Men's Health
High blood-pressure:
Many factors including, cholesterol, diet, sleep, family history, and stress increase chances of developing high blood pressure. Chinese Medicine is able to treat multiple factors by working on stress management, diet and lifestyle coaching, effectively reducing cholesterol levels, decreasing arterial pressure and addressing the pathology of any organs affected by the disease itself, leading to a lasting and effective reduction in blood pressure.
Heart disorders:
Long-term stress can put you at risk for heart disease. With ever increasing work demands, reducing stress can be a difficult and tricky balancing act. Although reducing workload is one of the major keys to reducing the strain, it isn’t the only option. Sometimes the management of stress is more important than the amount of stress itself. Chinese Medicine provides treatment and offers immediate stress reduction, while restoring optimal health. So whether you have recently suffered from a heart attack or angina, or you have just been warned by your doctor to be cautious about your heart health, Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture are here to help.
Insomnia and sleep disorders:
Recent studies have shown that sleep deprivation has a direct correlation to heart disease, type 2 diabetes, mental function and emotional stability. Insomnia can be considered as; trouble falling asleep, waking early, or waking multiple times throughout the night. There are many root cases for insomnia, by discovering, addressing and treating these causes; the insomnia dissipates with lasting effects and no need for long-term use of possibly addictive sedatives.

Digestive problems:
Most people experience a form of stress induced digestive irregularity some time in their lifetime. Whether it is bloating, acid reflux, or bowel irregularities like chronic constipation, diarrhea and Irritable Bowel Syndrome, digestive problems are inconvenient and uncomfortable. Stress has a big impact on the digestive system; a simple example is the butterflies and nausea that occur in a stressful, nerve-racking situation like public speaking. Chinese Medicine not only helps in balancing and rectifying the digestive imbalance, it can also help the body manage stress more effectively.
