A Journey For All - Acupuncture Unveiled
Welcome to a New Wave of Well-being
In 2023, the phrase "taking care of your health" is no longer limited to simply keeping your doctor's appointments, dutifully taking prescriptions and doing exactly what the doctor says. This passive way of receiving healthcare takes the responsibility to be your best out of your hands, and into someone else's - the healthcare system's. Sometimes you may discover that the goals that are best for you, and the goals of the healthcare system may not align.
Taking care of your health is an active process. It means that YOU are in charge, and that you must be educated on what is going in your body. It is your responsibility to seek the answers to the questions that we all have - Why is this happening to me? What can I do about it? What are my options? What might work best for me and why? How can I change my lifestyle to improve my health? What complementary therapies might help me?
Embrace this responsibility that is entirely yours. This is Empowered Health. Achieving good health is hard work. Becoming your own advocate and learning the information that is more accessible than ever before, does take effort. Finding your "Board of Directors" - trusted health professionals who will serve as your advocates - takes time and resources. But finding the best ways to serve YOU is truly possible.
We encourage you to surround yourself with people who understand that the body is more than the sum of its parts, who realize that emotional health is interconnected with one's physical health. Taking care of your health must include your emotional health, it requires acknowledging all of the traumas of the past, so that you can let them go and move on. Author and physician, Gabor Maté MD has written extensively on the mind-body connection. To learn more, we recommend his latest book, The Myth of Normal.
A Complementary Path to Recovery
At Seyhart we believe deeply in the mind-body and whole-body benefits that Acupuncture offers. For example, what else can one do for sleep troubles, besides taking a sleeping pill? Acupuncture supports one's life force energy, or Qi, and moves stagnant energy shown to improve sleep. Acupuncture is not only a complementary therapy to help with aches and pains; but it's also a proactive measure to reinforce one's foundation of health, thereby preventing disease, hastening recovery and supporting anxiety and mental health. By balancing the body's energy and stimulating specific points, acupuncture works in tandem with the body's natural healing processes, optimizing whatever health regimen you're already following.

A Ripple Effect in Health Advocacy
The more we talk about the comprehensive benefits of acupuncture, the wider its acceptance grows. Not only will recognition grow in the public, but healthcare professionals will also encourage the inclusion of complementary approaches in patient care. We can create a community that is well-informed, open, and whole-body health-centric.
