Marma therapy utilizes 107 points or “doorways” into the body and consciousness. The mind is considered as the 108th marma.

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive.

As adults grow older, they have a greater chance of developing certain diet-related diseases, such as hypertension (high blood pressure), heart disease, cancer, and/or osteoporosis. Older adults are more likely to require diet modification to control disease than younger adults, but the diet should still reflect the preferences of the older adult. For the elderly, the diet should fit the person rather than changing the person’s eating behavior. No food should be denied simply because a person is old.
