ALBION – Jean Bogue knows what is like to have lingering pain. In college, she was run over by a horse. Much later as an adult, she fell down two flights of stairs.

She dealt with digestive issues and arthritis for years.

Bogue felt like medication wasn’t getting at the core issue of her problems. She researched and experimented with holistic health and she felt better and not just as a short-term fix.

Bogue has expanded her knowledge and is now a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner and Traditional Naturopath after completing a program through Trinity School of Natural Health. She has opened a business, Holistic Health Care, at 25 East Bank St. in Albion.

“This is about learning how to clean your system and balance your system to help your body over the years,” Bogue said. “Doctors will prescribe medication to deal with symptoms but that doesn’t deal with the root cause. You want to build up your health reserves and your system.”

Bogue works as a consultant and makes recommendations to aid in digestion, improve gut health, and help with inflammation, tiredness and anxiety.

Holistic Health Care does an initial consultation to go over a client’s present health concerns, information and history. This includes but is not limited to: saliva and urine testing, Muscle Response Testing (MRT), iris analysis and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) observation.

In a follow-up visit, Bogue does an analysis of potential strengths and weaknesses, foundational and supplemental recommendations, Bach Flower Remedy, and professional referrals as needed.

Jean Bogue of Lyndonville makes recommendations that can help people have better digestion, better gut balance and other ways to reduce inflammation and tiredness. She is shown in her office with a painting done by her husband, Nin Bogue.

She offers mineral heat lamp sessions, infrared therapy, Iris Analysis, Bach Flower remedies and a healing harp.

The heat lamp and infrared therapy help with circulation and can reduce pain and inflammation. The plants can help balance emotional states, including fear and loneliness.

Bogue said biome balance strives for “gut balance” with a healthy community of microorganisms in the body. She can check the pH balance by measuring the acidity or alkalinity of body fluids. She can advise or what foods to add or take away to bring the pH into balance. The healing harp offers gentle vibrations to ease pain, anxiety and stress.

“I want to be build a bridge between the natural health people and the medical people,” she said.

Bogue has walk-in office hours from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Monday and Thursday. Her other hours are by appointment. Call her at 716-544-5307 for more information.

She charges $85 for the initial consultant and $45 for follow-up appointments. She offers discounts to first responders and veterans, and is willing to adjust her fees if people need a break.

Bogue said she wants to offer workshops for the public in the future.
