ExerciseFor those with arthritis, exercise, no matter how little you do, is one of the best natural treatments. For those with severe arthritis, even the smallest amount of walking can make a difference. Swimming is one of the best forms of exercise for those with arthritis because it puts the least amount of impact on the joints.

Are you yawning through the day only to hit the pillow and be wide awake? Do you use sleeping pills to little effect and with fear that it will lead to more severe problems down the road?
What would your grandmother suggest?
Take a bath with epsom salts and lavender and bergamot essential oils. A magnesium deficiency can magnify stress and anxiety making it harder to go to sleep and stay asleep. Soaking in epsom salts gives your body the magnesium you need. Essential oils like lavender and bergamot are rich in linalool and linalyl acetate, compounds that have well-known relaxing properties.
For more suggestions of how to transform your sleep, join our complimentary 10 day Restful Sleep Challenge. You can order lavender and bergamot essential oils at www.mydoterra.com/amylandolt.

You’ve read all of the information on the internet, and have tried the standard recommendations – no electronics an hour before bed, listening to white noise, keeping the temperature in your bedroom under 68 – all to no avail.
Northshore Acupuncture Center is announcing a complimentary 10 day restful sleep challenge starting Monday, August 1st. Each day, challenge participants will receive an email with actions to take to support their sleep. The program was created by combining Chinese medicine knowledge with experience working with people with sleeping issues; it goes beyond the standard recommendations found in a google search about sleep issues.
The activities will help participants fall asleep more quickly, get the rest they are desperately seeking without the side effects, spend less time worrying about sleep, and reclaim their health and happiness.
If you are interested in learning more about the challenge, you can contact Amy at 815.814.1319 or enroll at www.restfulsleepchallenge.com.
Believe it or not, when you’re exercising your body, you’re exercising your mind as well. Aerobic exercise gets your blood pumping, which increases the oxygen going to your brain and lowers your risk of disorders such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease that can lead to memory loss. If you can, start with some exercise in the morning. This can clear your head right off the bat to stay focused and alert during the day. Exercises that require coordination are especially helpful for keeping the mind active such as simply throwing a ball back and forth. continue reading
