Why Choose Holistic Healing Over the Holidays
All too often, the joy of our favorite holiday rituals can quickly be dampened by anxiety, frustration and stress. Juggling work, our children’s schedules, family commitments, and to-do lists – where every item demands our immediate attention – can quickly turn the holidays from a time of bliss to a time of anxiety, frustration and stress.
Reduce Holiday Stress with Holistic Healing
This year, Reimer Wellness Center is inviting you to relax into the holiday season with holistic healing. Holistic healing will help you relax and energize yourself so you can be more present with family and friends and truly enjoy the holidays as the pleasurable time they are meant to be! Below, our wellness team shares three ways that holistic healing can help you manage stress this holiday season:
1. Relieve stress. During the holidays, it can seem like our bodies are under a constant barrage of stress from every possible source. This stress has a serious physiological effect on our health. Stress increases cortisol levels and leaves our bodies in a constant state of “fight or flight” – hardly a good place to be when spending time with friends and family! Acupuncture and massage therapy are two popular holistic treatment options that have been shown to relieve stress and support whole body health from the inside out.
2. Strengthen the mind-body connection. When we’re frazzled and running in ten different directions due to demanding schedules, it can be hard to be present in the moment – we’re too busy thinking about the next thing on our to-do list! Holistic healing strengthens the mind-body connection. This helps calm the chaos in our heads so we can be present with family and friends and truly enjoy each moment as it unfolds this holiday season.
3. Reduce the risk for illness. Holistic care helps strengthen the immune system, reducing the likelihood for colds, flus and other common winter ailments. A strong immune system is essential to staying healthy throughout the holidays, especially if you are traveling or hosting family.
