Using Meditation to Strengthen Your Immune System

One study conducted by the University of Wisconsin showed that meditation may be more effective than exercise at preventing the cold and flu. They also found that if you do get sick, meditation effectively reduced symptom severity. Infante et al. found that compared to non-meditators, those with an established meditation practice had higher levels of B lymphocytes and natural killer cells, cells the body uses to protect itself from foreign invaders. Even in new meditators, Davidson and colleagues found similar benefits. They noted that compared to the control group, after an eight-week mindfulness meditation program they had increased immune responses to foreign invader cells. As additional research is conducted in the field of meditation and immunology, it seems very likely that we will continue to learn great things from this long-standing practice.

Dry Skin Brushing for Health

// August 27th, 2009 // No Comments » // Events

“Dry skin brushing is one of the finest of all baths – no soap can wash the skin as clean as the new skin you have under the old. Skin brushing removes the old dead layers. This helps eliminate uric acid crystals, catarrh & various other acids in the body.” Dr. Bernard Jensen

Skin is considered the largest organ of the body. The primary purpose of the skin is assisting in the elimination of the body’s wastes. Interesting enough, the body makes new skin every 24 hours. Healthy skin should eliminate approximately 2 pounds of waste daily.

Dry skin brushing helps all of the body systems to preform at peak efficiency. It increases and stimulates blood circulation in all the underlying organs, connective tissue and lymphatic system.

Okay, here’s the list of benefits:  tightens skin, aids digestion, removes cellulite, increases cell renewal, aids lymph system, removes dead skin layers, improves cell exchange, strengthens immune system, stimulates gland function and helps in rejuvenating the nervous system.

So, why not treat yourself to a daily dose of loving your body….
