Everybody Must Get [Acu]Stoned. What?!!

My husband, Steve, is a huge Bob Dylan fan. As his wife, I've even suffered through the Dylan Christmas album... more than once. (Can you say excruciatingly off-key, fa-la-la?!) One of Dylan's best known songs is titled, Everybody Must Get Stoned". So, when I was searching for a term to describe the slightly euphoric relaxation enjoyed by patient during and after their Asian medicine treatments, it seemed only fitting to call it "Acu-stoned". 

Acupuncture promotes relaxation by triggering a release of endorphins - our feel good hormone. In fact, certain point combinations are so effective at mellowing someone, I often inquire about a patient’s plans after their treatment before choosing which acupoint combination to use.

I love the the feeling of “walking a few inches above the ground” after I receive acupuncture. I notice that I meet with world with greater confidence and joy. At Bliss Healing Asian Medicine and Natural Health in Montpelier, I strive to offer a peaceful setting and nourishing treatments to so that my patients can experience the fullness of their whole being in its most relaxed and productive state possible. Bliss Healing is Central Vermont’s source for building core health and resilience through Japanese and orthopedic acupuncture, Asian medicine, nutrition, and Western herbalism. 

In case you are wondering, that is my hubby in the photo.

By the way, if you've never heard Bob Dylan perform "Everybody must get stoned", I encourage you to do a search for a video on You Tube. It is a fun and moderately raucous song that is worth a listen. Enjoy!
