It's that time of year again... the thinning of the veils, the approach of All Hallows Eve, the time when the ethereal energies are at their strongest - leaving us much more vulnerable than usual. This is the best time of year for sage smudging, as it's the best method for keeping creepier entities at bay!
The practice of smudging has been around for thousands of years, seeming to cross continents and cultures (though the medium used to smudge may vary). But why is 'holy smoke' such a universal practice? Could there be any science behind it? Turns out, as with many other ancient practices, there is!
Why Smudging is Beneficial (Aside from keeping away ghosts and ghouls!)
In this email we will be addressing the benefits of smudging with Artemisia ludoviciana (white prairie sage), specifically.
We've gotten in a new, huge shipment of sage in! Come by and get yours today, and keep the ghosts and ghouls (or mold and dust bunnies) at bay!

With the school year and post-vacation workforce flow back in full swing, you may be finding yourself thinking a lot about PRODUCTIVITY. How many reports can you read, how many emails can you send, how many essays can you write, how many notes can you pack into one lecture or meeting?
And let's be honest, there may be some things that stand in the way of your ability to meet these goals. Brain fog, mood dips, lack of focus, to name a few. If only there was a remedy to such dilemmas... maybe a personal day off? More intensive self care? Another vacation? (don't get us started...)
Or maybe, it's as simple as taking a supplement!
If there was one supplement that we could recommend to EVERYONE, it would definitely be... Omega 3! With its wonderful anti-inflammatory abilities, Omega 3 is able to balance the body from the inside out, creating homeostasis physically AND mentally. And how can this help out your day to day life? Let us tell show you!
Omega 3's can help improve mood, combating depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders.
Omega 3's can reduce ADHD symptoms, improving focus and cognition.
Omega 3's can help you get a good night's sleep.

Omega 3's can reduce the effects of aging, inside and out.
Omega 3's are quite possibly the most efficient supplement there is!

We'd like to take the time to introduce you to a wonderful service provided by our friends over at Vista Wellness in Oakland!
Thermography, or Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI) is a non-invasive imaging procedure for monitoring physical conditions by showing thermal changes present in the body. Images can be taken of the breast, whole body, or area(s) of interest. DITI is FDA Registered, painless, does not employ the use of radiation, and involves no contact with the body. Our technicians are certified through the American College of Clinical Thermology (ACCT).
DITI provides for the earliest detection of breast health as well as many other issues via a technology that shows physiology and metabolic processes. X-Rays, CT Scans, Ultrasound, and MRIs are technologies which show structure. With DITI – an infrared heat-detecting camera displays the infrared energy emitted from the surface of your skin, reflected through the sympathetic nervous system, and it converts it into electrical impulses visualized in color.
Thermography is used across a wide variety of areas for evaluation and monitoring of various conditions including:
Breast health
Back injuries TMJ Periodontal disease Sinuses Vascular disease Digestive disorders Nerve damage/neuropathy Sprains and strains Many other conditions Tumors may be detected at the beginning stage of formation when vascular changes show an area is creating a new blood supply, a process known as angiogenesis. DITI can establish risk factors and you can use this information to take steps towards intervention.
Our ACCT Certified technicians can take images of the whole body or just the areas of interest. These images are stored on computer files then sent electronically to a Thermologist (a licensed Medical Doctor and Certified by the American College of Clinical Thermology (or ACCT) for interpretation and reporting. Your report is color printed and normally completed in a just a few days. We encourage you to review and address your results with your healthcare professional(s).

Winter is coming, (or at least colder weather) and that means our skincare routine may need some adjusting. Chillier weather leaves us prone to breakouts, or just plain old dry skin. Sometimes both. Nobody needs to deal with that!
Introducing a new line of skin care products, Nea Naturals Hemp Seed oil-based facial cleansers, mists and serums.
Why Oil?
Oil cleansers bind to the oily residue and dirt in your skin and will extract it while maintaining a ph balance you need for healing and repair.
It may seem counter-intuitive, but cleansing with oil is one of the most effective ways to cut through all the excess sebum, makeup, and buildup without stripping your skin.
Why NEA?
NEA Naturals Hemp Seed facial cleansing oil is an all natural oil cleanser that gently washes your face without the use of harsh chemicals AND the oil cleanser will rinse completely by rinsing your face with warm water.
(no face cloth needed! )
Safe and natural, it can be used in your eye area to remove even the most stubborn makeup. Your skin will feel and look balanced, supple, clean and nourished. NEVER OILY. Your senses will be delighted by the beautiful aroma of Nea's all natural essential oil blend.
A CLOSER LOOK AT NEA NATURALS
Oil will bind to oil and will bind to dirt (it is scientifically proven) and remove these residues from your skin without disturbing the natural pH balance of the skin. Leaving your skin revitalized, refreshed and renewed.
If you're looking to give Nea Naturals a try and renew your skincare routine, be sure to drop by The Health Stop and check it out!

It can be used to relieve eczema and psoriasis.

Aloe Vera has been touted as the 'plant of immortality', helping to reduce a whole gamut of issues, many of them linked to a toxified body. Toxicity can lead to slowed bowels, liver and lung congestion, blood sugar imbalances, skin troubles, allergies, poor digestion and gas, weakened immunity, and general fatigue.
A little sluggishness is a normal side effect of a long winter inside; but it is also something that should be remedied to ensure optimal health going ahead. Detoxing is in order to clear out the gunk, and aloe vera juice is a very potent solution!
The consumption of aloe vera juice can assist with the detoxification of skin, lymph, lungs, liver, kidneys and bowels.
Aloe vera juice helps reduce inflammation in the body, assists digestion, provides allergy relief and boosts immunity.
Aloe vera juice helps balance pH levels and boosts your energy!
Aloe vera juice is great for weight maintenance and loss.
Aloe vera juice even improves your skin health, and helps your body produce more collagen, providing an anti-aging effect!
As you can see, aloe vera juice benefits the body in multiple ways, along with its deep cleansing abilities! If you're feeling a little weighed down from this past winter, try a bottle of aloe vera juice - its surprisingly powerful stuff, for such a soothing little leaf :)
Combine with a whole foods, plant based diet for extra effectiveness.
