ARNICA IS THE ANSWER


I recently had an injury scare on my left wrist. I thought for sure I had torn something practicing some arm balancing pose. Anyone who knows me knows I do not like going to Doctors. I'd much rather turn to ayurveda for healing. This time I didn't know what to do. It turns out I have a ganglion cyst on my wrist! It happens when synovial fluid leaks out of your joint and creates a sac of fluid outside of the joint. I could actually see it poking out! I was advise to keep it immobile and was given a splint. My boyfriend came over with Arnica gel that night and I was out of pain the next morning! I keep using it at night and still no pain. Amazing! Arnica montana is plant known for its power to calm bruising, inflammation, and soreness. It comes in gels, ointments and also in homeopathic pellets. Arnica is the answer!

CONNECT WITH THE WILD.

Living in the city is great for many reason, but I value the luxury of breathing fresh air. I try to get out into nature as often as possible. One of my favorite weekly activities is hiking in the woods. Looking at the beauty of nature is so liberating and feels healing to my spirit. The natural lighting feels like a massage for my eyes. Everywhere I look there is something to smile about. It seems like no matter what season it is, or what time of day, it is always fun and refreshing. Lola loves being able to run free in the woods. Its amazing watching her excitement as she connects with her wild side.
