Stress and Pain Relief Beyond Belief in a Flotation Tank
Imagine reaching the depths of the mind, exploring areas that were once known only to those that practiced meditation daily with the utmost of discipline. Reaching deep states of relaxation known as “theta frequency” is now possible for everyone through the use of the floatation tank. The tank is a 4 ft. x 8 ft. fiberglass capsule that holds 10” of water, at skin temperature, with 1,000 lbs. of medical grade Epsom salt. The solution is 9 times the density of the ocean. The floatation tank is located inside a private room with its own shower and change area. After showering you enter the float tank and instantly float like a cork. Within 3-4 minutes you begin to lose sense of where the water ends and the air above you begins. This causes a sensation that feels like your body is floating into space, the mind quiets and the body to goes into deep relaxation. If you want to learn more about floating and find out what others have experienced visit www.floatspasandiego.com or call 858/279-3301.
Breakthrough Cavity-Fighting Candies Freshen Breath, Clean Teeth
Two exciting new products are predicted to change dentistry forever and improve the lives of those who hate to go to the dentist. The first is a lollipop that kills the bugs that cause almost all cavities. It's a combination of a Chinese licorice root extract—used for more than 3000 years—and the newest bacteria-specific—“smart-bomb” ingredient in a delicious orange-flavored lollipop. Each lollipop has just the right amount of cavity-fighting ingredient and is able to bathe the teeth for a long time because of the lollipop delivery system. One lollipop in the morning and one in the evening for 10 days helps kill all the cavity-forming, Streptococcus mutans, bacteria in the mouth. Use the lollipops between 2-4 times per year—combined with a good dental hygiene program and proper diet—and you can say goodbye to cavities.
The second new product is a long-lasting mint lozenge that gives fresher breath and cleaner teeth any time of the day. The lozenge's patented time-release technology provides a programmed one-hour delivery of powerful essential oils and natural compounds. The ingredients in other mouth rinses, gums and mints are flushed away too quickly, limiting their effectiveness. In addition to fresh breath, the lozenge dissolves plaque, kills the bugs that cause plaque and gingivitis, and maintains a healthy pH balance. The lozenge has a pleasant taste and is sugar and alcohol free. For information on how to buy these breakthrough cavity-fighting candies that freshen breath and clean your teeth call Rev. Dr. Stephen A. Lawrence at 760/729-9050 in Carlsbad.
