The news is filled with concern and analysis of the impact of the Coronavirus, and rightfully so. Sadly, it is killing individuals and impacting much of the globe, including incomes and people’s investments negatively. From the investment side of things, this is not unlike an airline flight. You know where you are going and how long it takes to get there, and that turbulence is a possibility. If and when it hits, even severely, the last thing you would do is get up and walk around the cabin. If you are unduly shaken about how you’re invested, this problem was created well before this crisis and should be addressed with your advisor or discussed with a new one. Otherwise, hang on, this too shall pass.

Spring is often associated with re-birth, renewal and rejuvenation. As the earth rotates to increase daylight to the relevant hemisphere, our brains and bodies also need similar adjustment. Taking time to clean up our mental clutter is important to our sense of balance. Advanced technologies such as Direct Neurofeedback can help support this overall renewal of your mind and body by re-balancing the communication between the left and right parts of our brain. Optimizing our brainwave patterns, can lead to increased energy, elevated mood, improved sleep, and result in overall better productivity as we spring forward into optimal selves.

Essential oils can be great travelling companions. Be sure to keep a bottle of Eucalyptus essential oil in your carry-on. Eucalyptus is known as an immune booster and decongestant; if change of altitudes leads to sinus discomfort, inhale this before the plane takes off and while it lands. If you suffer from motion sickness, carry Ginger essential oil with you as it can prevent and reduce symptoms of nausea. Peppermint essential oil may help to prevent headaches caused by motion sickness or stress. If you know what ailments you are prone to, prepare for the journey beforehand by adding a few drops of the correct essential oil to aromatherapy jewelry, or a personal inhaler.

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 thus allowing the body to do what it does best – heal itself. Ozone speeds healing, detoxification and enhances brain function. It activates the immune system; it stimulates damaged joints and degenerative discs to regenerate and it can dramatically reduce or even eliminate many cases of chronic pain. There are professional medical ozonotherapy societies in over ten countries worldwide. http://www.AAOT.us
