Glancing up from your phone, you turn your attention to the water and do a quick search for your kiddos in the pool. Your heart starts beating a little faster as you realize you cannot find one.

Are you ever curious as to why you behave the way you do in certain situations and relationships? Everyone needs a good rhubarb recipe in June. Rhubarb is antioxidant rich, a good source of fiber, a decent source of vitamin C, and as an added bonus can have some mild laxative effects. So here’s to a seasonal recipe that is chock full of what I lovingly call the “citrus fruit of Iowa”. When it comes to picking rhubarb, select stalks that have turned reddish pink, discard the leaves and wash your hands thoroughly after handling the leaves (they can cause skin rashes and are not edible). To prepare, wash the stalks of any debris and chop into small pieces (1cm cubes are ideal). Sensory play does not have to be complicated or difficult. You don't even have to be creative. I will always stand by the best, easiest, and most available sensory play base is water! That’s right, give your toddler a bowl of water and a measuring cup and spoon, and watch the fun begin. June is Migraine Awareness Month and here at Integrative Family Medicine, our clinic is no stranger to patients with migraines. Migraines are a recurrent headache disorder that can be debilitating for many people. There are many different migraine treatment options, including relief medication, daily preventative migraine medications, IV therapy treatments for migraines, and supplements to help migraine sufferers reduce their pain and symptoms associated with an attack. Simply put: migraine sufferers will try nearly any and all options to find relief when it comes to a migraine attack. |
