Solve Your Foot Problems First

Pain is our body’s way of telling us something is wrong, and foot pain is no different. But chances are that if your feet hurt, your back, legs, posture, knees, or hips may also suffer from poor foot function. The Bastyr Center for Natural Health physical medicine department can address all of these issues. Our practitioners use the latest technology to evaluate your gait and foot structure to determine if your pain can be alleviated with customized prescription orthotics. Take your pain seriously and schedule an appointment at Bastyr.

Bastyr Dispensary has developed five custom herbal teas, combining the healing properties of a variety of herbs to address various medical ailments and aid in your health. You can choose from Cold & Flu Tea, Relaxing Tea, Mineral Tea, Sinus Tea, and Digestive Tea. Stop by and stock your kitchen cabinet with healing teas for you and your family.

Fresh Air or Air Fresheners?
Perfumes, deodorizers, and scented cleaning products seem harmless enough to those not allergic to them. But a recent study finds that the chemical used in those scented products can actually be responsible for lung damage. Take another look at your stock of air fresheners, toilet bowl deodorants, or mothballs and reconsider your options in light of your health. Natural cleaning and deodorizing products that utilize enzymes instead of perfumes are available at Bastyr Dispensary and other natural health stores. You can also find nontoxic candles and soaps to bring the fresh scents of the outdoors inside.

Chew on This and Improve Your Digestion
Folk wisdom has dictated that food should be chewed thoroughly, even if it took some time. In today’s fast-paced world, many of us practically swallow our food without bothering to chew, and this has consequences for our digestive health. Especially for those who have gastro esophageal reflux disease or are dependent on the "little purple pill" (Prilosec) and antacids, extra chewing can make all the difference. Read advice from a Bastyr faculty member about the health benefits of thorough chewing.

Live Well to Reduce Stroke Risk
Now there’s yet another reason for women to watch their weight, get regular exercise, eat a healthy diet, and not smoke: a recent report suggests that these lifestyle choices protect women against strokes. It’s not news that such healthy habits are beneficial, but it’s good to know that science keeps proving it. Read about all the details on our website.
