June Retail Special – Natural Defenses Against Lyme Disease
Summer in Minnesota gives us the opportunity to engage in all kinds of wonderful outdoor activities, from camping to boating to hiking to gardening. All that outdoor time and warm weather also means the arrival of Lyme-bearing ticks. These nasty summer creatures can cause all kinds of health issues if you are bitten by one. With that in mind, Healing River Chiropractic is offering discounts in June on a pair of natural products that combined can help you avoid getting bitten by ticks and boost your immune system if you do get bitten.
We’re discounting both 20% during June.
Most Minnesotans are very familiar with Lyme disease, but in case your memory needs a little prompting, Lyme disease can cause:
- Rashes;
- Fever;
- Headache;
- Extreme tiredness;
- Joint stiffness;
- Muscle aches and pains;
- Swollen lymph nodes;
- Neck pain or stiffness;
- Muscle weakness on one or both sides of the face;
- Immune-system activity in heart tissue that causes irregular heartbeats;
- Pain that starts from the back and hips and spreads to the legs;
- Pain, numbness or weakness in the hands or feet;
- Painful swelling in tissues of the eye or eyelid; and
- Immune-system activity in eye nerves that causes pain or vision loss.
The two products we have available to battle Lyme ticks are:
Bugs BeGone Insect Repellent from Emerson Ecologics
$11.50 regular price (discount price is $9.20)
Bugs BeGone is a DEET-free natural insect repellent, comprised of six different essential oils whose aromas, so pleasing and attractive to humans, keep the bugs away. The oils are combined in a synergistic way to magnify their effectiveness and then blended into a base of water, aloe vera, and polysorbate. The main essential oil is Eucalyptus Citriodora, or Lemon Eucalyptus, which has a fresh, sweet, lemon-like fragrance.
Additional essential oils in the repellent are rosemary, peppermint, catnip, lavender, and citronella.
As a bonus, this spray is also a deterrent for gnats, mosquitoes, horse flies, no-see-ums, and lots of other nasty warm-weather bugs. For best results, reapply every hour, or as needed.
Astragalus Complex from MediHerb
$41.00 regular price (discount price is $32.80)
This immune system support supplement from Standard Process MediHerb boosts your immune system naturally and helps you defend against Lyme disease if you are bitten by a tick.
Astragalus is a very important herb during warmer months and especially tick season. Astragalus is one of the best herbs for preventing contraction of Lyme disease. It can be taken daily as an immune strengthener proactively at 400mg/day and preventatively at 800-1000/mg/day for 30 days following a tick bite. Astragalus is generally safe for children and adults.
Astragalus Complex contains Astragalus, Echinacea purpurea root and Eleuthero to provide adaptogenic immune system support. These herbs have been traditionally used in herbal preparations to:
- Support healthy immune system function
- Support upper respiratory tract function
- Promote a healthy response to environmental stress
Pick up either (or both) products at Healing River Chiropractic. Or call us to order and we can ship it to your home. (651) 439-3737.
