Let Food Be Thy Medicine

March 25, 2020Blog, Nutrition

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!

Winter Solstice Perspective

December 21, 2019Blog, Herbalism, Nutrition, Yoga

When I hear the same message coming from multiple clients’ lips’ I know it’s time to bring that theme to the surface so we can open it up for discussion. Though we find ourselves in a season that is full of celebration and joy for many, quite a few folks are confessing to feeling tired, anti-social, a little down, and like they’d rather just stay home in their cozy nest with a cup of hot tea and a good book instead of participating in the season’s festivities. Many even add guilt to the list for having these feelings in the first place during a time that they “should be” happy and more social.

Tips for a Happy, Healthy, Holiday Season

November 19, 2019Blog, Nutrition

‘Tis the season to get together with loved ones, eat, drink, and be merry! Unfortunately the holiday season also commonly includes a long to do list: planning menus, fighting the frantic store crowds, spending hours in the kitchen, overeating processed, “traditional”, holiday foods, over celebrating (you know who you are ; ), hunting for the perfect gifts, making room for house guests, and making it all look effortless with a smile on your face 🙂

Building Awareness About Chemical Exposure

February 3, 2017Blog, Nutrition

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.
