Healing Innovations pioneered the use of the SCENAR in Asheville. SCENAR is the holistic treatment that is changing the world of pain relief. This powerful biofeedback process provides effective relief for both acute and chronic pain without drugs or invasive procedures. Athletes find they rapidly recover from sprains, strains, and overuse issues, as well as seeing it improve their performance in their training programs. Those who have suffered with chronic pain for years find the treatments give them relief and return function they had lost long ago. There have never been any documented side effects in over 50,000 case studies.
SCENAR is a small, hand-held device that stimulates the body’s own healing mechanisms by activating the nerve receptors in the skin, and triggering the release of endorphins and other natural peptide chemicals (the body’s own internal pharmacy). Through biofeedback, an interaction is formed between the device and the body, thus establishing an “interactive dialogue” to correct body dysfunctions and relieve pain. The device itself does not heal the body, but rather alerts the body to mobilize its own healing forces. Acute injuries usually take 1-5 sessions, chronic conditions can take 5-15. During treatment, recipients feel gentle tingling sensations and often experience a sense of well being and relaxation.
Healing Innovations has helped hundreds of people with pain from acute injuries and chronic conditions since 2005. For more information see our website at www.biohealingweb.com or call us at 828-337-6854. If you mention finding out about us from our blog, we will give you a free 30 minute session.
Over the last five years of working with people in pain, a curious phenomenon has emerged. Frequently, I will notice that a number of clients will show up in the same time period with the same condition. Recently, it has been something called “Trigger Finger.” It is similar to Carpal Tunnel syndrome where the little tubes, or sheaths, through which the nerves and tendons move in the wrist become inflamed, scarred, and narrowed, impinging on the nerves and tendons themselves, and causing pain, tingling, and restricted flexibility in the hand. The tendons also become inflamed by traveling through the narrowed and scarred passageways. In “Trigger Finger” the sheaths and tendons in the palm of the hand become inflamed causing one or more of the fingers to get “caught” in the bent position. When straightened out, the client feels a “popping” sensation as the inflamed tendons are freed from the restriction of the sheath through which they travel. Often a bump or nodule can be found below the affected finger or thumb. Today’s lifestyle involves much more fine motor activity of the hands, most notable being the use of the computer and cell phone. The structure and function of the hands is often compromised by this increase in fine motor activity. Without ergonomic adjustments, the pressure of this sustained activity over time can create inflammation and damage. 
In researching this condition, I found a nutritional support for the work I do with the SCENAR. Read more »
With the near epidemic Norovirus going around, we thought it would be good to send out some nutritional tips to keep your immune system healthy. If you own a SCENAR dose your thymus gland (located at the suprasternal notch between the collar bones) at least once a day. You can also stroke your upper belly (above the navel) and look for stickiness. If you find any sticky spots, dose them. In any case, wash your hands a lot! Alcohol does not kill the Norovirus, only chlorox does, so hand sanitizers don’t work.
There are 12 foods that are recommended for boosting the immune system:
1. Unpasteurized Grass-Fed Organic Milk - raw, organic milk from grass-fed cows contains beneficial bacteria that prime your immune system and can reduce allergies. It is an outstanding source of vitamins, especialy vitamin A, zinc, and enzymes. It also ocntains beneficial fats that will help your immune system. To find a raw mile supplier closest to you, go to RealMilk.com. If you live in Asheville, you can contact a collective that gets grass-fed raw milk from South Carolina at Ashevillerawmilk@yahoo.com.
Whey Protein – you can use a high-quality whey protein that comes from grass-fed cows to receive much of the same health benefits as you get through raw milk. Whey protein can help you fight off colds and flu because it contains beta-glucans and immunoglobulins, which protect your immune system and support your body’s natural detoxification process.
2. Fermented Foods – If you are serious about boosting your immunity, then adding traditionally fermented foods is essential. One of the most healthful fermented foods is kefir. Kefir is an ancient cultured enzyme rich food full of friendly microorganisms that balance your “inner ecosystem” and strengthen immunity. Ask around to connect with someone who can share their culture with you. It isn’t hard to make, and soon you will be looking for folks to give your extra culture to. Another excellent fermented food is Kombucha. A local company, Asheville Kombucha Mamas, sells it under the name “Buchi”. You can get it at Earth Fare or Greenlife grocery stores or you can call them at 828-450-1537. Friendly bacteria have a powerful, beneficial effect on your gut’s immune system, your first line of defense against pathogens, and aid in the production of antibodies.

Healing Innovations was an exhibitor at the Organic Growers School this past weekend, providing free demonstrations of the pain relief that can be achieved by using the SCENAR. It was an amazing weekend of meeting incredible people and getting to experience the lovely UNCA campus during the best weather in months!
Our demonstrations, which went on non-stop for two days, were wonderful fun with people experiencing relief after only 10 minutes of treatment. We stopped a migraine headache, relieved numerous issues related to neck and shoulder tension, and improved knee, elbow, back, and hand pain. By Saturday afternoon, people were coming up to us and saying, “I was told by a friend to come here and experience your amazing treatment!”
One of the best things about it was being next to Asheville Kombucha Mamas who were also exhibitors there. Their “buchi” was incredible. It was great for us as grandmothers to be around the beautiful children of the two “mamas” who have that business. They have their Buchi at Earth Fare and Greenlife. We would recommend you try it!
If you are interested in organic and growing food organically, we would recommend also that you make this school a priority to attend next year. You won’t be disappointed!
There seems to be quite a bit of interest in using the SCENAR for improving appearance. It is a non-invasive, gentle, and effective way to treat issues with the skin including the effects of aging and scars.
The skin is a highly complex system that comprises the “interactive surface” between our internal and external environments. As we age, toxins built up over a lifetime are stored in our tissues, and the appearance of the skin reflects that with loss of elasticity, wrinkles, “age spots,” and other blemishes.
Cosmetology using the SCENAR is a process involving 15 to 28 consecutive days of treatments. The focus of the first week is cleansing the body of the toxins. If the muscles are carrying a high toxic load, they cannot hold the re-education that is created by the SCENAR treatments, so cleansing and detoxing has to be the first step. Diet must be simplified to whole vegetables, fruits and grains, limited meat (especially red meat), no sugar, dairy, processed foods, or caffeine. Drinking plenty of water helps the body eliminate toxins. SCENAR protocols done during this time are focused on cleansing, detoxifying, purifying, and balancing the body. It is only after this cleansing is done that the protocols for lifting the face are begun.
Unlike the conventional face lifting procedures of western medicine, the aim of the SCENAR treatments is to purify and heal the body, which will be reflected in healthy, glowing skin. The procedures done to reduce wrinkles will last as long as the body’s lowered levels of toxicity are maintained.
Thus, using SCENAR in cosmetology, not only improves appearance, but also improves overall general health and vitality as well. But, the process requires a commitment to high quality self-care to achieve the most effectiveness. The spring and fall are the best times to initiate this treatment process.

From working with SCENAR, I have learned that healing occurs when the parasympathetic aspect of the autonomic nervous system is operating. The action of the SCENAR brings this about. However, there is much we can do in our everyday lives to create the state of mind that occurs when the parasympathetic system is flowing. Here are a few ideas:
- Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.
- Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if you have to.
- Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and less that is manufactured.
- Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, wild salmon, broccoli, avocados, and almonds.
- Try to make at least three people smile each day.
- Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
- Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
- Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
- You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
- Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil your present.
- No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
- Frame every so-called disaster with these words: “In five years, will this matter?”
- Forgive everyone for everything.
- What other people think of you is none of your business.
- However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
- Stay in touch with your friends.
- In this present moment you will notice that you have all that you need.
- Practice gratitude in every situation, no matter how you want to judge it.
- Try the loving kindness mantra: “May I be well. May I be at peace. May I be happy.” Say it enough to yourself that it takes up residence in your thoughts.
You can enter Parasympathic Mind, lower your stress level, help your body heal, and find more happiness by changing your attitude.
