Sleep, Anxiety & Depression
About
Sleep, anxiety, depression, or any other mental or emotional concerns may be your main reason for treatment with Stephanie, or may be secondary. Whatever the case, this holistic style of medicine generally results in significant improvement in these areas.
What to Expect
Patients very frequently notice immediate relaxation, during and after treatments. Improved sleep, mental clarity, and mood are all common results as well. Depending on how much and what type of activity, relaxation, or stress are present for each individual in the days following treatment, this feeling may linger or dissipate at varying rates.
Positive effects of treatment are cumulative. It is usually recommended to receive several treatments relatively close together (1–2 times per week for 4–8 treatments), then gradually space out treatment more and more, as we observe and assess together the impacts of less frequent treatment.
Activities outside of treatment make a big difference — drinking a personalized Chinese herbal formula daily often helps these issues immensely. Diet and lifestyle factors like drinking enough water, cutting back on caffeine, and regular exercise all help. Dr. Eastin will share her specific personalized recommendations and, if appropriate, recommend a Chinese herbal formula.
How It Helps
By helping to move blood and energy throughout the body, including the brain, all of the organs and tissues function better and are nourished more optimally.
A goal of Chinese medicine is to help your body’s energy to match nature. When this occurs, people are more connected to and supported by the energy of nature, resulting in a greater sense of ease, a stronger positive perspective, improved energy, and an ability to remain calm and present.
Chinese medicine has been treating these types of conditions for thousands of years. Modern research has confirmed many specific benefits of acupuncture, Chinese herbs, massage, and diet and lifestyle modifications for these types of complaints. The combination of classical and modern medical wisdom can help you to feel like your true self and reduce these discomforts, in a way that meets you where you are at.
