You’re a sportsman.

You tromp through the woods to get to the mountain lakes and then along the primitive shores to find the right spot. Or wade out in thigh-high, cool stream water with your fly rod. Or balance in the bow of the boat so you can cast for bass just so.

You’re doing some Spokane area fishing, and there is nothing like it. With dozens of lakes and streams within a few hours’ drive, Spokane’s got just what you’re looking for.

Being in shape to fish is important.

 But, if you aren’t in shape, you’ll feel it big time tomorrow. Or worse, you could slip, fall, or over-exert and get in some real trouble. Getting in shape—

·         increases your stamina and strength,

·         improves your balance,

·         adapts your body to exertion in the heat by improving temperature regulation,

·         decreases soreness and stiffness after an outing, and

·         helps prevent injuries from the outdoor activities, like Spokane fishing, that you so enjoy.

Getting out and walking at places such as Silverwood Theme Park offers so many health benefits and almost anyone can do it. By walking just 3 to 4 hours per week, which…

It seems that almost everyone uses aromatherapy candles, essential oils, lotions, potpourri, incense, and just about anything else you can think of to put a scent into the air to “help” their health. And you can find aromatherapy shops in Spokane just about anywhere. But does aromatherapy really help?

What exactly is aromatherapy?

Supposedly Spokane aromatherapy uses different methods to use your body’s sense of smell to change moods, reduce stress and encourage better health. You can get essential oils, candles, lotions, and several other products that can be used as aromatherapy vehicles. Different scents are used to obtain different results, such as lavender and chamomile to help you relax, lemon and rosemary to revitalize your body, and peppermint and eucalyptus to stimulate your body.

The human sense of smell is very powerful, being able to distinguish over 10,000 different scents. We have about five million olfactory receptors. (You may find it interesting that even though humans can smell so much, dogs can smell even more! Dogs have over 220 million olfactory receptors,…
