October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, dedicated to driving awareness about prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment options. Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in women globally, and within Canada, it is the third most-commonly diagnosed cancer, accounting for 25% of all cancer diagnoses in females. As you get older, your risk of developing breast cancer increases, and women between the ages of 50 and 69 years of age are more likely to develop it. The good news is, when detected early, the chances of survival increase. Regular screening increases the chances of detecting certain cancers early, before cancer has a chance to spread.

Acupuncture for Gastrointestinal Disorders
If you’ve tried conventional medicine to keep digestive problems in check without success, consider acupuncture, a holistic health treatment without side effects. Many clinical studies show that acupuncture alters various biochemical and physiological states to treat a wide variety of gastrointestinal illnesses, like irritable bowel syndrome, Chron’s disease, gallstones, heartburn, indigestion, constipation, and diarrhea. Acupuncture helps by improving gastrointestinal motility and restoring stomach acidity to normal levels – reducing serum levels of serotonin and reducing inflammation by promoting release of vascular and immunomodulatory factors.
Benefits of Purple Tea
Purple tea, sourced from Kenya, boasts a vibrant hue and various health benefits. Rich in anthocyanins, polyphenols, and antioxidants, it surpasses green or black tea in health perks. Notably, it has half the caffeine of green tea, offering sustained energy without jitters. Purple tea contains a unique polyphenol, GHG, associated with weight management. Furthermore, purple tea supports heart health by improving blood vessel function and lowering cholesterol. Its anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties make it a valuable immune system booster, while also enhancing cognitive function and memory. Embrace the goodness of purple tea for a refreshing and healthy daily habit.
Bioenergetics and Women’s Health
Every year at this time women are reminded to focus on their health, but in reality, women should be taking charge of their own physical and mental well-being every day.

Sound Therapy Helps Depression
Vibroacoustic Therapy harnesses the power of sound and vibration to promote emotional well-being. This non-invasive therapy involves the use of specialized sound frequencies and vibrations applied directly to the body through specially designed mats or cushions. These vibrations resonate with the body’s cells, stimulating relaxation and reducing stress. Research suggests that vibroacoustic therapy can help lower cortisol levels, improve mood, and enhance overall mental health. By fostering relaxation and reducing the symptoms of depression, vibroacoustic therapy offers a promising adjunct to traditional treatment methods. Its holistic approach targets not only emotional but also physical and neurological aspects of depression, making it a promising avenue for those seeking alternative therapies for this pervasive mental health condition.
