There is no greater gift than health. It is the gift that keeps on giving. So, what better type of present to give than a present that supports optimal health? The Innovative Medicine Team has put together nine holiday gift ideas to help your friends and family make 2022 a healthy and happy year. 

9 Healthy Holiday Gift Ideas 

There is an art to gift-giving. A great gift is:

• Thoughtful
• Unique to the receiver’s interests or needs
• Something the receiver might not think to buy themselves 
• Made to last
• Has a use (i.e., improves health, inspires wellness, brings joy, promotes relaxation, etc.)
• Created by a reputable and responsible company 

To help you become a master gift-giver, here are some of our favorite healthy gift ideas, as well as some tips for staying salubrious this holiday season. 

YouMatrix

We are exposed to EMFs (electromagnetic fields) on a daily and often continuous basis. They are emitted from our smartphones, tablets, laptops, televisions, Bluetooth devices, appliances, and Wi-Fi routers, among other sources, both natural and human-made. Unfortunately, regular EMF exposure can lead to a broad spectrum of symptoms, including fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, cognitive disorders, insomnia, headaches, and even infertility. 

Fortunately, YouMatrix has created a unique technology that converts harmful artificial EMFs into biocompatible frequencies. They make “stickers” for shoes, water, cellphones, tablets, and laptops. This is the perfect healthy holiday gift for all your tech-loving friends and family. 

Therasage

Therasage is a wellness company with an impressive line of cutting-edge infrared healing products. From heating pads to portable saunas, the combination of infrared heat and natural earth elements like jade work to generate negative ions and provide grounding therapy. Aside from their revolutionized personal healing products, Therasage also makes EMF protection devices and water purifications systems. If you want to give the gift of healing, immune enhancement, and better sleep, Therasage can wrap that up and put a bow on it for you. 

Somavedic

Somavedic is a device that works to mitigate the effects of EMFs, geopathic stress, and oxidative stress in your personal space. It also can structure water. There are several different models, sizes, and price points. This is the ultimate multi-purpose healthy gift idea that will not only protect your loved ones from EMFs but also inspire a greater sense of calm, harmony, and balance. The power is in the controlled release of energy from precious and semi-precious stones. 

Aside from the immense benefits, each Somavedic is hand-blown at a world-renowned Czech glass factory. It is as much art as it is a health product. 

Phyto5

Phyto5 is a Swiss holistic energetic skincare company. Combining quantum physics, ancient Chinese medicine, and Swiss medical innovation, Phyto5 developed the world’s first energetic anti-aging and beauty collection. They created five signature lines that correlate with the seasons and the emotional and physical self. Each line includes serums, masks, lotions, cleansers, toners, and exfoliators. 

For winter, Phyto5 created the Water Line and uses juniper, eucalyptus, buckwheat, vitamin E, grape seed, avocado, and jojoba oil. An amazing gift set, especially if you aren’t sure which line is best suited for the person you have in mind, is the 5 Emotional Serums set. 

Chaga

Referred to as “the king of medicinal mushrooms,” Chaga is a birch tree-loving mushroom that has been used throughout history to ease digestive issues and alleviate pain. We’ve also learned that Chaga is super antioxidant-rich and helps to activate immune cells. The best way to enjoy the benefits of Chaga is to make a tea. The IM team likes Maine Chaga Tea Chunks. This affordable tea is a perfect and thoughtful healthy gift for anyone on your “nice list.” 

Rowe Casa Products

Rowe Casa Organics is a family-owned company that sells over 150 organics products that fall under the categories of household, wellness, pets, personal care, outdoor, and baby. From detox bath salts and peppermint lip scrub to immune-boosting salve and relax drops, Rowe Casa Organics is a one-stop-shop for gifts this holiday season. They even sell special sets and bundles to make gift-giving a breeze. 

Skinny Coconut

Give the gift of a healthy tropical escape! Well, as close as one might get in the middle of winter. Skinny Coconut is a raw, virgin, unrefined, cold processed, cold-pressed, micro-filtered, and chemical-free coconut oil. Wild harvested from the jungles of Vietnam, Skinny Coconut oil is high in antioxidants and nutrients and can be added to coffee or smoothies or used in place of butter for cooking, frying, baking, and spreading. The smell is also absolutely heavenly! 

Gem-Water

Natural gemstones have been used for thousands of years across all different cultures for all different purposes. A unique property of gemstones is their ability to store energy. When this energy interacts with water, it causes the water’s structure to return to its more natural state. That state of water, when viewed under a microscope, actually resembles beautiful snowflakes. 

Gem-Water is a brand that creates VitaJuwel, gorgeous glass water bottles with a glass capsule inside containing different collections of gemstones. For example, the Wellness Gem-Water bottle has a blend of amethyst, rose quartz, and clear quartz, which soothe the mind, inspire tranquility and promote healthy and radiant skin. 

There are currently 21 different Gem-Water bottles by VitaJuwel. These make incredible gifts! This radiant wellness brand also makes jewelry, crystal straws, decanters, and pet bowls that all incorporate the healing power of gemstones. 

Nadovim

This holiday season, give the gift of mental clarity, concentration, energy, and improved memory; this is truly the gift that keeps on giving!

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme that our bodies naturally produce. However, factors like age, stress, chronic inflammation, diet, drugs, and alcohol can lead to a major depletion of NAD+. This power coenzyme is vital for DNA repair, energy production, and cognitive function. Symptoms such as chronic fatigue, anxiety, and brain fog are just a few consequences of low levels of NAD+. Fortunately, there is a potent pill that delivers not only a healthy daily dose of NAD+ but also CoQ10, Bacopa monnieri, cat’s claw, thiamine, magnesium malate, glycine, and aspartic acid. This nootropic supplement is called Nadovim. 

Steps for Staying Healthy This Holiday Season 

As the classic Christmas song goes, it’s the most wonderful time of the year! December is a festive month of fun, food, and family and friend gatherings. It is the season of giving and gratitude. If you’re not mindful, though, December can turn into a stressful, exhausting, and unhealthy month. This is not how you want to end your year! 

Fortunately, there are some simple steps you can take to keep your holiday sparkle and health. And, in the spirit of the giving season, make sure you share these steps with your friends and family too. 

Indulge Mindfully 

Food is synonymous with December—fried potato latkes, beef brisket, challah, pecan pie, a kaleidoscope of cookies, gravy, and cranberry sauce. Is your mouth watering yet? And how about washing that all down with eggnog, champagne, wine, and hot toddies? December is an indulgent month, and you know what, it’s okay to indulge a little! 

The key is to choose your indulgences wisely. Treat yourself to your holiday favorites, and really take the time to savor every bite and sip. In between festivities this month, give your body a break by eating clean, nutrient-dense, and easy-to-digest food. By supercharging your diet with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, you will also be supporting your immune system. 

Stay Hydrated 

To help support your body’s natural detoxification and digestion processes, it is important that you drink enough water every day. If you want to reap the full benefits of water, filtered structured water is the best. As mentioned in our gift guide, Somavedic, Therasage, and Gem-Water all make products that can structure your filtered water at home. 

Mind Your Z’s 

December is a busy month! Between shopping, cooking, baking, gift wrapping, decorating, parties, and family gatherings, on top of our regular responsibilities and obligations, it is easy to push sleep to the back burner in an effort to do everything. This is a big mistake! Sleep should remain a top priority. If you want to make it through December healthy and full of holiday cheer, you must allow yourself to recharge every night. 

Adopt an Attitude of Gratitude 

Gratitude is a potent elixir. The Universe also has a way of continuing to provide things to be grateful for to those who regularly offer thanks. According to TIME magazine, gratitude can make you more patient, improve your relationships, inspire more self-care, help you sleep better, stop you from overeating, ease depression, and sustain happiness. These are all benefits that we could definitely use a bit more of during the holiday season.

Give the Gift of Health 

If you really want to up your gift-giving game this year, giving a present that supports better health is truly the best gift of all. Health is the greatest asset, and to share something with someone that increases their health value makes you a master gift giver. And there is no shame in treating yourself to a healthy holiday present, too!
