W.O.W Natural Wellness stands for Web of Wellness and health. This blog is all about finding natural alternatives to treat health issues. This includes the use of Japanese and Chinese Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine and Manual Therapies to restore function in the body and to treat illness.
I grew up eating organic vegetables in the Andes Mountains of South America, where my neighbors routinely lived to be over 100 years old – largely by using natural alternative medicine and traditional organic remedies for most ailments. These remedies included herbal teas, mud baths, and other all-natural responses to wellness challenges. I watched my spry grandfather live to the age of 115 by eating all-natural foods including fried dried corn, cheese, eggs, chicharrones (fried pork), roasted pig, and beef jerky. Occasionally he would wash it all down with 70-proof aguardiente. My abuelito rode horses and got plenty of exercise at the farm, including working in the fields and climbing mountains.
Convinced of the value of the wisdom passed on from generation to generation in the Andes region, I set out to bring natural alternative medicine to other areas of the world – and to people around the world in search of natural solutions to their health problems.
After more than 30 years of work in health care, first as a Registered Nurse and then as a Physical Therapist and Acupuncturist, I have worked in several hospitals and have been in management for over 20 years -- including having my own clinic, where I see patients every day for physical therapy and acupuncture, using both traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture as well as Japanese acupuncture methods.
