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.

The Body’s Three Brains
Did you know we actually have three brains in the body and when they work together, they create harmony and thus less stress? First, we have the head brain, which is meant to gather information about an issue. Then we have the heart brain, where we learn how we relate to an issue. Finally, we have the gut brain, which is where our decisions actually are required to come from. Many of us try to make our decisions with our head brain and get overwhelmed, as it was not designed for this. What is required is more focus on our heart brains and our gut brains – creating more harmony in the body and the mind when they all work together
Back-to-School Back Care
With the return of school comes the return of daily backpack wearing. Backpacks are designed with two shoulder straps to distribute weight evenly. Wearing only one strap at a time with the weight of textbooks and laptops can cause shoulder muscle strains and muscle imbalances. Long-term muscle imbalances can leave people, especially young, growing adults, susceptible to long-term injuries such as tendonitis. These injuries can be painful and bothersome to recover from. The best way to avoid these backpack-related issues is to use the backpack as intended. Your shoulders may thank you for it.
Medication: Take with Questions!
Medication mix-ups can and do happen. Asking questions is a powerful action that can improve medication safety. It’s easy for even the average person to lose track of what they are taking and how often they are taking it. Ask your pharmacist and other members of your healthcare team about your medications. Be sure to ask questions every time a new medication is prescribed, given, or purchased. And finally, ask questions in the hospital, at the pharmacy, and during healthcare appointments. Questions save lives; it’s safe to ask.
Essential Oils for Snoring
If you have tried all of the pillows, mouth guards, and gadgets advertised to help eliminate your own snoring or your spouse’s snoring, you may want to try essential oils that can assist in alleviating the problem. Diffusers are a great way to use essential oils at night, while some oils can be blended with carrier oils and applied directly to the body. Some of the more commonly used essential oils for snoring include lavender (promotes clear breathing), sage (clears out sinuses), thyme (promotes deeper sleep), cedarwood (stimulates the respiratory system), and marjoram (clears out sinuses).

Bioresonance Therapy for Better Health
The famous opera singer, Ella Fitzgerald, could break a wine glass by singing a note in high C. A principle called resonance plays a central role in the breaking of the wine glass. However, in the health field, this principle is called bioresonance, because it is concerned with living organisms. Sending certain frequencies into a body can affect the health of that person. There are frequencies that destroy toxins and pathogens just like the frequencies that destroyed the wine glass. Other frequencies can be beneficial to cells, tissues, and organs. This is how bioresonance improves one’s health.
Physiotherapy – Getting to the Core
An effective and efficient exercise program prescribed by a physiotherapist can reduce injury and improve function. One such program is Pilates core strengthening. When prescribed and instructed by a trained physiotherapist, it can lead to improved posture and spinal alignment. Pilates strengthens muscles in the deeper layers that act to stabilize the spine. The Pilates method combines modern exercise science with spinal rehabilitation, making it an excellent exercise choice for optimal spine health and function. Consult a physiotherapist for a program specific to your needs. Remember, inactivity is one of the leading causes of chronic health conditions in North America.
