Q: I have cataracts but I don’t want to get surgery for it because I’d like to maintain my ability to read in bed without glasses – am I correct in this thinking?
A: No, you probably have options for that. If it’s determined that you ought to have cataract surgery, just ask your optometrist or eye surgeon to plan around your wishes by choosing a desirable strength or design of the lens implants (which are used for the surgery).

Hydrosols, also known as “flower waters,” are produced by distilling fresh leaves, fruits, flowers, and other plant materials. A hydrosol’s properties are similar to those of its essential oil, but they are more gentle. They can be used in creams, lotions, compresses, facial misters, body sprays and other recipes. Hydrosols are soothing and antiseptic- great for skin rashes, burns & after sun. Gentle enough to be used on children, pets, and the elderly, where essential oils may be too powerful. Do not take internally. We recommend keeping your hydrosols in the fridge to extend their shelf life as well as refresh you on a hot day.
It can be frustrating when getting treated by a single practitioner for weeks with no end in sight. At Origin Integrated Health, we go for a collaborative approach! We offer you an individualized treatment plan to follow that most often involves collaboration between experts in the field. We treat the cause of your pain and focus on strengthening your imbalances in motion. We call upon:
• Myofascial techniques and Class IV Laser with a Chiropractor
• Inter-muscular Stimulation or Acu-Stimulation with a Physiotherapist or Acupuncturist.
• Active Rehab with an Athletic Therapist or Kinesiologist.
• Injection therapy with Naturopaths and Acupuncturists.
