WHAT IS ABHAYA'S GARDEN?
Access to affordable health care, and to healthy food, are both crucial to helping a community thrive. We observe that too often in our society, healthy activities like eating organic local produce, as well as health care and alternative therapies, come at a price inaccessible to everyday people. Like the agriculture model, Community Supported Acupuncture and Abhaya’s Garden allow more people to be able to afford healthy activities.
This system strives to sustain a relationship of mutual benefit between a business, which provides a service, and the community. For more information on the roots of the agricultural model which inspired this clinic, please check out this wikipedia link.
This model encourages people to think about their health in a broader way –
TREATMENT OF ILLNESS
Come get a treatment when you have a flare up of aches or pains, or when you are coming down with a cold or allergies. While acupuncture can help us relax, it is not just for relaxation and stress relief. Remember, when we are less stressed, our bodies heal much quicker.
ACCESS TO REGULAR CARE
The best way to benefit from acupuncture is over the long-term. Of course, it is useful in small doses, so to speak, but the maximum benefit comes from when we are able to get treatment consistently, over time.
PREVENTION OF DISEASE
The best time to think about your health is when you are already healthy – as in the expression, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
AFFORDABLE TREATMENTS
Being able to afford treatment is central to being able to get regular care, and for all of us to make progress on our path to health.
