Ep. 189 of The MultiDimensional MD - Supporting Detoxification While You Sleep
Manage episode 462620913 series 3641287
I love this phrase: "Do More with Less."
Inventor Buckminster Fuller was a huge proponent of "Do More with Less."
This is an overarching theme in holistic health to take a proactive approach to what resources we have. Our body's naturally tend towards balance. If you get a scratch, it tends to heal. By understanding the health within, we can enhance our natural healing abilities, and in essence, do more with less.
That got me thinking of how much occurs while we sleep. Our brains need to detoxify regularly. They are working hard and require ongoing maintenance. A lot of that occurs during sleep.
So, how can we enhance our natural detoxification processes that occur during sleep?
In today's podcast, I'm going to go over
- a brief review of the brain's glymphatic system
- perspectives from TCM and Ayurveda
- remedies to support sleep detox
- topicals and appliances
- a healing poem I wrote to read at bedtime
Lots of love,
Dr. Arlene Dijamco
