Change of Scenery: Destinations to Help Your Health

Since ancient times, the healing powers of the earth, water, and air have been known to humans. In the modern world, some people need to escape urban, or suburban life and explore some remote destinations that actually have soothing and healing properties.

 

Hot Springs

The United States is home to plenty of natural hot springs in various terrains such as deserts, forests, and mountains. The southwest region is home to numerous hot springs in Arizona. The Grand Canyon national park area has multiple hot springs that are hidden within deep caves, or narrow valleys. Humans try to duplicate the effects of hot springs by having whirlpool tubs and Jacuzzis at home, but nothing beats the natural powers of superheated water gushing down on your body. Some hot springs have steam that is comparable to the effects in dry and wet saunas.

 

Salt Baths

The healing powers of natural salt minerals have been used since ancient times. Dissolved and solid salts in water consist of much more than just sodium. There are other naturally occurring minerals that are found within salty lakes and bodies of water throughout the world. In the United States, the Great Salt Lake in Utah offers some of the best salt baths for treating the skin, and other body parts. Salty water can gently scrape off dead skin cells, and provide healing properties to any common skin conditions such as acne and psoriasis.

 

Mud Baths

The healing properties of mud can be very powerful in rejuvenating and treating skin. There are several worldwide destinations that offer all natural mud baths for tourists. For example, Turkey boasts multiple locations along the Black Sea, and Mediterranean Sea that allow guests to fully cover themselves in dark mud, and reap the benefits of the rich minerals. The Dead Sea in Israel is also home to its black natural mud that attracts plenty of tourists seeking some natural healing, and rejuvenation for the skin. Man made mud baths are now becoming popular body and facial treatments at spas worldwide.

 

Sometimes, people just need a little bit of clean air and a nice environment to enjoy the healing powers of nature. Real estate experts in mild areas like Fairbanks Ranch, California, or Tuscon, Arizona can show clients listings of resort style homes that are surrounded by clean desert air, and wonderful amenities such as championship golf courses, swimming pools, fitness centers and other features designed to improve one’s health level. Take advantage of the natural healing powers of the earth today.

How to Maximise Your Mineral Intake in Seven Easy Steps

Minerals are essential for your well-being; they help keep your muscles firing, your mind focused and your body hydrated, as well as playing a role in just about every function of your body. So how do you go about ensuring that you’re maximising your mineral wellness?

 

1. Sea vegetables – The ocean is one of the most mineral rich environments in the world, and sea vegetables benefit from having access to this incredible nutrition. However, if the thought of seaweeds like dulse, kelp, nori and irish moss isn’t too appetising, try mixing them into smoothies, as a thickener, or dehydrated and sprinkled onto salads.

 

2. Green juice – Per calorie, greens are some of the best foods to prevent mineral deficiency, and turning them into a juice can be the perfect daily addition to your healthy, balanced diet. Blend up three stalks of celery with a cucumber, four leaves of kale or lettuce, a lemon, a big handful of parsley and an inch of ginger.

 

3. Coconut water – Your muscles need sodium and potassium in order to work, and coconut water has both of these electrolytes in spades. As these minerals help to ensure that your electrical pulses make your muscles fire, your muscles could cease up or cramp without them.

 

4. Hydrochloric acid supplements (HCL) – HCL is a big part of the process in which your body separates minerals from plant and animal foods, as well as denaturing proteins so they can be digested. However, deficiencies in HCL (which often occurs with age) often lead to mineral deficiencies so taking an HCL supplement short term or long term – if appropriate – may help.

 

5. Liquid mineral supplements – This type of supplement contains a broad spectrum of trace minerals that your body can easily absorb.

 

6. Ocean Grown Solution – If you grow food at home, Ocean Grown Solution can increase the mineral production in the produce. The product is basically concentrated sea water, and it will help add a wider mineral spectrum to your plantings, sprouts and wheat grass.

 

7. Mineral hot springs – You can absorb minerals through your skin, so why not take a break, head off to a hot spring and relax? Hot springs open your pores up for easier mineral absorption.
