Rush River Acupuncture & Traditional Medicine

Simple and profound!
It can be so easy to overcomplicate and jump on the ever changing newest health fad.
Really, though, it comes down to some real basic principles of holistic well being:
Drink well
Eat well
Move well
Sleep well
Play well
Be mindful
Be in nature
Simple concepts, not always simple to integrate.
If you are interested in shifting back to basics but do not know where to start, let's work on it together. I would be honored to support you on your path and learn with you.
Traditional medicine principles and acupuncture can be great allies to help you achieve your wellness goals so you can live the life you were meant to live.

We live in a culture of go. Sometimes it feels like before we are complete with our current task, we are racing on to the next thing. This go go go approach to life can rapidly deplete our ohysical health, mental health, and serenity. I am posting this as a reminder for myself, and for anyone else that resonates, to slow down and focus on the now. It is a miracle to observe how when I slow down and am mindful to the task at hand, I collectively am much more productive without feeling as depleted. I invite you to give it a try. And, I would love to hear you comment on your experience with this!
Acupuncture and traditional medicine can be a great gift for yourself to slow down, be present, and find clarity on your wellness path. I welcome any conversation and questions regarding how traditional medicine can help you to feel your best so you can live the life you were meant to live!

Feeling a loving reminder from my body today to reign in the busyness and rest.
Symptoms are your body's way of communicating with you. Our job is to listen and act accordingly. Not always an easy task but very empowering and effective to shift from a mindset of "pain sucks, I hate feeling this way" to "I feel you strongly pain, what are you trying to tell me and what do I need to do to help you move through me?" This is absolutely easier said than done and the best results happen with the support and guidance of others who have experience and training, such as a Traditional Medicine Provider.
You do not have to live in pain and discomfort.
You are not alone and do not have to figure everything out on your own.
If you ever have questions or are curious on how Traditional Eastern Medicine can help you, please reach out! Acupuncture, nutrition, herbs, and movement are all allies in helping you achieve your wellness goals so you can live the life you were meant to live!

Stop by the Henderson Healing Hub, this Saturday from 4-8 pm, to celebrate 10 years in business and enjoy a cup of Xiao Yao San herbal tea! Gretchen will be brewing the tea around 4 pm and it will be available until it’s gone!
This is a wonderful formula to help move stagnation that can accumulate in the body due to stress. Once the stagnation is cleared and your energy can move freely, your nervous system can regulate and you may notice a relief in symptoms such as neck and upper back tension, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. This formula is also very effective in nourishing the digestive system. When your digestion is balanced, the rest of your body can function with greater ease. With a balanced nervous system and decreased stress and tension you can wander through your days free and easily!
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday to celebrate the Hub’s 10th birthday!

The mind can be loud at times. Emotions can swirl.
Rampant or unresolved emotions and stress can quickly lead to dis-ease and pain.
If this feels familiar to you, you are not alone. And, you do not need to navigate alone.

* Guided meditation and breath work can help still your mind. You do not need to push uncomfortable feelings out, but are encouraged to be an observer to your thoughts and emotions. See them, embrace them, and then let them go.
* Acupuncture and body work can help communicate with your nervous system. It can help gently transition you out of fight or flight and into rest and digest, providing your body and mind the permission to relax so that it can remember how to heal. Your fascia can soften and your blood, fluids, and energy (qi) can flow. Your pain can release, allowing your spirit to rest.
* Daily movement can help support the movement and balance of your blood, fluid, and qi. Blockages manifest as pain and practicing gentle and consistent movement can decrease the space for dis-ease to grow.
* Eating warm whole foods, with consistency and mindfulness, can support the wellbeing of body, mind, and spirit. Nourish digestion to nourish the mind.

As a practitioner of Traditional Eastern Medicine, I use the wisdom and practice of traditional medicine to support you through your wellness journey. As a human on my own wellness journey, I am here to share my own experiences and learn from yours. The best progress occurs when we work together and I am grateful to walk this path with you.

Rush River Acupuncture is a safe space for you to find balance in your mind, body, and spirit so you can live the life you were created to live.
Book your appointment today to start a conversation of wellness that is tailored for your unique experience.

In gratitude and health,
Dr. Gretchen Forster , LAc DAcCHM
