Health Tips

We promote regular parasite cleanses, toxins and metals detoxes and daily de-stressing techniques.

Once the body is cleaned out of a "garbage" it accumulated we advocate for supporting it with light and natural remedies to infuse our bodies with nature's goodness, as long as improving energy flow through breathing and movement.

Parasites Cleanse

Some herbs and foods are traditionally used in folk medicine and herbal practices to support digestion and gut health during a “parasite cleanse.” Scientific evidence is mixed, and natural remedies are not guaranteed to eliminate actual parasitic infections — especially serious ones. If you have symptoms like unexplained weight loss, persistent diarrhea, anemia, fever, severe bloating, or you believe you were exposed to contaminated water/food, it’s important to get tested by a medical professional because some parasites require prescription treatment (Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, Fenbendazole or other).

Commonly used natural approaches include:

• Garlic — traditionally valued for sulfur compounds like allicin.

• Clove — often paired with other herbs; contains eugenol.

• Pumpkin seed — traditionally used in many cultures.

• Papaya seed — sometimes blended into smoothies in folk practices.

• Ginger — may support digestion and reduce nausea.

• Turmeric — often used for inflammation and gut support.

• Oregano oil — commonly used in herbal antimicrobial protocols.

• Black walnut — a traditional herb sometimes included in cleanse formulas.

• Wormwood — historically used in herbal medicine, but should be used cautiously.

Supportive habits often recommended alongside herbs:

• Staying hydrated

• Eating fiber-rich foods

• Limiting excess sugar and ultra-processed foods

• Getting adequate sleep

• Supporting regular bowel movements

A common folk combination people talk about is:

• garlic + pumpkin seeds

• clove + black walnut + wormwood

• papaya seeds with honey

• oregano oil short-term

Important cautions:

• Essential oils (especially oregano oil) can irritate the stomach if overused.

• Wormwood and black walnut are not appropriate for everyone and can interact with medications or cause side effects.

• “Parasite cleanse” supplements can sometimes be harsh on the liver or digestive tract.

• Not all digestive symptoms are caused by parasites — stress, IBS, food sensitivities, infections, or other conditions are more common.

De-stress with intentional breathing

Intentional breathing works by slowing the nervous system, lowering stress signals, and helping the body shift from “fight-or-flight” into a calmer state. Even a few minutes can help reduce tension, racing thoughts, and physical stress.

Here are some simple techniques:

1. Slow Deep Belly Breathing

Place one hand on your chest and one on your belly.

• Inhale slowly through your nose for 4 counts

• Let your belly expand

• Exhale slowly for 6 counts

• Repeat for 3–10 minutes

Longer exhales tend to calm the nervous system.

2. Box Breathing

Often used for stress regulation and focus.

• Inhale for 4

• Hold for 4

• Exhale for 4

• Hold for 4

Repeat several rounds.

Visualizing a square while breathing can help concentration.

3. 4–6 Relaxation Breath

Very simple and effective before sleep or during anxiety.

• Inhale through the nose for 4

• Exhale slowly through the mouth for 6

The slower exhale signals safety to the body.

4. Alternate Nostril Breathing

A traditional calming practice.

• Close right nostril and inhale through left

• Close left nostril and exhale through right

• Inhale through right

• Close right and exhale through left

Continue gently for a few minutes.

5. Breath + Intention

Pair breathing with calming thoughts.

For example:

• Inhale: “I welcome peace.”

• Exhale: “I release tension.”

Or:

• Inhale calm

• Exhale stress

This can help the mind and body work together.

Helpful tips:

• Breathe gently, not forcefully

• Relax your jaw and shoulders

• Try 5 minutes in the morning and before sleep

• Fresh air, sunlight, or quiet music can enhance relaxation

Improve your body's flow of energy with Qi Gong

Qigong focuses on breath, posture, movement, and awareness to help cultivate and circulate energy (“qi”) through the body. In traditional practice, smooth energy flow is associated with relaxation, balanced breathing, grounding, and gentle movement rather than force.

Here are foundational ways to improve energy flow through Qigong:

1. Relax the Body First

Tension is believed to block energy flow.

Before practice:

• Relax the jaw, shoulders, stomach, and hips

• Slightly bend the knees

• Keep the spine long but not stiff

• Let the breath become natural

The goal is “relaxed alertness.”

2. Practice Deep Natural Breathing

Breath is central in Qigong.

Try:

• Inhale slowly through the nose

• Let the lower belly expand

• Exhale gently and completely

This is often called abdominal or “dan tian” breathing.

Many traditions focus awareness on the lower abdomen (below the navel), considered an important energy center.

3. Move Slowly and Continuously

Gentle flowing movement helps coordination between breath and body.

Helpful beginner movements include:

• Raising and lowering the arms with breath

• Gentle spinal rotations

• Slow arm circles

• Weight shifting from foot to foot

Move slowly enough that you can feel the motion internally.

4. Practice Standing Meditation

Standing still is a major Qigong practice.

A simple posture:

• Feet shoulder-width apart

• Knees soft

• Arms rounded gently in front of chest

• Tongue resting lightly on roof of mouth

• Breathe naturally

Start with 3–5 minutes and gradually increase.

This practice is believed to build internal energy and grounding.

5. Focus the Mind Calmly

In Qigong, intention and attention guide energy.

Try placing awareness on:

• The breath

• The palms

• The lower belly

• Sensations of warmth, tingling, or heaviness

Do not force sensations — simply observe.

6. Spend Time in Nature

Traditional practices often emphasize:

• Morning sunlight

• Fresh air

• Barefoot grounding on natural surfaces

• Practicing near trees or water

Many practitioners feel this enhances calmness and vitality.

7. Consistency Matters More Than Intensity

10–20 minutes daily is often considered more beneficial than occasional long sessions.

Morning practice is commonly recommended because energy is thought to feel freshest and most balanced then.

Some people report sensations such as:

• warmth,

• tingling,

• magnetic feeling in hands,

• calmness,

• emotional release,

• improved sleep,

• or increased vitality.

These experiences vary from person to person.

For beginners, gentle styles are usually best, such as:

• Eight Brocades (Ba Duan Jin)

• Shibashi Qigong

• Standing meditation (Zhan Zhuang)

Improve health of your body with Phototherapy

WHAT IS PHOTOTHERAPY?

Understanding the Science

The science of phototherapy, which has been around for about 100 years, uses light to improve the health of the body. As far back as two thousand years ago, the ancient Greeks had a center for studying the effects of different colored lights on the body. Even the ancient Egyptians, who promoted health by focusing sunlight through colored glass on certain areas of the body, understood this concept.

Our non-transdermal patches fit simply into your daily lifestyle.

How do our Phototherapy Patches Work?

Your body emits heat, including heat in the infrared spectrum. Our patches are designed to trap this infrared energy when placed on the body, which causes them to reflect it back to stimulate specific points on the skin that can promote a general state of health and healthy activity unique to each LifeWave patch.
