The lymphatic system is a cirulatory system in the body. It’s cleaning cells and dumping toxins into the blood all the time to keep the body clean. But, unlike the blood, the lymphatic system has no pump. If you don’t move, the lymph doesn’t move. It waits for movement to ‘surf’ from the contraction of [...]
The Almighty Onion…is she more powerful than we previously thought?

After 2 amazing weeks in Costa Rica, we decided to head south to Panama to see what it had to offer.

They offer various retreats on meditation, juice fasting and yoga and [...]
1. No Gossip! Gossip feeds negative energy and that’s not a healthy frequency for healing! Speaking positively of others brings more alkalinity, joy and peace to you. 2. Clean out the pantry. Get rid of any old food that will not serve the New Healthy You for 2013. Organize your kitchen. 3. Make Time for [...]
