Lead-safety Message: Lead – Often found where you least expect it. The LEAD

Lead-safety Message:Our bodies are designed to remove toxicants, such as lead. However, in the presence of stress, our ability to detoxify reduces. A bit like a seesaw, as stress increases, detoxification decreases. And as stress decreases, detoxification increases. Sound Healing triggers the relaxation response, which therefore supports our natural healing abilities by reducing stress. This can also help our bodies reduce toxic load and may be useful in reducing lead levels.
