Edison was wrong, sleep is NOT a waste of time. We know better today. The body and specially the mind is highly active during sleep. Besides the detoxing and healing of the cells, it connects to the subconscious you, it processes information, and it’s doing much more than we know of today. Jim Butcher said; “Sleep is God. Go worship!”
Here are a few tips on how to get a good sleep routine. Try to go to bed with good thoughts. Therefore I don’t recommend watching or reading scary thriller films, books, or bloody and depressing news just before bedtime. I actually don’t recommend it at any hour of the day, but especially not before sleep. It affects us more than we believe. Studies show that we are more stressed for a long time after exposure.
If you have trouble sleeping ask us for sleeping routines but first try this:
- Listen to your body (be healthy during the day too) and go to bed when you get tired after sunset;
- Don’t use alcohol or pills if you want to detox and rejuvenate your cells – it won’t happen!
- Make sure your room is aired out with cool, fresh air. Keep the bedroom dark and cool;
- Avoid eating 2 hours before bedtime and coffee after noon;
- No light for at least 30 minutes before sleep directly to your eyes – no laptops or TV in bed and don’t turn the strongest light on in the bathroom;
- Lay on your back and make sure your spine and neck are straight. If you need to help your body for a comfortable posture use a pillow just above your knees, and in-between your legs when you lay on the side (specially comfortable for women with large hips;
- Close your eyes and breathe in deeply, feeling how your chest rises, and hold the air in before relaxing and letting it out. Repeat three times and just relax like if you were to meditate;
- Let thoughts come, don’t get annoyed, just be with yourself and accept whatever comes to you.

Naturopaths who deeply believe Natural Immunity is still the best, and therefore we work in defense of it.
Since 20+ years we have successfully been consultants in the natural health sector to support individuals and we are in particular working with entrepreneurs and professionals. Our mission is to defend natural health, the only one that really works so far. We mainly but not entirely use Eastern philosophy such as Ayurveda, TCM, Yoga, Thai chi, Falun Gong, and only honest modern science.
Everyone can heal naturally, it's what bodies and (free) minds want. Our O• Method is based on physics, chemistry and biology with emphasis on the first one as the rest often follow naturally. We divide our work in three parts: Body-Mind-Soul. To allow them all to detox and let go we work with energy (Prana, Xi, Vitality, Spirit, Pneuma or whatever you call the life force, it's the same force mentioned in ancient texts) to heal on all levels, i.e. from chronic disease, toxicity, depression and traumas using our own method, reaching 96% success rate which is unheard of by others in our sector. Would you know of anyone with that result, let us know.
Considering that we invented and dumped >120.000 (petro)chemically derived substances since 1945, of which many are very toxic, getting healthy will most likely include a good old body detox sooner or later.
My love for Ayurveda started in 1993 with Deepak Chopra and after a few turns in life I quit my job as a Nordic Brand Manager and BI strategist at the largest Nordic telecom operator and re-schooled in natural medicine. Besides Dr. Chopra I have studied Dr. Lad, Dr. Siva (Pune, India) and other prominent teachers in their field, but the real difference comes with a practiced. I added nutrition, Orthomolecular Medicine with Dr. Nielsen (USA/Spain) and herbalism.
Today we teach those whom want to continue our work and we love to dig down in etymology and the original (mainly Avestan, Pali and Sanskrit) scripts to understand the words fully and I fall in love with the concepts over and over again for every sutra. This love affair that created a few books (Amazon), presentations, essayes and many events and consultations, is still giving us Yang-Yin balance and inspiration. I guess with that we are recognizing the value of Dao De Ching 💚🌿💜
