Who can relate? 🤷🏻‍♀️⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Does PMS have you feeling like a completely different person for 1-2 weeks before getting your period? But then as soon as you get it you’re like “Oh, this explains everything!”.⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Mood swings, bloating, low energy, headaches, insomnia, acne breakouts, constipation, food cravings...all common (but not normal) symptoms of PMS that can literally make you feel like you’re going crazy. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Your menstrual cycle is a good indicator of your overall health. Regular periods with minimal symptoms are your body's way of telling you that things are working as they should. Having irregular, absent, heavy, or painful bleeding, or major PMS symptoms, can indicate an existing underlying issue.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
You don’t have to suffer through literally half of your menstruating years. Find a Naturopathic Doctor who will listen and bring balance back to your cycle. ⁣⁣⁣

Warming Socks Therapy 🧦 ⁣
⁣
This is an inexpensive yet powerful home treatment that you can use when you or your little ones have a cold, especially if there’s a lot of congestion or fever. ⁣
⁣
It works by stimulating your body to increase blood circulation in order to warm up the cold socks. In doing so, it draws from areas of congestion from the head and upper respiratory tract. ⁣
⁣
What you need: ⁣
1️⃣ A pair of thin cotton socks⁣
2️⃣ A pair of thick wool socks (at least 80%) ⁣
3️⃣ Access to cold water ⁣
⁣
How to do it: ⁣
1️⃣ Soak cotton socks in cold water and wring out excess water so that it is no longer dripping.⁣
2️⃣ Put on wet cotton socks⁣
3️⃣ Put on dry wool socks on top ⁣
4️⃣ Go to bed, making sure you stay warm with covers overnight. When you wake up in the morning, your feet will be warm and socks will be dry. ⁣
⁣
The idea of putting cold socks on your feet may sound like a bad idea, but trust me, it’s not as bad as it sounds! ⁣

You don’t have to choose between conventional medicine and naturopathic medicine. ⁣
⁣
Many ND’s will work with your MD to create an integrated plan that supports your whole health picture to achieve better results. ⁣
⁣
We may have different approaches but open communication is key to proper patient care. You should never feel like you have to hide anything from anyone on your healthcare team. ⁣

This is after just 3 treatments. ⁣
⁣
Cosmetic acupuncture is incredibly effective for acne scars. This patient had tried it all before - peels, lasers, you name it, she’s tried it. ⁣
⁣
Cosmetic acupuncture works by creating micro-traumas that stimulate collagen production and increase circulation of blood and lymph to improve skin quality.⁣
⁣
Along with the facial needles, I also do body points to address any underlying issues you may have. ⁣
⁣
Feel free to DM me or leave a comment if you have any questions about cosmetic acupuncture! ⁣
