FACIAL REJUVENATION ACUPUNCTURE

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture (sometimes referred to as Cosmetic Acupuncture) is a safe, effective, non-surgical treatment to help reduce the signs of aging.

It is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine.   The procedure involves the insertion of very thin disposable needles into the acupuncture points on the face.   This will increase the local circulation to the face and stimulate collagen production, which will fill out the lines and give firmness to the skin for a healthy, glowing complexion.

INFRARED SAUNA THERAPY

Infrared light, which is not visible to the human eye, raises the body temperature and stimulates the breakdown of fat cells. Many environmental toxins are locked away in our fatty tissue making it difficult for our bodies to eliminate them. Infrared Sauna Therapy promotes the release of toxins and improves circulation in the body.

Traditional saunas heat up to, and over, 170 degrees Fahrenheit making it uncomfortable for any prolonged length of time.

NATURAL FLU PREVENTION PROGRAM

Our Naturopathic Doctors can help protect you and your family from the flu using a safe, effective and natural approach.

In addition to visiting a Naturopathic Doctor, here are a few quick and simple things YOU can do to help prevent the flu.

1. The most important thing to do is wash your hands many times throughout the day. This helps prevent spread of potentially harmful bacteria and viruses.

2. This season, try to treat your body well by sleeping for 7-8 hours a night. Sleep allows your body to replenish its resources and build strength to fight disease.

3. Remember, food is the fuel for your immune system - so eat a variety of fruits and vegetables. They have many scientifically proven immune boosting properties.

4. Reduce the amount of sugar you eat. Sugar decreases your body's ability to fight disease.

There are several natural treatments (eg. Echinacea ) available to help prevent and fight the flu. These treatments should be taken under the supervision of a Naturopathic Doctor.
