While technology ushers in promising new ways to boost health and wellness, there’s also growing interest in ancient methods of healing that could have an important, perhaps even profound role to play in our modern world. One such method that has caught the attention of both health-seekers and scientists alike is the use of Amethyst.
Amethyst, which is the most valuable of all of the quartz minerals, is often used to make jewelery due to its beauty and durability. However, it was also used in ancient times to address many common ailments, including (more…)
As more people focus on improving health and wellness, a number of new devices are in the market that are claiming to do everything from boosting energy to curing diseases, and everything in between.
While in the past people relied solely on the information and education of their doctor, today’s consumers hold the power of the internet to educate themselves and access beneficial information outside of their doctors scope of knowledge. Today’s health-focused consumers now have the ability to empower themselves with accurate, up-to-date information so they can determine which health devices are worthwhile and helpful, and which ones are expensive wastes of money and time.

If “health is wealth,” then having good blood circulation is one of the most valuable ways to support a long, healthy, vigorous life, and avoid unplanned visits to the doctor or hospital.
However, while many people grasp the monumental importance of good blood circulation, they’re much less enthusiastic about taking medication towards that end. Indeed, given some of the side effects — including the unknown or well established ones – it’s understandable why more people are just saying no to blood circulation drugs.
Fortunately, there are a variety of 100% medication-free ways to help improve blood circulation. Here are 10 simple and practical strategies to consider: (more…)
It’s widely-known that trees emit oxygen into the atmosphere. What is less known – unless we’re researchers at Queensland University in Australia – is that trees also affect the airs’ electrical properties.
According to researchers, the air in our atmosphere has about a 50/50 mix of positive and negative ions. These ions are derived from radiated air molecules coming all the way from outer space, as well as radon being emitted from deep underground rocks and soil. (more…)

According to the American Academy of Pain Medicine, approximately 20% of the worldwide population suffers with some sort of chronic pain. The top causes of chronic pain include arthritis, back injury, fibromyalgia and nerve damage. For these individuals, as well as those suffering with chronic illness such as diabetes, their general health affects every aspect of their life. Whether it is their ability to travel, to engage in hobbies or just get to work each day, their pain and discomfort casts a shadow over their entire life.
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.
As a pet owner you know that many animals act anxious at various times. In particular, being away from their owners for even a very short period of time or travel can cause stress. This anxiety manifests in a variety of ways, including chewing personal items, shaking, vomiting and urinating on the floor. It’s heartbreaking to see your pet suffer like this, especially since you cannot explain to them this shift in their normal and comfortable routine. You want peace, love, health, comfort and happiness for your pets as you would your children or anyone else that you love.
How does looking and feeling younger sound to you? Sounds good, right? No matter your age, location, income or race, this is something that appeals to both men and women around the globe. While some individuals may opt for pricey dermatological procedures, expensive ointments or costly and dangerous surgical options, looking and feeling younger is actually simple to achieve and, of course, costs much less too.
In the quest for improved and healthy hydration, the focus in recent years strongly points to the benefits of alkaline water. As it turns out, alkalinity assists your body in developing a homeostatic or stable environment. This means that your body works at optimal performance, is able to ward off illness and is best prepared to heed off the bombardment of daily environmental threats. One of the ways that this steady equilibrium is established in the human body is via a perfected alkaline/acid balance. Most reports indicate that this should be in the range of 80/20 for maximum physical performance.
If you are someone that suffers with chronic back pain due to injury, you know that your condition is not only acutely painful but it is also apparently endless. It may seem that no matter what position you try or what analgesic you take, the pain simply persists. The solution to real pain relief lies with the negative ions that the BioMat generates.
When you lay on the BioMat, the negative ions begin to work their magic on your aching back. Additionally, the relaxation that you experience on the BioMat allows the muscles to loosen from a tense condition which further contributes to your relief. It is this combination of negative ions and physical stress reduction that allows for a significant improvement in your chronic back pain.
Negative ions have proven rehabilitative and energizing effects. This is because when they are introduced into the human body, key components of the blood (including calcium and sodium) begin circulating in a more effective and productive manner. In doing so, the pH balance of the blood is increased and creates better overall health.
The BioMat has been deemed by medical professionals to be a safe and beneficial tool in the treatment of chronic and acute back pain. Laying on the BioMat for as little as 15 minutes has proven therapeutic effects. These healing sessions treat not just the body but also the mind. When the mind is serene and calmed, then the rehabilitative capabilities of the body are enhanced. This is the perfect permutation to treat your back pain in an effective and multi-faceted manner.
The secret to the efficacy of the BioMat is the amethyst crystals and their amazing curative properties. When coupled with the deep heat that the BioMat generated, chronic pain sufferers experience prolonged relief of their symptoms.
As you hurry through the day, with the weight of the world upon your shoulders, nothing beats a power nap to quickly refresh and revive you. Once you have a quick snooze, you will awaken ready to tackle anything that heads your way. In fact, the power nap will clear your mind and provide you with greater clarity. And the best way to maximize the benefits of a power nap is with the BioMat.
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.
When it comes to the necessities of life, breathing fresh air certainly appears at the top of everyone’s list. If you don’t have the luxury of clean air, your health is likely to suffer. This is particularly true if your health is already compromised due to asthma, allergies, diabetes or a host of other conditions. In those cases, clean air is an absolutely requirement. This is where the BioMat can prove to be a real asset when it comes to your overall well being.
After five years of research, nutritional consultant, author and lecturer, Donna Gates, has compiled the most cutting-edge anti-aging knowledge that will change your life. (more…)
In recent years alkaline water has been one of the most popular trends among health-conscious individuals and within natural health communities. The reasons are compelling and scientifically valid as alkalinity plays a critical role in establishing homeostatic balance. Homeostasis is the state of overall internal equilibrium characterized by an 80/20 alkaline-acid ratio. The blood’s pH must fall within the very close range of 7.35 to 7.45. Serious health crises inevitably ensue when blood pH drops below 7.35. The pH of the human saliva and urine on the other hand should ideally be 7.2 or higher. By using pH test strips on either urine or saliva you can evaluate your body’s pH level as either acidic (<7) or alkaline (<7). The lower your pH, the more unhealthy and disease-prone you become.

Tourmaline is a naturally occurring inorganic mineral that has been known to relax the muscles, ease arthritis and joint pains, alleviate depression, promote detoxification, correct erratic sleep patterns, and even improve hair quality. Like other gemstones and crystals it has its own electrical charge, containing both positive and negative ions. It is also an excellent conductor of heat and electricity.

The very versatile BioMat is not only used for heat therapy but for cooling down during the summer season as well. The “green” setting at 95 degrees F provides a full-body cooling effect while relaxing your body with non-soporific negative ions. As a result, you feel relaxed all throughout the day without any drowsy side effects. This is because one of the benefits of the BioMat is that it regulates and modulates your circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms are physical, mental and behavioral changes that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle, responding primarily to light and darkness in one’s environment. In essence the BioMat assist in programming your normal circadian rhythm.

The term “metabolism” is commonly associated with weight loss, with how fast and efficiently the body can burn calories in order to shed unhealthy pounds. In reality, your metabolism is a far more complex process. Metabolism is comprised of thousands of biochemical reactions that are vital for the health and survival of the human organism. It involves either the breakdown of matter to derive energy or the utilization of energy to create new matter (i.e. hair, skin, nails, organ tissue, cells, etc).

In the past few years the Environmental Working Group Organization (EWG) has been raising concerns regarding the health hazards caused by pesticide exposure. For this reason the organization released a list of the most pesticide-laden fruits and vegetables in 2011. (more…)
Physical pain in its many types and locations can be caused by a number of factors including arthritis, physical stress, poor posture, accidents, sports injuries, structural misalignment, malnutrition, auto-immune disorders such as allergies, systemic toxicity/acidosis, and even emotional trauma. Toxic energy from stress and unresolved negative memories disrupts the electrical flow in the body. This negative energy can end up getting lodged in joints and muscles, resulting in idiopathic pain, stiffness, and discomfort. Whatever the underlying reason, anyone suffering from physical pain wants relief and healing fast.

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.
Simply using creative visualization can spark your imagination, concentration and motivation while decreasing both stress and anxiety.
Wellness, health and longevity aren’t just buzzwords in the fitness industry. Companies understand that healthy employees are better employees, and are turning to these concepts to create better and healthier workplaces, offering everything from weight loss to smoking cessation to exercise programs for their employees.
In addition, many companies now provide wellness rooms, which can include fitness classes, meditation spaces and more, so that employees don’t have to leave the office to focus on their health and well-being.
In a busy world with many demands, stressors and hectic schedules, more and more people are seeking relaxation and restoration that is not always easy to find. Amethyst crystal therapy provides a simple and soothing answer to overwhelmed minds and aching bodies – health and healing in just a few minutes a day.
