Vibroacoustic Therapy for Dementia
The prevalence of dementia is increasing with the ever-growing population of older adults. Non-pharmacological, vibration and sound-based interventions were reported by the Lancet Commission in 2020 to be the first-choice approach for managing the behavioural and psychological symptoms. Vibroacoustic Therapy is a therapeutic approach that harnesses the power of vibration and sound to alleviate some of the cognitive and emotional challenges faced by individuals living with dementia. Vibroacoustic therapy can trigger positive emotional responses, evoke memories, and enhance communication among dementia patients. It offers a non-pharmacological complement to manage symptoms and enhance the quality of life for both patients and their caregivers, fostering a sense of connection and comfort during a challenging journey.
Why Drink Red Rooibos?
Red rooibos tea offers a plethora of health benefits and sensory delights. It’s naturally caffeine-free, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a soothing, non-stimulating beverage. Rich in antioxidants, it bolsters the immune system and helps combat oxidative stress, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Red rooibos is also appreciated for its potential to lower blood pressure and promote good cholesterol levels. Its anti-inflammatory properties may alleviate allergy symptoms and skin conditions. Furthermore, the tea is a source of essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and zinc, benefiting bone health. Beyond health advantages, its earthy, slightly sweet flavor makes it a comforting and satisfying drink.
Denture Fit and Health
Improperly fitting dentures can cause mouth damage, including blisters, sores, cuts, and scrapes. These injuries lead to inflammation, bleeding, and increased risk of infection. Ill-fitting dentures may also hinder chewing, resulting in poor nutrition and health problems. Jaw pain caused by poorly fitting dentures can lead to headaches and earaches due to inflammation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). A misaligned bite affects facial muscles, leading to TMJ pain and temporomandibular disorder (TMD). TMD limits mouth opening, impacting eating, speaking, and oral health. Book your yearly exam to make sure your dentures still fit you perfectly.

NOVEMBER IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN MANITOBA
THE ISSUE
Intimate partner violence (IPV), also know as spousal or domestic violence is a prevalent form of gender-based violence (GBV). It refers to multiple forms of harm caused by current or former intimate partner
or spouse. Children who are exposed to IPV have serious impacts, and is considered a form of child maltreatment. IPV can happen in many forms of relationships including:
• Within a marriage, common-law, or dating relationship
• Regardless of the gender and sexual orientation of the partner
• At any time during a relationship even after it has ended
• Whether or not partners live together or are sexually intimate with one another
IT IS A GLOBAL PROBLEM: The World Health Organization (WH0) identifies IPV as a major global public health concern, and a pervasive public health, human rights & development challenge. It affects millions of people, resulting in immediate long-lasting health, social and economic consequences. Its effects reverberates through families, and across generations. It is a leading cause of death among adolescents and young adults in most parts of the world. Exposure to IVP increases individual’s lifelong vulnerability to a broad range of emotional, behavioural, and physical health problems. IPV directly effects health care expenditures, & indirectly national and local economies worldwide.(WHO).
