Finding a way that you can heal yourself is difficult – especially if you are skeptical from the beginning.  One of the oldest forms of healing comes in the form of colors!  Healing colors are very different and what you might not have realized is that each and every color in the rainbow actually has their very own healing properties attached onto it.  In this blog we are going to explore some of the colors that have healing nature and how you can use them.  Firstly – you need to understand that the colors actually respond to your chakra’s, so if those are not balanced, the colors will help you balance them.

The color red actually represents all of the lower part of your body – legs, hips and spine.  Red will actually increase your physical energy, so remember that.  It will also give you a lot of will power so you will be able to resist a lot of thing.  Red can also assist with a cold and can help your congestion.  Now, onto blue!  Blue actually represents your throat and lungs and if you have any problems in those areas, the color blue will sooth it.

Indigo is another color that is very healing.  It will cleanse your body and your immune system will get a boost as well as it being good for your lymph system.

Falling asleep is something that is very difficult for a lot of people – did you know that sleep deprivation from not getting enough sleep can have devastating effects on not only your life, but other people’s?  If you are driving while you are sleep deprived, you could crash!  That is why when you are sleeping, it is very important that you not be disturbed, otherwise you are not getting the full rest that you may need. 

Sleep can be disturbed by many different things – a dog, cat, animal, noisy street, neighbors or even your parent.  While sleeping pills work, they are not the answer all of the time for you could get addicted to them.  The alternative therapy is going with white noise!  White noise is something that can be very soothing and it actually works for drowning out all of the outside noise that might wake you up!

Sound machines are fantastic for giving you white noise and if you have a baby that is crying a lot at night … put a sound machine in there and you will see a huge difference!

Finding the right cooking oil for you in order to keep you healthy is something that can be difficult – back in the day, oil used to be something that was good for you, however companies began to oil hydrogenate oils that we make here in the US instead of importing any oils – that has not only made the oils fattier, but they are just not good for you in the long run.  However, there has been more research regarding coconut oil. 

Research has shown that there is that in coconut oil, there is actually a very unique and different form of saturated fat that is called a medium chain of fatty acids.  These are very different than the long chain of fatty acids that are in regular vegetable oil and the fatty acids that are in more American diets right now.

Coconut oil is a fantastic option if you are looking for a way to cut out some of the oil in your diet for it is healthy for you and is all around a better product.

If there is one thing that I know about gout, it is something very uncomfortable and something that a lot of people have to deal with on a daily basis.  However, did you know that there is a way that you can get rid of gout or treat it naturally?

Cherries are a natural treatment for gout and it has actually been proven to work by many different studies and universities.  For example, the University of California Davis showed that if you consume cherries daily, you can lower your blood uric acid levels.

Uric acid, as you know is one of the main culprits in the attacks of gout.  So when the uric acid levels build up in the bloodstream, the uric acid crystallizes and often settles in the joints, which of course can cause extreme joint pain and a lot of inflammations.  So if you do have gout, just start eating some cherries and you should be okay!

Acupuncture is something that has been around for quite a while.  It was first founded in China and since it has been exposed to the general public, it has exploded onto the market and to be honest, it can help so many different things and is truly something that everyone should try at sometime in their life.  What the Chinese believed when they came up with Acupuncture is that your body is flowing with all sorts of different energy referred to as ‘qi’.  This energy moves through your body and follows certain pathways.

Acupuncture is one of the only forms that have been proven to improve blood circulation and it can honestly help your overall health.  Now, you are probably asking how this can help your face and the benefits of Acupuncture starts with livening your face up and giving you a shinier and younger look already.  If you have puffiness around your eyes, Acupuncture can absolutely assist you with that.

Acupuncture is something that is very important for everyone in the world and should be done at least once in your lifetime!
