Health tips
Looking for short chunks of really useful info, something that will set you right on track?
Our health tips, to which you can also subscribe, could be just what you're looking for.
Rubbing up the right way
Improve your circulation and help your lymph glands to drain by the way you towel off.
Yoga for the tub
After a long day at work, the only thing you want to do is hop in a quick shower, watch TV and go to bed. Why not run yourself a deep, aromatic bath and combine it with some yoga?
Get in touch with yourself
No one around to give you a back massage? Do it yourself. Self-massage is an ancient eastern ritual that is known to relieve stress and tension, reduce blood pressure, and more.
Make oils essential in your life
Aromatic plant oils, or "essential" oils, can foster harmony and balance of the mind, body and soul.
Cut out herbs under the knife
Some herbal supplements – from the popular St. John's Wort and ginkgo biloba to garlic, ginger, ginseng and feverfew – can cause increased bleeding during surgery.
Take care when using essential oils
Through the ages, essential oils have been popular remedies for ailments, including insomnia, stress and treatment of skin conditions. However, make sure you use them correctly.
How herbs can help you heal
Although herbs are generally safe, one should be responsible and careful when using them. Some herbs can have dangerous interactions with conventional medications.
DIY reflexology
Are you plagued by constant headaches, stress and sore shoulders after hours spent hunched in front of the computer? Why not try this self-help treatment when you get home?
