The Priceless Gift For Him!

Have you ever thought of giving Dad the priceless gift of health? Who doesn't enjoy a relaxing treatment of acupuncture and massage?

Have you ever thought of giving Dad the priceless gift of health? Who doesn’t enjoy a relaxing treatment of acupuncture and massage? Many of us never think about or talk about Andropause. Andropause?  Yes, it is not a typo it is a real word and a real progression of a man’s life. Everyone talks about and knows a great deal about Menopause. The public at large knows about menopause it is a woman’s nightmare if she doesn’t have the right information to deal with it. But not many people know or talk about Andropause (simply explained as the male menopause). It is a time of man’s development usually referred to as a midlife crisis. Shocking as it may be to some men, male menopause, or andropause, is becoming more widely recognized and accepted by physicians for the changes many middle-aged men experience — from energy loss to depression to loss of libido to sexual dysfunction. And some clinicians are recommending that certain men experiencing these symptoms, along with a host of others such as decreased bone density, hypertension, hyperlipidemia (hight cholesterol) and weight gain would benefit from an integrative medical approach. Acupuncture and Oriental medicine is able to increase energy, increase your libido, and lift your overall emotional wellbeing by relieving your mental and physical stress. Western medicine can offer some hormonal replacement and some medication therapy. Now many alternative health providers offer gift certificates and treatment packages. I have gift certificates available for my patients to give to each other and to friends and love ones. The priceless gift of health is not just for Dad’s and it has nothing to do with age. It is a gift that can help anyone on that path of healing. The gift you give today may prolong a life, or teach someone what a pain and a stress relieved joyful healthy life feels like. Your gift of health could reshape their health for the future especially if it is a new grad.
