It seems like saunas are all the rage now, but are there any proven benefits?

Regular sauna use has been linked to a range of health benefits, both physical and mental.

A study published in the International Journal of Circumpolar Health found that people who took saunas regularly reported lower blood pressure, less pain, improved sleep, greater happiness and energy, and better overall wellbeing. https://bit.ly/4oZKIKz

Are you already a sauna lover, or could this be your next wellbeing ritual?

When life feels out of balance, the body feels it too. Stress, fatigue and discomfort can become part of our every day, until balance is restored.

At Ananda Clinics, we support your body to return to a state where healing can occur. Because when the body is in balance, everything else begins to align.

Make an appointment with one of our experienced Doctors to learn more.

Ananda Clinics is joining forces with Releaf Clinics and Dispensaries to bring you our combined expertise, experience and commitment to patient care. What this means for our valued patients is more doctors, more face-to-face and telehealth consultations, and faster, easier access to your medication.

A few things may change over time, but one thing that will not is our dedication to providing you with safe, professional and compassionate care. You will continue to be supported by the same familiar names and faces.

We’re also excited to share that a brand-new Releaf Clinic & Dispensary will be opening in Byron Bay, NSW later this year.

We’ll keep you updated with any changes but for now, continue to book as normal on our website or call the clinic on 02 5624 5024.

If you have questions about this post we kindly ask that you direct them to enquiries@releafclinics.com.au as calling reception may impact our ability to manage treatment and appointment-related calls.

A little flashback to December when our talented nurse Holly featured on an episode of The Bloomly Podcast with Tegan Scates. They discussed what to look for in a clinic and what separates clinics with high quality care from the rest.

This is a good one for anyone considering Natural Therapies. Have a listen and give us a call to chat with one of our friendly, knowledgeable nurses (yes, Nurse Holly is one of them!) about next steps, free of charge. Call 02 5642 5024 or set up a time with the team here https://anandaclinics.com.au/questions-were-here-to-help/.

Music to our ears 🎶🤗

A new driving law has taken effect in Victoria.

The amendment gives magistrates the power to use their discretion when sentencing people who have tested positive to plant medicine in a random roadside test if they were unimpaired at the time and hold a valid prescription.

Commenting on the 1 March law change, Penington Institute CEO John Ryan said:

“Nobody should drive while they are impaired by any substance, including prescribed drugs such as medicinal cannabis.

But patients who are not impaired and are using medicinal cannabis as directed by their doctor pose little if any safety risk and should be treated accordingly.

The new rule is a sensible policy and a win for fairness.

Medicinal cannabis patients should not be forced to choose between their medicine and their mobility."

Stretching isn’t just for athletes—it’s for everyone!

Regular stretching helps improve flexibility, reduce muscle tension, and increase blood flow. It can also boost posture, enhance relaxation, and prevent injury.

When stretching, consistency is key to reap the benefits. Take a few minutes each day to stretch- your body will thank you! 🧘‍♂️

New research from the University of South Australia shows that adopting a healthy diet can reduce the severity of chronic pain.

Researchers found that a greater consumption of foods within the Australian Dietary Guidelines was directly associated with lower levels of body pain, particularly among women.

Importantly, these findings were independent of a person’s weight, meaning that despite your body composition, a healthy diet can help reduce chronic pain.

Is it stress or anxiety, and what’s the difference?

Both stress and anxiety are emotional responses. Stress is typically caused by an external pressure or demand. The stressor can be long or short term but it usually goes away once the situation is resolved.

Anxiety, on the other hand, is a persistent feeling of worry or fear, that doesn’t go away even when there is no clear threat or stressor.

Anxiety and stress can lead to the same symptoms: insomnia, difficulty concentrating, fatigue, muscle tension, and irritability.

Both stress and mild anxiety can respond well to lifestyle changes such as improving sleep hygiene, physical activity, a nutritious diet and relaxation techniques.

If your stress or anxiety doesn’t respond to these lifestyle changes or is impacting your quality of life, you may want to consider talking to a doctor and explore your treatment options.
