The Center on High opened in February 1998 with a vision of 
providing holistic health services, classes, workshops, and 
community seminars on healthy living for body, mind and 
spirit. Each practitioner at the Center is an independent 
business, operating in cooperation with one another as well 
as sharing a similar worldview. We believe that through 
the availability of complementary health methods, each 
individual is encouraged to be a participant in his/her 
wellness, an empowering choice that assists the process of 
Wholeness. All sessions are by appointment only. To meet 
with a particular practitioner, call them directly at their 
number, listed in this information. 
 
Gift Certificates 
Center gift certificates are available by calling 
614-470-0550. In addition, many of the practitioners 
provide their own gift certificates by contacting them 
directly.

Allergy Scents 
by Tere Banks, Certified Aromatherapist 
 
As the weather changes, many folks experience ‘allergies’ 
in everything from hay fever, skin disorders, nasal and 
sinus congestion, and asthma. 
It is critical to determine the trigger of the allergic 
reaction and to eliminate that from the lifestyle when 
possible. However, aromatherapy can be helpful in 
alleviating the symptoms and reducing any stress that can 
aggravate those symptoms. Using essential oils also can 
offer protection by boosting the immune system.  
Essential oils that encourage the opening of the bronchial 
and respiratory system include eucalyptus and lavender.  
Encouraging a healthy immune system includes the use of 
frankincense, lavender and rosemary. Essential oils used 
for relief from stress are lavender, geranium, lemon, and 
bergamot. 
All oils should be used sparingly. Start with 1-2 drops 
per teaspoon of vegetable oil (almond, grapeseed, apricot 
kernel). 
 
 
What is Acupuncture? 
 
Acupuncture is a complete medical system that originated in 
China more than 2,500 years ago. It is based on the premise 
that energy ("Chi" or "Qi") circulates throughout the body 
along well-defined pathways, or meridians. When the 
meridians are blocked, the result is pain or illness. Tiny 
needles inserted along specific points on the body restore 
health by establishing a balanced circulation of energy.  
Acupuncture relieves pain and other systems of illness or 
injury and increase immune system response by balancing 
energy flow throughout the body. These points have been 
mapped by the Chinese over a period of two thousand years.  
Recently, electromagnetic research has confirmed their 
locations. Contact Center on High Acupuncturist Lani Lee 
for information on how acupuncture, Chinese herbs and NAET 
can help you!  
 
Natural Allergy Relief 
by Elaine Thomas, Holistic Life Coach 
As spring approaches, it’s a good idea to take stock of 
what herbs you have at home or in the office. One that I 
recommend having on hand at this time of the year is 
quercetin, a bioflavonoid made from buckwheat and citrus 
fruits that helps prevent hay fever, hives, and other 
allergic reactions.  
While quercetin is not as fast acting as prescription or 
over-the-counter medications, you also won’t experience the 
same range of side effects. Take it for at least six to 
eight weeks to get the maximum benefits.  
Combining quercetin with Vitamin C can provide a 
synergistic effect as well. I take 500 to 1,000 mg. of 
Vitamin C with it during allergy season. Quercetin is also 
a potent antioxidant and in combination with Vitamin C can 
help any type of allergic reaction.
