Why nervous system health is a KEY component in the Full Spectrum Health approach

This week in my clinic I have been working a lot with the nervous system, as this is an integral part of holistic healing.

If a person is experiencing IBS, bloating or inflammation -it isn't enough to simply remove foods which are aggravating the symptoms, or adding in supplements.
