The smell of clean shampoo and laughter both filled the air as I walked in and met the trio of ladies who have been running the salon for three years. A regular client smiled from under her black smock with color in her hair and said with a…

Read MoreTake back your health: The 2018 Holistic Columbus Expo connects vendors and speakers to people who believe natural and noninvasive practices should be the first approach to health
Hippocrates of Kos, the classical Greek physician and “Father of Medicine,” is often credited with the famous refrain, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food,” but scholars do not know who actually first set down the words in writing. Hippocrates was not a lone figure in the wilderness of early medicine; instead, he was the progenitor of an entire school of medical thinking and practice, an extensive and systematic approach to health…

Read MoreI floated for an hour and I liked it: my surprisingly relaxing and invigorating experience in a sensory deprivation tank
I was nervous. I’m not typically claustrophobic. I get antsy toward the end of trans-Atlantic flights, but otherwise do well in enclosed spaces. A sensory deprivation tank, though, is very different from a crowded airplane. You’re alone, in total darkness.
