Our Mission:
Transforming Health Exponentially


AUGUST 2010
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Dear Friends of RiverWest,

Oh what a summer it's been. Dinners outside with good friends, camping in Eastern
Oregon, along with adding two new acupuncturists has made for a busy, exciting summer
season. And as I'm learning, there will not be much rest as we move forward into
Fall. We are excited to announce that we have officially purchased the new home
for RiverWest Acupuncture (stay tuned for more info!). It's close to our current
location, but will be a much larger space for us to serve our patients. We are so
thrilled to be moving forward with it. Please become a fan on Facebook to follow
us on our journey. We'll be posting updates & pictures of the remodel as it progresses.

We are so glad that you'll be on this journey with us! Here's to enjoying the dog
days of summer! We look forward to seeing you at our Open House.

Tips for Summer Health
Bycultural-china.com


Of the four seasons, summer is the season of yang, a time when the body undergoes
vigorous metabolic processes. Several thousand years ago, The Medical Classic of
the Yellow Emperor put forth the principle that one should cultivate the yang energy
in spring and summer, while protecting the yin energy in autumn and winter. According
to TCM theory, yang energy is the power for viscera, integral to the function of
various internal organs. And in China's long history, the principle of "cultivating
yang energy in spring and summer, while protecting yin energy in autumn and winter,"
has proven of great value for good health and longevity of life. How can one follow
this principle?

Patient Referral Program
We're excited to announce a new referral program at RiverWest for our patients!
It's very simple and we think it's going to be quite fun!
Here's how it works: You give a Qi Dollar to the person you're referring. (You can
pick up Qi Dollars at your next visit to the office). Once they have come for a
visit  you will receive a Qi dollar of your own to spend at our Qi store. The more
referrals that come to see us, the more stuff you get the chance to buy.
Spend one at a time or save them up for a bigger purchase. Ask Tina or Scott for
a list of what's available at the Qi Store this month!
