Protect Yourself and Your Family in Flu Season.

  • Practice regular moderate physical activities with walking on fresh air, enough sleep to allow your body recover after routine daily activities.
  • Take immune friendly foods high in vitamin C and minerals Zn, Se, EFA and probiotics. Eat a lot of vegetables and fruits garlic, berries, etc...
  • Alkalize your body. In acid environment your immune system is working less efficiently. Keep your body more alkaline through diet or using pH Balance tablets.
  • Wash your hands. Washing hands frequently with hot soapy water will destroy most viruses and you will be less likely to get disease.
  • Protect your mucous membranes. Viruses and bacteria enter your body through mucous membranes. Delivery of natural substances directly with nebulizer will help to protect your mucous membranes.
  • Keep your lymphatic circulatory system moving. Lymphatic system is very important in fighting infections. Lymphatic drainage will improve the health of lymphatic system and increase your response to foreign invaders.
  • Take an action. Defend against colds and flues naturally. Be prepared for winter season.

    A useful way to think about Mindfulness Meditation is to think of it in much the same way as you would think about any science. Because, in fact, that is exactly what it is. And, when you begin to practice Mindfulness Meditation, you are becoming a scientist.

    Headaches: Learn What Headaches Are, What Causes Them, Different Types and Treatments


    Headaches: Varieties, Causes and Treatments

    Very seldom do we meet a man or woman who has never experienced a headache: such a person would be an incredibly lucky individual. As for the rest of us, of course, nothing is more exhausting and depressing than a splitting headache. The majority of sufferers simply take analgesics and treat the pain symptomatically. However, occasionally the sufferer will notice that the headache occurs more often and there is a need to increase frequency and dosage of medication; clearly, this is a disturbing signal, and a sign that the sufferer needs to address this health issue promptly through a visit to the expert; chronic headaches can signal gross infringements in the body, and need proper attention.

    The Art of Life Center offers consultation, relief and permanent healing for chronic and acute headache conditions using only natural remedies and methods.

    The Center’s philosophy is that treatment relies on correct diagnosis. Reliance on natural medicine is aimed not necessarily on symptomatic relief, but rather on identifying and addressing the root or systemic headache causes in order to achieve complete recovery.

    Modern diagnostic bases, including Voll’s detailed diagnostic method, are used to evolve a complex treatment approach. Remedies often used include naturopathic products, intravenous cocktails, homeopathic medicines, detoxification therapy, acupuncture, applied physiotherapy, and massage. As a rule, optimum results are achieved.

    Obviously, it is not possible to list all types of headaches. But, for example, acute localized head pain is one of the most frequent reactions to any internal or external undesirable changes; these can range from diet to emotional discomfort to weather changes. They include hypertensive crises and torturing migraines; an exhausting band-like tension around the head that may last several days. Intracranial pressure fluctuations may cause pressure around the forehead, accompanied by dizziness. The neuralgic headache is characterized as severe, piercing, and localized. There are headaches caused by back and neck problems, psychogenic and psychosomatic headaches etc.

    Frequent headaches are caused by neurotoxicity and are directly connected with condition of the liver and intestines. Even the non-specialist knows that headache can be a symptom of chronic constipation, as neurotoxins absorbed from the intestines enter directly into the bloodstream and irritate brain tissue. Similarly, the liver can be affected: the failure to maintain a fresh diet, along with the abuse of analgesics, antibiotics, and hormones, presents an intoxication burden that barely any liver will maintain. Thus support is required to target and cleanse the accumulated toxins. If necessary, individualized complex treatment will include natural detox products as well as Ionic Cleansing, Lymphatic Drainage, and Infra-Red Body Wrap for a deep cellular detoxification.

    It is not necessary to suffer! Seeing an expert will establish the causes of each headache syndrome, at the symptomatic, systemic, and cellular levels.

    For everyone, who would like to learn more how to get rid of a headache, visit The Art of Life Center’s Open House on August, 25th @ 6:30 pm at 885 Don Mills Road, #121, tel. (416) 499-6747.

    Health Is the Basis of Womanly Beauty and Youth

    Health Is the Basis of Womanly Beauty and Youth, article The Art of Life Health Centre, TorontoScreenshot: Health Is the Basis of Womanly Beauty and Youth
    2011 @ theartlife.ca

    "Beauty will save the world", said the great Russian novelist Dostoevsky. The beauty of a woman consists not only in her physical appearance, but also her feelings, her state of health, her self-confidence, and her confidence in her future.

    Researchers of the world’s best laboratories are devoted to problems of female beauty. In the modern market of cosmetology, new technologies and methods are being developed for the maintenance and improvement of physical appearance. Examples of these are lasers and vitamin hypodermic cocktails, Botox and hyaluronic acids, peelings and dermo-abrasive procedures, chemical and electro-coagulations, and many topical applications based on advanced recipes.

    It is wonderful that cosmetology science evolves and offers a fantastic choice; however, it is not easy to understand these varieties. For those women seeking to take advantage of this broad new science, only qualified experts with medical education can define which products will benefit you and which ones potentially can cause harm.

    One such team of experts works at the Center of natural medicine The Art of Life. The combined effort and professional experience of these professionals, providing a complex, holistic approach to a woman’s body, allows them not just to treat external symptoms, but to reveal and eliminate the deeper roots of problematic physical appearance.

    It is useless to fight wrinkles between the eyebrows if they have appeared from a chronic pain: no facial mask will change a grey complexion of your skin if it is caused by toxicity of the liver; saggy skin can be toned only temporarily in the case of chronic insomnia; it is useless to struggle with belly fat if there is underlying hypothyroidism. In short, there is no point in fighting the consequences; instead these holistic methods address the causes.

    At the Center, experts will correct the underlying conditions leading to outer imperfections, and will then teach each woman individualized self-care for the optimum condition of her skin. This approach offers unquestionable results for those interested not only in a superficial cosmetic effect, but also in longer-term medical changes. To achieve this objective, The Art of Life has diverse, specialized equipment from Europe, Israel and Japan.

    Computer diagnostics will precisely define the particular internal organ malfunctions and /or microelement deficiencies that provoke the unique, undesirable skin effect. Thereafter, recommendations are made for homeopathic or naturopathic remedies for normalization of particular conditions.

    Infrared Body Wraps (IBW), in combination with Lymphatic Drainage equipment, will promote deep, effective detoxification at a cellular level. Physical appearance will improve as immune system function is boosted, the edematous condition of legs or various veins is eased, cellulite expression is reduced. The skin will tighten, and fatty folds recede; the waist will become slim, and the posture elegant.

    Pulsed magnetic field treatment (PMFT), working in a combination with the infra-red laser, will remove any skin and muscle inflammation, eliminate epidermis peeling and herpes displays, and regenerate degenerated spinal disks, restoring dignity to the bearing, as well as renewed pleasure to bodily movement.

    Low interferential currents (IFC) will remove any muscular spasms and painful sensations originating from pinched nerves. Radial acoustic shock wave therapy (RSWT) will address problems with heel spurs and other painful skeletal conditions.

    A well-groomed person can achieve the effect of good health as a result of professional makeup. However, the true signs of wellness are shining eyes, a light gait that attracts men’s attention, a natural smile, and a good mood, which in itself activates the immune system, directly influences well-being, and improves physical appearance. These factors reflect your internal health, and cannot be artificially applied!

    If you are interested in long-term cosmetic effects, and if a holistic approach to your health and beauty sounds appealing, The Art of Life invites you to visit our Open House, which takes place on Wednesday, July 20, at 6:30 pm. We will gladly acquaint you with original procedures and hardware novelties, as well as answering your questions.
