Let Food Be Thy Medicine

March 25, 2020Nutrition

There’s no arguing that this is an unusual time. With all the changes we’ve had to make in order to adapt in such a short period of time it’s no wonder that many of us are feeling stressed & maybe even a bit anxious, right?

At China Rose Wellness we’re focused on channeling this energy into taking positive, nourishing action! In addition to following recommendations about staying home, spatial distancing, & hygiene practices it’s empowering to know that there is SO MUCH we can do to be proactive, diffuse our stress, and bolster our immune systems! A foundational place to start is with our food choices because the way we fuel our bodies determines both our mental and physical health. It’s the perfect time to let food truly be our medicine!

We find ourselves in a challenging time as news of the Coronavirus has inundated our daily experience. Involuntary time off from work & school, cancelled events, small businesses under stress, bold headlines, passionate opinions, excitability percolating, emotions rising to the surface… Let us stop a moment and take a big, collective, deep breath so we can gain some perspective.

Vital Holistic Approaches for Fire & Smoke Exposure

October 12, 2017Blog, Herbalism

Our hearts grow heavier by the moment as we watch the progression of the California fires. We’re sending love and a huge bubble of protection to surround family, friends, clients, homes, businesses, our beloved open spaces, and all the brave, dedicated people on the front lines. If there is any positivity that comes from a catastrophe like this it is the strength that has arisen in our community and the support that we provide one another. We can feel the love!

We love granola like most folks, but we’re sorry to break it to you: most of the granola you’ll find in stores is kinda crappy from a health perspective! We know, you thought granola was a health food, right?

We all know that we should be eating more dark, leafy greens. The top reasons include:

1. They’re a dense source of nutrients, especially vitamin A, C, K, magnesium, copper, potassium, iron, & antioxidants

Building Awareness About Chemical Exposure

February 3, 2017Nutrition

Many of us don’t realize how many man-made chemicals we are exposed to throughout the day. If when we get up in the morning we shower using shampoo and conditioner, brush our teeth, style our hair, cook our eggs in a non-stick pan, put away some of our children’s toys, and take a big whiff from our new Glade plug-in, we’ve already been exposed to so many chemicals that our livers will have their job cut out for them.

Nourishing Bone Broth

I don’t know about you, but when it starts getting cold outside, warm and nourishing soup immediately comes to mind. I not only love the fact that you can pack a lot of nutrition into a compact, one pot to wash meal, but you can clean out your produce bin in the process!

It’s one thing to make a huge long list of new years resolutions, but it’s definitely another thing to follow through with them. If you only commit to making one positive change this year, focus on drinking plenty of water: the most important nutrient in your body.

There was an article that caught my eye in the October/November edition of Fit Pregnancy called “Doctors Debate Thyroid Testing”. The author pointed out that while newly pregnant women often go through a lot of screening, that few of them ever got tested for thyroid issues.

Seasonal Stress?

December 5, 2016Blog, Herbalism

Unfortunately, for many of us, stress is an uninvited guest during the holidays. It can be hard to balance the the normal, day-to-day duties on top of planning social engagements, looking for the perfect gifts, baking, menu planning, and hosting family from out of town. I think we can all agree that the financial aspect of our holiday causes stress as well.
