by Andrew Pacholyk, MS. L.Ac Gift baskets are special baskets for special people when they are made with someone in mind. A gift basket works well all year long. For birthdays with birthday related items and birthday wrappings, for the Fourth of July with a patriotic theme and lots of red, white, and blue. What about Halloween?

by Andrew Pacholyk, MS, L.Ac. Spontaneous abortion, or miscarriage, is the loss of a fetus before 20 weeks of pregnancy. The most common cause of miscarriage is a genetic abnormality.

by Andrew Pacholyk, MS, L.Ac. The fact that there has to be a "day" for this disorder, saddens me, yet it is appropriate for everyone to be more aware and that is why, as a society, we do this.

by Andrew Pacholyk, MS, L.Ac. I am often drawn to the psychological aspects of any healing modality and essential oils are no different. Roses represent Love, Trust and Self-Acceptance. Originally from Asia, there are some 250 species with over 10,000 hybrid varieties. Only three can be distilled for their aromatic perfume.

It has always been an offering to my patients who come in during the week of Thanksgiving for treatment. I would ask them to take home this handout and to fill it out in their private time.

With the change of time and the decreasing amount of sunlight we get this time of year, research has shown that mid to late Fall brings mood swings and depression. It is not known why some people (those between 18 and 30) are more likely to suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.) and why it seems to affect women more than men ... unless the statistics are based on the fact that women are more...

Study Links Hormone Therapy to Higher Risk of Breast Cancer Death (Just another reason why alternative answers for HRT are so important!)
