Very often the brain and nervous system become fatigued and overloaded. Much like a computer receiving too much data all at once, the brain can become overwhelmed, slow down, or even crash. This can result in an inability to focus, brain fog, memory loss, ADD/ADHS-like symptoms, a “wired” feeling, or the inability to cope with daily life. Alternative approaches such as Biofeedback testing and treatment are highly effective in improving focus and concentration. It detects imbalances, or weaknesses, in the stress-handling areas of the body, and in turn, stimulates the affected areas to help the mind and body better function in times of overload, overwhelm, and fatigue.

Allergy Season Is Back
Many people suffering from seasonal hypersensitivities, such as head pressure, itchy eyes, and a runny or stuffy nose this allergy season will find only temporary relief, or no relief at all, from over-the-counter remedies. Alternative approaches, such as nutritional supplementation and Biofeedback focus on more than just symptomatic relief. They enable the body’s ability to remove existing allergens embedded in the sinus tissues, thereby minimizing the histamine and inflammatory reactions. This stops the over-production of mucus that the body makes to try and push the allergens out. Take a different approach this allergy season – treat the cause, not just the symptoms.

Maintain a Healthy Bathroom
Bathrooms can be full of germs and bacteria, so besides cleaning weekly, it’s important to do a deep clean once a month. Because bacteria in bathrooms can cover all surfaces and spread quickly, cleaning regularly with antibacterial products can help ensure you avoid any illnesses or infections that can be caused by stomach and bacterial viruses. Mould is also a concern in bathrooms and can cause respiratory problems, as well as chronic health problems long-term. Keep these potential issues at bay by giving your bathroom a monthly deep clean, or call a cleaning service for a bit of extra help!
