WHATS NEW AT NOVA!
NATURES FARMACY
The Original Power Plants
Come join us on Sunday, September 29, 2019 between the hours of 10:30 am - 12:30 pm. Nova Spa will be holding a walking, foraging tour in our local forest with "Wildman" Steve Brill.
This tour explores woodlands, edge habitats, the shore of a pond, fields, and meadows, all overflowing with edible and medicinal plants and mushrooms. We'll be finding new growth of field garlic along trail edges. You use the leaves and bulbs the way you use scallions and garlic, but the plant has a pungent flavor all its own.
Field Garlic
This relative of onions and garlic is best when it first comes up, in early spring and fall.
We should also find sour sheep sorrel in fields, along with spicy poor man's pepper, and string bean-flavored Asiatic dayflower. In partially shaded habitats along and inside the woods, spicy garlic mustard, now with weeds, will be ready for the taking, along with wild carrots and burdock root.
Carrot
Wild Carrot
This chewy subspecies of carrot adds crunchiness to soups, carrot cookies, and carrot bread.
Even the trees in the grounds are edible. You can use sassafras as a seasoning, or to make gumbo, tea, or root beer. Likewise, you can make birch beer, tea, and flavor puddings using the black birch tree.
This is the best time for wild mushrooms. If there have been days of pouring rain beforehand, we'll have a good chance of finding gigantic chicken mushrooms, hen of the woods, honey mushrooms, and puffballs. Each has its own flavor, and they all lend themselves to a variety of recipes.

Giant Puffball
This huge mushrooms has the texture of tofu, and can be used the same way, only it has way more flavor.
The 2-hour foraging tour of property associated with Nova Spa begins at 10:30 AM, September 29, at 401 Park Dr., Berlin, CT. The suggested donation is $35/adult, $10/child under 12. You may call (860) 463-7693 to sign up in advance!

Consultation Free
Almost everyone has areas of their body that just won't budge, no matter how much dieting and exercise you do, you just can’t seem to lose it. I Lipo can help slim down those troublesome areas and get you in the shape you want to be.
I Lipo is an FDA approved, non-surgical, no downtime, non-painful, 8 treatment body contouring system. How I Lipo works: The I Lipos low level lasers minimize fat cells by targeting the adipose, “fat cell”, in the area that is intended to be treated. The lasers create a chemical reaction inside the cells that open transitory pores in the cell membrane and turn the triglycerides, which are being stored, into free fatty acids and glycerol. From here the molecules can, with ease, pass through the body's Lymphatic system. The free fatty acids and glycerol will be eliminated through the body's natural elimination system. What should a potential candidate expect pre and post treatment: Prior to treatment you will meet with our I Lipo specialist and complete a health intake review. Our specialist will explain pre and post treatment protocols to ensure your success. The I Lipo specialist will take precise circumference measurements and photographs of area to be treated. It is very important that the candidate follows post protocol instructions for maximum circumferential reduction. To help you achieve your goal, we offer healthy choices coaching, full body vibration included in your package. Package Pricing Call Nova Today |

ICELAND EXCURSION
ARISTON Olive Oil & BalsamicRoots Run Deep.Since 1997, Ariston’s products have been greatly received by the public. We started in the spring of 1997 as a small family business, first bringing in to Connecticut cold press extra virgin olive oil that was and still is produced by our family in the Kalamata region of Greece.
We later began adding balsamic vinegar from Modena, Italy. Our mission from the very beginning was to provide the American Food Market and eventually the world with premium unsurpassed oils and vinegars at an affordable price. |
