"They know you as the individual.  You’re not the person that they’ve just checked off the box.  It’s more than that; it’s deeper than that and better.  I’m getting good treatment I trust and I feel comfortable.  And if I could see somebody else have that same kind of treatment, comfort and care, I’d definitely recommend Natural Horizons."

- Charlanne B., Women's Wellness Patient

Monthly Recipe

ABC Detox Juice
The savory and sweet treats of the holiday season can take a toll on your energy levels and your digestion (along with adding on a few pounds).  Juicing is a simple way to pack high levels of nutrients into your daily diet and give you a healthy boost of detoxifying antioxidants.  You can always make extra juice and add fresh lemon so it will keep in the refrigerator for a few extra days.  Enjoy!

Serves 2-3
Ingredients:
2 large apples
2 beets
3 large carrots
1 bunch kale (at least 6-7 leaves)
1-2 leaves from beet greens (optional)
1 clove garlic
1 chunk ginger (more or less to taste)
Put all ingredients through a juicer.  It is helpful to put the garlic and kale in first to get more flavor from these ingredients.  Pour into a glass and enjoy!
