Five Elements
of
Self Care

 "I created an online class, The Five Elements of Self Care, to share the wisdom that Chinese medicine has to offer. This time in history is tricky and calls for self care beyond the typical external actions we usually think of. Chinese medicine is a godsend because it makes sense of being human, never more so than right now. It helps you to inhabit your body, manage your mind and connect to your spirit. It's an intro class - only an hour and $25 - with mini lectures on the elements and downloadable prompts for self care and journaling. Since I can't do in person treatment right now, this is my offering instead. Chinese medicine has given me a road map for navigating life at its most difficult times and I'm honored to share it."
Abby Humphrey, Acupuncturist

Corona Virus (Covid 19)

 ​ Advice for self-care:
​

1. Don’t panic. The likelihood that you will get sick is low, though the likelihood that more people will get sick in the US is high.
2. Reduce your risk of getting sick by washing hands regularly for at least 20 seconds in warm soapy water, washing communal surfaces at work frequently (counters, door handles, faucets). Use your own pen for writing at stores and banks etc.)
3. Keep up to date on the status of the epidemic by consulting Michigan Department of health and Human services website (michigan.gov) or CDC.gov and search “coronavirus or COVID-19.
4. Be prepared and willing to follow health department regulations if the virus does spread to our area. That means schools, daycare centers, some businesses may need to close temporarily to halt the spread of the virus. Talk with family and coworkers about this possibility.
5. If you have symptoms of the flu or other fever and cough, do NOT come in to the doctor’s office. Supportive care at home with fluids and rest and cough and pain medicine for symptom relief is the only therapy. Do NOT go to work or school until you have recovered completely. Stay away from family members and pets as much as possible – 6 feet away or more is best. We will write doctor’s excuses as needed. If you must go out to a store or other public place go only for a short time and wear a mask at all times when out.
6. If you are very ill (with shortness of breath, inability to eat) then you need to be seen at the hospital. Call the emergency department before going, to alert them, and wear a mask at all times until you are in a germ-control room there.
7. Consider taking Airborne or Emergenc-C or other zinc and vitamin supplement daily and get plenty of rest. This epidemic will be self limited in time, just like SARS and MERS and the flu epidemic f 1917 – we just want everyone to stay as healthy as possible as it runs its course!
