ANXIETY FREE WITHOUT MEDICATION: Regulating the Biochemistry by Restoring the Biofield

Woman silhouette on the lotus background

With Marie Regis, M.S., L.Ac.

In its 4,000 year history, Chinese medicine has developed a highly sophisticated theory of the relationship between organ function and emotional/mental health. In particular, today’s science is supporting the view that a healthy digestive system is central to healthy brain chemistry and adrenal health. In this lecture, Marie explains the theory behind this work, and shares dramatic stories of recovery in clients who suffered from chronic anxiety, PTSD, insomnia and depression from the mind-body approach provided by acupuncture.

WHERE: At the N.A.V.E.L. Expo, Huntington Hilton, 598 Broadhollow Rd., Melville

WHEN: Sunday May 15th at 10 AM

ACCESS FEE: $20  for all day access to all health lectures and exhibitors

Introduction to meditation series

“To find yourself, to know your innermost being, you must relax in order to reach that point…You are able to truly hear you, to truly see the inner you and to truly come to understand that part of you which, for most, is not apparent on the surface”

INTRODUCTION TO MEDITATION

Come and experience what it’s like to be a human BEING rather than a human DOING! In this workshop, we will discuss what mediation is (and is not) and gently guide you through a meditation experience using a three-part process: progressive relaxation, focusing on the breath, and life- supporting affirmations. Learn tools to let go of the stresses of daily living and live from a center of greater stillness, self- acceptance and peace.

WHEN: Tuesday May 3rd, 10th and 17th from 1:30-3:00 pm
              Wednesday May 4th, 11th and 18th from 7:30 pm to 9 pm

MOLD: A Danger to your Health

beautiful young woman faceMany of us have heard that the air inside most homes is more toxic than the exterior air. One of the main factors here is the presence of mold. We’ve all seen the black mold that grows on the tile in your shower if it’s not regularly scrubbed. But mold in many cases cannot be seen because it is hiding behind the walls and ceilings, behind bookcases, wallpaper or panelling.

Mold can cause chronic sinus problems and allergies, asthma, and even chronic fatigue and  fibromyalgia. It can lead to cancer in people with weakened immune systems.

I was inspired to write about this after a tree fell on the roof of my home in late February. The damaged roof caused water to leak in, and (I won’t bore you with details about the landlord’s decision to delay repairs) mold developed within 2 weeks of the damage… Don’t ever delay repairing a leak, trust me, you don’t want the consequences of that. Here are two links to basic information about mold remediation, from the Environmental Protection Agency:

If you are exposed to mold before or during the process of fixing the problem, here are some prevention tips you may not have thought of to protect your health:
  • Wear a mask and be careful not to spread the spores into the rest of the house as the work is going on.
  • Diffuse Tea Tree or Niaouli essentials oils to protect your lungs. Both are strongly anti-fungal and support your immune system. Eucalyptus oil also helps clear the lungs.  Keep in mind that specific essential oils should be used 3 days on, 3 days off to prevent habituation.
  • Drink plenty of water
  • Eat soups. In particular, include parsnips, daikon radish, and bay leaves as these ingredients help detoxify and clear phlegm form your lungs and sinuses.
  • Avoid dairy products
  • Go out for a walk to breathe in clear fresh air.

If you already have allergies and want to stop taking antihystamines, or just feel better, consult with an licensed acupuncturist. I have helped many people eliminate their allergies and chronic sinus problems.

In Health,

Marie
