Digestive Health Counceling Kitsap County

/

Chinese Medicine recognizes that a well functioning digestion is at the center of your health. Your digestion is like the engine of your car. It is responsible for Qi, Nutrition and Blood to your organs and muscles. 

Interestingly, Digestive Health isn’t usually the reason that people come to an Acupuncture treatment, but when going through the medical history, it usually comes up. The sad thing is that most people live with digestive problems when in TCM they are relatively easy to fix with a little treatment ,nutritional counseling and some tips on how to help support and strengthen our digestions.

Untreated Digestive Problems don't usually get better by themselves and can end up in Chronic Gastritis, Ulcers and serious intestinal disorders such as Diverticulitis and Colits. When the Spleen is weak, we see prolapse of organs (uterus, bladder, stomach), prolapse of the vagina as well as things like hemorrhoids (prolapse of the anus, PLUS bleeding also attributed to the Spleen).

We live in a Spleen deficient culture. We are constantly taking in information, and that information has to be processed by, you guessed it, the Spleen. We eat in front of the TV (taking in food, and stimulus at the same time), we are constantly looking at our mobile devices on the road and wherever we go, and we are always multitasking. Never doing just one thing at a time. And thus, we are overloading our poor Spleen.

Here are a few easy tips to help you get started on your own.

- Eat regular warm meals and avoid cold drinks!

- Eat mindful and chew your food!

- Eat according to the seasons!

Going Zero Waste Medicine Poulsbo, Kitsap County

/

Here at NatureWorks Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine almost nothing goes to the landfill. As there is no way in modern Medicine to go without sterilized packaging, the carbon footprint of an Acupuncture Clinic is minimal. All Acupuncture supplies are produced and shipped in minimal efficient packaging with multiple components per package. All packaging for Acupuncture and Herbs is ultimately recyclable.  Bottles for Herbal Prescriptions are sterilized and re-used many times. While used needles are considered a bio-hazard they could simply be melted down to become part of the metal recycling process in the future. The typical volume of needle waste of an average clinic is 1-2 Gal per year. An average Hospital produces 40 tons of medical waste a year (1). Although these statistics do not exist, Natureworks estimates that this equivalents to 4kg of waste per patient visit per year. This is compared to less than 1 gram of waste per patient visit per year at Natureworks.

Are you getting the Results your want?

Hi There, I often hear that people want to go "the natural way" when it comes to their health... The question is not so much natural or "unnatural" it is: what works for you! Are you getting the results you want with Western Medicine? Can they really heal you from Skin Disease, Infections, High Blood Pressure, Chronic Pain, Fibromialgia,  Irritable Bowl Syndrome and all the other disease labels?... or is Western Medicine just managing your Symptoms for years and years until all goes haywire? If you are on long term Medication and think you are healthy - think again! You need to deal with the root of the problem to really improve your health. Chinese Medicine is the only Medicine that can achieve long lasting changes. It simultaneously deals with the underlying physical, biochemical and psycho-emotional imbalances causing disease. The combination of Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, Tui Na Massage, Qi gong and Nutrition delivers a 'power pack' of therapy. Come and see a good Chinese Medical Doctor first and not last after you tried everything else...
