Stress-related concerns are responsible for 75% to 90% of appointments with primary care physicians, and more importantly decrease quality of life by affecting mood, disrupting sleep, depressing immune function and having a negative effect on a host of other qualities that make life worth living.
We have known for decades that meditation is effective for combating the effects of stress (and more recently that it’s benefits are far more wide-ranging), and recent research has confirmed that many of herbal medicines (phytomedicines) that have been used for centuries as “tonics” do indeed effectively support the body in coping with stress.
Our Meditation for Stress program provides instruction on how to effectively use meditation to combat stress, and which of the many “stress-fighting” herbal medicines (phytomedicines) (e.g., Ginseng, Ashwaganda) may be appropriate for you.
Our Meditation for Stress Management program includes:
- 60-minute appointment for meditation training and creation of a individualized guided meditation
- Recommendation of natural medicine(s) most suited to your experience of stress
