Botox is a quick fix that inhibits the muscle movements that cause expression lines. This immobilizes the muscle for esthetic effect, but can sometimes cause the muscle to atrophy. This is beneficial for those who want to achieve a more slimming appearance to their faces, but a great alternative to Botox is microcurrent treatments, which help to lift the face and plump the skin. Microcurrent treatments encourage cell physiology and growth by mirroring the natural current flow of the body. The process is also non-invasive, so no needles are required, helping patients to breathe a sigh of relief.

The State of Wellness
It is very easy to speak of wellness as being in that state where one feels good. While this is one of the main features of it, wellness also includes feeling strong, content, and confident in that quiet knowledge that no matter what happens, you will come out on top… a winner. This is the feeling and confidence that becomes the norm for those who have the experience of being connected in body, mind, and soul to the essence of who they really are.
This state of being is achievable when we integrate the physical body and the emotional body.

Using Honey for Health
Honey is one of nature’s precious gifts. It has many medicinal properties and can be used for treating coughs and colds, skin conditions, burns, wounds, and obesity. It is also an excellent tonic and carrier of Ayurvedic medicine. However, honey can aggravate pitta, as it has a heating quality. People who have a tendency to overheat should avoid honey. Always use raw organic honey, preferably from a local source. Honey should never be heated, cooked, or used to sweeten hot beverages. It becomes a slow poison, as heating alters the structure of honey, creating a glue-like substance that gets stuck in the tissues and clogs channels.
