Addictive BehaviourAny activity, substance, object, or behavior that has become the major focus of a person's life to the exclusion of other activities, or that has begun to harm the individual or others physically, mentally, or socially is considered an addictive behavior. A person can become addicted, dependent, or compulsively obsessed with anything. Some researchers imply that there are similarities between physical addiction to various chemicals, such as alcohol and heroin, and psychological dependence to activities such as compulsive gambling, sex, work, running, shopping, or eating disorders. It is thought that these behavior activities may produce beta-endorphins in the brain, which makes the person feel "high." Some experts suggest that if a person continues to engage in the activity to achieve this feeling of well-being and euphoria, he/she may get into an addictive cycle. In so doing, he/she becomes physically addicted to his/her own brain chemicals, thus leading to continuation of the behavior even though it may have negative health or social consequences. Others feel that these are just bad habits. Complementary Therapies
AcupunctureAcupuncture is about 2000 + years ago. There are 12 main meridians that encompass the whole body, giving a total of 365 acupoints. It's not unusual that the 12 meridians correspond to the 12 months of the years, nor the fact that the 365 acupoints correspond to the number of days in a year. Fine needles are inserted into the acupoints to activate the Qi. It is not painful and perfectly safe. During acupuncture treatment some acupoints will react differently to others. Usually a patient will feel a dull sensation around the needle. |
