Country:Greece
The ancient Greek Hippocratic
philosophy is a holistic healthcare
model applying standards and ethics
still valid today. Influenced by physician
Hippocrates, it consists of three
categories: physical activity as a vital
part of physical and mental health;
surgical practices developed due to
frequent wars at the time; and
music and drama for illness
and improvement
of human behaviour.*

beautiful co  ee-table book, The Joy Of
Living With Less by decluttering expert Mary
Lambert is a book that inspires space and
minimalism in its pages. Lambert’s premise
is clear; by starting with personal pieces,
moving easily through small groups of
possessions, her goal is to help us ‘downsize
to 100 items and liberate our lives’. @aliro 

Sustainable silk
Did you know silk production is a ‘carbon
sink’ – mulberry trees, the food source
of silkworms, absorb more carbon than
they release. Combine this with ditching
disposable face wipes and replacing
them with silk cloths, known for their
anti-ageing properties, and bask in the
feel-good glory of eco warriordom!

You might have read that
pets improve our health by
reducing stress and helping
us to be more active, but a
study also found that pet
owners actually have higher
self-esteem.** It’s thought
that our furry friends
provide social support,
especially when combined
with human support. Try
joining or starting a local
dog-walking club, or have a
life-coaching session while
walking with your pooch.
