Discover To-Ji Healing

To-Ji means healing through bathing. Samurai and monks have used this method to heal the body and mind for hundreds of years. People travel to the volcanic mountain to use thermal resources, such as Japanese stone bathing, called Ganban-yoku. These mineral stones release therapeutic warmth to help improve the circulation of the internal organs and deep parts of the muscles and joints. If you are looking for gentle and non-invasive ways to improve your body’s function, try incorporating this natural thermal therapy into your daily life to discover the secret of Japanese healing.

Amazing Modern Prostheses

Do you know anyone with an artificial limb? If you said no, you’re probably wrong! Modern prostheses (proper name of an artificial limb) work so effectively and can look so convincing that you might not even know someone was using one. People with prosthetic legs can often climb stairs, walk, and run as well as those using natural limbs, while prosthetic hands have advanced to the point of individual control of all five fingers. You might think prostheses look boring, but they are among the world’s truly great inventions. By creating independence, they boost optimism and dramatically improve people’s lives.

Fighting Foot Pain

Have you ever wondered what causes sharp, shooting pain in your feet, especially first thing in the morning? You may have plantar fasciitis which is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It can be caused by ill-fitting footwear, general daily activity, age, foot mechanics and general weakness through out the lower body. If you have this type of pain a physiotherapist can help you, by assessing your movement and determining the cause of the pain. From there a treatment and exercise program can be prescribed based on your needs.

More Than Just Hot Yoga!

In addition to the spiritual and physical benefits of yoga, physical activity done in FAR Infrared Heat offers profound health benefits. In a FAR Infrared heated room, the body is heated from inside out which removes harmful toxins. Furthermore, FAR Infrared heat promotes healing, reduces stress, increases circulation and heart function, lowers blood pressure, improves flexibility, reduces muscle stiffness and pain, and decreases inflammation. Lastly, FAR Infrared improves skin tone by increasing the production of collagen and promotes weight loss.

What is Bioresonance Therapy?

Bioresonance therapy helps with imbalances that are caused by environmental pollutants, toxins, irritants, and pathogens. It does this by activating the body’s ability to heal itself and regulate its processes. Besides reducing imbalances and helping the body to recover, bioresonance therapy can also help to identify and even prevent health problems. Some of the many conditions that can be treated with bioresonance therapy include allergies, acute and chronic pain, asthma, skin problems, stress/anxiety, energy blockages, and smoking. The number of treatments required depends on a number of factors, as each individual will have different needs.

SOS for IBS

Irritable bowel syndrome is a frustrating health concern for many people. There can be many contributing factors to IBS, such as food sensitivities/intolerances, intestinal bacterial imbalances, poor stomach acid, or inflammation. IBS seldom has one specific cause. There is usually an interplay of many physical, mental, and emotional factors that lead to symptoms. Naturopathic doctors are trained to assess all of these factors and connect the dots, and to address the root causes that lead to development of IBS over time. Naturopathic medicine can help those suffering from IBS find an individualized approach to managing their symptoms.

Don’t Get Kicked Out of Bed!

Have you ever been told that you kick a lot during the night? Or perhaps your spouse does. This could be because of Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). The nerve receptors in the bottom of your feet are hyper-sensitive, and this disorder is part of the nervous system that causes involuntary movement of the legs. RLS usually interferes with sleep and is also considered a sleep disorder. People with chronic diseases like Parkinson’s, diabetes, and peripheral neuropathy often experience RLS. Sleep is important, even more rest is important – for you and whoever you may be sharing your bed with.

The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method – It Just Makes Sense

Do any of the following sound familiar?

I’m tired of going on a diet, reaching my goal weight, and ending up putting all those pounds back on a few months or a year later.  I’m tired of pushing clothes to the back of my closet with the hopes that I will fit into them again one day. I’m just plain tired of always feeling tired.

Many of us struggle with taking off and maintaining our ideal weight. If you have made any of the above statements at some point, then the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method may be the answer you’ve been looking for. The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method is unlike many other weight loss programs out there.

What is the Ideal Protein Weight Lose Method? 

The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method consists of four phases that have a beginning and an end. It is a medically derived weight loss method that is predictable, repeatable and measurable. The methodology behind Ideal Protein was developed by Dr. Tran Tieh Chanh, MD PHD, who spent much of his career conducting research on nutrition and the treatment of obesity. We know that our body uses carbohydrates as our first and main source of energy. Once our body has depleted the carbohydrate reserves, it will then use the muscles and fat for energy. By carefully following the Ideal Protein Protocol, your body will respond by using the fat as its primary source of energy, rather than carbohydrates first.

How does the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method make the body use fat as its primary source of energy?

This is achieved by carefully restricting carbohydrate consumption in the first two phases of the protocol, since it is often the simple and complex carbohydrates that prevent weight loss. With Ideal Protein, dieters not only successfully lose the weight, but they also learn how and why the body responds effectively to a carbohydrate-controlled diet. The third phase is the transitional phase, which will help dieters prepare for the final lifestyle phase. In this final phase, dieters will learn how to maintain and manage their weight loss while ensuring nutritional requirements are being met.

What makes the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method stand out from all the other weight loss programs?

With many weight loss programs, it’s all up to the individual to lose the weight. With Ideal Protein, you are not alone. You will receive one-on-one personal coaching to support you throughout every stage of your weight loss journey from start to finish. We all know how difficult it is to stick with any diet, therefore, the coach is there to help support you during your weakest moments. Your Ideal Protein coach will be with you through each and every phase as your resource and to cheer you on.

How do I know if the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method a good option for me?

Please join us for an info session to learn more about the Ideal Protein Protocol, and to answer any questions you may have. Free samples will also be available for you to try.  Please call us at 204-615-1144 to see when our next info session will be, or to book your consultation with our Ideal Protein coach to get started on this new and exciting journey to a healthier lifestyle. It just makes sense.

Snoring?

Snoring is a topic that is well known to many of us and our spouses.  If you have tried all of the pillows, mouth guards and gadgets advertised, you may want to try these simple and effective suggestions so that you can get a really good night’s rest.

Here are our choices for the most effective essential oils for snoring. Sage, Thyme, Marjoram, Lavender, and Cedarwood.

Diffusers are really a terrific way to use the following essential oils at night time.

Sage Oil

One of the best things about sage oil is the effect that it can have on the respiratory tracts. It can relieve inflammation, while also helping to quickly soothe sinus infections, making it an effective solution for acute snoring that is caused by a temporary illness.

How to Use – You can blend 5 drops of sage oil in 1 teaspoon of coconut oil and rub it on your chest or neck before going to sleep. This can help clear out your sinuses while you sleep and boost your immune system against the underlying infection.  (Also, great for hot flashes 😊)

Another really great way to use this oil is to add 4-5 drops to your diffuser.

Thyme Oil

If your snoring often causes you to wake up multiple times per night, you may need to find a deeper level of sleep! Thyme oil is known to soothe the body and nervous system, leading to uninterrupted and deeper sleep, which is really important if you want to get rid of your snoring.

How to Use – Mix equal parts thyme oil with olive oil and apply it to the wrists and the bottom of the feet before you go to sleep.

You can also add thyme oil to your diffuser for use during the night.

Lavender Oil

This legendary essential oil can be used for everything from sleeplessness to cardiovascular problems and specifically addresses many of the causes of snoring. This oil is among the most popular natural remedies for snoring.

How to Use – Some people choose to place a few drops of this essential oil on their pillow at night to promote clear breathing and stress-free sleep.

Diffusing is one of the most effective ways to use this oil.  Add 4-5 drops into your diffuser before bed time.

Cedarwood Oil 

By stimulating both the immune and respiratory systems, this oil can quickly counter the factors that lead to snoring. It can reduce inflammation to keep the airways open and calm the mind to deliver higher-quality sleep.

How to Use – This underused oil can be blended with thyme oil, lavender oil and coconut oil then applied to the neck, chest, wrists or feet before bed.

Marjoram Oil 

This sinus-clearing oil has been wildly popular in traditional medicine for its ability to stop snoring – often after only a few nights of regular use. Armed with antioxidants and stimulating active ingredients, this oil is closely linked with treatment for sleep apnea, which is one of the main causes of snoring.

How to Use – Mix 4-5 drops of marjoram oil with 1 teaspoon of a carrier oil and apply it to the outer rim of the nostrils, or directly above the top lip. If that is too intense of an aroma, simply apply it to the neck and chest before sleep.
