It's hands-off for a while between us. Yet, the healing can go on. Explore meaningful, simple ways to live a sustainable, joyful life, from my favorite joy researcher.  By Ingrid Fetell LeeYears ago I listened to an episode of the podcast On Being where Krista Tippett interviews writer and Buddhist teacher Sylvia Boorstein. This interview has ended up being a touchstone for me, one that I continue to come back to, because of all the generous wisdom that Boorstein shares. But there’s one moment in particular that came to mind as I started to think about how we regain our footing amid the disorientation and upheaval of the current Covid-19 crisis.

 A leading cause and aggravator of chronic health problems is dehydration.
“Low humidity causes static electricity, dry skin and hair, increased susceptibility to colds and respiratory illness, and can allow viruses and germs to thrive. Wood floors, furniture and millwork will split and crack, paint will chip, and electronics can be damaged because of low humidity levels.” Consuming enough water through diet is the typical solution for staying hydrated. Yet, many people are drinking plenty of water and their bodies are still dehydrated. I palpate bodies for a living. Dehydrated bodies are suffering bodies. There is a second, primary source of hydration: The air we breathe. Proper humidity levels can make all the difference. Going from the chart I borrowed from Health Canada, the comfort zone is 30-55% humidity. Do you know what your humidity levels are? Do you know what's stealing the water out of the air you breathe?
 A multi-purpose home remedy ingredient I purposely ignored due to my gut’s life-long inability to tolerate it, has turned out to be a remedy I potentially needed most: Vinegar. Specifically, apple cider vinegar or ACV. It is one of three main ingredients in a recipe I hope you will join me in trying. Alone (yet well diluted,) ACV is already known to be a digestive helper, immune supporter, and weight loss tool, but combined with two other antimicrobial ingredients, it packs a powerful punch for arthritic relief, too - but only if it 'tastes' right to you.
 My goal is to get my clients to a point where they don’t need me except for maintenance, 1-4 times a year. Self-care between appointments is the best way to achieve that. Exercise is not self-care. Exercise is helpful, yet is often responsible for pain and injuries. Self-care is what helps keeps clients healthy between checkups.
