Welcome to Tao of Wellness, an integrated health, well-being and
longevity center. We view each patient as an individual whose well being
is affected by lifestyle, including diet, emotions, attitude and
environment. Thus each person’s health needs will differ from those of
another.
From the time you enter the Tao of Wellness, to the time you leave,
you will experience each staff member as part of our healing team. We
encourage the formation of a personalized, respectful and trusting
long-term healing partnership. We at Tao of Wellness value this
partnership highly; we believe the best healing is achieved in a
reciprocal relationship. Our doctors are highly skilled in the art and
science of healing, and believe in empowering each patient with
knowledge and confidence. We are looking forward to anticipating and
responding to your health and wellness needs; our mission is to serve
you and provide you with a total healing experience.
Our July issue is dedicated to the men in our crowd, their situations and their concerns. Of course, in bringing up Yang, associated with the masculine, Yin, associated with the feminine, naturally arises. You are sure to find something of interest in our featured articles:

Did You Know?
Research
has shown that acupuncture can be beneficial to people with severe heart
failure. By reducing the pressure on the heart, acupuncture decreases
activity in the sympathetic nervous system regulating involuntary
movements such as heartbeat and blood pressure. Scandinavian studies
have shown that acupuncture can increase the heart's working capacity,
reducing pain and the need for medication.
In Chinese medicine, chest pain and heart failure have different
causes. The basic cause of chest pain is obstruction of the circulation
of chi and blood. Deficient patterns include weak circulation of blood
with increased viscosity which causes stagnation. Excess patterns
include pathogenic substances which block chi and blood circulation.
In a 2004 study, acupuncture was shown to be helpful in reducing pain due to knee arthritis. It also could be beneficial for sufferers of post-traumatic stress disorder. And when used along with in vitro fertilization, it may be effective in increasing the odds of success in female conception. Stimulating an acupuncture point in the toe even may help correct the breech position of babies in the last trimester and allow more women to avoid C-sections, according to a study in the Journal of the
American Medical Association.

INTENSIVE CLEANSING-DETOX RETREAT
Our body is automatically programmed to cleanse itself daily.
However, overwhelmed by environmental exposure to an increasing
number of harmful and toxic substances, our body’s natural
cleansing ability is compromised. Environmental toxins have been
implicated in conditions like cancer, infertility, autoimmune
diseases, chronic degenerative and painful conditions.
