Emily Wiggins (dremilywiggins.com) is an Oregon licensed naturopathic doctor. She graduated from National University of Natural Medicine after finding naturopathic medicine through her own struggle with polycystic ovarian syndrome. Emily helps people suffering from chronic illness restore their health and feel better. She believes you are more than your illness and it is your personal experiences and the unique nature of your body that determines what you need in order to heal. She specializes in autoimmune conditions, chronic disease, and fertility and works with patients in her own private practice locally, in Bend, OR and long-distance.

Weekly Challenge:
I L O V E this week’s challenge because this is one of those things that I often forget to do, but—when I do it—completely benefits me! Ready? This week we dry brush. Dry skin brushing can be done with a washcloth or an inexpensive natural bristle brush (linked above). Start at the feet and with light, short strokes brush the skin towards the heart, up the legs, belly, back, down the arms, neck and chest. This helps move lymph, which is so important in supporting healing through daily detoxification. It’s also wonderful to stimulate and exfoliate the skin so it’s a great time to start as we move into the winter season. Follow me on Instagram for weekly challenge updates @sheajackie
