​

   I am offering  a series of  HERBAL MEDICINE classes on 3rd Saturday, and 4 different monthly Extension  classes on 4th Saturday.   Details: https://www.naturopathicschoolofannarbor.net/    We go all out to give a practical, hands on, sensory experience with students making formulas and able to take them home. 

 

   MASSAGE AND BODYWORK  THERAPIES   - I offer a "series rate" for clients who will be coming regularly and want to save some $!  It is $570.00  for a series of 6.  Therapeutic additions - such as a poultice or castor oil pack- are 15$ per pack .  Adding a brief herbal consult while you here- set it up ahead of time, it is 30$.

​

​

    Have an Eye Pillow at home is a wonderful helper for rest, preparing for a deeper sleep, beginning or going deeper into meditation or "mental floss" practices.  I meditate lying down and it works fine for me.  I have used eye pillows for many years in my practice for clients.  They are affordable, usually filled with whole flaxseed, and come with a pillow case that, itself, if washable.  Ideally they should gently drape across your eyes.  WHAT THEY DO: encourage ocular and facial muscle release , which is very restful, and block out light. 

​

Various kinds of infused honeys are so soothing to the throat.  I chop 1/4 cup ginger , and add to a pint of honey to infuse a few days to use. You can add a little hot pepper to open up circulation a bit.  A little sliced onion may thin mucus.  Strain it all out after a few days and store.  Use a raw honey!  If the honey you have is too thick to pour, as mine was the other day, just place the bottle in some hot tap water  for a half hour. 

​

DOUBLE MAGNESIUM CREAM- what is it? As I make it, it is a simple cream with double the amount of magnesium chloride salts dissolved into either purified water or an infusion of herbs- intentional so that it is therapeutic.  For myself and clients, it is a very  effective deodorant without the chemicals that commercial products have in them .   My clients often buy it to promote deeper sleep as well!  I sell it in the apothecary and make it to special order . A little goes a long way.  


  A NATURAL MEDICINE APPROACH - a simple example:  
A very simple illustration for using your knowledge of natural medicine in everyday health concerns :

Person A has a pain in their lower abdomen. That can concern anyone.

Person B also has that pain.

Person A applies a little simple anatomy knowledge and and guesses it could be trapped gas.

Person B just goes to a doctor or Urgent care and spends a lot of time and money "figuring it out" . They remain scared and uninformed .

Person A Takes 1 teasp. of baking soda in water, drinks it, and it disappears within ten minutes. Voila- it was gas. Now- Person A did not necessarily know for sure that would be the remedy, but that certainly did not hurt anything ! Now, maybe their Naturopath advised them, or maybe they had a class helping them learn these things. Which I recommend we all do!

Person A also gained information about themselves. - that perhaps they need abdominal self massage, and/or to look at their diet , and/or do a couple castor oil packs to clear debris in the colon.

Feel free to leave your comments or questions or call me, 734-769-7794. I can set up a brief consult if your case is relevant and does not require actual conventional medical attention.
