishment for those physiological systems and the entire body. When blood and oxygen/ATP becomes “blocked” or “obstructed” or the supply is inadequate the body and organ systems become “stressed out” and our health is compromised.
With our Holistic Eastern medicine approach here at the Lotus of Longevity, we will help to support and restore the integrity of various organs affected and depleted by the stress response along with evaluating the quality and quantity of blood and oxygen/ATP circulating throughout the body to properly nourish and strengthen various physiological systems of the body.
A Holistic Approach means:
Addressing any necessary diet changes along with a medicinal protocol that involves a herbal prescription that is customized for your specific needs and/or advanced nutritional supplemental support in addition to acupuncture treatment to enhance treatment outcomes.
