Our mind and body and spirit are interconnected.
Mind-body medicine works by effecting the stress responses of the body, mind and spirit with specific activities that you can do and incorporate into your life. These are tools that help you rebalance, which can lead to speedier recovery, improved immune response and better mental and physical health. A wonderful aspect is that there are many tools to achieve the same goal, and YOU have total control over what ones you incorporate and use and when you use them. These activities can help you get more control over your health.
