Dealing with Emotional Inflammation

Unprocessed emotions such as grief and worry can often lead to what is termed “emotional inflammation”. When an emotion is suppressed for any reason, it can lead to physical ailments such as depression and anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, and even pain throughout our body. Accepting these emotions and learning to process them can be difficult and we often numb ourselves chemically or behaviourally. However, we can incorporate positive changes into our lives to help process emotions. Homeopathy can help with the physical symptoms, as well as learning to accept, process, and release emotions from our physical body, allowing ourselves to heal

Keeping Your Prostate Healthy

Maintaining a healthy prostate is important for managing conditions like prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), as well as potentially reducing the risk of prostate cancer. Some symptoms that may occur with a prostate condition include urgency, frequency and pain during urination, weak urine flow, fatigue, back pain, and blood in the urine/semen. Naturopathic doctors can provide support to those experiencing prostate conditions (including helping to reduce some treatment side effects) through nutritional support (dietary journal and guidance for proper diet), acupuncture, Bemer Therapy (increases microcirculation), intravenous nutrient therapy, and sweat detoxification through sauna and hyperthermia.

Self Care and Desires

Cultivating time for ourselves has never been more important. The Winter season is the perfect time to slow down, reflect on your desires and goals, and inspire change. Someone who has a deep personal connection with themselves can trust more, feel safe & cultivate better communication between their mind, body, and soul. Being on this level allows you to relate, trust and communicate with others, being more of your truly authentic self. At Back2Nature Wellness and Adventures, we offer many experiences and services that allow you to achieve this deep connection with your mind, body, and soul, for continued success and harmony within!

Digital Presence after Death

Receiving a birthday notification for a friend that has passed away is rattling and painful. Planning your own funeral is important and so is thinking about what happens to your online presence after your death. For close family and friends, your social media may be something they want to keep to reflect on times shared with you. Your social media profiles may also be used as a way for people to share condolences. Once you’ve decided what you’d like to happen to your digital footprint, consider including your wishes in your will or in a separate letter to your chosen legacy contact.

All Movement Counts

It’s hard to feel motivated to get enough activity in the winter months, but despite our desire to hibernate, it’s important for us to keep moving. The good news is that every bit of movement counts, even just a few minutes at a time. Try getting up and standing more often, playing music and dancing, and taking the stairs instead of the elevator – even just one flight! You can also play actively with your pets and do simple exercises or stretches while watching TV. Try setting an alarm on your phone to remind yourself to move frequently!

Final Wishes – Cremation

Today, many Canadians are choosing cremation as an alternative to traditional burial. Although cremation may seem like the simpler choice, selecting cremation is just the first step in deciding how best to celebrate a life well lived.
