facebook.comMindfulness ways to deal with September | Naturopathic Perspectives
September can feel like the start of a New Year. Summer holidays are behind us, kids are back to school, and we are back in to our regular (hectic) routines. That is why it is important to take time for yourself before stressors build up. Consider starting some mindfulness techniques to deal with daily stressors before you are too frazzled to cope. Some ideas: 1. start your day with yoga and a sun salutation 2. deep breathe and envision your breath entering, nourishing, and leaving your body 3. experiment with your favourite essential oil; rub a few drops in your hands then inhale deeply 4. Zen doodle or colour 5. have a massage, bowen or acupuncture treatment 6. go for a hike in the woods Staying ahead of stress means it can’t negatively impact our health http://naturopathicperspectives.ca/mindfulness-ways-to-deal-with-september/
The collapse of parenting: Why it’s time for parents to grow up
Good read: http://www.macleans.ca/society/the-collapse-of-parenting-why-its-time-for-parents-to-grow-up/
For all you outdoorsy-folks out there, you may have noticed the rampant increase in poison ivy this summer. My family and I certainly did! This, however, enabled me to hone my skills on how to treat it. If you have been exposed to poison ivy (remember: Leaves of Three, Let them Be), you will want to lather up with good old dish soap (something to cut the oil - ie sunlight or dawn) and rinse the suds downward in the shower. You'll also want to wash your hiking clothes and shoes. Then, if you notice intensely itchy skin or little blisters in the days following your potential exposure, rub Jewelweed leaves &/or stem on your itchy skin. Jewelweed is an impatien that grows in moist forests. You'll find it in July, but it starts to flower in August. And voila! Poison Ivy crisis averted!
