7- Week Mindfulness Meditation Course at Integrative Therapies - Starting April 12


I


ntegrative Therapies is pleased to once again be offering Mind- fulness Mediation with Lina Landess. Mindfulness is about being


present in the moment. It is about putting down all the balls you are juggling in your day-to-day life and embracing what’s really important. By allowing us to become aware of the “little things”, Mindfulness Meditation helps us discover a quality of internal peace that is innate, but we keep missing with our busy days and even busier minds... Many organizations that have brought mindfulness to the workplace have discovered a decrease in the overall stress levels of their employees while observing a true increase in their focus, clarity and decision-making skills. Team managers who model mindfulness find their members engaged in the work environment. It has also been introduced in some schools where the students have responded positively both emotionally and socially. Join author Lina Landess, Holistic Health & Trauma Release Coach, Mindfulness Meditation Facilitator, and EFT Practitioner, for an hour on Thursday evenings starting, April 12th thru May 24th @ 6:30pm. Together you will explore how Mindfulness Meditation can help you find peace amidst the chaos and become a more focused, calmer and healthier you!

Nutritional Value of Herbs & Spices Seminar at Integrative Therapies – April 18 6:00 PM


T


oday herbs and spices are regaining the respect they had in ancient times. Recognizing their culinary and medicinal values,


herb gardens no longer are relegated to the country home’s back porch. Potted herbs in urban settings are more common. Interest in new spices is growing and leading to more food prep options, from enhancement of fusion cooking to exciting ways to accent a bland side dish.


The value of today’s herbs and spices in preparing meals goes


well beyond adding them as flavoring agents. Not only do they complement the foods you are serving, but herbs are also a source of essential vitamins, minerals, and phyto-nutrients. Supplement pills, capsules and powders have their place, but adding a fresh herb or new spice to your meal brings so much more appeal. For example, the fresh herb, Basil, contains exceptionally high levels of beta-carotene and vitamin A. It is also a source of folates, niacin, copper, iron, manganese and vitamins K and C. There are so many common to exotic herbs and spices, which are packed with nutri- tion, to enjoy with your food. Join Joyce Eury, LDN, RD for a dynamic discussion on the nutritional value of herbs and spices. Joyce is a Licensed Dietitian/ Nutritionist, certified as a Lifestyle Eating and Performance (LEAP) therapist, specializing in food sensitivities.


Please register by Friday, April 13 at our Front Desk or by calling Integrative Therapies at 336- 294-0910. Fee is $10 for the session. We are located at 7-E Oak Branch Drive in Greensboro. Visit us at www.integrativetherapies.net. See ad on page 7.


Acupuncture and Herbs for Seasonal Allergies at The Center for Holistic Healing


M


ost of us look forward to the approach of Spring and warmer weather. But many of us also begin to show signs of pollen


sensitivity. Symptoms of seasonal allergy sensitivity include: sneez- ing and cough, itchy eye and throat, sinusmcongestion and pain, and post nasal drip. Many clients choose acupuncture help with these symptoms. According to the theory of Chinese medicine, because Spring


is the season of new life and bloom, this can mirror imbalances we may have when adjusting to change and growth, whether this change is physical, mental, or emotional. The immune system can overreact by stimulating histamines to fight the approach, and the reaction can be severe, bringing on the typical allergy symptoms listed above. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs can help alleviate these symptoms, and ease the transition from Winter into Spring. It can harmonize imbalances on a deep level. We now have specific herb formulas for seasonal allergies available at the Center. Detoxification is also an important part of this process; our


bodies naturally want to ‘shrug off’ the cold, heavy and dark aspects of winter, and begin to bring things in our lives that are lighter and brighter. Nutritional needs change: from roasted stews and vege- tables, we now begin to want lightly cooked foods and juices. Nutritional therapy is an important part of Chinese medicine. Whether you follow a meat-based, vegetarian or vegan diet, let us help you find the right foods for your specific needs
