Home Therapies

If you've ever been curious about the elusive Neti Pot, now is an excellent time to try this wonderful cleansing method.  Just prepare a simple solution of warm saline and gently tip the Neti Pot into your nose.  Water flows freely out of your other nostril taking with it dirt, dust, pollen, and other impurities out of the body.  The "Breathe Easier" brand of Neti Pot is available in our store for $19.

Great essential oils for this time of year are Tea Tree, Lavender, and Blue Eucalyptus.  With it's anit-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal qualities, Tea Tree is an excellent stimulant for the immune system.  Lavender is a calming sedative that acts as both a decongestant and an analgesic for headaches.   Blue Eucalyptus is a powerful germicide, antiseptic, antibiotic, diuretic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and deodorizer.  All can be used to soothe fall congestion and calm colds.  Try adding 3-6 drops of essential oil to a very hot bath or steam inhalation.  The heat will promote a cleansing sweat to aid the benefits of the essential oil.  Or try adding 5 drops to your mop water to spread the benefits throughout the household.   All are available at the Bodhi store for $10-$20.

Or for a really powerful scent, we carry "Clear My Head" line of herbal inhalation products.  Essential oils of Jojoba, Rosemary, Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Lavender, Tea, and Red Thyme are combined into potpourris and oils to provide a powerful inhalant to fight congestion and headaches.  Products range from $8-$18.

Yoga Practice

Autumn is a time of introspection. Moving deeply inwards and soothing our emotional bodies as we step into the colder weather and darker days. A good way to nurture ourselves in this time of change is to practice slow, long forward bends.  Moving into the body and towards your inner self nutures our instincts to cozy-in and hibernate.
