Naturally Detoxifying Vegetable Broth
By Toby Helmstetter, LAc
After all the sweets and partying, staying up late and exhaustion, I can't tell you how many people want to "detox" after the holidays. Chinese medicine is not a big fan of fasting, juicing, or herbal detoxification, especially in winter when our bodies need warmth and support, not deprivation.

Disease Theory and Progression in Chinese Medicine
By Toby Helmstetter, LAc
Every year, most people get at least one, and sometimes several, colds. Sometimes, especially in the winter, it may feel like there's a never ending string of colds, and it's easy to spend more time feeling sick or fighting off sickness, than feeling well. Our western paradigm gives us good information to help us understand what is happening when we continue to get sick--weak immunity coupled with strong pathogens and repeated exposure creates continual sickness. I thought I'd share with you, in honor of cold and flu season, what the disease paradigm looks like in Chinese medicine, and how to use that model to help you overcome colds and prevent recurrence.
