Red Light Therapy

Lymphatic Health
There has been a rise for the past 3 years in awareness of how important the lymphatic system of the body really is. This year, there is going to be an increase in spas that will offer treatments and services for the lymphatic health for its customers. They will be using massage techniques to help the system flow and move as it should. If someone is sick or inactive, their system can get backed up, and fluids can build up in the body. The lymphatic system staves off disease, reduces inflammation, and promotes digestion when it is functioning properly. Keep your eyes out for these services.
Self-Care
If the year 2020 has taught us anything, it is that we must take care of ourselves, or we fall apart or get sick. You may picture extravagant bubble baths with candles and the lights off, music playing. However, self-care is much more than finding comfort in silence and privacy. Self-care also includes forming habits that help you, or getting rid of old habits that harm you. Social distancing and closed attractions may have led to a much better understanding of ourselves. It slowed things down, and gave us perspective. Caring for yourself and giving yourself a life you want to live is so important to your health. Dance, sing, laugh, be silly, and smile every time you feel like it.
This year is helping us realize what is important, and what we can be doing differently to help ourselves. Enjoy!
