Unhealthy air quality from the California fires like the recent Norte Fire and Eaton Fire need to be taken seriously. Please mask up with N95 or better. Toxins can inflame the lungs and close air ways. Avoid long term health effects. Detox with the nutrients and somatic techniques to process and eliminate toxins from your body.

Foods

  • Hydrate: Water + added minerals

  • Vitamin C & E: Bell peppers, kiwi

  • Antioxidants: Ginger, turmeric

  • Cruciferous Vegetabes: Bok choy, broccoli

Somatic

  • Deep breathing: Inhale for 4, hold for 7, exhale for 8

  • Pump your lymph nodes and then lymphatic drainage massage 

Please consult with a doctor before practicing new somatic techniques on your body.
