SERVICES -- detail
 Natural Health Clinic -- two Appointments 
Health assessment & traditional herbal medicine recommendation.
A visit to the clinic typically includes medical history, physical examination including blood pressure and pulse taking, and urine testing. It also includes a follow-up appointment in approximately four weeks.
You can expect recommendations toward lifestyle changes, vitamin and mineral supplement suggestions (we suggest'em, we don't sell them), food changes and nutrition variations, and a traditional herbal medicine determination unique to the individual.
[Holistic Note: The person as a whole determines the medicine: the disease does not determine the medicine.]
- Nutrition & Dietary dialogue -- one Appointment
Dietary assessment & nutrition recommendation.
This service can range all the way from an evaluation and a dietary adjustment determination to simply an hour long dialogue exchanging ideas, opinions, and  values on food, weight loss, and nutrition.
This service can also cover all aspects of "fasting" for health gain or toxin elimination. Learn a seven day vegetable-juice based "first fast" and simple "food combining" for improved health. Also, receive monitoring and coaching support during your fasts while using our other cleansing services such as sauna therapy or colon hydrotherapy.
- Colonic -- by appointment
Colon hydrotherapy (also known as colonic irrigation and colonics) has traditionally been used to allay fevers and reduce pain in acute-care situations. It is used at Arcady Holistic, primarily a chronic-care clinic, to eliminate bowel toxins which provoke and worsen chronic ill-health conditions. Colonics are also a simple, effective method for helping to restore tone to the bowel.
 
Our colon hydrotherapy room is equipped with shower, toilet, and sink for your convenience and privacy. We use a Colonet Pro 5 unit which has double water filters and ultra-violet sterilization; and we use disposable speculums.
- duration approximately 1 hour
- certified colon hydrotherapist
- member International Association of Colon Therapists (I-Act)
Those on medications or suffering post-operative procedures: for your safety please consult with your physician as to their potential ill-effects and limitations.
Just phone for an appointment. We do not charge for cancellations ... we know life happens.
Exclusions 
None with active ulcerative colitis will receive colonic treatments.
Visceral Manipulation -- by appointment
Visceral manipulation is performed here to re-establish normal abdominal organ position. Organs may be out of position due to the pulling and constricting actions of adhesions caused by surgery or injury. Visceral manipulation encourages proper function and motility of organs, can help with adhesion stresses placed upon the musculo-skeletal system, and can influence the general metabolism.
- 1/2 hour procedure
- No scents or body products, please.
- No food and No fluid two hours before procedure.
Those on medications or suffering post-operative procedures: for your safety please consult with your physician as to their potential ill-effects and limitations.
- Sauna Therapy -- by appointment
The skin is a major organ of toxin elimination. Arcady Holistic's special dry sauna therapy is designed to improve toxin flow through the skin making both the body and the skin healthier.
Note: this service is for Arcady Holistic clients only. A referral is required.
- special toxin-elimination regimen

Those on medications or suffering post-operative procedures: for your safety please consult with your physician as to their potential ill-effects and limitations.

SAUNA DRESS CODE
The purpose of the sauna is to promote perspiration. To facilitate removal of perspiration from the body nudity is recommended though loose shorts or a wrap may be worn, and a loose top for women. Towel substitutes are also very good.
 It is a courtesy to not create big pools of sweat on the floor or benches. A towel is always required for sitting on or leaning over. The good news is Arcady Holistic provides towels!, but you may bring your own if you wish. [Wash your towels in plain water without detergent (or special scent-free cleanser) to reduce perfume fragrances. Thankyou.]
