Bile- the quart size missing ingredient for daily detox and effortless weight loss.
You know that probably nothing you can do in 2012 to lessen your toxic load or control your weight will be as important as keeping your liver in tip top shape. Most of us are familiar with herbal liver detoxifiers like milk thistle, Oregon grape root, and dandelion root. But these pale in comparison to the power of your own bile.
Your liver, in its innate wisdom, synthesizes and secretes about 1 ½ quarts of this miraculous substance on a daily… Continue reading A Happier You for the Holidays

Stress less with healing affirmations and flower power.
Holidays provide us with the perfect opportunity to reconnect with what’s really important in life and to reach out to friends and family.
But in the hustle and bustle of festivities, the holidays can be challenging in a number of ways. When I get harried, hassled and hungry, I try to remind myself of how important the daily messages that the mind sends the body can impact wellbeing and the ability to cope with stress.

A great gift idea to celebrate the season.
You wouldn't think of eating junk food day after day, so why smear toxic substances all over your skin—the largest organ of your body?

Heating Up for the Holidays

Tap into the detox dieting power of infrared sauna therapy.
Footbaths. Vibrational exercise machines. Infrared technology. It seems that high tech cleansing therapies are “hotter” than ever for the 2011 holiday season. Interestingly, the age-old method of sweating for body purification is even making a comeback.
