Dr. Erica Volk's Magic Socks (Warming Socks) Cheat Sheet!

1/10/2018

0 Comments

 
The magic sock treatment (also known as cold wet socks or warming socks) is a traditional naturopathic hydrotherapeutic technique that can help with a variety of complaints including headaches, migraine prevention, insomnia, cough and nasal congestion from upper respiratory infections like the common cold! It is safe for people of any age, and it works GREAT on kids! Some kids have even been known to ask their parents for their magic socks when they aren't feeling well! Follow this helpful how-to guide and try magic socks at home for yourself! For more tips on using hydrotherapy at home to help you and your family stay healthy, schedule a visit with me in Kelowna at Momentum Health by phoning 778-484-6070.

What's Lurking Under Your IBS?

1/9/2018

If you've been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome, or "IBS" by your general practitioner, here's a secret: there may be an underlying cause of your symptoms! What would life be like if you could go about your day without the daily bloating, heartburn, or, let's face it, embarrassingly loud and smelly bowel movements in the public washroom at work? How would that free you?

It turns out there are many underlying causes that NEED to be ruled out before a diagnosis of IBS can even be made. If your primary care doctor has not tested you for conditions like celiac disease, parasites, underlying intestinal yeast overgrowth, or food sensitivities, then my friend, there are yet stones to be unturned! EVERY person with an irritable bowel should make a visit to a naturopathic doctor! We are experts in this stuff, and we really LOVE to help people have normal, healthy poops, and flat tummies that don't hurt! To schedule a full evaluation with me in Kelowna, please phone Momentum Health at 778-484-6070 and I will be overjoyed to help you thrive!
