Have You Seen Our Back Room?

June 21, 2011 | Holistic Care, Uncategorized, Wellness Blog

If you have been a patient at our clinic, most likely you have been introduced to both acupuncture and herbal medicine. While we are known for putting needles in, we are not as well known for our expertise in Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine. Using natural materials, such as bark, roots, leaves and minerals, herbs have been used for centuries to strengthen the body and remove toxins. Initially used individually, herbal medicine in China evolved to complex formulas that could be individualized to treat the differences in illness from one person to the next.

Today, herbs come in one of three main forms;

Pills: these are the bottles you can see in our front office, the most mild form of herbal medicine, they are easy to take and gentle, good for using over the long term
Powders: a powdered version of herbal formulas that are dissolved into hot water to create a tea. A bit stronger than pills, powders are able to be somewhat customized and are easy to prepare
Raw: the grand daddy of all herbs, what both of the above are based on. Raw herbs are the strongest and most customizable of the herbal preparations. They

Yam & Black Bean Burritos

September 28, 2010 | Recipes, Uncategorized

A special thank you to Maggie Christopher, holistic health counselor, for this delicious recipe!

Yam & Black Bean Burritos (serves 4-6)

This combination of ingredients is so satisfying – a little sweetness with a little spice! I found just eating the filling with a side of guacamole and organic corn chips so easy and delicious. I noted the type of salsa I used because it turned out really well but feel free to substitute your favorite brand. Keep in mind that you want yams, not sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are the bright orange ones that you often eat at Thanksgiving. Yams are light yellow on the inside, a potato-like consistency with a mild sweetness.

Ingredients:

2 large yams, baked & peeled (not sweet potatoes!)

1 TBS olive oil

1 large onion

2 TBS seeded and chopped red bell pepper

1 small jalapeno, seeded and diced

2-3 cloves of garlic

1 cup seeded and diced tomato

1 cup tomato salsa (Glen Muir – medium)

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp ground cumin

1 (15oz) can organic black beans, drained and rinsed

2/3 cup chopped cilantro

2 TBS lime juice

½ tsp sea salt

1/4 – 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
