Bioresonance for Kidney Health
The kidneys play a crucial role in maintaining overall health but are rarely appreciated until they become damaged and can no longer do their jobs. They work day and night, 24/7 to filter out the harmful toxins we are exposed to on a regular basis. When the load of toxins gets too much for your kidneys to handle, their functioning slows down, making one susceptible to kidney stones, infections, cysts, tumours and then finally a shut down. Do you know how healthy your kidneys are? If you have never done a kidney detox before, now is the time.

Chiropractic Care may Reduce Depression
There are two primary reasons why visiting a chiropractor can help people suffering with depression. First, chiropractic care is known to reduce and eliminate physical pain, which can improve mental health, relieving depression. Chiropractic treatment can also improve the way the nervous system functions, which can have a positive effect on your mental and emotional wellbeing. The health of the spine has an impact on all aspects of physical and mental health so it’s important to remove stress from the spine in order to help the body and mind return to a higher state of health and wellness.
Float Your Worries Away
Floatation therapy is the practice of lying back and effortlessly floating in a custom-built, open-concept float tub and drifting into a blissful, deep, meditative state that rejuvenates and revives your mind and body. Not having the external influences of sight, sound, or touch helps move you into the meditative state faster. In this state, you can work towards healing, both emotionally and physically, in a completely natural way. Floatation therapy is used as a way to treat anxiety, stress, PTSD, depression, chronic pains, and many more issues we all face. It’s truly an amazing way to float your worries away.

What Defines Addiction?
Addiction is a primary, chronic disease of the brain. It is a condition in which a person engages in use of a substance or in a behaviour for which the rewarding effects provide a compelling incentive to repeatedly pursue the behaviour, despite detrimental consequences. There is scientific evidence that the addictive substances and behaviours share a key neurobiological feature—they intensely activate brain pathways of reward and reinforcement, many of which involve the neurotransmitter dopamine. Studies show that there are genetic factors, making some people more susceptible to addiction. Are you or someone you love suffering from addiction and looking for help?
