Mark your calendars for Saturday, February 17th because the Home Remedies Program
will hold a free, interactive community clinic at First Baptist Church from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Everyone
is welcome to sample a variety of wellness services including acupuncture, therapeutic massage,
chiropractic, yoga, and tai chi from local practitioners while learning about the Home Remedies
Program.
Participants can expect short sessions that let them experience a range of options for chronic pain and
stress management. Practitioners from Mountain Community Healing Arts, Mars Hill Chiropractic,
Ironwood Arts Massage Therapy, Wood Element Acupuncture, Aloha Qi Acupuncture and Herbal
Wellness, Jennie Boyd-Bull, Shannon McCoy, Liz Sparks, and Carol Benjamin PT, LMBT will be there. If
you’ve been curious about new ways to manage pain from old injuries, want to take care of yourself as
you age, or just need a little help unwinding, stop by the community clinic.
The Home Remedies program offers community-based options to address pain and stress. The focus of
the program is to provide proven, effective, and safe options to improve quality of life, with a goal of
preventing and/or reducing the use of medications. The community clinics are an opportunity for locals
and visitors alike to experience wellness practices and services available in our community.
The Home Remedies Program also offers free, online courses with strategies for pain management and
stress reduction, presented by local complementary health providers. These practices include physical
therapy, massage, mindfulness, examination of thought patterns, nutrition, and tai chi. This course is
freely available to access at your own pace and convenience.
Mitchell and Yancey residents can also earn vouchers for individual treatment services. To sign up for
the online classes, learn more about the Home Remedies program and events, visit www.pathhomeremedies.org, or call (828) 214-7885.
