COVID-19 - Be proactive!
While COVID-19 is a new strain of respiratory infection, tried and true basic hygiene and healthy habits can help stem the transmission of the disease. Wash your hands frequently; the rule of thumb is to wash your hands long enough to sing "Happy Birthday" twice. Cover your mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing. Clean common surfaces with disinfectant --- doorknobs, work areas and desks, keyboards, cabinet handles. Avoid contact with anyone manifesting symptoms of a cold or flu. Limit your presence in public gatherings. If you do become sick, stay home.
More importantly, you can take steps to prepare your immune system to ward off infection or minimize the effect of coronaviruses.
Love is in the air!
"The Power of Love," the 1985 hit single from Huey Lewis and The News, describes love as "a curious thing." That's probably the understatement of all time! Throughout history, Love, that enigmatic entity, has been the focus of our music, literature, art; it has been a driving force behind our goals and dreams; inspiring, frustrating, fulfilling, intriguing --- love is an integral part of what it means to be human. Although this noun is intangible, it can be felt; unquantifiable, it can be cherished; incorporeal, it can be shared. Love moves us in myriad ways: fascinates, mesmerizes, taunts, intrigues, frustrates, inspires, fulfills, compels- Melody Besner

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
