Fire Cider is an oxymel for cold and flu season and is used to support the immune system, stimulate digestion, and relieve congestion. It is a versatile tonic that can be used in salad dressings, as a shot, or diluted in hot or cold water. If you want to experiment and make your own tonic, here’s a great Fire Cider recipe from :

HERBAL ACADEMY’S BASE FIRE CIDER RECIPE

🌶️ 1 large red onion, chopped
🌶️ 3 heads garlic (Allium sativum), chopped
🌶️ 1 organic lemon with peel, diced
🌶️ 1⁄2 cup fresh ginger (Zingiber officinale) root, grated
🌶️ 1⁄2 cup fresh turmeric (Curcuma longa) root, grated
🌶️ 1⁄4 cup fresh horseradish (Armoracia rusticana) root, grated
🌶️ 1⁄4 cup fresh thyme (Thymus vulgaris) aerial parts, chopped
🌶️ 2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper (Piper nigrum)
🌶️ A few fresh cayenne or jalapeño peppers (depending on how spicy you want your fire cider, you might use more peppers, or omit them altogether—it’s better to err on the side of caution because you can always make it spicier later!)
🌶️ Honey to taste
🌶️ Raw apple cider vinegar

Has anyone else read James Nestor's book, Breath? We couldn't believe how much new information was learned while reading this book.

James highlights a breathing exercise called Resonant Breathing, and it is a specific breathing technique that aims to synchronize the body's physiological systems, particularly the respiratory, cardiovascular, and nervous systems. It involves inhaling and exhaling slowly and deeply, often with a specific rhythm or count. The ideal timing is to breathe 5.5 seconds in and 5.5 seconds out without pauses in-between.

Give it a try and incorporate it as many times as you can throughout your day! The health benefits of incorporating this breathing technique can include:

Stress reduction: Resonant breathing can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for calming the body and reducing stress.

Improved sleep: By promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety, resonant breathing can improve sleep quality.

Increased heart rate variability: This technique can help regulate the heart rate and improve its adaptability to stress.

Enhanced focus and concentration: By slowing down the breathing rate, resonant breathing can enhance mental clarity and focus.

Improved mood: Studies suggest that resonant breathing may help alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety.

It was the fascination and beauty of our natural world that originally drew Dr. Colleen to Naturopathic medicine. Now, as a doctor, she strives to harness that natural healing power to create individualized and holistic treatments for her patients. Her ultimate goal is to spread the knowledge of health and wellness, enjoy healthy, nourishing foods, and wake excited about the day ahead.

Colleen's calling to become a natural healer started at a young age when she was given a small section of her mother’s garden to grow herbs. Understanding the magical healing powers of nature became more prevalent as she grew and spent time exploring the great outdoors. Her path led her to Oregon State University, where she was a Biology major with a minor in chemistry.

As she started looking into different medical schools, she took some time to do a work study program at Herb Pharm in southern Oregon. Here, her knowledge of medicinal plants grew, and her drive to pursue naturopathic medicine blossomed. She was accepted into the naturopathic program at the National College of Natural Medicine. While at NCNM she got a vast background in medicine with an emphasis on women’s health. After graduating, she completed a 2-year certified post-doctoral residency training with A Family Healing Center, which emphasized primary care and pain management.

As a family practitioner, she has extensive training in women’s health, pain management, cardiovascular disease, nutrition counseling, thyroid management, hormone balancing, and injection therapies including Prolotherapy, PRP, Microneedling, and Neural Therapy.

If you would like to schedule with Dr. Colleen, give our Lake Oswego office a call at (971) 330-8578.

When it comes to relaxation and stress relief, many people turn to traditional table massages. While table massage can provide comfort and alleviate muscle tension, there’s another form of therapy that has been practiced for centuries and offers unique benefits: Thai massage. Rooted in ancient healing traditions, Thai massage combines the benefits of physical therapy, acupressure, and yoga, delivering a truly holistic experience that can help you feel rejuvenated, flexible, and balanced.

Unlike traditional table massage, where you typically lie face down and the therapist works on your muscles with oil or lotion, Thai massage takes place on a mat on the floor. The recipient remains fully clothed in loose, comfortable clothing, and the therapist uses a variety of techniques that combine rhythmic pressing, stretching, and gentle joint mobilization. This dynamic approach not only targets sore muscles but also improves flexibility and enhances energy flow throughout the body.

Thai massage can help to:

🧘Improve Flexibility.

🧘 Increased Energy

🧘 Relieves Muscle Tension

🧘 Stress Reduction

🧘 Better Posture and Alignment

We offer Thai massage sessions at our Pearl District office with Katherine, Chance, and Riley. Give us a call at (503) 719-5335 to get scheduled.
