It’s All in the Water Inspired by a recent experience in Saint Pedro do Sul in Portugal, a source of natural geothermal waters, I investigated the powers of ancient healing waters.

Perhaps you think that the Chinese philosophy of naming each year after an animal has no meaning, you might be right? On the other hand perhaps there is something in it.

Let Food Be Thy Medicine and Medicine Be Thy Food – A Lesson from Hippocrates
