-(Natural News) You have probably relegated light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to the same spot that electric light bulbs used to occupy in your awareness. At the most, there will be a slight footnote that the new device gives off more light and consumes less energy than the old one. But some researchers are arguing that LEDs bring more than […]

-(Natural News) An interesting case study detailed the application of integrated yoga and naturopathy (IYN) in managing metabolic syndrome (MetS) of an obese individual. The patient showed significant improvements in MetS-related parameters after a six-week therapy session involving customized treatment. This outcome suggests that it is not only possible to integrate yoga and naturopathy together, […]
