Naturopathic appointments are now available with Caroline Bearss!

What is Naturopathic medicine?
A distinct primary health system that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine.

Treatment and prevention may include natural therapies: botanical medicine, clinical nutrition, hydrotherapy, homeopathy, naturopathic manipulation, lifestyle counselling, health promotion, and disease prevention.

While Caroline practices eclectically (she will work with any health concern), she additionally works with those suffering with depression, anxiety, SAD, eating dysregulation, insomnia, hormonal dysregulation, genetic predisposition to mental health illnesses, neurodiversity, bipolar, unipolar, OCD, dementia, PTSD/C-PTSD, as well as other mental health concerns.

In person, she uses Dark Field Microscopy, Auricular medicine testing, environmental testing and other functional laboratory and in-house testing to reveal “pieces of your health puzzle” of symptoms and system dysfunction. 

Caroline is currently accepting new patients for these services!

It’s important to keep up with preventive care and a treatment plan to ensure your yard and home are set for the winter!

Allie is now offering a new add on to your TCM & Acupuncture appointments!

Meet the MOXA LAMP! 🏮

A note from Allie: “The moxa lamp combines therapeutic far infrared heat with a round plate coated with 33 essential minerals to the human body. When activated by the built-in infrared heating element, the mineral plate emits a special band of electromagnetic waves ranging from 2 to 25 microns at an intensity that coincides with the wavelengths of the human body. These minerals are consequently absorbed deep into the body to encourage cellular healing.

Far infrared heat offers several health benefits, including pain relief, improved circulation, and detoxification. This heat penetrates deep into the body to speed up cellular repair and healing. Beneficial for acute muscle, joint, tendon and ligament injuries. May also help with Raynaud’s, menstrual cramps, fatigue, lower back pain, sleep disorders and more.”

Allie is now offering the infrared moxa lamp as an add on to treatments (no additional charges)!
