Hi Holistic Folks,
Just wanted to say that we survived "snowmaggedon" (one of the many nicknames given to the 20+ inch snowstorm that buried DC/Maryland this past weekend. Hope you all had plenty of Arnica for that muscle soreness. Shoveling snow, sledding mishaps and ice wipe-outs can cause injuries and discomfort. If you are needing a little (or a lot) of pain relief, give me a call and we will schedule an appointment for acupuncture. I was fortunate to be able to help a friend who threw out his back at work to achieve some acute pain relief. Mobility returns without the foggy-headed feeling of pain suppresents or masking agents.

Arnica is a good item to keep on your holistic shopping list, a general pain reliever that is not a harsh on the body as conventional drugs. It comes as an oral supplement or in creams and salves. Always consult your physician though if you are having any lingering pain or if you are unsure about your ability to take certain medicines or remedies.

Acupuncture in non-toxic and no allergic reactions, so I recommend a treatment if the winter obstacles of depression, flu or soreness from lower temperatures or injuries flare up.

Keep your eye on the Gazette for an ad that Poolesville Family Acupuncture that we are running this week and also a PR piece is due out soon on the Organic Market & Holistic Center of Poolesville.  You can follow our tweets on Twitter @itsbetter4you where we keep adding info as we are making progress.

Wishing you all warmth, great health and delightful experiences this week. Holistic Holidays to you all and I wish you an extremely prosperous New Year!
