I booked two treatments, at FineLiving New York Ayurveda in New York City, (earning me 180 SpaFinder Rewards Points just for booking online!). The first treatment was a type of Ayurvedic massage called Abhayanga (ah-bh-yan-ga) and a traditional (but oh-so-strange-to-me) treatment called Shirodhara (shear-a-dara), an herbal hair and scalp treatment where a warm stream of oil is poured gently on the forehead, to create a state of meditation.

TV news legend and founder of Camp Reveille is the inspiration for our healthy side-dish expose. Straight from Joan Lunden’s Healthy Cooking, we’re offering up four side-dishes for Thanksgiving that are sure to add some healthy but delicious flavor to your family’s feast.
