Most people experience a short term episode of sadness, hopelessness or frustration at least once in their lifetime as a normal and human reaction to challenges and extraordinary events. Anxiety by itself belongs to the normal range of human emotions and might be a mere expression of “the blues”. However, some have to cope with this mental burden even for several years. They worry and fear constantly causing such overwhelming distress that it interferes with the person’s ability to lead a normal life. This is referred to as anxiety disorder, which is a serious mental illness of the brain.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health anxiety disorders are the most common mental illnesses in the U.S. affecting 18% of the population, whereof women are twice as likely to develop it as men. Anxiety disorders are often accompanied by depressions. “Very often, we find that people have more than one condition — both depression and anxiety disorder” says Charles Goodstein, MD a professor of psychiatry at New York University School of Medicine. In a NIMH funded study researchers proved that more than 40 percent of people suffering from a specific form of anxiety disorder also developed a depression.

You are definitively not alone. Around 5% of the worldwide population are affected by anxiety and depression — a disease that can be easily and successfully cured. Balance Health can accompany you on your way to ease the mental pain and restore your energy and joy of life.

What Causes Anxiety and Depression?

○ The post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) stems from a terrifying event, violent assault, military combat, accident or a natural disaster
○ Often triggered by life events such as financial, relationship, and family problems
○ In general, the exact cause for anxiety disorder is largely unknown. But it is not the result of poor upbringing or personal weakness
○ Mostly caused by a combination of factors including changes in the brain and environmental stress

How Does Balance Health Solve these Mental Problems?

Acupuncture

Acupuncture, has been used as a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for many years, and is especially effective for the relief of acute or chronic pain and prevention or treatment of various diseases. It involves the painless insertion of ultra-thin single use needles into specific points on the body called acupoints, to “re-balance” the flow of the body’s energy. Your body’s energy, commonly known as ‘Chi’, should flow freely and unobstructed. If there are blockages in this flow, illness may arise and by re-establishing good energy flow, the body can begin to heal itself and restore health.

Tuina Massage

The treatment principle for Tui Na is very similar to Acupuncture. However instead of stimulating the body through the insertion of needles or Moxibustion, Tui Na aims to stimulate the body through the hands of the therapist.

Qi Gong and Tai Chi

Qi Gong is a form of exercise which aligns the breathing, the mental awareness and movement. It is now practiced throughout China and worldwide.

Exercise can be both a blessing and a challenge

Everyone doing sports is – of course – more likely to have sport injuries compared to those who just sit back and relax. Those injuries are a common risk for athletes, often limiting peak performance or simply preventing the participation in a chosen sport. Around 1.35 million youths a year in the U.S. have serious sport injuries mostly affecting ankles, head and fingers. This certainly doesn’t mean that you should avoid exercise, because the health benefits far outweigh the costs in terms of sport injuries.

Balance Health pursues an integrative approach

What causes Sports Injuries?

Exercise is good for you in terms of maintaining a good health. But sometimes accidents, or poor training practices can harm your body and cause sport injuries. Some people hurt themselves because they are not in a good shape and want to get started from zero to one hundred. In fact, there are plenty of reasons. But if you are aware of them, you can try to avoid them.

○ Fall, accident, trauma
○ Poor training practice: too heavy weight, poor warm-up or stretching
○ Overuse or repetitive movements
○ Improper equipment like shoes
○ Increase of activity level is too fast
○ Fatigue: your muscles need 48h rest to recover properly

Cupping is an ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practice that involves suctioning or vacuuming sections of the body. The cups are heated by swabbing rubbing alcohol on the bottom and then lighting the cup or by placing an inverted cup over a flame to aid in suctioning.

Glass cups are warmed with a flame creating a vacuum. Placed over a specific area the vacuum anchors the cup to the skin and pulls it upward. Drawing up the skin supports the opening of skin pores what helps to mobilize the blood flow in the body, balances the flow of qi and supports the removal of toxins from the body. It’s also a great way to relax after a particularly stressful time.

It has been reported to be useful with:
– Asthma
– Anxiety
– TMJ dysfunction
– Lung inflammation and congestion
– Pneumonia
– Poorly nourished skin and muscle tissue
– Diabetes, Toxicity, Stagnant lymph & edema
– Neuralgia, Rheumatism
– Chronic pain
– Insomnia, Migraine, Headaches, Parkinson’s Disease
– Poor circulation, high blood blood pressure
