Our bodies are constantly bombarded by demands and stressors. Traffic tie-ups. Harried workplaces. Anxiety in our closest relationships. Stresses unimagined by our grandparents are taking a toxic toll on our well-bring, showing up as everything from migraine headaches and allergies to digestive problems, while a full night’s sleep is an elusive dream.

Do you want to take back your health and your happiness? David Weinthal, a doctor of Oriental medicine and specialist in three types of acupuncture, has helped thousands of people over the last 17 years do just that using a holistic approach including nutrition and lifestyle. Dr. Weinthal’s self-care philosophy is expanding with Acupressure2Wellness, techniques to help gain control of your body without over-the-counter drugs or prescription medications. Using three steps to success, Dr. Weinthal teaches how to calm your body and reduce the over-stimulated, fight-or-flight tension leaves many of us unable to get the restful sleep needed to recharge our bodies.

“If you are in hyper-sensitivity mode, your body doesn’t have the ability to heal,” says Dr. Weinthal. “Very often, acupressure can turn off pain or render great relief form pain or discomfort in a few minutes.”

Dr. Weinthals’ three steps to success include teaching breathing exercises and acupressure protocols that increase blood flow and calm the body using gentle taps or massage on specific pressure points. These tools were vital to Beth, a stay-at-home mom approaching 40 who was experiencing heart palpitations and insomnia while coping with the breakdown of her marriage. Within a week of her first session, Beth was able to calm rising anxieties and sleep, allowing her to cope with the changes in her life.

“In today’s world, we have to be pro-active in being our own health proxy,” says Dr. Weinthal. “If we want to live the life we were meant to, we need to address these toxins and stressors in our lives.”

Dr. Weinthal also urges natural health care providers to adopt self-care in their lives and see how it can improve the way they serve their patients. Going through the same struggles clients may experience allows the healers to share what they learned and how they coped. MP3 and video (DVD?) demonstrations of Dr. Weinthal’s acupressure protocols will be available in January 2015.
