High Glucose Levels Portland ME

Biofeedback sessions that focused on the patients’ faces and necks, which store the most tension, helped study participants learn to relax muscles and lower anxiety. Their blood sugar levels dropped significantly as they learned to modulate their response to stress. Read more...

Sleep Apnea Portland ME

When the British author Anthony Burgess wrote, “Laugh and the world laughs with you; snore and you sleep alone,” he struck a sympathetic chord with fellow snorers. But sawing logs is more than just a social faux pas if you’re one of the 12 million Americans with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Read more...

Raw Food Diet Portland ME

The Magic of Mushrooms Portland ME

But recently, studies have begun to show that some of the exotic varieties—shiitake, maitake, reishi, oyster, and enoki—can do much more.

Rejuvenating Heat Baths Portland ME

Moist or dry, both types of heat provide many of the same benefits. The skin enjoys increased blood flow (and a healthy glow), your pores get cleared of all the grime that’s settled in, and the sweating provides a deep level of detoxification.
