Here is a great mix for heart health, blood pressure, high lipid levels and some good old-fashion stress reduction.  Put your mind at ease with this powerful trio of herbs.

Ju Hua

Shan Za

Go Qi Zi

I love Leo at Zen Habits.  He’s got it.  It isn’t what you can add to the mix, it is what you can take out that is more important.  I love treating stress-related disorders at our Chanhassen clinic with acupuncture, patients respond really well.  But when you go on your way and finish out your week, keep his thoughts in mind.

We have some super high-quality supplements in from Douglas labs.

So stop shopping at Target, GNC, etc…

Throw that stuff out.

We have multi’s, Cal/Mag, COQ10, Hawthorne, and anything else you can imagine.

In the hundreds of patients we have seen, Sandra and I got fed up with sending people to other places to buy sub-quality stuff.  And there are too many wasting money on binders and glues that hold this stuff together, thus your body can’t absorb all the “goods” listed on the labels.

As I write this myself at 5 in the morning…

But, I gotta say, I love the mainstream stories.  Our medicine is growing everyday.

Better Sleep

In our Chanhassen clinic we use a combo of herbs and acupuncture…that can be very effective for the hardest cases.

I like it when solutions are cheap and easy.  Nothing wrong with adding a little Cal/Mag/Vit D to your routine.

If you have questions on this or are looking to integrate acupuncture into your life, we would love to help.  Magnesium can help improve sleep and lessen the effects and instances of chronic headaches.  At our Chanhassen Clinic we advocate the use of some western supplements because they can be sooo effective and soo easy.

Acupuncture, Herbs, Dietary Therapy

Difficult problems solved with simple methods.

Often overlooked but it is a good place to start if you have health concerns.  Lack of sleep and fatigue are victims of circumstance too often.  So how do you get more restful sleep?  Make it a priority.  That is it.  For one week make getting adequate sleep a priority, above everything else…and guess what you will get what you want.  And pay attention how much better you feel even if you only get 2-3 good days in a row, that is a start.

For more focused tips…
