Putting acu care in the hands of school staff
Schools are high demanding and stressful places to work. We train teachers and social workers in techniques like acudetox for addictions as well as ear acupressure to help their students cope with stress, concentration, and anxiety. Students are eligible to become licensed in the state of NM as an Auricular Detoxification Specialist.
benefits of acupuncture within schools
Bringing Crossroads into your school allows your teachers and staff to take an “acu nap” on a work break. We primarily focus on ear points for stress management, addictions prevention and treatment including smoking cessation, anxiety and depression. Many schools offer acupuncture for students as well. We also specialize in pediatric care.
THE ACU NAP…
A sleepy state of euphoria and bliss where the body finds space to heal and rest with tiny pins. Side effects may include smiling and feeling truly content.
But…
how does
acupuncture
work?
Your body has an amazing ability to heal itself, but sometimes due to prolonged stress, injury, and trauma, we can get “stuck,” sick and develop systemic inflammation. You might have frequent anxiety, frustration, constant pain, irritability, an upset stomach & sadness. Using needles to communicate with your brain and calm your nervous system; by tapping into your body’s innate ability to reduce inflammation: our acupuncturist will direct the body where to heal itself.As the needles are inserted into the corresponding energetic pathways (or meridians) energy is unblocked, a new equilibrium is created, endorphins are released and the nervous system encourages healing.
