the first e-newsletter of 2012 has been sent!

Hello all Herbal Path-ians!  We just sent out the first issue of our newsletter for 2012.  If you are on our email list, you should have received an email notification yesterday.  If you’re not an email recipient, you can still see all the great newsletter articles here on the blog:

January/February 2012 Newsletter

Also, as a special treat for bloggers — Dr. Emily Miller,  ND sent in a late submission for our newsletter.  We were not able to get it into our actual newsletter, but wanted to share it with you nonetheless.  And so, a few words from Dr. Emily!

***

Greetings in 2012 from Dr. Emily Miller, ND!
 
2012 brings new beginnings and with that often comes the re-evaluation of our visions and goals for the future. I invite you to take a few moments and create a vision for yourself in the future. Do you find yourself energized and radiant, rejuvenated and well rested, motivated and successful? Do you envision yourself playing with your grandchildren, taking up a new sport, or feeling and looking healthy? We have the ability to be all of this and more when we focus on our health and wellness. Naturopathic Medicine with its holistic and natural approach can help you to reach these goals and follow your personal path towards optimal wellbeing and vitality.

The first question I often ask my patients on their first visit is “What are your goals for your health and what are your expectations of me as your healthcare provider?” I also ask them to rate their commitment to their health. The answers to these three questions provide me with valuable information that helps me to treat the patient as an individual and not as their disease. The answers to these questions also help to guide our developing relationship as patient and doctor. This 2012, it is time to start having greater expectations of your healthcare providers and your treatment plans. 

Take a moment to make a list of all of the people that contribute to and are responsible for your health and wellbeing: your doctors, pharmacists, alternative health practitioners, Herbal Path staff, your insurance company, and most importantly and most responsible, YOU. Do these providers know and understand your goals? If not, then it may be time to enlighten them. As healthcare providers, we “provide” you with service. Make certain that you are receiving the service that you deserve from your healthcare team. Together we can support the growth of our current medical model into a model that services the individual and supports health and wellbeing in all.
 
In Great Health,
Dr. Emily Miller, ND

TUMERIC(Curcuma Longa)

Hey herbalees,

                 This is James the pharmacy intern here just wanted to touch base with all of our followers about a great herb you might not know of.  TUMERIC, this herb is most widely known for its benefits to digestion because of its ability to increase bile production from the liver.  We all must remember though that when we increase bile production from the liver this will lower our cholesterol so not only is our digestive tract getting a benefit so is our cardiovascular system. 

                 Some historical info is that tumeric is an ayurvedic medicine, a form of Indian Medicine thought to be effective in arthritis as well as inflammatory conditions!  Tumeric is made up of the rhizome, the medicinal part of the root.  Within the rhizome is curcumin which is the constituent that produces the anti-inflammatory effects.  It is believed that this is possible through curcumins ability to inhibit cyclooxygenase, which causes inflammation. 

                Saving the best for last tumeric is famous for its indications associated with reducing prostate and colorectal cancer development in men.  But watch out you blood thinning herb enthusiasts, if you’re on a blood thinner then tumeric might or might not be the herb for you, because of it’s anti-platelet effects which can increase the risk of bleeding.  If you do decide to use this herb while on a blood thinner make sure you watch those INR’s.

Signing off,

James the pharmacy intern
