During infrared-sauna sessions, which last up to an hour, dry infrared heat penetrates the skin and outer tissue to revive circulation and lymphatic flow. Consequently, it can help purge toxins and boost metabolism. Since the treatment imparts some of the same benefits as a brisk jog, the wellness center’s chief physician, Dr. Minarik, recommends it for those who aren’t physically fit enough to run. The dry heat can also ease pain and stiffness, soothe the aches of arthritis, and even assuage eczema and dermatitis.

Elixia Wellness Group

Owner Dr. Ryan Minarik is just one of three naturopathic physicians at Elixia Wellness Group, and one of four licensed acupuncturists. As if that wasn't enough expertise, his staff also includes practitioners of Chinese medicine, a chiropractic doctor and yoga teacher, massage therapists, and even a skin technician. With such healers backing him up, Dr. Minarik tackles maladies of all shapes and sizes using a holistic approach that revolves around the individual. Each treatment takes the patient's history into account, as well as factors such as genetics, before tracking down the root cause of issues instead of just medicating symptoms. Once the practitioners have pinpointed the problem, they can assemble a plan of attack using their multiple fields of expertise.

Although Elixia Wellness Group's treatment philosophy stretches back centuries, it keeps an eye on the ever-changing landscape of healing technology. Recently, Dr. Minarik has begun stimulating postinjury healing with platelet-rich-plasma injections. The contemporary method separates platelets—treasure troves of potential regeneration—from the patient’s own blood before returning them to the circulatory stream at the point where torn tendons or arthritis cause pain.

The Groupon Guide to: Disposing of Batteries

Not everyone is privileged enough to own a machine that mashes batteries into an edible, mostly nontoxic soup. If you're not one of the lucky few who owns that machine, use one of these methods to get rid of your batteries:

  • Roll them down a hill
  • Hit them with a baseball bat—they will go somewhere
  • Don't eat 'em, Don Chead-em (give them to Don Cheadle)
  • Feed them to the ocean
  • Do you know a guy named "Battery Bob"? He'll probably take them off your hands.
  • Make a "battery baby" and give it to a woman whose children are grown
  • Recycle?

How far can you hit a battery with a baseball bat?
