Natural Pain Killing Formula
​By Khana Dias LMT

When it comes to pain, most of us go for the quick fix of pharmaceuticals. But what if you were able to make your own recipe from ingredients you have in your kitchen that works just as well without the side effects? 

I have followed Tony Pantalleresco Knowledge Base,  "Just a guy who knows stuff" for a few years now and love the information he shares. It's simple, inexpensive and with lots of medicinal benefits. 

Best part about Tony, if you have any questions you can email him at [email protected], and you'll get a response pretty quick. Also, he does consultations for a very minimal fee. You can visit his website HERE 

​Tales of Everyday Magic-Entanglement
​by Khana Dias LMT

“Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve”-Maxwell Planck

Every so often you come across a movie that grabs your attention, helping to bridge the understanding of the science behind quantum physics and everyday life's mysterious events. Tales of Everyday Magic ~ Entanglement, for sure, did exactly that.

This was my inspiration to write this blog since just a few days before watching this movie I had a session with one of my clients where I had a premonition that struck the invisible cord of energy change. Also, what started as bringing light to a few short life events of my own, all of a sudden these events spiraled into so much more. Asking questions from different angles, quantum entanglement threw many other energy cords of possibilities into the mix. 

Healing with Poultices & Compresses
by Khana Dias

Barbara O’Neill has spent years sharing a wealth of natural remedies that support the body’s healing, using simple ingredients most people already have in their kitchens.
Author, Educator, Naturopath, and Nutritionist, also an international speaker on natural self-healing. She has raised eight children and is a specialist in women’s and children’s health. Barbara is passionate about good health and natural healing. She believes in giving the body optimum conditions in order for it to heal itself.

An interesting point to notice, a description over the video:
"Note from TED: This talk, which features health advice based on a personal narrative, has been flagged as potentially outside TED's curatorial guidelines. Viewer discretion advised."
And why would that be? Sadly, even TED's talks are being monitored by Big Pharma to have disclosures as this one. 

Our bodies are designed to heal or fall apart with things we consume on everyday bases. The good news is, we have a choice on which path to take that will create a healing effect within us. Will it be medications or lifestyle changes, or maybe both?

Road to Wellness
by Khana Dias

Few weekends ago my son came home from college pretty sick. Being a concerned mother of a kid who is also a Type 1 diabetic, first thing I did was put my investigative hat on to assess the situation and come up with some natural remedies that we have done in the past. Also we added few more as we went along.

We had a 3 day weekend to get him better before sending him back to ASU and attacked this bug full force, No Time Wasted! With few natural treatments and much laughter it was a Priceless weekend for all of us to remember. 

Salt and Water
by Khana Dias LMT

​We all know the importance of drinking plenty of water throughout the day. However, did you know that consuming a good quality unrefined/unprocessed salt which is our electrolytes, is just as important for the body to be able to absorb the water properly?

This video by Barbara O'Neill is excellent to watch as she makes it simple in understanding the body's way of processing salt and water and how many different symptoms the body shows when it's dehydrated.  You will never look at salt and water the same way again.

Dr. F. Batmanghelidj says, "You're not sick; you're thirsty. Don't treat thirst with medication."

Dr. Batmanghelidj has gathered both criticism and acclaim over the years for his assertions that a regime of water can treat a vast array of human illnesses. Is it possible that ordinary water will prevent and cure depression, asthma, arthritis, back pain, migraines, high blood pressure, multiple sclerosis and many other illnesses? As simple as it may seem using common sense, lack of water can definitely cause havoc in the body. 

For those who are sitting behind the desk for long hours of the day there are different things you can do to help alleviate back pain. One change you can make is positioning your chair correctly so your posture is not taking a beating on the rest of your body.

Here is a short video demonstration by Trevor Shaw, Principal Ergonomist, on the proper ways to sit at a desk in front of the computer.

When clients come in for relaxing massage many have the same problems of the neck and shoulders being tight due to the workplace environment that their in.  Stress of course is one of the highest complaints along with the office jobs that require long hours of sitting in the same position.

So for awareness of change, I wanted to share these videos of how to look at stress in a different light along with a video showing different chairs that can help to save your posture. Also an article focusing on posture and breathing techniques that can help in everyday life and work environment. Hope this helps!!!

A Holistic View Posture and Breath
By Mary Bond

As the holistic paradigm joins the mainstream, most of us are increasingly aware that everything is connected to everything else. Within this vision we acknowledge correspondence between body and mind, but most of us haven't yet regarded our posture through a holistic mirror. The usual idea of good posture is an ideal positioning of the chest, shoulders, and neck. This idealized picture is so common that the mere mention of posture in public provokes sheepish adjustments of spines and shoulders.

Incorporating Reflexology into Your Life
by Shirley Vanderbilt

You walk on them all day, but did you know your feet do more than carry you from one place to the next? They also have a unique connection to balanced health and well-being. In a form of bodywork known as reflexology, the feet are said to contain reflex areas that mirror and connect to all parts of the body--and pressure on these points can actually influence your state of health.

Morton’s Toe: One Little Bone, One Big Problem
by Linda Fehrs, LMT

The human body contains many wonderful things. Most of them have been handed down genetically, from parent to child, and there is little we can do to change them. One such trait is called Morton’s Toe. Only about 10 percent of the world population has this attribute, where the second toe appears longer than the first. About 80 percent of those with Morton’s Toe suffer from chronic pain. Much of it is thought to derive from this relatively rare foot configuration. Learn how discomfort from Morton’s Toe can be eased using massage therapy.

Ancient foot massage may ease cancer symptoms.

A study led by a Michigan State University researcher offers the strongest evidence yet that reflexology – a type of specialized foot massage practiced since the age of pharaohs – can help cancer patients manage their symptoms and perform daily tasks.

Funded by the National Cancer Institute and published in the latest issue of Oncology Nursing Forum, it is the first large-scale, randomized study of reflexology as a complement to standard cancer treatment, according to lead author Gwen Wyatt, a professor in the College of Nursing.

The stress-relieving benefits of massage have been well documented, but a recent study shows that massage may have more profound benefits that just relieving stress and relaxing tight muscles.  

The study, published in the journal BMJ, looked at the benefits of massage for brain cancer patients. To be expected, these patients often suffer from neurological problems, which affect their physical functioning, their cognitive abilities and their psychological well-being. 

They also have to deal with the progressive nature of their illness and difficult treatments like radiation, surgery and chemotherapy. Brain cancer patients typically report a high prevalence of depression and other mental disorders.
