With the sun shining and more time on our hands than expected, don’t forget to get your SPF on! It’s easy to think we don’t need SPF when going for short walks, getting the mail or driving. However, small daily sun exposure can cause considerable damage over a lifetime, including wrinkles, dark spots and tougher skin. Multitasking daily moisturizers slip sun protection into your skin-care routine seamlessly, because there’s SPF already in the formula. An ounce of prevention is always worth a pound of cure. Here to help with any of your skin care goals including finding the best SPF for your lifestyle all year long.

By now, many of us have become really great at physical distancing, in our own space, trying to limit our contact with others. Some have appreciated the opportunities to disconnect, while others may have struggled with a lack of support. As we await physical proximity, many people may experience some feelings of anxiousness. This can be a very normal response, as our systems are overwhelmed with uncertainty, even though we want to see friends, family and loved ones. Allow yourself to acknowledge this has been hard. Try to be kind to yourself, and your take time. But most importantly make contact.

What should you do if your mental health is suffering during self-isolation? Here are some tips: 1. Maintain routine. It helps to manage anxiety and will help you to adapt more quickly to this current reality. 2. Engage with Nature. Make the most of any private outdoor space you have. Getting sunshine is imperative for a healthy mind. 3. Try something new. Now is a great time to learn how to sew or tackle a DIY project. 4. Limit your news intake. A near-constant stream of news reports about an outbreak can cause anyone to feel distressed. 5. Stay connected. Download a video chat app and have fun chatting with friends and family.

Spring is often associated with re-birth, renewal and rejuvenation. As the earth rotates to increase daylight to the relevant hemisphere, our brains and bodies also need similar adjustment. Taking time to clean up our mental clutter is important to our sense of balance. Advanced technologies such as Direct Neurofeedback can help support this overall renewal of your mind and body by re-balancing the communication between the left and right parts of our brain. Optimizing our brainwave patterns, can lead to increased energy, elevated mood, improved sleep, and result in overall better productivity as we spring forward into optimal selves.

Essential oils can be great travelling companions. Be sure to keep a bottle of Eucalyptus essential oil in your carry-on. Eucalyptus is known as an immune booster and decongestant; if change of altitudes leads to sinus discomfort, inhale this before the plane takes off and while it lands.

Peppermint essential oil may help to prevent headaches caused by motion sickness or stress. If you know what ailments you are prone to, prepare for the journey beforehand by adding a few drops of the correct essential oil to aromatherapy jewelry, or a personal inhaler.

Ozonotherapy or Prolozone Therapy is the use of medical grade ozone, a highly reactive form of pure oxygen, to create a curative response in the body. The body has the potential to renew and regenerate itself. When it becomes sick it is because this potential has been blocked. The reactive properties of ozone stimulate the body to remove many of these impediments thus allowing the body to do what it does best – heal itself. Ozone speeds healing, detoxification and enhances brain function. It activates the immune system; it stimulates damaged joints and degenerative discs to regenerate and it can dramatically reduce or even eliminate many cases of chronic pain. There are professional medical ozonotherapy societies in over ten countries worldwide. http://www.AAOT.us
