I am grateful for one of my favorite products by Beautycounter...their body lotion! It is sooo smooth and leaves no messy streaks! This is one product I will not do without. There is not much scent to it (if any) which makes it perfect for anyone who is sensitive to fragrances (and you don't want to be putting on fake fragrances anyways). You can add essential oils or they have body oils that you can add a drop or 2 with your lotion. They have Jasmine as well as Citrus and Rosemary!

As 'sick' season rolls around we have many natural lines of defenses. At the office we can determine what works best depending on whether a person has a bacteria or virus. Elderberry Defense is something I take 2 a day of for immune protection and its a great antiviral. The other fantastic antiviral is something called Astragalus. It works in so many different ways to kill off viruses and helps the body to improve and give a boost to the immune system. Other uses are for autoimmune conditions because it helps to balance out the immune system instead of making it suppressed or overactive (which is the case of autoimmune conditions where the immune system is hypersensitive). Astragualus also helps to reduce the negative effects of steroids. Interesting isn't it! This antiviral and immune support is a great one to have on hand for the cold/flu season! I always make sure it is in my 'sick' cabinet.

Another favorite of mine that I am personally thankful for is... Lymphatic Drainage. This is a liquid product by Nature Sunshine. It is one of my personal favorites for anyone with puffiness, breast tenderness, water retention (around belly, ankles, wrists, etc.), swelling in the lymph nodes, etc. The lymphatic system is one that often gets over looked. It plays a huge role in your immune system and can hold on to toxins if it is not pumping correctly or enough. This can lead to toxin build up and can result in any of the symptoms above. I put a family friend on it who recently had a lot of lymph nodes removed due to breast cancer. She had swelling in her wrists and was told she had to wear braces on her arms because the swelling would never go away. Guess what... after a bottle of lymphatic drainage she saw huge improvement! She no longer has to wear her wrist braces (unless she is traveling). An amazing product. I personally used it for just general swelling and puffiness. After I did 3 bottles back to back I had thermography done and they saw NO lymphatic congestion in my breasts. She said that was very rare and I know it largely has to do with Lymphatic Drainage. A great product and one of my personal favorites.
I am thankful for... Sick Visits! They are a great way for patients to quickly see if they are battling a bacteria or virus and get a product that fights whatever they have. It takes me 2 minutes to see what you have and what's going to help kill it off! It's amazing how people run to the doctor and walk away with yet another prescription for antibiotics. Antibiotics kill off BOTH good and bad bacteria allowing the bad stuff to overgrow. Antibiotics are the #1 reason why candida (yeast) is so prevalent in our society and causing a whole different host of issues. (I'll save that rant for another day.) So if you are sick, no matter if it is a cold or flu, strep, UTI, cough, congestion, sinus infection, you name it... call in and we will be sure to get you in that day!! (615-656-3558) It costs $25 (that is usually less than an insurance co-pay) and we will be sure to send you on your way with something to kick the 'bug' (without antibiotics)! :)

With cold/flu season hitting us liquid Silver Shield is a popular product at our office. I want to talk about how fantastic Silver Shield gel is! We have recently had a few staph infections in (and one really bad one) that didn't heal after rounds and rounds of antibiotics. (Which suppresses your immune system anyway.) Silver Shield gel worked like magic. Silver Shield liquid is antibacterial and antiviral (even antiparasitic). The gel works just like the liquid but can be applied topically. It started clearing up staph infections extremely quickly in both cases. The gel is also great for breakouts, cuts/scraps, yeast infections, and any other topical issue. It basically acts as your natural 'neosporin.' A must-have for your natural medicine cabinet!

Migun (Massage Energy) Tables... how lucky are we to have these in our office! They are always included with every visit for free which gives you 15 minutes of rest and relaxation... and detoxing too! It feels like deep pressure therapy and a full body massage. They are inspired by acupressure, acupuncture, chiropractic, heat therapy and massage all rolled up into one! The best part is you get to relax for 15 minutes during your busy day. Sometimes that is easier said than done... but it is so beneficial for the body to turn your mind off and relax! Always make sure to hop on one of the tables at each visit. They are also available for sale by an outside vendor if you are ever interested. Let us know and we have the contact info at the office or you can visit www.massageenergy.com.
