Questions You Might Have:
Dr. Krohse Recommends Millet Pillows We finally got millet pillows back in stock! We carried millet pillows from 2010 to 2012 but our supplier went out of business. This was a sad situation since most of our staff had started using millet pillows and preferred them over other types. Sandy and I laugh about how we love ours so much we end up bringing them along on vacations! 🙂 Luckily, we found a new supplier! I consider millet pillows the most recommended pillow type for back sleepers as well as those who sleep front-side sprawled! For true fetal position side sleepers the water pillow we carry could be a better option. A millet pillow feels a bit like a bean bag with a very fine grain so that it is not noisy. Some people may have tried buckwheat pillows but those have a more coarse feel and can rustle if you move at all at night. Millet pillows are so soft and comfortable feeling. When you lie on it, you can nuzzle your head into the pillow until it feels perfect, and then the pillow stays in that position. For back sleepers you would nuzzle till your neck has a slight forward curve supported by the millet. For front-side sprawlers I recommend using the pillow to get as close to having the center of your forehead, chin, and chest lined up (making the pillow relatively thin). The main downside of a millet pillow is that it’s hard to leave it in the morning. So comfortable! As an introductory offer, you can pick up a millet pillow for $10 off the normal price of $54.95 through the month of January by mentioning this email. Stop by Compass Chiropractic and give one the squeeze test today 🙂 ![]() Sandy Recommends Polk County Conservation Winter Programs I’m watching light snow fall this morning and rather than look at it with A snowshoe clinic will be taught at the Thomas Mitchell Park on January 14 and the following weekend on January 21 cross-country ski basics will be taught at the Raccoon River Park Nature Lodge.

I purchased just an Envirocloth, laundry detergent, mattress cleaner & the pet mitt. I sat on them for about a month or so, thinking I would use up all my other cleaning products first. I also had in mind that I would only use the laundry detergent for the Envirocloth and pet mitt. One day while doing laundry I decided to try the laundry detergent on my sheets and the blankets I use for my dogs. This detergent is a highly concentrated, superior stain- fighting powder. It is also 100% biodegradable and free from phosphates and fillers. I was so happy with the results that I have been using it for ALL my laundry ever since. With the success I had with The mattress cleaner is a spray that is an enzyme-based formula designed to help remove organic material and provide a deep cleaning of body oils, pet dander and other contaminants from pillows, comforters, pet bedding, fluffy toys and fabric furniture. I use it monthly on my mattress and every two weeks on my furniture and pet beds instead of Frebreeze now. Absolutely love it! The pet mitt can be used wet or dry. I like to use it in between bath time for my dogs when they get in the pond or creek out where we walk and need a wipe down. It leaves their coat shiny and soft. The antibacterial EnviroCloth removes dust, dirt and grease from all washable surfaces using only water—no chemicals! Norwex Microfiber has the ability to remove up to 99% of bacteria from a surface when following the proper care and use instructions. The super-absorbent EnviroCloth picks up dust particles and traps them in the cloth until you rinse it out. Then the cloth has what is called BacLock in it that goes to work to self-purify and inhibit odors from bacteria, mold and mildew growth within the cloth. They have products for floors, kitchen, bath and body, kids, pets, laundry, and personal care. I was so excited about what these products did for me that I became a consultant myself! So if anyone is interested in finding out more about these products you can go to my website at https://sherit.norwex.biz You can have a catalog, Facebook, or home party, just let me know, and start the new year out chemical free! ![]()
