Polluted air, devitalised foods and poor breathing habits can all lead to chronic oxygen deficiency, a bodily environment in which toxins thrive as the overall immune response is weakened. Through oxidative therapies - the medical use of ozone (O3) or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) - we can assist the body

Trauma is an inescapable part of living. The bad things that happen to us always leave after effects in both body and mind. While many people experience these after effects and move on, millions of others develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) - a painful, chronic and debilitating barrier to happiness. RECLAIMING LIFE AFTER TRAUMA addresses both the physical and psychological expressions of

Babies and toddlers develop naturally healthy alignment by moving in instinctive ways. Their posture is easy and relaxed, founded on correct pelvic positioning and deep core muscles to hold their bodies upright. Yet, as seen by the slouching epidemic seen in school-age children, most kids lose this natural alignment early in life, often due to an overreliance on pushchairs, baby seats and bucket-s

The liver is key to the optimal health of the body. Shouldering the heaviest responsibility for keeping the body's internal terrain clean, the liver not only filters toxins and cellular by-products out of the blood like other excretory organs, it, also, neutralises poisons, microbes, heavy metals and carcinogens. By supporting the liver, we support the health of the entire body. In this practical

According to a recent study, over 20 percent of men and 35 percent of women experience acne after the age of 30. At the same time, remote indigenous societies - such as the Inuit before they “moved to town” in the 1960s - experience no acne at all, even among their teenagers. Many things have been cited as causing acne, from sugar, chocolate or pizza to dirty pillowcases, hormones or genetics, but

And just as it is affecting the waters of our planet, Sedna's energies
