Homeopathy and Chronic Disease

Do you live with aches and pains because there is no other option? Homeopathy offers a holistic and complementary treatment to both chronic and acute diseases. It individualizes patient care by focusing on how symptoms of disease manifest in you, and not on the disease itself. Using homeopathy, chronic disease is manageable in a gentle, effective, and rapid manner. Homeopathy is an individualized branch of natural medicine that stimulates the body’s innate ability to heal. Each person manifests disease in their own unique way, so Homeopathy uses thorough case-taking to find the most individualized remedy for each patients symptoms.

Know the Skin You’re In

Your skin is unique, and it requires specific care to keep it looking and feeling great! There are four main skin types: normal, dry, oily, and combination. The most effective way of identifying yours is to study the appearance of the skin on your face a couple of hours after it has been washed. Skin must be free from any product. Normal skin will appear well balanced, while dry skin will feel tight and may have some flaking. Oily skin will likely have some visibly clogged pores, and combination skin will have some oilier areas (usually the t-zone) with some drier patches (usually on the cheeks).

Book Club: Whose Mind Is It Anyway?

Get Out of Your Head and Into Your Life by Lisa Esile & Franco Esile. Most of us spend our lives trailing after our minds, allowing our brains to take us in directions that are safe and secure, controlled and conformed. Whose Mind Is It Anyway? will help you learn how to separate what you want from what your brain wants and how to do less when your mind is trying to trick you into doing more. In a colorful, funny, and nonthreatening way, it answers the difficult question of how we can take control of our self-defeating behaviors.

It is said, we do what we know…

If we develop the knowledge at an early age to be active and healthy, the benefits will last a lifetime. The benefits of children’s activities can begin as early as 6 months old. Having children participate with trained experts can provide them with age specific skills that challenge them and build their confidence as they grow into their teens. With proper guidance children can have fun as they gain strength, balance, coordination, agility and flexibility while developing social skills, confidence and self-esteem. A child who feels good about him/herself has a jumpstart on the path to success!

Keeping Active In Your Golden Years

As our muscles atrophy (shrink) with age, our metabolism in turn decreases, as does our ability to live a high-functioning life. An exercise program can be started at any age to elevate your metabolic rate and improve things like your posture and ability to carry your groceries and other daily tasks with ease! Include strength training, balance, mobility, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance in your week. Be consistent with exercise to see the best results, such as a trimmer waistline or lower blood pressure. Ensure that you are working with a professional who has experience working with the older adult population.

Living life on Autopilot?

You are not alone, we have all had that experience of arriving somewhere in our vehicle and thinking “I don’t even remember driving here…” Or realizing our thoughts are on what to make for dinner instead of what your friend or boss is talking to you about. Sound familiar? Sometimes working on autopilot can leave us feeling empty. Here are some tips to combat these feelings: #1. Intentionally pause, and remember where you are. #2. Focus on your breath. #3. Be aware. #4. Gently guide your attention back to where you want it. These tips are great ways to ditch the autopilot setting and live with intention!

What is Bioresonance Therapy?

Bioresonance therapy helps with imbalances that are caused by environmental pollutants, toxins, irritants, and pathogens. It does this by activating the body’s ability to heal itself and regulate its processes. Besides reducing imbalances and helping the body to recover, bioresonance therapy can also help to identify and even prevent health problems. Some of the many conditions that can be treated with bioresonance therapy include allergies, acute and chronic pain, asthma, skin problems, stress/anxiety, energy blockages, and smoking. The number of treatments required depends on a number of factors, as each individual will have different needs.

SOS for IBS

Irritable bowel syndrome is a frustrating health concern for many people. There can be many contributing factors to IBS, such as food sensitivities/intolerances, intestinal bacterial imbalances, poor stomach acid, or inflammation. IBS seldom has one specific cause. There is usually an interplay of many physical, mental, and emotional factors that lead to symptoms. Naturopathic doctors are trained to assess all of these factors and connect the dots, and to address the root causes that lead to development of IBS over time. Naturopathic medicine can help those suffering from IBS find an individualized approach to managing their symptoms.

Don’t Get Kicked Out of Bed!

Have you ever been told that you kick a lot during the night? Or perhaps your spouse does. This could be because of Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). The nerve receptors in the bottom of your feet are hyper-sensitive, and this disorder is part of the nervous system that causes involuntary movement of the legs. RLS usually interferes with sleep and is also considered a sleep disorder. People with chronic diseases like Parkinson’s, diabetes, and peripheral neuropathy often experience RLS. Sleep is important, even more rest is important – for you and whoever you may be sharing your bed with.

More Than Just Hot Yoga!
