Though the focus at Kaizen Healing Arts is on maintaining balance and well being, I recognize the need for individualized treatment options should disease arise. My aim is to support the body's inherent healing processes and to address the underlying causes of disease that render the body susceptible to ill health. Some examples of underlying causes of disease include sluggish digestion, inflammation, congestion, and excess tension. For instance, your body has natural mechanisms to rid itself of toxins that are built up and stored from foods eaten, environmental influences and lifestyle choices. When these processes function at sub-optimal levels it can set the stage for disease initiation or progression.
