Ancient Medicine. Modern Times. An Introduction.

Welcome to our little corner of the blogosphere. My name is Kate and I’ll be your tour guide around the world of ancient medicine and alternative healing techniques. I’d like to stress that I’m a regular person with a busy life, slightly hypochondriac tendencies and a daily struggle to resist the urge to choose french fries over the side of vegetables. I guess what I’m getting at is that I have the same issues and daily stressors as most other people do, but over the past six months have seen a dramatic difference in my life since making my health and well-being priority number one. By following a healthy diet (that does include the occassional, delicious junk food), exercising and undergoing acupuncture treatments, I have felt the wonderful confidence of a woman who feels she can accomplish her goals, push stress aside and still have time for fun along the way.

While I don’t have it all figured out, I intend to learn more about all sorts of alternative medicine, herbal remedies, exercise practices (including the famous yoga and pilates), and other ways to feel great (i.e. reiki, massage, homeopathy, music therapy, energy healing, hypnosis, meditation, ayurvedic medicine and much more, and yes, there’s more)!

Now, since I’m going to be your tour guide, I figured I needed a little guidance as well. This is where we meet Terri. She is an acupuncturist, herbalist and massage therapist with multiple degrees and a Master’s in Traditional Oriental Medicine. Even though I do extensive research (I’m a research nut), she’s here to make sure I’m on the right track. She also can provide a lot of other interesting information that only comes with a degree and close to a decade of experience in the alternative medicine field. I mean, did you know about tongue or pulse diagnosis?! More on those topics a little further on down the road.

Terri and I will also recommend products along the way. Most likely we will receive commission for any sales of products on our site, but please know that we will only feature products that we really find worthwhile and fabulous. And don’t worry, we will always be honest about these types of posts with a little logo at the bottom of the entry that looks like this:
