COVID-19 Update

Stay Well

Did you know that an important part of preventing spread of an illness is keeping yourself well? This prevents you from getting sick, from getting others sick, and prevents an illness from becoming more serious if one does get symptoms. In other words, there is a better chance to become only moderately affected verses becoming seriously ill. This saves clinics and hospitals from overload and keeps more supplies available.

So what can you do? Prevention.

Yes, self-isolation, social distancing, wash your hands, AND boost your immune system—increasing your vitality. We can help you with:

  • Focus on wellness rather than illness

  • Dietary Advice: What foods should I eat/avoid?

  • Herbs/supplements: What is best for me/what is available?

  • Breathing Techniques: Fortify your lungs and decrease anxiety

  • Qigong and Martial Art Practices: Strengthen your body, your mind, and your creativity. Join us on Wednesdays for Qigong!

Clinical Visits: Consultations and herbal prescriptions via Telehealth. (Treatments are less expensive than in person visits. ☺)

This includes boosting the immune system, reducing pain and inflammation and other forms of care to optimize mental, spiritual and physical health.”
