Wellness Chiropractors believe health comes from guidance in proper nutrition, routine exercise and maintaining a healthy nervous system.

People choose higher quality foods to stay healthy, but don’t realize your skin lotions also have chemicals that are toxic to your body and health.

Through your skin, lotions absorb directly into your blood stream to effect your health.  A common ingredient in commercial lotions is parabens.  This preservative mimic estrogen effecting hormone production.  Another is mineral oil that coats your skin and accelerates aging (Mercola, Skin Care).

The medicinal benefits of coconut oil are anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant, etc (Livestrong).  It is a fact that children experiencing sickness recover quickly by rubbing coconut oil on their body.  Using a simple, natural coconut body butter or lotion, gives you this same health benefit expressed in healthy skin.

To keep it very simple, use organic, unrefined coconut oil (see previous articles on quality) if a lotion is unavailable.  Olive and other plant oils can also have the same benefit.  By leaving it on long enough to absorb in your skin, your beauty and health will be achieved.

Realize using healthy lotions is only secondary to staying healthy.  You want to stay healthy from the inside out.  Eating and hydrating will give body the resources for repair and growth.  Exercise will also remove toxins by perspiration.  Your nervous system functions to keep your immune system and organs at its peak potential.  It is a Whole Body approach that maintains a great state of health.

Euclid Chiropractic Clinic is your Whole Body health center.

We believe restoring HEALTH is accessible by proper nutrition, routine exercise and maintaining a healthy nervous system.

Enjoy better health from the inside out.
