10 Ways Grounding Can Directly Support Your Health During This Pandemic

Grounding, Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By

  I’ve gotten lots of emails asking if grounding is a good idea as a way to boost health during this pandemic. The medical literature suggests the answer to this is a resounding “Yes!” for many reasons, probably more than you think. As you might know, most patients who suffer serious illness during Covid19 infection do so because of the body’s inflammatory response (the often referred to “cytokine storm” in the lung adds to this), subsequent hypoxia from lung inflammation, and hypercoagulation of the blood, leading to blood clots. These three reactions the body creates as a response to coronavirus

Trying It Out For You: Compression Therapy

Health Videos, Medical Reports / By

  Therapeutic compression treatments have been around forever to help treat cardiovascular issues and lymphatic issues in the body… …but until now I have only seen them used in hospital settings.     There is a new trend that offers compression therapy in a spa setting, where you can sit for a 30 or 60 minute period of time, wearing a garment that inflates (similar to a large blood pressure cuff) on and off, forcing blood and lymphatic fluids up the limbs. It’s called intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) and it’s something I’m familiar with because we put these exact same

Trying It Out For You: A Salt Cave (aka Halotherapy)

Health Videos, Medical Reports / By

  Halotherapy is simply the inhalation of aerosolized dry salts… …which is quickly becoming a very popular new therapy added to many spas.   These salt therapy lounges can be very beautiful, with gorgeous Himalayan salt wall features and flowing loose salt over the floors to give the appearance of a salt cave, while plain old sodium chloride crystals (table salt, basically) are aerosolized into the room’s air for inhalation. These spas claim that halotherapy can improve respiratory allergies, fix chronic dermatologic skin issues like atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, and even decrease the frequency of upper respiratory infections.   But

Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By

The weather is getting unbearably cold for me, so I thought today I would share with you what I do whenever it’s too cold (or I’m too lazy) to exercise I hit my local Y and sit in the sauna to reap very similar benefits to exercising, but without the hassle! Medically proven! Now this is a healing modality I can really get behind, because I LOVE HEAT.

A New Way To Measure Stress… Your Hair

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports, Soul Healing / By

  We all know someone’s who’s hair has literally seemed to turn grey overnight from stress… …it’s a very real thing.   I know during the time when, years ago, my kids and I were unexpectedly abandoned by my then-husband who disappeared one night (and the stressful subsequent divorce that ensued) I got my fair share of grays that seemed to pop up daily and have remained in place right now, even 5+ years later. We also know during times of chronic stress, hair can become markedly thinner, falling out strand by strand or in clumps, even clogging your shower
