Wellness on Wednesday is all about the natural you!

Feeling emotionally, physically or mentally worn out after a long day? Take the plunge.

One of the best ways to pull toxins out of the body is to go for a dip in the ocean. The salt water helps the body cleanse through the pores of your body.

If you don’t live by the beach, stock up on 3 staple and affordable detox ingredients: Epsom salt, baking soda, sea salt and do a little detoxing at home.

1/3 C Epsom salt

1/3 C Sea Salt

1/3 C Baking Soda

Soak time: 15-20 minutes

3 drops lavendar essential oil (optional, for added relaxation)

Try out this week’s Editorial favorite:

About a year ago one of my yoga teachers introduced me to this little bottle of liquid healing. The ambrosia of all essential oils. Di-Gize is an essential oil blend of tarragon, ginger, peppermint, juniper, fennel, lemongrass, anise, and patchouli, and works by aiding the digestive system. Its made by Young Living, my favorite essential oil company. Anytime I have an upset stomach I simply put a few drops on my hand, rub it on my stomach, and within thirty minutes or less I’m cured. It’s amazing! I like to take it with me when I’m traveling and trying new foods or whenever my stomach is feeling a little off. Here’s a little secret- after you rub it on your stomach, lick your hand to speed up the process. If rubbing and licking isn’t your style, just pour a few drops in a glass of water and enjoy.

In ancient China, astrological observations were performed for practical purposes, such as keeping track of the civil calendar. Any anomalies in the celestial bodies were noted as an imbalance in the world and also as omens, either good or bad, for the current Emperor. The event of greatest concern, as you might imagine, was a solar eclipse.

With so much buzz in China these days and the Olympics starting in just one week, I wonder the ancients would think of today’s eclipse?
