Scuba Diving Tips for Beginners



A homeopathic practitioner by profession, Karolina Dziunikowska is an avid scuba diver in her free time. Karolina Dziunikowska has earned her open water diver certification and enjoys the colors and the feeling of calm that she experiences while diving.

The experienced diver knows that each excursion requires safety, preparation, and active participation. This begins with caring properly for one's equipment and checking before each dive to ensure that all required equipment is available. All divers should know how to get to any necessary equipment while underwater and how to examine it regularly for potential leaks or indications of wear.

Once under the water, the diver must continue to make responsible decisions. New and experienced divers alike should know their limits and stay within them. This may mean a diver's decision not to dive if he or she is congested, tired, or otherwise ill. Divers should be particularly aware of their cardiovascular health and undergo regular testing to ensure that diving is safe.

Awareness of capabilities extends to diving skills, as well. New divers should take courses to extend their range of comfortable depths and environments, and they progress slowly to maintain comfort. Experienced divers should complete refresher courses, and all skilled divers should review emergency procedures before going underwater.

Three Key Principles of Homeopathy

Karolina Dziunikowska practices homeopathic medicine in Toronto, Canada. In her work, Karolina Dziunikowska uses homeopathic principles and remedies to help patients stimulate their own healing capacities. Homeopathy is the practice of using naturally-derived medicinal therapies in highly diluted forms. Practitioners of homeopathy generally focus on three key principles as they help patients heal themselves. The first principle of homeopathy is “let likes cure likes,” which dates back to Hippocrates. Homeopathic practitioners use this principle to match the characteristics of a homeopathic remedy to a symptom a patient is experiencing.  The second principle is known as “the single remedy.” In homeopathy, only one remedy is typically administered at a time. Each remedy has a unique set of properties that may be unpredictably impacted by other remedies.  The third principle relies on using “the minimum dose.” Homeopathic remedies use the weakest possible concentration of active substa

Doctors Without Borders Fights Malnutrition in Nigeria

  In Toronto, Canada, homeopathic practitioner Karolina Dziunikowska helps her patients feel better naturally. As a healer and humanitarian, Karolina Dziunikowska also supports Doctors Without Borders and the group’s international efforts to save lives.

These individuals have lost their homes and now live in government-controlled towns and encampments. For many, outside aid is the only available source of food.
