July 2023 Update News from Red Tree Wellness

IN THIS ISSUE:

• Reduced prices for Chinese herbal medicine
• Your help is needed to prevent restrictions to Natural Health Products 
• Summer Sale
• Did you know…

Welcome to our mid-summer update. Normally, we don’t send another newsletter until the fall. However, with our operational changes and a new regulation, we wanted to reach out to inform you, and give you some reminders in preparation for the fall changes we’ll have here. 

Reduced Prices for Chinese Herbal Medicine Products

Starting this September we will reduce the price of herbs by 5-10%. We at Red Tree Wellness want to ensure that everyone who needs it can experience the benefits of Chinese herbal medicine, so we are lowering the prices to make them more accessible. I’ve personally experienced the beauty of Chinese herbs as a powerful tool to restore health when utilized effectively with a trained eye, and I want to keep this accessible. That brings me to my next important point below.

Help prevent restrictions to Natural Health Products, including Chinese herbal medicine!

Canada is at risk for increased restrictions to Natural Health Products, which include neutraceuticals (vitamins and minerals) and Chinese Herbs. Chinese herbs have thousands of years of proven efficacy and there is little data showing adverse effects. Please consider writing to your MP or the National Health Minister by August 10 to prevent major cost increases that will severely limit the availability of Chinese herbal medicine, and drive up prices for any herbs that do remain! 

Add your contact information to this template, print it off and send it to our Minister of Health today! That’s it! (no stamp is needed to mail letters to elected officials) Patient to Health Minister Letter 

We thank you in advance for your help and advocating with us!

Account management

Next month we’ll discuss ways to manage your appointment and account through our booking calendar. Parents, did you know you can manage your child’s account with one email instead of logging out and in? We’ll get into that in the next newsletter, but if you can’t wait, ask next time you are in or call us. In the meantime, it’s a good idea to take ownership of your account if you don’t already. You can start by using the email we send the reminders to, and clicking Forgot Password at the login page. More is coming next month!
