Happy Heart Day!

Valentine's day, what a perfect time to take care of the body's largest and most important muscle!
In general, the heart's main function is to pump oxygen-rich blood through the arteries into all parts of the body. In Traditional Chinese medicine it also determines the state and strength of our constitution. A strong heart equals a strong, vigorous, active person with a 'hearty' constitution. The Heart is also connected with the spirit or "Shen". Mental activity resides in the Heart, which results in its affect on our emotional health, memory, thinking and sleeping. With a strong healthy Heart, comes a mind that is peaceful and happy, a balanced emotional world and sleep that is sound. A Registered Acupuncturist can help your mind and body function better. If you or a loved one, are experiencing any of the above symptoms contact your Acupuncturist today, and help take care of your Heart!
