How Does Bemer Therapy Work?

All functions of the body are controlled by electromagnetic signals, much of which is generated by exercise. Without motion the tissues suffer from insufficient levels of electromagnetic energy. Exercise also stimulates the circulation and thereby the oxygenation of our tissues. Insufficient oxygen in the cells is thought to be the root cause of most illnesses including cancer. BEMER not only increases the electro-magnetic energy of all the cells, it also improves the circulation and oxygenation of the tissues. This encourages each cell in the body to function optimally and to correct metabolic and energetic abnormalities, which result in freedom from disease. Thus, the physiological effects of BEMER treatment are similar to the benefits of exercise.

Chi Nei Tsang Abdominal Massage

Chi Nei Tsang (CNT) is an abdominal massage involving gentle stimulation and breathwork to promote healthy functioning and detoxification of the internal organ systems. By promoting the circulation of blood and fluids within the spaces of the abdomen, we facilitate the parasympathetic nervous system’s ability to bring us into a state of rest and digest in order for
the body to nourish and regenerate. CNT can be helpful in the relief of complex conditions involving stress, anxiety, digestive, and menstrual complaints. In creating space within our core, we encourage the body’s natural ability to function healthfully and harmoniously.

Dentures and Dry Mouth

Dry mouth is a condition that involves the salivary glands not producing enough saliva to adequately keep the mouth moistened. This lack of saliva can alter the fit and comfort of dentures, since saliva helps dentures retain their suction and stay in place and also has a lubricating effect that keeps dentures from rubbing on the gums and creating sores. Those who take certain medications, are older, and use tobacco and alcohol are more susceptible to dry mouth. If you’re experiencing dry mouth symptoms as a denture-wearer, contact your denturist to discuss your options.

Q: My dad says he has double vision in one eye, what should we do?
A: He should be triaged as soon as possible and assessed. Describing double vision can be hard for the person experiencing it. He might simply mean he’s seeing shadowy vision in one eye, or maybe his eyes have suddenly become misaligned because of a serious problem with the nerves or blood supply (in the brain) that control the eye muscles.

Suffering from Gum Disease?

Gum disease is an infection of the tissues that surround and support your teeth. It is a major cause of tooth loss in adults. Because gum disease is usually painless, you may not know you have it. Gum disease is caused by plaque, the sticky film of bacteria that is constantly forming on our teeth. Some warning signs that can signal a problem include gums that bleed easily; red, swollen, and tender gums; receding gumline; and persistent bad breath. See your dentist if you suspect you have gum disease because the sooner you treat it the better.
