Effective Napping With the BioMat Pillow
Have you ever been so exhausted that even after you try to nap for twenty to thirty minutes, you arise a short time later more tired and more cranky than before? Alternately, if you did fall asleep, even for a brief period of time, you might have woken up with a stiff neck and slight headache. Having given up on getting any mid-day rest you skip napping and instead rely on caffeine and sugary snacks to keep you alert. Not only is this unhealthy, it can actually fiercely work against you and make sleeping at night even more difficult.

How to Promote a Greater Quality of Life
A meeting, followed by a morning of phone calls, a quick lunch at your desk and a full afternoon spent hunched over your computer trying to get the latest project done. By the time the end of your work day rolls around you are not only exhausted, you are mentally and physically unprepared for what awaits you at home. By the time you walk through the door of your home, your second job begins. Fighting over homework, a quick dinner, clean the kitchen, paperwork from the office and twenty minutes worth of distressing stories on cable news. Even your weekends are filled with more of the same, with nearly no time whatsoever for relaxation.

Breathe In, Breathe Out: Meditation Can Change Your Life
How hard is it to simply sit still and pay attention to your breath (and just your breath)?
Try it for five minutes and see how often your mind starts to wander off. This tendency for the mind to drift, of course, makes meditation all the more valuable – we’re often pretty good at doing five things at once, but terrible at doing just one – breathing.
Even more, meditation’s many benefits are scientifically proven and pretty impressive – increased gray matter in the brain, better focus, concentration and performance at work, increased lung capacity, better relationships – and the list goes on and on. Meditation isn’t necessarily easy, but it is so good for you.

Can you relieve heartburn without meds?
Heartburn is a very common condition , with one in 10 Americans experiencing heartburn symptoms at least once a week. It can be brought on by a number of different factors, including stress, obesity, pregnancy, being a smoker and eating certain foods. Symptoms of Heartburn can be described as a burning sensation in the chest which may radiate to the throat or jaw.
Many people with heartburn turn immediately to medication for relief of their symptoms, but often lifestyle changes are just as effective, and reduce the risk of side effects from prescriptions or over-the-counter drugs. These side effects can include infections, pneumonia and even increased risk of bone fractures. In fact, some experts say that 60 to 70 percent of people taking heartburn drugs probably don’t need them, or could see just as much benefit from simple lifestyle changes.

The two most challenging resolutions—and how to succeed in overcoming them
What were your resolutions for this year? If you’re like most people, slimming down, butting out and getting healthier in general were at the top of your list at the beginning of year. Fast forward to now and ask yourself if these are resolutions that have been put on the back burner? When it comes to weight loss, 95 percent of people have gained back the weight they lost within five years, and people who try to quit smoking don’t fare much better: 75 percent start smoking again.
These relapse rates tell us that losing weight and overcoming a nicotine addiction are two of the most difficult goals to achieve. But that doesn’t mean they’re not worthwhile. Being able to keep just one of these two resolutions can transform your appearance, overall health and quality of life.

How to lighten up the “winter blues”
Many people simply accept that the winter months inevitably bring on darker moods, lethargy and weight gain. Like hibernating bears, they curl up indoors and wait until the lighter days and warmer temperatures of spring rekindle their energy and interest in life.
However, there is no reason to suffer through months of low energy and depression any more. Mood swings that correspond to the seasons, known in the medical community as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) or seasonal depression, are now an accepted medical condition with an array of proven treatment options.
Heavy consequences for heavy metal pollution
Our modern world couldn’t survive without metal. It forms the backbone of our buildings, our vehicles, our transportation and defense systems. It even shows up in our teeth when we need dental work.
But a certain type of metal is highly toxic to humans, and we need to do everything we can to minimize our exposure to it. Heavy metals earned their name because of their high molecular weights, which makes them denser and heavier than other metals. Examples of heavy metals are arsenic, chromium, cadmium, copper, lead and mercury.
When ingested, inhaled or absorbed through the skin, these heavy metals can (more…)

Hands, feet and Reflexology: the gateways to total-body health
Our hands and feet are incredibly complex nerve zones that connect throughout our bodies. There are 7,200 nerve endings in your feet, and a staggering 1,300 nerve endings per square inch in your hands.
Reflexology is one of the only healing disciplines to focus entirely on the ability of the hands and feet to control and regulate physical processes throughout the body. By placing pressure on various areas of the hands and feet, the reflexologist sends healing signals to various parts of the body.
Fatigue, joint pain, chills…what could it be?
Countries with Lyme disease highlighted in orange.
If you experience flu-like symptoms, headaches, joint pain and fatigue that keep recurring mysteriously, these may be indicators of Lyme disease.
Only fully recognized in the 1970s, the syndrome known as Lyme disease could be far more widespread than official numbers indicate. Because infection often goes unnoticed and symptoms can be different in each case, many cases go undiagnosed. Further confusing the issue, there is little consensus about how to accurately diagnose the disease. In fact, there may be as many as 10 undiagnosed cases for every diagnosis of this disease!
Amethyst: the history, myth and science behind a remarkable stone
Amethyst has held a place of honor in many cultures as a protector of health and wellness. Almost from the beginning of time, people from different cultures the world over have been deeply attracted to this gemstone, and have attributed to it remarkably similar powers of energy and purification.
Amethyst was regarded as a powerful precious stone by the ancient Egyptians, whose soldiers wore it for protection in battle. Wealthy ancient Greeks and Romans drank from amethyst goblets because they believed the stone prevented intoxication, and in fact the word “amethyst” is derived from the ancient Greek word “a-methustos,” or “not intoxicated.” Ancient Chinese medicine prescribed ground amethyst to alleviate both physical pain and troubled mental states. In the Middle Ages, Europeans believed that amethyst healed the body and soothed anger and anxiety.

Managing headaches naturally
Headaches are the most common form of discomfort and pain, with only one percent of the population escaping the experience in their lifetimes. Although migraines are less common, they still affect a full 17% of the population worldwide. This means that for the vast majority of us, headaches of varying intensities are a regular part of life.
Many of us rely on over-the-counter remedies or even prescription drugs to manage recurring headaches. Taken according to instructions, these medications are usually safe, but it’s always a good idea to explore natural solutions to reduce our reliance on drugs wherever possible.
Here are some surprisingly effective ways to reduce or even eliminate headaches from your day-to-day life without popping pain relievers:
The ABCs of catching ZZZs

You love summer… but does summer love you?
Most of us look forward to summer all year, but sometimes what we love just doesn’t love us back! With its dry weather, abundance of pollen and dust, and lots of outdoor activities, summertime can plunge some of us into the agonies of allergic reactions.
And many more of us don’t even know we have. We develop a persistent cough, or unexplained exhaustion, or even stranger symptoms such as bowel cramps or tingling lips, scalp or fingertips and it doesn’t even occur to us that the cause could be an allergic reaction.

Far Infrared Ray Technologies Stimulate Weight Loss
Can diet alone effect a permanent weight loss for most people? Despite the fact that a dozen new diet books hit the shelves every week, the consensus among health professionals is that changing your diet won’t change your body. This is because diet is just one element that affects your body’s overall chemistry and metabolic function.
In order to change the shape of your body, you need to address the root causes of obesity and overweight. New technologies allow you to effect systemic change in your body, instead of attempting to change your shape through eating habits alone.
Far Infrared Ray Treatments: A New Weapon in the Fight Against Cancer
Technology originally developed for space exploration is now helping medical professionals to explore new ways of treating cancer.
Far infrared technology was originally pioneered by NASA as part of their program of space discovery and exploration, but the medical and scientific community soon recognized the therapeutic qualities of far infrared rays. Today, far infrared rays form the basis of a range of innovative, complementary treatments. Because these rays are capable of safely penetrating the body and delivering healing properties internally, the treatment is ideal for conditions such as cancer.
Relaxation: How the mind heals the body
Mainstream science has finally caught on to the profound effects that stress can have on our physical health. For hundreds of years, alternative and traditional medical practitioners have incorporated relaxation techniques into their treatments, but modern medicine stubbornly kept the mind and the body separate.
Today, of course, the effects of stress on everything from allergies to diabetes have been documented. Stress can depress the immune system, making your body vulnerable to illnesses and infections, and it also increases inflammation, putting stress sufferers at higher risk of developing heart disease and even neurodegenerative diseases like multiple sclerosis.
