The Benefits of Raw Honey
Honey is much more than just a sweetener. It has been used for centuries for healing and rejuvenation. Most of the honey sold in stores has been heated and pasteurized. This processing destroys many of the enzymes and beneficial compounds that make raw honey so nutritious. Regular honey often looks clear and syrupy.

Healthy Memorial Day BBQ
Memorial Day Weekend is upon us which means the beginning of sunshine, good times and delicious barbecue! But barbecue season doesn’t have to mean juicy meats dripping with sweet, gooey sauce.

Flip Flops and Your Health
A lot of us love wearing our flip flops year round, especially when it’s a sweltering 90 degrees outside. Let’s be honest, we really don’t want to be putting on boots or tennis shoes in ninety degree weather.

This supernatural flow of energy is similar to chi in oriental medicine and other vitalistic principles. When chiropractic is concerned, this fl
