Dear Friends and Clients,
We hope you are staying warm and dry as another winter works its way across the state.
In Chinese medicine, there are five personalities that correspond to the seasons. Water corresponds to winter and often times older age. Discovering which personality your animal friend is helps us to determine how to treat them correctly, including acupuncture method, food and herbal medicine. This is only one of several methods used to determine treatment, but it is also fun and helps you realize who your animal friend is and what they need from you to be their happiest.
The Water element consists of Kidney and Bladder. Kidney is the foundation of Yin (
adds coolness and moisture) and Yang (
adds heat and energy) for all other organs. Some foods that nourish Kidney Yin are: duck, pork, kidney, tofu, eggs, asparagus, cabbage, apples, barley, and honey. Some foods that tonify Kidney Yang are: lamb, chicken, venison, buckwheat, garlic, and ginger.
Watch this video of Dr. Jody going into more detail about the Water personality of her dog Linus. Do any of the animals in your home fall under this category?
We will be discussing the other personalities in future newsletters and also on our
Facebook page so be sure to follow along!

Pet Profile by Dr. Jody
Frosty, at 19-years-old, had stopped grooming himself months ago and was no longer social or playful. He developed glaucoma in both eyes and had to receive drops in his eyes that made him nauseous and painful. His people were wondering if life was worth living for Frosty any more. A homeopathic remedy was worked up for Frosty, and the day after it was given he started grooming himself and his eyes looked better. Since then, he has become much more social and even started playing with toys again.

- cumin/turmeric
- rosemary/garlic/thyme

Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cook about 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and potatoes and quinoa are tender. Remove bones and throw away. Add greens during the last 10-15 minutes. If you're using a crock pot, allow for longer cooking times.
