Thermography is a non-invasive test that uses an infrared camera to produce images that record temperature and blood vessel patterns. The temperature of abnormal cells is higher than normal breast tissue due to increased blood flow, and this is what the thermograph picks up. Additionally, newly formed or activated blood vessels have a distinct appearance, which thermography can detect. Thermography is useful not only as a predictor of risk factor for cancer, but also to assess more rapidly growing neoplasms. Because there is no radiation involved, thermography is safe even for pregnant and nursing women. For those with sensitivity to the heavy-duty compression (equivalent to putting a 50-pound weight on your breast) involved with the mammogram machine, the lack of pain associated with thermography testing will be a pleasant surprise.

Toning is a gentle form of sound healing that helps us to heal on all levels by using certain notes and vowel sounds. The vowel sound is held for a certain length of time at the same pitch, unlike singing where you may vary the pitch.

As the tones are sung, the chakras or our body centers respond. Using sound to resonate each center helps to “charge” those areas by increasing circulation, energy, and vitality. Quantum physics is suggesting that possibly disease in the body originates with disturbances in the electromagnetic field. Toning 3-5 minutes at each energy center helps “smooth out” the energy fields.
A system of medicine that originated in China and is used to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease and various health conditions. All TCM originates from the idea of qi, the body’s vital energy, which practitioners believe is key to maintaining health and wellness.

When those channels are blocked, however, the flow becomes disrupted and disease arises. All TCM treatments aim to clear blockages, thus restoring flow and balance. Examples of TCM methods include acupuncture, herbs, qi gong, acupressure, and massage.
