How Do You Revive a Dying Plant?

Would you give it a lot of water everyday? Would you place it in the bright sun all day to bring it back to life? But did you know a dying plant needs slow and steady nourishment of small amounts of water and mild sunlight. Excessive nourishment may be a sure way to kill the plant.

Sometimes to bring something back to life requires continual support in small bits. Strong doses of any therapy or a one-time magic pill will not revive your system back to health.

Likewise, for chronic nagging problems, lifestyle and dietary changes support the body through small but consistent ways. Therapies help tremendously as well.

Acupuncture, massage, herbs, and supplements, in the long term, can improve or reverse chronic problems and enhance your body’s ability to respond to daily stresses. Chronic stress can readily age you and plummet your body into ill-health.

The highest outcomes come from changes set in place for a long period of time. Generally speaking, within 4-6 months, you should see changes in your body, improved energy, and symptoms alleviating or disappearing. In this fast-paced society, 4-6 months seem way too long for most people. They’re hoping there’s a quick fix somewhere that can instantly take care of it so they can get back to work.

However, the condition probably took 4-6 months (often times longer) to develop in the first place. Given the amount of energy and time for your body to manifest the condition, it is fair to give it as much time to reverse itself without suppressing the symptoms deeper with medications.

People who get acupuncture on a regular basis see that their chronic problems improve tremendously. Often times, they don’t even realize that their problems have disappeared.

While acupuncture can provide sudden improvements especially with acute pain, its effects can also be quite stealth. Acupuncture can appear not to have any effects at all, but then over time, you notice that your insomnia has disappeared, your headaches are non-existent, your digestive problems have completely vanished, and your friends say that you seem happier now. And you wonder… “Hmmm, how did that happen?”

Anything worth building takes time.
