i started practice yoga because of my back pain few years ago.
yoga gave me amazing feeling of being the very part of nature. i quit using medications, eating meat, i walk a lot, etc:
i love organic teas (my favourites - choice or bigelow), twice a week - warm baths filled with sea salts, everyday vitamins (one-a-day for your age), morning contrast shower, herbal patches for local pain treatment, which i still sometimes have (snogg patch)…
my yoga class taught me a lot, but this was the toughest and most appreciated: the greatest healer is you - your body and mind, not your doctor…
thank you for suggesting other tips and ideas,
Gina
