Clinic Christmas Charity Offer

When it has come to the spirit of Christmas and the holiday season, we all tend to get caught up in the rush of buying gifts and presents for our family, friends, and loved ones. However, some of the most meaningful gifts you could ever share with someone is when you give to those who have less than you.

That is why we have partnered with Tabatha’s Way and will be offering a special deal when you bring in 6 items from the list that this charity organization needs, or 2 boxes of diapers, to provide to those who are in desperate need. This season really is about giving and that’s why we’ll be giving away FREE Acupuncture Treatment Sessions when you DONATE!

Keep reading for details and instructions on how you can support this jolly cause!

To give a little background, Tabatha’s Way is a privately operated non-profit organization that operates completely on donations from the community. Their purpose is to provide food supplies and other services to help families and individuals in their time of need and to do so with respect and dignity to those they serve.

To help motivate our community to give to those who are less fortunate than yourself, we are going to be offering a special holly jolly deal that you don’t want to pass up!

In addition to feeling the spirit of the season of charity when you donate items, we’re going to be giving away additional free sessions to anyone who donates at least 6 items from the list or 2 boxes of diapers.

Back in October, we were offering everyone 1 additional free session when you purchased a 5 treatment pack and 2 additional free sessions when you bought a 10 pack. We’re bringing back this offer again this holiday season. However, we’re going to be offering a second deal on top of our original offer. This time it is going to be with a little charity twist…

In addition to our original offer, this Christmas season and until December 22, if you bring into the clinic at least 6 items or 2 boxes of diapers to donate to Tabatha’s Way, we will be adding an additional free session to your original purchase deal! That means when you purchase a 5 pack, instead of just getting 1 free session, you’ll be getting 2 free sessions! Likewise, if you donate and purchase a 10 pack – you’ll be receiving not just 2 free sessions, but 3 free sessions to your package deal! These treatment sessions can be a holiday gift for yourself, a friend, or a family member!

For those of you who wish to just donate items to the cause without purchasing a pack for the free sessions, you’re more than welcome to bring them into the clinic and it will be equally appreciated.

What better opportunity than to purchase the gift of improved health while supporting your community and the less fortunate!

The Link Between Lung Health and Nerve Growth

Have you ever thought about how the air we breathe affects more than just our lungs? It turns out, your lungs are super important not just for breathing but also for keeping your brain and nerves healthy.

Imagine your body is like a car engine, and oxygen is the fuel that keeps everything running smoothlyWithout enough fuel, things start to break down. Well, the same goes for your bodywithout enough oxygen, your brain and nerves might not work as well as they should. 

Did You Know?

Did you know that just a 1% drop in oxygen saturation can impair cognitive performance by up to 10%? Imagine you’re hiking up a high mountain, where the air is thin and oxygen is scarce. You might experience brain fog and find it hard to think clearly—this is because your brain needs steady supply of oxygen to stay sharp. But it’s not just about high-altitude hikes. Oxygen affects your daily life in surprising ways:

  1. Feeling Dizzy After Standing Up Quickly: Ever stood up too fast and felt lightheaded? This happens because your brain isn’t getting enough oxygen for a moment.

  2. Struggling with Focus During a Tough Workout: If you’re working out intensely and feel like your concentration is slipping, it might be due to lower oxygen levels in your body.

  3. Waking Up Groggy: If you have sleep apnea, you might wake up feeling tired because your body wasn’t getting enough oxygen during the night.

“Inhale and Exhale to Stay Calm”: Ever notice in movies how characters are told to breathe deeply to stay calm? This is because deep breathing helps get more oxygen to your brain, which can help clear your mind and improve focus.

What Happens If You Don’t Get Enough Oxygen?

If your lungs aren’t doing their job properly and your blood isn’t getting enough oxygen, you might face some serious problems:

  1. Fatigue: Feeling tired all the time because your body isn’t getting the energy it needs.

  2. Shortness of Breath: Struggling to breathe easily, even when you’re at rest.

  3. Cognitive Issues: Difficulty concentrating, remembering things, or making decisions.

  4. Headaches: Frequent headaches due to low oxygen levels in the brain.

  5. Mood Changes: Feeling more irritable or down than usual, as oxygen levels affect your mood.

How Lung Health Supports Nerve Growth and Brain Function

Okay, let’s break this down into simpler terms. Think of your lungs as a big air pump. Their job is to take in oxygen from the air and put it into your blood. This oxygen-rich blood travels all over your body, including to your brain and nerves.

  1. Brain Power: Your brain needs a lot of oxygen to think clearly and learn new things. Healthy lungs make sure your brain gets the oxygen it needs to stay sharp.

  2. Nerve Growth: Just like plants need water to grow, your nerves need oxygen to stay healthy and grow. With enough oxygen, your nerves can work properly and repair themselves.

  3. Memory and Learning: Good oxygen levels help you remember things and learn new skills more easily.

Tips to Keep Your Lungs Healthy and Boost Oxygen Delivery

1. Breathing Exercises

What to Do: Try deep breathing exercises like diaphragmatic breathing. Breathe in deeply through your nose, letting your belly expand, and then slowly exhale through your mouth.

Why It Works: Deep breathing helps improve lung capacity and oxygen flow. Aim for 5-10 minutes of deep breathing exercises twice a day.

2.Stay Hydrated

What to Do: Drink plenty of water throughout the day—about 8 glasses (2 liters) daily.

Why It Works: Water helps keep mucus thin and easier to expel, improving lung function.

3.Eat Lung-Friendly Foods

What to Do: Include foods rich in antioxidants, like berriesapples, and leafy greens. Omega-3 rich foods like fish and flaxseeds are also great.

Why It Works: These foods help reduce inflammation and support lung health. Try to eat at least one serving of these foods daily.
