Cleaning with Hypochlorous Acid
Studies have shown that hypochlorous acid (HOCL) is an effective disinfectant and sanitizer that can be used in public places and homes to protect against a broad range of microorganisms. It’s also simple to make with just 1/2 gram of salt and 1 ml of vinegar added to water, which is then electrolyzed. The neutral charge of HOCL helps burst the cells of harmful microorganisms, and also helps it remove dirt and grease effectively. Recent research trials have shown that HOCL could also potentially be effective at killing the SARS-2-Covid virus on surfaces and within the body.

Did you know that the immune system’s ability nearly doubles for every 1 degree above normal your body temperature rises? A fever is extremely beneficial to help the immune system fight off disease.

While there are some cautions when it comes to fever, this bodily reaction can actually be a good thing sometimes, as it shows our immune system is kicking into high-gear. A couple of easy ways to cope include getting lots of rest and plenty of fluid intake.

Be Still…with Reiki!
Reiki is a gentle but powerful energy healing technique used for relaxation, stress reduction and balance that can promote healing on many levels. It is typically given by ‘laying on of hands’ as you lie on a massage table fully clothed. This higher frequency, positive energy flows through the hands of the practitioner into your energy field releasing ‘energy blockages’ by lifting and transforming lower frequency energies such as worry, fear, anger and anxiety. The deep relaxation experienced with Reiki can have many beneficial effects including more calm/stillness to the body & mind, better sleep, reduced stress & pain and reduction of overwhelm and anxiety.
