Optimum Health France
Optimum Health
Optimum health is substantially more than the absence of illness and disease.It can be described as the finely tuned functioning of all the organ systems of the body, the total physical, psychological and spiritual well being of an individual.
There is an essential dynamism to good health, and the human organism has a tendency to return to a dynamic state of balance. But many aspects of everyday life create stressful situations that disturb this state of internal equilibrium, requiring the body to make changes and adapt.
This state of “adaptation” cannot continue indefinitely since it requires considerable energy. In the body, as in a chain, the weakest link breaks down under the stress of adapting to the demands made upon it and illness follows. Traditional Chinese medicine is able to restore balance and equilibrium to the internal functioning of the body and thus avoid degenerative changes and disease.
Complete recovery from prolonged illness, injury or surgery is substantially improved by Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment. The benefits include increased mobility following orthopaedic surgery, reduced risk of infection, prevention of adhesions following abdominal surgery, regained vitality and appetite and the return of a natural sleep pattern.
It is essential to good health and longevity that the human body has the ability to achieve a state of total relaxation. Many people are over stimulated, overworked, under nourished and lack the ability to rest.
Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment can facilitate a state of relaxation, allowing the body to regenerate its innate powers of self healing, thus invigorating the immune system resulting in an improved resistance to disease.

"Our body heals best when we’re living in the present. When we’re truly present, we can remain healthy. But most people tie up most of their energy in wounds from their past, while the rest of it is consumed by worrying about the future."
Dr Christiane Northrup
For many women illness is the only socially acceptable form of taking time out and resting. Our society is set up so that taking a nap in the middle of the day to recharge and renew ourselves is frowned upon as hedonistic or irresponsible, but getting the flu is a socially acceptable way to rest. This can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Self healing, becoming well and maintaining good health takes energy. Understanding this concept holds the key to true healing, rather than just masking the symptoms.

Second Spring
Pathway to the Menopause
“After the harvest and the fruits of the summer’s work have been garnered there comes to nature in the late autumn one last brilliant flare of beauty in a generous outpouring of colour and vividness. The leaves do not just fade and wither and fall. Their death and decay are inevitable, but before they pass and are swept away into winter and death, they put on their most gorgeous dress in a final riot of life.”
M. Esther Harding MD MRCP - The Way Of All Women.
The menopause is not a disease of deficiency as women are so often told. Quite the contrary, it is an intelligent homeostatic mechanism on the part of a woman’s body, the menopause actually slows down the ageing process in women by conserving blood and yin energy.
Gynaecology is an area in general that Chinese Medicine excels. Menopausal women need not believe that they are doomed to years of hormonal nightmare, pre-menopausal women need not anticipate with dread the menopausal years. All women, however, need to act with intelligence to bring their being into a state of health whereby menopausal discomforts may be reduced or eliminated.
Treatment at the Centre will include individual help with issues related to the menopause in order that this important stage in life can be as free as possible from despair, confusion, loss of self-confidence and physical discomfort.
Corporate Creative Breaks
For design and management teams
Science is now discovering that the physiologic states associated with conventional success in the outer world of achievement are often quite different from the physiologic states that favour the formulation of original design and creative ideas.
Creativity arises mainly from the right side of the brain and involves a different kind of thinking from the usually dominant left side. The mode of processing by the right side of the brain is rapid, complex, spatial and perceptual.
By gaining access to the part of the mind that works in a style conducive to creative and intuitive thought, in an environment unencumbered by daily routine tasks, people are able to maximise their potential.
By combining Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment with periods of intensive creative activity, people are able to fully liberate their creative potential. Traditional Chinese Medicine is directly applicable to the task of freeing human creative activities
