Forest Bathing: The Benefits of Being in Nature
by Dr. Nathan Armstrong
Have you heard of forest bathing? Also called “forest therapy,” it really just means spending time in the forest. But the term also refers to the health benefits we get by doing so. The concept comes from Japan, where, like in many other places, people recognized that they felt better and even physically healthier by spending more time outside in nature.
Our May supplement pick, ON SALE!
It isn’t too late…
to get your liver in tip-top shape…
LiverPro is an powerful formula designed to support healthy liver function. It contains a select combination of herbs and mushroom extracts, along with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), which together provide superb antioxidant support and liver protective/restorative action.
Enjoy up to 25% off LiverPro, while supplies last. Please mention the May Newsletter to receive the discount. Limit 2 per person. No Rx required. Not valid online.
Other liver support & detox tricks:
- Get plenty of rest.
- Drink nettle tea. There are plenty of nettles available in Whidbey’s (non-sprayed) backyards these days, for the daring and intrepid.
- Eat more garlic. The sulfur compounds in garlic are important for detoxification.
- Apply castor oil packs over the abdomen. Use cold-pressed oil, cover with a thin terry cloth, overlay a hot water bottle, and relax for 20 min while the castor oil works its magic.
- Avoid unnecessary exposure to chemicals: use gentler cleaning products.
- Undergo a cleanse or fast (consult your doc first).
- Take regular or infrared saunas.
IMPORTANT:
Due to the managerial shifts, clinic hours are changing a bit during the interim.
We’ll be open during these times:
Tues 9-12 & 1-7
Wed-Sat 9-12 & 1-5
Please stop by to meet Sonya (starting May 1) and Andy (starting June 12); we’d love to see you. And, we wish you all a wonderfully healthy Spring!
In health and wellness,
Dr. Jennifer & Team Reboot
Treating hormone imbalances will vary depending on the specific cause of the imbalance but may include dietary changes, herbal supplements, and homeopathic remedies. I will often use a holistic approach to treatment, which means that I take into account the whole person, not just the symptoms of the condition. This allows me to treat the underlying cause of the imbalance, as well as any other contributing factors.

Parasites are tiny organisms that live off other beings 🤯
When parasites infect our bodies (like tapeworms or ticks), they can start to wreak havoc and cause a range of symptoms, from fever and fatigue to intestinal problems, skin rashes, and even neurological issues.
Here`s what you need to know 👇
Parasites can invade your body through contaminated water, surfaces, bug bites, and by consuming undercooked meat.
Worried about fighting off unwelcome visitors? Your best defense is to guard yourself against parasitic infections on a daily basis by embracing good hygiene, ensuring that you`re drinking purified water, cooking food thoroughly, and applying insect repellant when needed.
