Epsom salts have been used by many different cultures for hundreds of years. They have a number of different beneficial properties and are used in gardening, household cleaning, and detoxifying the body. They are very inexpensive and can be purchased at bulk discounts in garden centers nearly everywhere. Using Epsom salt baths is an advanced detoxification strategy that has remarkable health benefits. Epsom salt is made up of magnesium and sulfate, which can help improve health in numerous ways. A lack of magnesium—which helps regulate the activity of more than 300 enzymes in the body—can contribute to high blood pressure, hyperactivity, heart problems and other health issues, doctors warn. Sulfate is essential for many biological processes, helping to flush toxins and helping form proteins in joints, brain tissue and mucin proteins.
Clearing the energy in your home and workspace makes it lighter and more positive, removing toxins and improving your overall health and well being. Just opening windows brings in fresh, positive energy. Other space clearing techniques include dowsing; smudging with herbs or incense; clearing with bells, cymbals and singing bowls; and clearing with chanting.
Dry skin is a common problem every winter. Whether it’s rough hands, a flakey face or scaly legs, it’s often hard to avoid when the temperature drops and the wind picks up. And no matter how much shea butter you lather on every day, it’s often not enough to treat severely dry skin. So, let’s get to the root of it! Here are six ways to treat dry winter skin without using a drop of lotion!
We all have days, weeks, months and – for some – even years of feeling anxious and uncertain. It’s a vague feeling you can’t quite put your finger on. From the outside, people think you have it all together, but they can’t see what’s going on in your head. Emptiness fills your thoughts and emotions all too often, nagging at you throughout the day. You set goals but they never satisfy your ego. You always feel a day late and a buck short. The search can seem almost endless. And a question continues to spin in your mind: “Why can’t I just be happy?” The good news is you don’t have to live like this. There is a better way to view the world that will lead to what you seek. Having trouble seeing the goodness? Here’s a list of things you have to smile about – some obvious signs you’re doing just fine in life.
The placebo effect is concrete evidence that the body has its own innate self repair system. A study was conducted with 3500 participants who had all been diagnosed with an incurable disease like cancer, HIV, various heart diseases, etc. Through the placebo effect, everyone’s illness had all disappeared without treatment. Lissa Rankin goes on to talk about a specific case about a man named Mr. Wright, who had been given drugs that he truly believed would cure his cancer. Within days his tumors shrunk to half their size!
They heat a thin laser probe-up to 130 degrees-then insert it through a tiny hole and essentially burn the tumor. It works by heating the tissue around it to the point where it cooks, just like you’re cooking a hard boiled egg. Traditional surgery requires a three-inch incision, two to four days in the hospital and one to two months of recovery. With the laser procedure – it’s a three-quarter inch incision, one day in the hospital, and one to two week recovery.

I’m sure all of us cut ourselves at some point during our childhood and the first thing we did was to rush directly to our mothers for help. She may have addressed this seemingly devastating trauma at the time with all of her attention, a small detailed examination followed by soap and water, some calm reassuring words, a warm embrace, and then a Band-Aid. At that moment, the pain very likely went away…and you ‘felt’ better. What you experienced was likely your first conscious experience of the placebo response. Here is why.
In 2002, Dr. George Stefano and Dr. John Beaulieu made an exciting discovery: Specific vibrations transferred to cells using tuning forks causes the spiking of nitric oxide. This release of nitric oxide sets off a cascade of physiological events that directly influences our health, well-being, state of mind, and consciousness. This article talks about how this happens and briefly why it is so important to people’s health.
Robin Williams was one of our most beloved, talented, and celebrated actors and, among other things, showed us how comedians could step out from behind their funny personae and tackle, successfully, dramatic and other roles. This helped to open doors to so many that came after him and is just one way that he touched lives so very deeply.
The shaping of our brain by our behavior offers us an extraordinary opportunity: While we cannot choose our genetic makeup, we can decide how we invest our time and energy. Maximizing our opportunities for a full life requires effort, discipline, and generosity. But the payoff more than equals the investment: In protecting the organ that largely determines how we negotiate and relate to the world, we can help assure that every stage of our lives is as rewarding as it can possibly be. Your brain is shaped by the life you live. The right mental, physical, and spiritual practices protect your mind, so you can have the very richest life possible.
It feels like muscle pain, but unlike a tight hamstring that makes you yelp when you stand up, your ache isn’t triggered by a particular movement, and you can feel it in different places at various times. The culprit could be your fascia (pronounced “fash-ya”), says Mary Ann Wilmarth, DPT, chief of physical therapy at Harvard University Health Services. This sheet of tissue, made up of densely packed protein fibers, weaves throughout the entire body, and it binds and supports your muscles, bones and even your organs. While bodywork specialists have been passionate about fascia for decades, Wilmarth says it took new research on how fascia and muscles work together (some of it presented at the first international fascia research conference at Harvard in 2007) to get different health pros — from orthopedists to MDs and pain experts to personal trainers — to catch on.
Donna Eden has taught hundreds of self-empowering, alternative health workshops throughout the world.

The Energy Medicine paradigm is based on understanding the dynamics of life energy in relation to health and well-being. The fundamental principle of Energy Medicine is that an underlying energy field generates physical, emotional, and mental behaviors or symptoms. If we change the energy field, the physical, emotional, and mental behaviors will also change.
