As a natural health care practitioner, I believe that my actions should nurture a safe and sustainable environment in the treatment room and beyond. Practices that better care for our health and better care for the environment are often one and the same.

• Organic cotton linens washed with eco-friendly detergents

• Organic cotton balls

• Needles from 10-packs instead of individually wrapped needles when possible—cuts down on plastic use

• Needles and moxa ordered in bulk whenever possible to cut down on packaging and energy use

• Metal-handled needles instead of plastic-handled

• Large-sized medical waste containers, when possible, to cut down on plastic waste

• Recycled aluminum foil (used in micro-current treatments)

• Most supplies ordered from Lhasa OMS, an acupuncture supply company that uses eco-friendly packaging and makes contributions toward environmental efforts

•Non-toxic, eco-friendly, natural cleaning products

•Recycled paper products for forms, envelopes, file folders, hand-outs, etc.
