Letting Go of Chronic Pain

Did you know that pain is not just a message from injured tissues to be accepted at face value, but it is really a very complex experience that is thoroughly tuned by your brain? We will begin by looking at what pain is, how it is similar to the check engine light in your car that never turns off. The problem is not your engine – it’s the light. We will learn how herbal medicine can reduce pain because of their natural anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Herbs have a long history of use for pain relief and this is now supported by scientific research. We will also explore how tuning forks, especially those with lower frequencies, can also help reduce pain by decreasing muscle tension, stimulating the release of endorphins and potentially reduce inflammation.
