Trying It Out For You: My Acupuncture Review

Health Videos, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

It’s been a while since I’ve done a video for you in my “trying it out for you” series, so today is the day! Just before the pandemic rocked our world, my friend Stacey and I decided to give Acupuncture a test run. I hope this video and medical literature review helps someone who has considered acupuncture (and is on the fence about going) decide whether this holistic healing modality might be right for them! In this quick 6 min video, I take you (ever so briefly because I couldn’t really do much filming with all the …

Trying It Out For You: Compression Therapy

Health Videos, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

Therapeutic compression treatments have been around forever to help treat cardiovascular issues and lymphatic issues in the body… …but until now I have only seen them used in hospital settings. There is a new trend that offers compression therapy in a spa setting, where you can sit for a 30 or 60 minute period of time, wearing a garment that inflates (similar to a large blood pressure cuff) on and off, forcing blood and lymphatic fluids up the limbs. It’s called intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) and it’s something I’m familiar with because we put these exact same …

Grounding, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

Today I want to share with you a super informal video I made for you. It’s perfect for anyone who is sick of hearing: “just go barefoot!“ Well what if you don’t want to go barefoot? What if the ground outside your home is littered, hazardous, sprayed with chemicals and pesticides, full of fire ant mounds or rocks or broken glass? What if you have mobility issues, what if you can’t stand or walk, what if you are recovering from a major illness and the thought of going barefoot is so overwhelming you’d rather not ground at all?

Trying It Out For You: A Salt Cave (aka Halotherapy)

Health Videos, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

Halotherapy is simply the inhalation of aerosolized dry salts… …which is quickly becoming a very popular new therapy added to many spas. These salt therapy lounges can be very beautiful, with gorgeous Himalayan salt wall features and flowing loose salt over the floors to give the appearance of a salt cave, while plain old sodium chloride crystals (table salt, basically) are aerosolized into the room’s air for inhalation. These spas claim that halotherapy can improve respiratory allergies, fix chronic dermatologic skin issues like atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, and even decrease the frequency of upper respiratory infections. But …

The Healing Power Of Grounded Touch

Grounding / By Laura Koniver, MD

I recently received an awesome question from a reader. It was: “If a very sick person is lacking in the earth’s electrons, can they unknowingly ‘steal’ those electrons from another person by touching them?” The short answer to this is: yes. When you were a kid, did you ever walk around in your socks, rubbing them on a carpet repeatedly so you could sneak up to your sibling and shock them? (Or was that just me, LOL?). If you’ve ever shocked someone when touching them, you know this on a large scale — with a large quantity …

New Healing Ideas: Float Therapy & A DIY Version To Try Today

Health Videos, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

If you visit my website, you’ll see that my motto is “Enjoy Healing.” After all, the truth is that life is hard enough, and health issues are scary enough, without physicians piling on layers of fear and negativity to the healing process. Even well-meaninged doctors can destroy a patient’s hope with one single casual negative statement or statistic.

So, if lately your health care routines leave you feeling …
