Our body often gives us signals when something is not quite right. Are you listening to it?
Discolouration in nails, dark spots or changes in shape can mean vitamin deficiencies. A headache could be due to problems in the neck, muscles, nerves, or vascular system. Just popping a pill to address the symptoms will not solve the root problem.
