Whole Body Heat Therapy - Guest Blog by Dr. Scott Gerson
Sarvanga Swedana (whole-body heating) is a treatment modality common in Ayurvedic clinical practice. Practiced either as a purvakarma (preparatory component) to Panchakarma (five detoxification procedures) or as an independent intervention, Swedana is an important part of Ayurvedic detoxification and rejuvenation treatments. The procedure can produce between 0.4 to 2.0 liters of sweat per treatment. Since water is the main content of sweat, many water-soluble waste products can be eliminated through swedana.- Melody Besner

Therasage is getting to the Heart of the Matter
Lately we have been hearing a lot of debate in the fitness world over the differences between aerobic and anaerobic exercise. For an example of aerobic activity, think "steady state cardio," such as cycling or running on the treadmill for 30 minutes or more. Anaerobic exercise, on the other hand, includes high intensity interval training (HIIT), which alternates between short bursts of activity followed by longer periods of rest.- Melody Besner
