In high-stress situations, tension can limit creativity and problem-solving. By letting go of physical tension through conscious relaxation practices, we can shift our minds from stress to a more creative mindset.

In moments of stress, our instinctive reactions can sometimes worsen situations or create unintended outcomes.

The power of heat in enhancing health and wellbeing is evident from both historical use and modern scientific research.

Cold therapy has received a lot of attention over the past few years.
