Have you or a family member ever had a health crisis? Our family faced chronic disease / autoimmune illness with both of our teenage daughters. With the help of an amazing functional medicine doctor and her team, we discovered it is possible to not only reverse autoimmune disease, but prevent it from even setting in. The basics include understanding the root cause of the disease, and then addressing it with the help of a wellness toolkit.
Customized labs help you look past the symptoms and find the “root cause”. Knowing what you are treating makes all the difference. Obviously eating less processed foods, addressing vitamin/mineral deficiencies, and moving your body are all pieces of the healing puzzle. But there are some additional support tools that can be incorporated into a healing journey that are valuable and just as important in my opinion.
The wellness tools our functional medicine doctor introduced to our family include rebounding, castor oil packs, dry brushing, tongue scraping, coffee enemas, and red light just to name a few. Some of these wellness tools were new concepts and some of them made us raise our eyebrows, as I’m fairly confident they will you too. Do your own research to see if they are a wellness tool you can benefit by introducing into your own wellness toolkit.
Here are our family’s favorite wellness tools:
