Grief has the power to cleanse & heal or destroy & destruct. It can feel like a Tsunami that overpowers our entire system shaking us to our knees, affecting our core stability. A roller coaster that takes over our emotions, body and nervous system, reminding us that someone or something important has been lost. Our hearts broken open, in hope that they can begin to cleanse, heal, love and trust again. It offers the choice of stagnation or expansion depending on how we go about connecting to and with the pain. There is no easy way to walk through grief, its excruciating. Allowing someone you trust, that has walked the path before you helps to guide the way and shed light when the darkness feels too unbearable and heavy alone.

If gums, natural teeth, partials, and complete dentures are not cleaned properly, you are likely to experience a build-up of plaque, leading to bad breath, cavities, gum disease and further tooth loss.

Acupuncture for Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a musculoskeletal disorder with symptoms such as fatigue, chronic and diffuse pain, cognitive impairment, and sleep difficulties. It can affect people of any age and gender, although adult women seem to be most affected. The complexity of the disorder can make it difficult to diagnose and treat. Acupuncture can be a good pain management option for fibromyalgia patients, as it stimulates natural pain-relieving mechanisms in the body and has little to no side effects. A 2018 trial suggested that acupuncture causes changes in the levels of two neurotransmitters (brain chemicals) that are key to fibromyalgia. Acupuncture appears to increase serotonin and decrease substance P, which can improve fibromyalgia symptoms.
