It’s time to do mental healthcare differently and The Mood & Mind Club is where we start! Let’s empower ourselves to take back control of our health and throw away the band-aid approaches that don’t offer the lasting results we need. In this private membership we’re creating a community of women that are supporting their mental health in a more natural, holistic way. They don’t want to be on meds, they see the power in nutrition, mindset work, self discovery and self responsibility. Want to know more? Visit https://www.shinetruewellnessco.com/moodandmindclub

Clients often ask me, why do their ears seem to produce more earwax since wearing hearing aids? Hearing aids can stimulate the ear canal gland and cause it to produce more earwax than normal. This is why so many people report an increase of earwax when they begin using hearing aids: it’s how the body naturally reacts to something foreign in the ear. Up to 50% of hearing aid repairs are due to ear wax. Ear cleaning should also be a part of your hearing aid maintenance routine.

Q: At my last eye exam I was told to clean my eyelids more often. I was rather shocked because I’m proud of my hygiene. Is this for real?

A: Yes – but don’t think of it as a hygiene problem. The edges of the eyelids and eyelashes have their own complexion and biochemistry, as well as their own unique set of microorganisms. For some people, keeping these areas extra clean is a good way to reduce symptoms of chronic irritation of the eyes. There are numerous products to help you with this. Try to stick with it! If you’re experiencing this common issue, or are overdue for your regular eye exam, Mosaic Optometry is here to help.

Tooth pain can arise from various reasons, causing discomfort and affecting daily activities. The most common cause is tooth decay, where bacteria erode the enamel and reach the sensitive inner layers. Gum disease, characterized by inflammation and infection of the gums, can also lead to tooth pain. Dental abscesses, which are pus-filled infections, often result from untreated decay or severe gum disease. Tooth fractures or cracks can expose the nerves, causing sharp pain. Additionally, tooth sensitivity to hot or cold stimuli may indicate enamel erosion or gum recession. It is essential to seek professional dental care to diagnose and treat the underlying cause of tooth pain.
