Like a domino effect, toxins and organic imbalances build up in the body, mind, and spirit, almost without giving space to think. The way of life and the daily pressures that arise for thousands of people in Argentina and the world are, from the point of view of experts at Psychological healththe basic factors when referring to the causes of high levels of psychological symptoms that require a responsible approach that continues over time and allows diving into the depths of existence to find the necessary tools and thus improve the quality of life.
