WHAT IS YOUR BODY TRYING TO TELL YOU?

Our body often gives us signals when something is not quite right. Are you listening to it?

Discolouration in nails, dark spots or changes in shape can mean vitamin deficiencies. A headache could be due to problems in the neck, muscles, nerves, or vascular system. Just popping a pill to address the symptoms will not solve the root problem.

It’s important to treat the cause, not just the symptoms.

“The human body is a complex, multifaceted system. Why do we think we can treat an illness with medications alone? Illness is a sign that something is ‘off centre’ or out-of-balance. We need to address what is causing this imbalance before true healing can occur,” says physician and health writer Kristie Leong M.D.
