Stepping into a warm tub harkens and Depression back to the safety of the womb while offering abundant health benefits. Opting for a bath instead of a shower can not only help minimize headaches, insomnia, menstrual cramps, depression and chronic pain, but soothe a burnt-out nervous system. It can also enliven stagnant blood and lymphatic fluids, enabling metabolic waste to be carried out of the body through perspiration. “Hydrotherapy is used in many natural health systems for a wide variety A good bath can lower chronic systemic inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. It can also impact how the body uses insulin.

Sea salts on those with osteoarthritis of the knee, as well as rheumatoid arthritis.
Fortifying the bath with Epsom salts, evaporated sea salt or Himalayan pink salt is highly beneficial. “Himalayan salt has 84 valuable trace minerals, including potassium, magnesium and sodium. It draws out toxins, cleanses the skin and helps cleanse the body energetically,” says Hellen Yuan, founder of the bath product company Hellen, in Brooklyn.
Adding bundles of fresh or dried herbs or snipping them into sachets can strengthen immune response and provide a welcome antidote to work-related stress. “Aromatic herbs and essential oils are inhaled through our olfactory system and make a beeline to our brains, signaling that it’s time to relax or feel energized,” says Adelmann, who emphasizes practical common sense. “Although flowers and leaves floating in the tub make for lovely social media posts, most household plumbing cannot handle big, bulky plant material. The simplest way to add herbs to a bath is by making a super-concentrated tea.” Hardin concurs, recommendingfresh or driedlavender, flowering goldenrod tops, holy basil leaves (tulsi, Ocimum tenuiflorum) or calendula blossoms.
Sacred Waters
Baths are good medicine for both genders. “Men carry so much stress in their bodies and typically hold in a lot of tension. A good bath brew eases the muscles and replenishes the mind and soul,” says Yuan.
Bathing can be the ultimate sacred offering to the body. From her wood-fired outdoor tub at the edge of a starlit mesa, Hardin advises, “Efforts need not be expensive or time-consuming. Just focused intent will inherently return a sufficient degree of sensuality, magic and beauty to the bath.”

Essential Oils and Safety Tips From Hellen Yuan:Foot bathsare a great alternative to a full-body bath because of the 72,000-plus nerve endings in our feet and the six acupuncture meridian points.
From Marlene Adelmann:
Essential oils shouldalways be properly diluted and dispersed in oil, thick aloe vera leaf gel, Castile soap or a dispersing agent such as Solubol. Water, alcohol and hydrosol are not safe carriers, as they do not disperse the essential oils. For aromatherapy bath salts, dilute essential oils in a small amount of oil before stirring into the salt. For nut allergies, avoid almond oil.
Nourishing Additions Add Zing to Bath Waters
Organic apple cider vinegar: 1 cup to a bath to balance skin pH levels, combat yeast infections and soothe sunburn
Himalayan salt: ½ cup to bath water for acne, eczema and psoriasis
Dead Sea salts or sea salt: ½ cup to bath water for psoriasis and arthritis pain
Chamomile flowers or organic, dried rose petals: 1 extra-strong cup to bath water for relaxation and better sleepor use herbs gathered in a muslin bag or sock and steep in the bath
Ginger:½ cup shredded fresh ginger or 1 teaspoon ginger powder to bath water for increasing the body’s chi, boosting immunity and relieving pain. Follow-up with a shower to rinse off perspiration (contraindicated in the presence of high blood pressure, diabetes or a history of heart disease)
Epsom salts:½ cup added to the bath to fortify magnesium and boost serotonin, which can increase energy and stamina, decrease irritability and adrenaline, lower blood pressure, increase concentration and improve sleeping habits
Essential oils: 5 to 7 drops mixed well into bath salts—lavender (for nervous system support), eucalyptus or tea tree (congestion, colds, flu), geranium (adrenal and reproductive hormonal support), pine or fir needle (adrenal and nervous system support)
Marlene Adelmann’s Go-to Bath Recipes: Herbal Bath De-Stress Tea
¼ cup lemon balm leaves ¼ cup chamomile flowers ¼ cup peppermint leaves ¼ cup rose petals

3Avoid cleaning toxins:The COVID-19 pandemic has many of us reaching for virus-zapping bleach disinfectants, but Gilbert advises not to overuse them. Once the viral threat is past, it’s wise to go back immediately to natural cleaners like vinegar and baking soda. A 2015 study in Occupational & Environmental Medicine of more than 9,000 children ages 6 to 12 in Spain, Holland and Finland found the incidence of infections such as flu, tonsillitis, sinusitis, bronchitis and pneumonia was more prevalent in homes where bleach was used.
4Get them outside around dirt: Whether toddlers are making mud pies, older kids are growing gardens or teens are kicking up dust on the sports field, childrens’ immune systems thrive when they meet the microbial richness of dirt and the vitamin-D boost of the sunny outdoors. In a study in The New England Journal of Medicine that focused on two technology-free communities, Amish children that lived and worked at old-fashioned family dairy farms had a quarter and a fifth the rate of asthma and allergies, respectively, as Hutterite children that lived off-site from their community’s large industrialized farms. Georgetown University researchers report that sunlight, besides producing vitamin D, energizes infection-fighting T-cells in the skin that play a central role in human immunity.
5Get them a pet:The dirt, germs and fur that dogs and cats bring to a house may be just what young immune systems need. Finnish researchers follow
ing 397 babies found those that grew up in homes with pets were 44 percent less likely to develop an ear infection and 29 percent less likely to receive antibiotics than pet-free babies. Canadian researchers found that babies from families with pets—70 percent of which were dogs—showed higher levels of two types of microbes linked to lower risks of becoming allergic and obese. They theorize that exposure to dirt and bacteria early in life—for example, in a dog’s fur and on its paws—can create early immunity.

Not only will they enjoy this treat, but it offers a powerhouse of nutrition. Sardines provide pets with healthy fats such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), otherwise known as omega-3 fatty acids. They also provide vitamin D 3 , B 12 , coenzyme Q 10 and amino acids. Not bad for a small fish.
Cow’s milk for pets is pretty much a no-no. They do not tolerate its high level of alpha-s1-casein protein. Goat’s milk, on the other hand, contains extremely low to no amounts of this protein, and so allows better absorption of the nutrients. Goat’s milk also supplies essential nutrients such as iron, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, vitamin B 5 and A, as well as healthy fats, enzymes and minerals, making it a good choice for the liquid component in this frozen treat.

Blueberries are quite popular as a healthy fruit for good reason. They are the most antioxidant fruit around.

They also have high amounts of EPA and DHA, making these little berries quite the superfood.
Carrots offer a great crunch. They also are a fine source of betacarotene, vitamin A, fiber and potassium. Not just a calming herb, lavender is also anti-inflammatory and even aids in digestion.

As we’re enjoying summer, there are some risks to our furry family members. In addition to proper parasite control, especially fleas, ticks, and heartworms, here are a few tips to keep pets happy and healthy as the weather warms.
1Fresh water keeps pets hydrated and minimizes the risk of heat exhaustion/ stroke. Check a pet’s water several times each day and keep the bowl full. Don’t forget that water evaporates quicker when it’s warmer.
2Keep pets inside if possible. If it’s too hot for people, it’s definitely too hot for furry pets. If pets must be kept outdoors, provide plenty of shade, ensure air flow, and lots of fresh water (even using multiple water bowls).
3Clip pets because longer-haired dogs and cats are more comfortable as it warms when their hair is clipped shorter and closer to their body.
4Watch the sun. Pets, especially lighter coated/skinned pets can get burned, and excess sun exposure can cause skin cancer in pets. Sunscreens made for people are usually safe for pets, but always check with a veterinarian first.
5Never leave pets unattended in the car. 6 Watch noises. Pets can get stressed with fireworks, larger gatherings, cookouts and storms. It’s cruel to not consider a pet’s emotional state during these times. When needed, short-term use of safe conventional antianxiety medications may be considered, but natural remedies such as CBD oil and herbs such as valerian and lavender are also worthy of consideration. Many CBD oils have little efficacy, so, follow a vet’s advice on the best, mosteffective CBD oil that could help a pet.
7Enjoy water safely. Many pets love being in the water, but can’t naturally swim and die when they can’t get out of a pool. Think of the pet as a child and keep them away from the water unless they are strictly supervised.
8Exercise care on walks. Walking a pet in the middle of a 100-degree, 90 percent humidity day is torture. This is simply asking for trouble, such as fatal heat stroke. Limit walks to early morning or later evening hours when the sun is hiding.
