Sound baths are a meditative experience that uses soothing sounds and vibrations from instruments like gongs, singing bowls, and chimes to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety. As participants lie down and listen, the resonant tones help slow brainwaves, encouraging a deep state of calm and mindfulness. These frequencies can shift the nervous system from a stressed, fight-or-flight state to one of rest and restoration. Many find that regular sound baths ease physical tension, quiet racing thoughts, and enhance emotional well-being. While not a replacement for therapy, sound baths can be a supportive, holistic tool for managing stress and anxiety naturally.

Gum Disease While Wearing Dentures?
Dentures are a common solution for individuals with missing teeth, providing functional and aesthetic benefits. However, it’s important to remember that wearing dentures does not eliminate the risk of gum disease. In fact, improper denture care can contribute to gum problems. Gum disease can manifest as redness, swelling, and bleeding gums. When plaque and bacteria accumulate on dentures or denture-supporting tissues, it can lead to inflammation and infection. To prevent gum disease, it’s crucial to maintain proper oral hygiene by cleaning dentures thoroughly, letting your gums rest, and brushing the gums and tongue. Good oral care ensures a healthy smile, whether you have natural teeth or dentures.
Cortisone Injections for Injury Relief
Cortisone injections are commonly used to reduce inflammation and relieve pain from joint or soft tissue injuries. They contain corticosteroids, which mimic the body’s natural anti-inflammatory hormones. These injections are often administered directly into the affected area, such as a knee or shoulder. Relief may be felt within a few days and can last from weeks to months. Cortisone injections are typically part of a broader treatment plan, including rest, physical therapy, or other interventions to support long-term healing and prevent further injury.
