June is Men's Health Awareness Month, and it's crucial for men to have a health support system in place. When compared to women, men visit the doctor less frequently, have shorter visits, and often only seek care when their illness is in its later stages. This is a big problem and can lead to an increased risk of chronic diseases, including prostate diseases, Type-2 diabetes, heart disease, and thyroid problems. These issues can often stem from ignored problems such as hormonal imbalances, which include low testosterone and erectile dysfunction.

Asula's Naturopaths can work with you to provide a whole-body holistic approach to help address any current health issues and to help prevent new or worsening health issues. Naturopaths routinely work with men to address:

✨ Prostate issues
✨ Sexual dysfunction
✨ Hormone imbalances
✨ Heart Disease
✨ Diabetes
✨ Chronic pain
✨ Depression / Mental Health
✨ Stress management

Our Naturopaths would love to be a part of your care team. If you would like to schedule with one of our Naturopaths, you can contact our Pearl District office at (503) 719-5335, or our Lake Oswego office at (971) 330-8578

If you've never heard of manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), you're not alone. But you're missing out on one of the gentlest, most restorative therapies your body can receive. Unlike the deep pressure of a traditional massage, MLD uses light, rhythmic, sweeping strokes that follow the natural pathways of your lymphatic system. The touch is so soft it almost feels like nothing is happening, until you notice that the puffiness around your eyes is gone, your stuffy sinuses have cleared, and you're sleeping more deeply than you have in weeks.

Your lymphatic system is your body's internal cleanup crew. It moves fluid, immune cells, and waste away from your tissues and back into circulation. Unlike your blood, lymph has no pump and it relies on movement, breath, and muscle contraction to keep flowing. When it slows down or backs up, you feel it: swelling, sluggishness, brain fog, recurring colds, breakouts, heaviness in the limbs.

MLD gives that system a gentle nudge. By stimulating the lymph nodes and guiding fluid along its proper routes, a trained therapist can help your body decongest, detoxify, and reset.

MLD has a long, well-documented track record for post-surgical swelling and lymphedema, and it's often prescribed after procedures like mastectomy or orthopedic surgery to speed healing and reduce bruising. Beyond clinical use, people turn to it for chronic sinus congestion and allergies, water retention and bloating, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, post-viral recovery (including long COVID), acne and dull skin, anxiety and poor sleep, and that vague but persistent feeling of being "off."

If you've been feeling puffy, run-down, foggy, or simply curious about a gentler kind of bodywork, this is the season to try it. Your lymph will thank you.

Andrea is offering MLD sessions at our Pearl District office on Thursday mornings. Call us at (503) 719-5335 to schedule with her.

Have you had a chance to work with our Chiropractor, Dr. Shannon, yet?

Dr. Shannon’s interest in health began in high school where she spent a year collecting data on nerve cells at the University of Albany and co-authored a research paper on fetal alcohol syndrome. She set her sights on pursuing a future in the allopathic medical field but made a drastic career change as a junior at Cornell University after shadowing a chiropractor. The field of chiropractic care resonated immediately with her, as it centered on the body’s natural, powerful ability to heal itself and focused on finding the cause of a patient’s condition versus simply treating the symptoms. Dr. Shannon graduated from Cornell and went on to earn a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from the University of Western States.

Dr. Shannon provides quality care for patients with all types of pain, from acute to chronic, and patients of all ages. She is certified in a chiropractic technique specifically designed for pregnant patients, the Webster technique, and has advanced certification through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA).

Her treatment style is diverse and incorporates a variety of techniques based upon the preferences and needs of her patients; she is skilled in both the high-velocity diversified adjusting style as well as several gentler options, including activator-assisted and drop-table. She focuses a portion of every treatment on muscle work by utilizing a combination of trigger point massage, stretching, guasha, and taping. In addition to in-office treatment, she prescribes personalized at-home rehabilitation exercise programs and regularly educates patients on ergonomics, diet, physical activity, stress and anxiety reduction, and effective sleep habits.

Dr. Shannon works at our Lake Oswego location. Give us a call at (971) 330-8578 to schedule with her.

Have you incorporated Dry brushing into your routine? Dry skin brushing energizes the lymphatic system, which is responsible for draining cellular waste, fats, pathogens and other substances from the body while transporting immune system agents to where they are needed.

The main objective of dry brushing is simply to create some movement and stimulation throughout your body. It's hard to go wrong, but there are a few simple guidelines to keep in mind.

For starters, skin brushing is best done before bathing, with dry skin that is free from lotion or oil. Allow 3-5 minutes to brush your entire body. Then, follow these simple steps:

⭐ Stand in the bathtub/shower or on a towel to avoid getting flaky skin on the floor.
⭐ Using gloves or a natural bristle brush to stimulate the skin and lymph.
Keep the direction of the stroke always toward the heart.
⭐ Use long sweeping strokes on the arms and legs (toward the heart and lymph nodes), and circular strokes on the joints (shoulders, elbows, knees, wrists, hips, and ankles).
⭐ Massage from the feet upward, continuing to the torso and then to the neck.
⭐ Massage from the hands to the shoulders.
⭐ Massage the stomach and buttocks in circular clockwise motions.
⭐ Apply light pressure where the skin is thin or sensitive and firm pressure on thicker areas like the bottoms of the feet.
⭐ Take a cool shower after dry brushing and apply oil or moisturizer to your body.

Give it a try and see what improvements you experience in skin health and energy.

Massage therapy isn't just about relaxation, it's about coming back into your body.

So many of us move through the day holding tension we don't even notice anymore. Tight shoulders, shallow breath, that low hum of stress in the background. Over time, it adds up.

Massage creates space for your nervous system to reset. It helps your body shift out of "go mode" and into a state where healing, repair, and real rest can happen.

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is slow down.

If you would like to book massage, you can reach our Pearl District office at (503) 719-5335 or our Lake Oswego office at (971) 330-8578.
