Tis the season for gift giving! Health is arguably one of our greatest assets- Why not give the gift of health this year?
Our Books
Dr. Ashley worked hard putting together 2 books for the past couple of years-Restorative Kitchen and Cultivating the Restorative Table. These books would be a valuable resource for those seeking to improve their health.
Restorative Kitchen: a cookbook and lifestyle guide for preventing and reversing autoimmunity and chronic disease: This book is a cookbook and lifestyle guide for helping those with chronic illness, leaky gut, or autoimmune diseases. While the book is written for those struggling with chronic illness, it is also for anyone who desires to pursue vibrant wellness. The elimination diet removes foods that are known to drive inflammation and symptoms as well as a careful reintroduction period to rule out food reactions. This plan is designed to remove potentially problematic foods in order to decrease inflammation in the body, rebalance the gut flora, soothe the gut lining, regulate blood sugar, modulate the immune system, resolve nutrient deficiencies, and bring overall healing to the body. In addition to the dietary recommendations and recipe, there is an extensive lifestyle guide for wellness including topics such as sleep hygiene, stress management, movement and exercise, reducing the toxic load, aromatherapy, numerous recipes for non-toxic home and personal care products, and techniques for healing therapies to do at home.
Cultivating the Restorative Table: A companion to Restorative Kitchen, this little booklet serves as inspiration for stewarding mealtimes with intention along with ideas for memorable and health-promoting encounters around the table. Included are 115 engaging questions to deepen your bond as a family, encourage the growth of moral character, and nurture thoughtful conversation. Take joy in cultivating the restorative table!
These books are available online ON SALE and at the clinic. If you are local and swing into the office, you can grab both together for $45 which is 20% off!
Gift Cards to the Clinic
We offer gift cards to our clinic, Restorative Chiropractic & Functional Wellness Center that can can be used on any of our products and services that we offer. These can be used on chiropractic care, functional medicine, low-level laser therapy, holistic skincare, our wide variety of state of the art supplements like CBD oil, and more! These gift cards can also be used for our telemedicine consultations for people to use who live all over the country or world.
Osmosis Pur Medical Skincare
We are thrilled to offer Osmosis Pur Medical Skincare at our clinic. At Restorative, our chief goal is to identify and uproot the underlying causes of health concerns; helping our patients achieve vibrant health. We believe healthy skin comes from the inside out. Skin problems such as acne, rosacea, hyper-pigmentation, and aging all have roots in inflammation. Conventional Skincare products add inflammation to the skin and therefore further the progression of unwanted skin symptoms.
Osmosis Pur Medical Skincare is a doctor-developed skincare line comprised of non-toxic ingredients that bring dramatic change, healing, and restoration to the skin. Osmosis utilizes 17 patented ingredients to bring lasting health and healing to problem skin conditions. Read more about Osmosis here. It truly makes a lovely gift!

If you have followed us for any length of time, you probably know that we love CBD! CBD has gained much attention in the holistic health world because of the many health benefits it can provide. This makes it a wonderful gift for the health conscious individual. We have done extensive research on sourcing the best and most effective CBD products available. Whether you are looking for CBD to use orally or topically, we have many products and sizes to fit any need or budget.

Air Purifier
Consider giving an air purifier to clean the air in a loved one’s home or workplace. Our currently recommended device is the AirDoctor. The AirDoctor removes mold spores, chemicals, smoke, dust mites, pollen, pet dander, ozone, and VOCs. All of these substances are linked with various illnesses and symptoms. The AirDoctor UltraHEPA is certified to filter 99.5% of all particles down to 0.003 microns, 100 times smaller than many ordinary air filters. Keeping these toxins out of your environment, whether it be home, workplace, school, etc. is an important piece in cultivating wellness.
Gratitude Journal
It has been said that “gratitude is the attitude that changes the altitude of living”. In fact, research shows that practicing gratitude can dramatically shift our physiology! We recommend beginning and ending the day with gratitude. This journal is a particular favorite-just a line or 2 a day recounting the gifts in our lives. What a life-giving, powerful discipline!
Salt lamp
Salt lamps can release negatively charged ions into the air that neutralize harmful positively charged ions. Because of this, salt lamps can reduce electromagnetic radiation and airborne infections within a space. Salt lamps may also trap air pollutants such as mold, bacteria, and allergens. The warm pinkish orange glow offers a calming and uplifting mood to the room. It is also reported that salt lamps ease asthma and allergy symptoms as well as headaches and migraines. Dr. Ashley writes more about salt lamps in Restorative Kitchen. Get yourself and your loved one a salt lamp here.
Handmade
Perhaps you are the creative type or don’t want to spend a lot of money on gifts this year. It can be so special to receive a gift that someone has put time and care into producing. May we suggest some handmade gifts that are supportive to health? Some of our favorite ideas are beeswax food wrap, essential oil blends in roller bottles, vanilla extract, or natural cleaners in a lovely bottle.
Holiday Roller Blend
8 drops sandalwood
6 drops douglas fir
6 drops wild orange
4 drops bergamot
Place essential oils into a 10ml roller bottle. Fill the remainder of the bottle with fractionated coconut oil, allowing headspace. Secure the roller lid and cap. Apply on wrists, sternum, neck, and/or behind the ears.
We hope you enjoy these health-promoting gift ideas! Keep in mind that the emphasis of this season should not be focused on material things, but WHY we are celebrating.
