🚨 Flu A Is Here 🚨

We’ve already seen several patients in the office this morning testing positive for Influenza A, and cases are definitely circulating in our community.

What to know about Flu A:
🤒 Common symptoms:
• Sudden fever & chills
• Body aches
• Headache
• Fatigue
• Cough, sore throat, congestion
• Sometimes nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea (more common in kids)

How long are you contagious?
➡️ You’re typically contagious 1 day before symptoms start and up to 5–7 days after, sometimes longer in children or those with weakened immune systems.

Treatment options:
✔️ Rest and fluids
✔️ Fever reducers (Tylenol/ibuprofen as appropriate)
✔️ Antiviral medications (like Tamiflu) can help shorten illness if started within the first 48 hours
✔️ Supportive care to manage symptoms and prevent complications

🚫 Why antibiotics don’t work:
Antibiotics treat bacterial infections, and the flu is caused by a virus. Taking antibiotics when they aren’t needed won’t help you feel better and can contribute to antibiotic resistance.

📞 If you or your child have flu symptoms, high fever, worsening cough, shortness of breath, dehydration, or just aren’t improving — give us a call or come see us. Early evaluation matters.

Stay safe, wash hands often, and take care of yourselves!

❄️ ’Tis the Season… Cold & Flu Season 🤧

Runny noses, coughs, and sleepless nights are back — and so is the search for relief.

This season, consider a natural swap 👇
➡️ Skip traditional v***r rubs made with petroleum and synthetic fragrances
➡️ Try TallowKind — a cleaner, more natural option

🌿 Why we love it:
• Supports congestion relief naturally
• Gentle enough for kids & adults
• No harsh chemicals or petroleum

✨ Stay well, friends.

Flu season is here — breathe easy, naturally 🤧🌿

If you’re looking to swap harsh, mainstream chest rubs for something gentle, effective, and non-toxic, our Breathe Easy Natural Decongestant was made for you.

No burning.
No complaints from sick kiddos.
No overpowering fumes.

Just a simple, soothing balm you can apply to the nose, neck, chest — or even the feet with socks to help congested little ones rest more peacefully at night. Many families use it as a clean swap for Vicks with incredible results.

✨ Why it works:
• Tea Tree helps open airways while offering cleansing aromatherapy
• Lavender calms the nervous system and encourages restful sleep

Together, they gently support easier breathing the natural way — safe for daily use, and loved by both kids and adults.

When sickness hits your home, having something your children don’t fight you over makes all the difference✨🤍

🎉🎂 Happy Birthday to our New Year’s Day girl, Hayla! 🎂🎉

Today we’re celebrating one of the absolute heartbeats of our clinic — Hayla, our Red Light Therapy Tech, Medical Assistant, and little sister of the clinic 💙

We are beyond impressed by her work ethic, drive, and genuine compassion for people. She shows up every day with a servant’s heart and a willingness to learn, and it does not go unnoticed.

Hayla is currently in school working toward becoming a speech therapist, and we couldn’t be more excited to watch her chase her dreams. We already know she’s going to change so many lives.

Help us wish Hayla the happiest birthday and the best year yet! 🥳✨

💛 Endometriosis Awareness & Inflammation Support 💛

Endometriosis affects millions of women and is often linked to chronic inflammation, pain, and fatigue. While there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, lifestyle choices and supportive therapies can make a difference.

🥗 Foods that may worsen inflammation & symptoms:
• Highly processed foods
• Added sugars & sweets
• Fried foods
• Refined carbohydrates (white bread, pastries)
• Excess caffeine or alcohol

Focusing on whole, anti-inflammatory foods can help support overall wellness.

✨ How we can help:

🔴 Red Light Therapy – May help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and support tissue healing

🌊 SoftWave Therapy – Helps stimulate healing at a cellular level and may reduce pain and inflammation
Every journey with endometriosis is different, but supportive therapies can be a valuable part of your care plan.

📍 Walk-ins welcome | Appointments available
