Generative Health LLC

Stay Well! Here at Generative Health, we are cleaning and keeping up to date on the current recommendations both from the state, federal, and Chinese medicine community. We are currently asking that you let us know ahead of time, if you have been exposed or have symptoms before coming in. We are offering current patients the opportunity to schedule short free Naturopathic phone consults (https://square.site//7G/generative-health-llc-lancaster-pa) if they have concerns or n...eed recommendations for immune support. I have been getting a lot of questions about the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), and have been keeping uptodate with information for health care providers, so I am sending out a short note to my patients, feel free to pass it on. What you can do Wash your hands Notice, I didn't say sanitize. Soap is amazing against viruses and the act of hand washing for 10-20s with soap is usually preferred over hand sanitizer. On the go, hand-wipe cloths with either soap or alcohol are better than gel alone. If you need to or choose to make your own sanitizer or use alcohol directly on your skin, please use Ethanol (drinking alcohol), which is safer for your body. Commercial products do not use isopropanol (rubbing alcohol). Ethanol should be 60% or greater (120 proof) rum and grain alcohol are the most available. You can simple substitute this into one of the many recipes online. Consider adding a small amount of thyme essential oil if you have it, it is a strong antiviral, but not safe for digestion as an essential oil. Know when to avoid contact Avoid crowds and places with known cases According to the state website (https://www.health.pa.gov/to/disease/Pages/Coronavirus.aspx) , as of 3pm March 12th, in Pennsylvania (https://www.health.pa.gov/to/disease/Pages/Coronavirus.aspx) the majority of confirmed cases are in Montgomery county surrounding areas (Bucks, Delaware, Monroe, Northampton, Philadelphia, Pike, Wayne). If you live in one of those areas be especially watchful for cold-like symptoms, and avoid going places unless necessary. None in Lancaster county at the moment. Zinc lozenges These concentrate high doses of zinc in your upper respiratory region, and have been suggested to be of some use in reducing your risk of contracting COVID-19.

Warming socks are a part of what we like to call "The Wet Sock Treatment,"but calling it warming socks sounds way more appealing! This technique has now been popularized, but it's important to reiterate how this simple, at home technique can aid your immune health. This is especially important to start doing a few times a week, since the drastic changes in fall and eventually winter weather an cause seemingly overnight sniffles and scratchy throat to appear! This treatment wo...rks by increasing blood circulation, which stimulates the immune system. It can decrease congestion, improve sleep, and also reduce pain! _____ Directions: 1. Prior to putting on any socks either take a full body warm bath or soak feet/legs in warm water for a minimum of 5 minutes. Dry off well afterwards to prevent chilling. 2. Soak a pair of thin socks in ice water. Ring out and place over previously warmed feet 3. Place warm wool socks over top of wet socks 4. Go immediately to bed, and make sure you are in warm clothes with warm blankets to prevent being chilled. The goal is for our warm bodies to completely warm and dry the cold socks. 5. It is possible you will sweat more in your sleep. If this occurs, try to change clothes in the night to prevent the sweat from making you chilled. _____ When you wake in the morning, your thin, previously cold/wet socks should be warm and dry. _____ If you do have an acute cold, it is best to repeat the treatment for 3 consecutive nights at least! _____ For prevention, give it a try once or twice a week and monitor how you feel! _____ #naturopathiclife #prevention #fluseason #naturopathicmedicine #livenaturopathically #lancasterpa #lovelancaster #nutritiontips #precisionnutrition #generativemedicine #generatehealth #tcm #acupuncture #herbs #healing #traditionalchinesemedicine

Reminder our fall open house is coming up!

Have you ever sprained your ankle or had other ligament injuries you never quite recovered from? Today we wanted to share a chinese medicine product that we utilize heavily in our practice, and for good reason! _____ This product has great benefits during the 3rd, or sometimes 2nd stage of tendon and ligament injuries. Mainly, we use it to help people recover from ankle sprains, once they are no longer in the acute phase. ... _____ Due to its astringent effect and ability to tighten and strengthen lax soft tissue, this product works well when tendons and ligaments have been damaged, but are still in proper alignment. _____ Many people feel great improvement that last months after just one topical application! We do applications in office and also teach our patients how they can do them at home using this amazing formula! #naturopathiclife #naturopathicmedicine #livenaturopathically #lancasterpa #lovelancaster #nutritiontips #precisionnutrition #generativemedicine #generatehealth #tcm #acupuncture #herbs #healing #traditionalchinesemedicine See more

In Naturopathic school, these principles are ingrained into our education from DAY ONE. They are discussed in detail in the classroom, show up on random quizzes and tests [just to make sure], and are applied clinically every day. _____ These principles make NDs unique, the way our patients are treated as unique and are an attempt to progress the way diseases and prevention are approached in today’s healthcare system. _____ In a world with vastly growing access to technology, ...it is so important that we never forget the importance of face to face communication with our patients. To see a whole person in front of us and treat them as such is an irreplaceable exchange. These are the things we value.

This week is something our community holds very near and dear to our hearts. The excitement and energy it brings is extremely revitalizing and encouraging!

So thank you to all Naturopathic Medicine patients, whether you are ours or not! You have been patient, shared your stories, and let us into your lives. ______ One of our most cherished principles in our philosophy is "Doctor as Teacher" or Docere. While we hope to be wonderful teachers to our patients, we also learn so much from all of you who place your trust in us and share your intimate life experiences. We would not be where we are today without your support! #INM #NatMedWeek2019 #AANP
