Things to Keep in Mind When Choosing a Scuba Mask


Toronto-based homeopathic practitioner Karolina Dziunikowska has devoted her practice to using healthy and natural means to help her patients achieve a better quality of life. In her leisure time, Karolina Dziunikowska enjoys various outdoor activities, including scuba diving.

Deciding on the right mask is arguably the most important decision one can make when taking up scuba diving. Below are some important factors to consider when picking out this crucial piece of equipment.

Start by holding the mask gently against the face. Make sure the strap is looped in the front and out of the way. Then, slowly take a deep breath, inhaling through the nose. If the mask stays in place without any air leaks, then it will create the right seal you need while underwater. Make sure the skirt of the mask is evenly resting against the face.

Be sure to adjust the strap for comfort as well, making sure it isn’t too tight and digging into the skin. If possible, attach a snorkel and put in the mouthpiece--or, if applicable, put a scuba regulator in the mouth. After doing this, check to see that the fit of the mask is still acceptable.

Lastly, ensure an adequate range of motion for the head. You should be able to look ahead, up down, and left and right in an unhindered fashion. If the mask is situated in such a way that does not allow for doing so, it will require further adjustment.

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. Since the summer of 2016, Doctors Without Borders has ramped up efforts to aid Nigerian people living in the state of Borno. As it stands, more than half a million people have been displaced by violence stemming from conflicts with the terrorist group Boko Haram. 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. This has resulted in malnutrition and related illnesses on a large scale, and local hospitals are over filled. Doctors Without Borders provides help through a two-pronged attack on malnutrition. Volunteer physicians are working hard to treat patients at new clinics and a nutrition center. Meanwhile, oth
