Welcome to
Dr. Melissa Carr's
February 2012 Newsletter.

Happy Love and Appreciation Day!
 

Okay, so I know that it's really called Valentine's Day, but isn't it really about showing that you care for the people around you? I think that February 14th can be a fantastic reminder to spend time with the people you love most and show your appreciation.

So, THANK YOU for helping me to continue to LOVE what I do!

February is also known as "heart health" month, so I've written a short blog on TCM and its connection to the heart.

I recently did a talk on stress and its effect on your health. Did you know that stress increases your risk for the #1 killer? Did you know that increasing your social connections can reduce your stress? Did you know that ahhhhhhcupuncture (read like a sigh) can help reduce your stress, both in the short-term and the long-term?

I've decided to start focusing on writing more regular short blogs about various health topics and I'll send you a list of my topics in my newsletter so you can click on the titles below to learn more. My most recent and relevant blog and past newsletter topics are:
 

- What to do after the flu

- I heart TCM

- Foods for Dealing with Stress

- Heart your Breasts

- Allergies: Help! ... remember that spring allergy season is just around the corner. Start preparing your body soon to lessen the impact.
