NEW YORK, NY, October 14, 2008
/24-7PressRelease/ -- So much of Western medicine in psychiatry involves taking medication. However, licensed acupuncturist in the state of New York, Mika Ichihara feels there is an alternative to popping pills to alleviate one's depression or anxiety.
"In the Western world, the health/medical field is highly specialized," Mika Ichihara said. "If you have depression, you may usually visit a psychologist or psychiatrist. If you develop a digestive problem, then you may usually see an internist."
Often medications are prescribed and more times than not, the patient experiences some sort of side effect—which may lead to more medications prescribed to alleviate these unwanted effects.
At Love & Compassion Integrative Health and Healing—with the traditional Eastern healing—she can identify the root cause from which all symptoms and conditions manifest themselves on physical, psychological and emotional levels.
"My practice is to find the root cause and offer the most appropriate techniques to activate and achieve one's own total healing," Ichihara said.
In this modern society, millions of Americans suffer from psychological conditions such as depression and anxiety. Usually they are given medications to help with these symptoms, but often they experience such effects as loss of appetite, weight gain, or sexual dysfunction.
For these reasons, we have seen a rise in the pursuit of alternative healing modalities such as acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, Reiki and other energy/spiritual healing.
When new patients go to Love & Compassion Integrative Health and Healing, they usually ask Ms. Ichihara what she can do for them. She then determines what modality is best for each individual.
"If the patient complains of depression, I will usually offer either acupuncture as the more established Eastern healing technique or Reiki as the more energetic and spiritual healing technique, depending on the person's openness and preference.
"I have developed the ability to assess the person's conditions from multi-dimensions, such as medical, mental, emotional, energetic and spiritual levels, and am professionally equipped with such natural healing techniques as acupuncture, Chinese herbs, Reiki and other forms of Energy Healing, Meditation, hypnosis, regression, spiritual healing and Feng Shui."
