Easing Stage Fright with Homeopathy
Homeopathy seems to be one of the most misunderstood types of alternative medicine. This misunderstanding leads most people to either disregard the medicine or to be profoundly scared of it.

Using Homeopathy to Improve Sleep
According to the CDC, more than a third of us are sleep deprived getting less than the recommended minimum of 7 hours of sleep at night.

Late morning on Saturday, February 11, 2017 is a memory that I will never forget. My step-father had left me a voicemail message. It sounded like he had been crying. Then, the text message came.

6 Health Secrets to Supporting Immunity Naturally
Is a little virus affecting your holiday season? “Sneezes can travel at a speed of 100 miles per hour and the wet spray can radiate five feet.” At least according to the Library of Congress. In an experiment from the guys at MythBusters however, they found that the speed of their sneezes clocked closer to 35-40mph. And the mucus traveled closer to 10-20 feet.

Oh my goodness, Bonnie & Clyde.
