From the StillPointe Staff

December 9, 2010

Dear Patients and Friends:

As the holiday season approaches, we look forward to spending time with family and friends. It is a time of giving and thankfulness, and also provides us the opportunity to share our traditions as our community becomes more diverse. At StillPointe, we are especially thankful for YOU. We greatly appreciate that you trust us to take care of you and your families.

This month we also want to take care of our community with our annual gift and food drive for the Anna Maries Shelter. The details are outlined below, but the drive has been extended to December 15th.

This holiday season, we invite you to give the gift of health and relaxation. Purchase our special massage gift card for a one-hour massage and we will include a FREE upgrade of hot stones and aromatherapy . . . for just $59.00. See complete details below.

Our featured product for December is "greens," offered at 10% off for the entire month. Also remember that regular supplements are always 10% off on Wednesdays with a purchase of $50 or more. Plus we have a special "holiday sampler pack" of three oils that would make a great stocking stuffer for YOU or someone on your list.

As always, thanks for choosing StillPointe for your health. We truly value you and feel honored to be your clinic of choice, and appreciate your referrals! Remember to use your flex dollars before the end of the year. Most of our services at StillPointe are eligible for flex and HSA accounts. As a patient or client, we will provide you with a receipt and notice of a "medically necessary" service. Some plans cover supplements if they are part of a medical treatment plan (including weight management programs).

If you have any questions on our products, services or upcoming events, please visit our website or contact us. We wish you a wonderful holiday, and a blessed and abundant New Year.

Yours in Health,

Dr. Susan Saetre and the StillPointe Staff

FEATURED ARTICLE:

Crash, Bang and Bump!

With all the ice and snow during the past several weeks, we are seeing lots of you for back strain from shoveling and injuries from falls or car accidents. This is a good time to remind you that when you have a collision, even if it seems to only be a "fender bender," your body takes FIVE times the impact of your car, and sustains soft tissue damage that can cause problems to your neck and back for a long time. Make sure you come in to let us check you out. Your auto insurance covers 100% of your care without a referral. And your premiums cannot be raised for using your health benefits whether it was your fault or not. Your insurance will also cover you for non-collision injuries like going in the ditch, or hurting your neck when you swerve to avoid a collision. Give us a call and we will make sure you have a thorough evaluation and get the proper care.

Featured "Essential Oil Sampler" of the Month:

Each month we are selecting essential oils to feature, providing information on how specific oils can be used and the benefits. Plus we will have sample size bottles available for purchase. This will provide you with a way to try the different essential oils at a reasonable price, just $5.00, and to see how they work for you. Full-size bottles are also available.

   This month we are featuring a "Holiday Essential Oil Sampler," including three oils for $15.00:  peppermint, eucalyptus and lavender.   This would make a great stocking stuffer for some special people on your shopping list, including YOU, this holiday season.
    Lavender is best known for its relaxing effects and relaxing fragrance. A calming effect may be felt after a few drops are rubbed onto the feet. Placing a drop or two of lavender on your pillow at night promotes restful sleep.
    Peppermint has an uplifting, stimulating scent. It is best known for its properties to soothe digestion. Place 4-6 drops in the palm of your hand and rub over stomach and around navel to relieve digestive upsets. Peppermint also works wonders in a footbath to relieve tired, achy feet.

Eucalyptus has powerful antiseptic properties. It may be inhaled to reduce symptoms when a cold or sinus infection occurs. A drop or two may be mixed with a small amount of water to create a natural germ-killing mouthwash.

A good practice when trying a new oil is to dilute it and try it in a small area first. Peppermint should not be used on young children, infants and women who are pregnant as it is a very strong oil. More detailed information on this oil and how to use it will be provided at the time of purchase.

   We hope that you found this e-newsletter to be helpful and informative. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let our staff know at your next visit or you can e-mail us at:
