Avoid Injury This Spring
Spring means two things: yard work and stiff, sore muscles. Stretching to prepare muscles for strenuous activities that have not been done since fall is very important. Simple things like doing arm circles, shrugging your shoulders, and touching your toes should be done before and after activity. If you do over-exert and your neck, shoulder, arm, or back pain is not going away within a week, there are natural alternatives that can help. Options such as designed nutritional formulations and NIR Therapy will reduce inflammation and stimulate muscle repair to help you recover quickly and get back to enjoying spring.

Nutrition for Oral Health
Maintaining good oral health through diet involves consuming foods rich in calcium, such as dairy products, leafy greens, and fortified foods, to support strong teeth and bones. Incorporating vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables like oranges, strawberries, and bell peppers aids in gum health and collagen production. Crunchy, fibrous foods like apples and carrots help clean teeth naturally by stimulating saliva production and scrubbing away plaque. Limiting sugary and acidic foods and beverages reduces the risk of tooth decay and enamel erosion. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day helps rinse away food particles and keeps the mouth hydrated, promoting overall oral health.
Experience the Sound of Healing
A sound bath meditation offers profound benefits for both mind and body. Immersed in soothing, resonant tones from gongs, crystal bowls, and chimes, participants experience deep relaxation and stress relief. The harmonious vibrations can lower cortisol levels, enhance mood, and promote mental clarity. Physically, sound waves can help release tension and reduce pain, while fostering a sense of balance and overall well-being. This immersive experience encourages mindfulness, aiding in emotional healing and spiritual growth. Ideal for those seeking a gentle yet powerful way to restore inner peace, a sound bath meditation provides a rejuvenating escape from daily stressors.
Is Your Carpet Making You Sick?
Do you know what’s really lurking in the carpet? The carpet attracts and hides some of the worst allergens, bacteria, germs, organisms and other hazardous particles. Dirty carpets can affect your health and the indoor air quality of your home. The average home can accumulate up to 40 lbs. of dust per year. Your carpet also harbors a number of species of bed bugs, fleas and dust mites. Mites can cause allergies through their molted skin, waste and through the mites themselves. Having your carpets professionally deep cleaned can reduce the amount of unseen pests, prevent sickness and allergies, and remove or prevent undesirable odors.
