Ozonotherapy or Prolozone Therapy is the use of medical-grade ozone, a highly reactive form of pure oxygen, to create a curative response in the body. The body has the potential to renew and regenerate itself. When it becomes sick, it is because this potential has been blocked. The reactive properties of ozone stimulate the body to remove many of these impediments, allowing the body to do what it does best – heal itself. Ozone also helps with detoxification and enhances brain function. It activates the immune system and can stimulate damaged joints and degenerative discs to help regenerate, as well as can dramatically reduce or even eliminate many cases of chronic pain.

Reiki After Surgery
Reiki has been found to be a complementary therapy that can play an important role in a patient’s post-operative care. A research study done in 2000 at Hartford Hospital in Connecticut indicated that Reiki improved patient sleep by 86%, reduced pain by 78%, reduced nausea by 80%, and reduced anxiety during pregnancy by 94%. The deep relaxation experienced can also improve circulation by allowing more blood flow to areas that are currently being treated.
Over 800 hospitals in the USA now include this energy therapy as a regular part of their patient service programs, often with their own Reiki-trained physicians, nurses, and support staff!
Dr. Mehmet Oz, one of the most respected cardiovascular surgeons in the States, makes use of Reiki practitioners before, during and after surgery and says, “Reiki has become a sought-after healing art among patients and mainstream medical professionals.”
There are also a number of well-designed, reputable scientific studies that have been done that provide evidence showing Reiki has a therapeutic effect on the body, not just a psychological one.
Even so, for every scientific study, there seems to be exponentially more anecdotal references to this fact as more and more people discover for themselves Reiki’s beneficial effects pre and post surgery.
- Stress/anxiety reduction
- Less medication needed
- Improved sleep
- Better appetite
- Less nausea
- Earlier discharge from hospital
- More positive outlook
- Reduction in side effects from drugs/procedures
Pet Health: Product Review
It’s officially cold season, and not just for people. While dogs can’t “catch” a cold from their humans (the viruses that cause colds in people are generally species-specific), many viruses do infect dogs, such as canine adenovirus type 2, canine respiratory coronavirus, and canine parainfluenza virus. It’s important to see your veterinarian if your dog is ill, but the HB Naturals Cold & Congestion Essential Oils Blend is a natural and effective remedy to be used in conjunction with traditional veterinary care. The natural ingredients found in this product include Eucalyptus radiata, Cinnamomum camphora (Ravintsara), Melaleuca quinquenervia bs. viridiflora (Niaouli), and Cannabis sativa (hemp seed) oil.
Optimize Your Eyes
What many people may not know is that not all progressive lenses are the same. Sure, there are your conventional ones, but now there are also lenses equipped with computer technology in the surface region of the lens. Not your average pair of glasses! Talk about high quality. This is called Freeform Progressive Technology. Freeform lenses can sharpen vision, provide brighter colours, and reduce glare caused by light sources at night. Many leaders in the vision industry see free-form technology as the revolution of vision.
Back to School!
Another school year is underway! It is very important for students to be mindful of their posture. The weight of a heavy backpack, slouching over taking notes, and looking down at a screen for long periods of time are only a few of the ways that one can compromise good posture, causing neck, shoulder and back soreness.
Tip 1: Sit all the way back in the seat of the chair, and make use of the backrest
Tip 2: Carry your backpack on both shoulders
Tip 3: Stand up and do a pectoral stretch in a doorway a few times throughout the day
Back-to-School Vision Care
Along with the usual back-to-school preparations, children’s vision should rank high in importance. It is not unusual for the refractive status of eyes to change up to age 18, but these changes are more likely during the early growth years. Young kids might not readily notice problems at a time when 80% of what they learn is through the eyes. In addition, eye muscle imbalances can affect reading and concentration, both of which are important for academic success and a confident student. Arrange for a professional and comprehensive oculo-visual assessment, including ocular health, for your child soon!
Do You Have Low Immunity?
Bioresonance therapy can be used to improve your immune system. The immune system is made up of a network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body against disease. When functioning properly, the immune system identifies and attacks a variety of threats, including viruses, bacteria, and parasites, while distinguishing them from the body’s own healthy tissue. One of the important types of cells involved is white blood cells. Bioresonance therapy can energize the white blood cells so they can do their job more efficiently, helping to boost your immune system.
The State of Wellness
It is very easy to speak of wellness as being in that state where one feels good. While this is one of the main features of it, wellness also includes feeling strong, content, and confident in that quiet knowledge that no matter what happens, you will come out on top… a winner. This is the feeling and confidence that becomes the norm for those who have the experience of being connected in body, mind, and soul to the essence of who they really are.
This state of being is achievable when we integrate the physical body and the emotional body.

Supporting Your Quitter
If your friend or loved one is trying to quit smoking, there are many ways in which you can support them on their journey. Familiarize yourself with the reasons quitting can be so difficult by reading articles, brochures, and other information. Understand your own relationship with smoking and ensure you are celebrating their successes, being supportive, and avoiding being too critical. Be positive when the person you know who is quitting wants to talk about their goals, setbacks, and other aspects of the process. Helping to distract your friend or loved one, or helping them to de-stress, can also be a great way to offer support.
