In a world where brand crossovers are becoming increasingly bold, Jo Malone may have just pulled off the most unexpected one yet. The legendary British perfumer — cherished for fragrances like Pear & Freesia, Pomegranate Noir, and the ethereal Lavender & Moonflower — has stepped into a new sensory realm. And this time, it’s not about what you smell.
It’s about what you taste.
A Perfumer With an Unconventional Past
Jo Malone OBE has always embraced the unusual. She is severely dyslexic, famously unable to tell the time until she was nineteen. She once worked as a magician’s assistant, tending to white rabbits and a dove named Suki that appeared from a pan of fire. These details feel almost folkloric, but they encapsulate Malone’s genius — she sees the world differently, and she builds empires from that perspective.
After selling her original Jo Malone London brand to Estée Lauder in 1999, she returned triumphantly in 2011 with Jo Loves, creating fragrances that became instant modern classics — Pomelo, Love From Como, Mango Thai Lime, Rose Petal 25, Orange Butterflies. Each scent felt personal, memory-driven, and infused with her signature clarity.
So perhaps it isn’t surprising that she has once again leapt into the unknown.
From Scent to Spirit
Malone’s newest venture is Jo Vodka, a premium collection born from 18 months of development and driven by her lifelong synesthesia — the ability to “see” scent. She approached vodka the same way she approaches fragrance: through notes, balance, emotion, and an almost architectural layering of elements.
“Everyone knows me for smell,” she says. “But could I create myself in another sense? Taste felt like the closest path. Blending vodka isn’t so different from building perfume — one is for your nose, the other is for your palate.”
Malone teamed up with legendary master distiller Joanne Moore, whose work with Quintessential Brands includes award-winning gins like Bloom and Greenall’s. Production takes place at G&J Distillers in Cheshire, England, a heritage distillery known for meticulous craftsmanship. Quintessential founder Enzo Visone is also a partner in the venture.
The Jo Vodka Collection
The debut lineup features three expressions — each tied to a chapter of Malone’s life, each designed for both sipping and mixing.
101: The Purist
A vodka built around a “secret formula,” crisp, structured, and remarkably smooth. Malone describes its bouquet as standing “on a mountaintop,” with a whisper of white florals and a bright, clean finish. It slides effortlessly into a Dirty Martini.
102: The Bohemian
Inspired by her barefoot days on the beach in Dubai, The Bohemian leans toward citrus and sun. Pomelo, yuzu, bay leaf, and bergamot create a languid, coastal expression best served over ice with pomelo zest. It feels like a long exhale at golden hour.
103: The Artist
A tribute to her father — a painter and magician — and her childhood spent selling his artwork along the King’s Road. Floral and expressive, it blends rose, pink peppercorn, and sencha. It’s a nod to the 1970s, creativity, and the bohemian soul of London.
A New Sensory Chapter
Malone has never been one to stay in a single lane. She has shaped billion-dollar brands through instinct and imagination. Jo Vodka feels like the next natural leap — bold, elegant, and unexpected.
“I’ve always got a bottle in my hand somewhere in my life,” she laughs. The line is playful, but there’s something deeper, too. Malone is a builder, a storyteller, and above all, an artist who translates emotion into sensory form. Whether it’s a candle, a cologne, or now, a chilled glass of vodka, she creates experiences rooted in memory, magic, and a keen understanding of how people feel.
Each bottle of Jo Vodka retails for £50 (US$69). More at www.jovodka.com.
Irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, is a chronic or reoccurring series of gastrointestinal symptoms that often causes distress for those who have it. IBS is associated with a group of symptoms that affect the large and small intestines. It is estimated that IBS affects 10% to 15% of adults worldwide. Though no specific cause is known, several factors may contribute to IBS, including genetics, certain mental health disorders, food sensitivities or intolerances, infection or a change in intestinal bacteria type or amount. Certain foods and stress may trigger symptoms; diet changes, stress management and a healthy, active lifestyle may help manage IBS.
Symptoms of IBS
Symptoms vary, but typically include one or more of the following:
Abdominal pain
Cramping
Constipation or diarrhea
Bloating
Gassiness
Your doctor may order medical tests to rule out other causes of these symptoms.
IBS Triggers
People with irritable bowel syndrome have a sensitive intestinal tract in which stress and diet may play a role.
Stress. The colon contains nerves that connect to the brain. For people with IBS, stress can stimulate spasms in the colon, causing discomfort and pain.
Diet. Some people with IBS find symptoms worsen after eating large meals or high-fat foods. Specific foods also may trigger symptoms and can vary from person to person.
Changes for the Better
The best way to manage IBS can be highly individualized. It’s important to understand what may cause episodes of discomfort and then work to eliminate or minimize them. While medication, stress management and probiotics may help, eating habits also should be a focus, because they can have a significant impact. Some simple changes in the way you eat may offer relief and reduce future flare-ups.
Establish regular eating habits. Eating your meals at the same time each day may help regulate your bowels.
Eat small, frequent meals instead of large ones. This will ease the amount of food moving through your intestinal tract.
Focus on a healthful eating pattern, including sources of dietary fiber. Try whole fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains including rolled oats, brown rice and whole-wheat bread. Make changes slowly. Fiber helps move food through your intestine, but it takes time for your body to adjust to eating more. Adding too much too quickly may result in gas, bloating and cramping.
Drink enough fluids. Fiber draws water from your body to move foods through your intestine. Without enough water and fluids, you may become constipated.
Watch what you drink. Alcohol and caffeine can stimulate your intestines, which may cause diarrhea. Artificial sweeteners that contain sugar alcohols such as sorbitol, mannitol and xylitol may cause diarrhea too. Carbonated drinks can produce gas.
Consider FODMAPs. Fermentable, oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols — these short-chain carbohydrates are found naturally in many of the foods we eat. They may be poorly absorbed in the intestine by people with IBS. A registered dietitian nutritionist can help determine if there are high-FODMAP foods you may be sensitive to and if a modified eating pattern is right for you.
Identify problem foods and eating habits. Recording your daily food intake in a food diary during flare-ups can help you figure out which foods contribute to IBS symptoms.
How an RDN Can Help
A registered dietitian nutritionist can help you manage irritable bowel syndrome by developing an individualized eating plan. An RDN will work with you to identify which foods and habits might cause you distress and review healthy eating strategies to help you manage your symptoms, along with other forms of treatment, if needed.
The American Medical Association passed a resolution encouraging hospitals to offer healthy plant-based food options.
“Globally, 11 million deaths annually are attributable to dietary factors, placing poor diet ahead of any other risk factor for death in the world.” Given that diet is our leading killer, you’d think that nutrition education would be emphasized during medical school and training, but there is a deficiency. A systematic review found that, “despite the centrality of nutrition to a healthy lifestyle, graduating medical students are not supported through their education to provide high-quality, effective nutrition care to patients…”
It could start in undergrad. What’s more important? Learning about humanity’s leading killer or organic chemistry?
In medical school, students may average only 19 hours of nutrition out of thousands of hours of instruction, and they aren’t even being taught what’s most useful. How many cases of scurvy and beriberi, diseases of dietary deficiency, will they encounter in clinical practice? In contrast, how many of their future patients will be suffering from dietary excesses—obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease? Those are probably a little more common than scurvy or beriberi. “Nevertheless, fully 95% of cardiologists [surveyed] believe that their role includes personally providing patients with at least basic nutrition information,” yet not even one in ten feels they have an “expert” grasp on the subject.
If you look at the clinical guidelines for what we should do for our patients with regard to our number one killer, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, all treatment begins with a healthy lifestyle, as shown below and at 1:50 in my video Hospitals with 100-Percent Plant-Based Menus.
“Yet, how can clinicians put these guidelines into practice without adequate training in nutrition?”
Less than half of medical schools report teaching any nutrition in clinical practice. In fact, they may be effectively teaching anti-nutrition, as “students typically begin medical school with a greater appreciation for the role of nutrition in health than when they leave.” Below and at 2:36 in my video is a figure entitled “Percentage of Medical Students Indicating that Nutrition is Important to Their Careers.” Upon entry to different medical schools, about three-quarters on average felt that nutrition is important to their careers. Smart bunch. Then, after two years of instruction, they were asked the same question, and the numbers plummeted. In fact, at most schools, it fell to 0%. Instead of being educated, they got de-educated. They had the notion that nutrition is important washed right out of their brains. “Thus, preclinical teaching”— the first two years of medical school—“engenders a loss of a sense of the relevance of the applied discipline of nutrition.”
Following medical school, during residency, nutrition education is “minimal or, more typically, absent.” “Major updates” were released in 2018 for residency and fellowship training requirements, and there were zero requirements for nutrition. “So you could have an internal medicine graduate who comes out of a terrific program and has learned nothing—literally nothing—about nutrition.”
“Why is diet not routinely addressed in both medical education and practice already, and what should be done about that?” One of the “reasons for the medical silence in nutrition” is that, “sadly…nutrition takes a back seat…because there are few financial incentives to support it.” What can we do about that? The Food Law and Policy Clinic at Harvard Law School identified a dozen different policy levers at all stages of medical education and the kinds of policy recommendations there could be for the decision-makers, as you can see here and at 3:48 in my video.
For instance, the government could require doctors working for Veterans Affairs (VA) to get at least some courses in nutrition, or we could put questions about nutrition on the board exams so schools would be pressured to teach it. As we are now, even patients who have just had a heart attack aren’t changing their diet. Doctors may not be telling them to do so, and hospitals may be actively undermining their future with the food they serve.
The good news is that the American Medical Association (AMA) has passed a resolution encouraging hospitals to offer healthy food options. What a concept! “Our AMA hereby calls on [U.S.] Health Care Facilities to improve the health of patients, staff, and visitors by: (a) providing a variety of healthy food, including plant-based meals, and meals that are low in saturated and trans fat, sodium, and added sugars; (b) eliminating processed meats from menus; and (c) providing and promoting healthy beverages.” Nice!
“Similarly, in 2018, the State of California mandated the availability of plant-based meals for hospital patients,” and there are hospitals in Gainesville (FL), the Bronx, Manhattan, Denver, and Tampa (FL) that “all provide 100% plant-based meals to their patients on a separate menu and provide educational materials to inpatients to improve education on the role of diet, especially plant-based diets, in chronic illness.”
Let’s check out some of their menu offerings: How about some lentil Bolognese? Or a cauliflower scramble with baked hash browns for breakfast, mushroom ragu for lunch, and, for supper, white bean stew, salad, and fruit for dessert. (This is the first time a hospital menu has ever made me hungry!)
The key to these transformations was “having a physician advocate and increasing education of staff and patients on the benefits of eating more plant-based foods.” A single clinician can spark change in a whole system, because science is on their side. “Doctors have a unique position in society” to influence policy at all levels; it’s about time we used it.

Understanding what a skin rash is communicating can be key to managing your skin health effectively. Skin rashes are common conditions that can range from mild irritations to symptoms of serious underlying health issues. This article explores the most frequent skin rash causes, their types, symptoms, and treatments, focusing on conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. By understanding these elements, you can better recognize when to seek medical advice and how to care for your skin proactively.
What Are the Most Common Skin Rash Types?
Skin rashes manifest in various forms, each with unique characteristics and causes. Recognizing these different types helps in understanding their origins and appropriate responses.
Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis): Eczema is a prevalent chronic skin condition characterized by red, inflamed, itchy patches. It often appears on the hands, face, and inside elbows or knees. Eczema flare-ups can be triggered by allergens, irritants, stress, or weather changes.
Psoriasis: Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition that causes skin cells to multiply rapidly, leading to thick, silvery scales and itchy, dry patches. These patches commonly appear on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. Psoriasis is often chronic and can be triggered by infections, stress, or injury to the skin.
Contact Dermatitis: This rash results from direct skin contact with allergens or irritants such as detergents, poison ivy, or certain metals. It typically causes red, itchy, and sometimes blistered areas at the site of contact.
Hives (Urticaria): Hives are raised, itchy welts that can appear suddenly due to allergic reactions to foods, medications, or insect stings. They usually fade within 24 hours but may reappear frequently in chronic cases.
Fungal Infections: Rashes caused by fungal infections, like ringworm or athlete’s foot, present with ring-shaped red patches or scaling. These infections typically thrive in warm, moist environments.
What Causes Skin Rashes?
Skin rash causes are diverse and depend on the type of rash, according to the National Institutes of Health. Allergic reactions, infections, immune system disorders, and environmental factors all play roles.
Allergic Reactions: Contact with allergens leads to immune responses causing redness, swelling, and itchiness.
Infections: Viral, bacterial, or fungal infections can cause rashes as the body fights pathogens.
Autoimmune Conditions: Disorders like psoriasis occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells.
Environmental Triggers: Excessive heat, cold, humidity, or irritants like soaps and chemicals may provoke rashes.
Both eczema and psoriasis are influenced by genetic predisposition and environmental triggers, requiring tailored management strategies.
How to Identify Eczema and Its Symptoms
Eczema is one of the most common chronic skin conditions, often starting in childhood but affecting people of all ages. The rash usually appears as dry, scaly, itchy patches on the skin. Common eczema locations include the inside of elbows, behind the knees, face, and hands.
Symptoms to watch for:
Intense itching
Red to brownish-gray patches
Small, raised bumps that may leak fluid and crust over when scratched
Thickened, cracked, or scaly skin in chronic cases
Triggers for eczema flare-ups include stress, allergens (like pollen or pet dander), irritants (such as soaps and detergents), and temperature changes. Identifying and avoiding these triggers is essential in managing eczema.
How Is Psoriasis Different From Other Skin Rashes?
Psoriasis is immune-mediated and differs notably in appearance and cause, according to Harvard Health. It accelerates skin cell production, leading to plaque formation that appears silvery and thick with defined edges.
Key features that distinguish psoriasis include:
Patches covered with silvery scales
Frequently occurring on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back
Possible nail changes such as pitting or discoloration
May be accompanied by joint pain in psoriatic arthritis
Triggers include infections, stress, smoking, alcohol, and certain medications. Unlike eczema, psoriasis is chronic and often requires long-term treatment to control flare-ups.
When Should You See a Doctor for a Skin Rash?
Most skin rashes are harmless and resolve on their own or with simple treatment. However, certain signs indicate the need for professional evaluation:
Rash lasting more than two weeks without improvement
Spread of rash despite home treatment
Rash accompanied by fever, pain, or swelling
Blistering, oozing, or signs of infection
Difficulty breathing or swallowing (indicating a severe allergic reaction)
Early diagnosis can ensure proper treatment, particularly for chronic conditions like eczema and psoriasis that may worsen if untreated.
Can Stress Cause Skin Rashes?
Stress is a well-known trigger for both eczema and psoriasis. It can exacerbate inflammation and weaken the skin’s ability to repair itself, leading to flare-ups and prolonged healing times. Managing stress through mindfulness, exercise, or therapy can be an important part of rash management.
How Are Skin Rashes Treated?
Treatment depends on the specific rash type and its severity.
Eczema: Moisturizers (emollients) to keep skin hydrated, topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, and avoiding known triggers are mainstays. In severe cases, prescription medications or phototherapy may be used.
Psoriasis: Topical treatments like corticosteroids and vitamin D analogs, systemic medications, and biologics target the immune response. Phototherapy is also effective for moderate to severe cases.
Contact Dermatitis: Identifying and avoiding the irritant, using topical steroids, and soothing skin with cool compresses are effective.
Fungal Infections: Antifungal creams or oral medications clear infection.
Hives: Antihistamines can relieve symptoms.
Key Tips to Prevent Skin Rashes
Preventing skin rashes involves protecting the skin from irritants and maintaining its natural barrier function:
Keep skin clean and moisturized to prevent dryness
Avoid harsh soaps or detergents that strip the skin
Wear protective clothing when exposed to potential allergens or irritants
Manage stress through lifestyle interventions
Identify and steer clear of personal rash triggers
For those with eczema or psoriasis, adhering to treatment plans and regular skin care routines can significantly reduce the frequency and severity of flare-ups.
Understanding the different skin rash types and their causes can empower individuals to respond appropriately and seek timely treatment. Conditions like eczema and psoriasis, while chronic, are manageable with proper care. Recognizing what a rash is trying to tell you offers a valuable path toward healthier skin and improved well-being.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can diet influence the severity of skin rashes like eczema or psoriasis?
Certain foods may trigger or worsen skin inflammation in some people with eczema or psoriasis. While there’s no universal “rash diet,” avoiding known allergens or inflammatory foods like dairy, gluten, or processed sugars might help reduce flare-ups. Consultation with a healthcare provider or dietitian can guide personalized dietary adjustments.
2. How do climate and seasonal changes affect skin rash conditions?
Cold, dry weather often worsens eczema by drying out the skin, while hot, humid conditions may increase sweating and irritation. Psoriasis symptoms can also fluctuate with seasons, sometimes improving in sunlight but worsening in winter. Proper skin care routines adjusted for climate can help manage these effects.
3. Are there natural or home remedies effective for managing mild skin rashes?
Some natural remedies like oatmeal baths, aloe vera, and coconut oil can soothe irritated skin and reduce mild rash symptoms. However, these should be used cautiously and not replace medical treatments, especially for chronic conditions like eczema or psoriasis.
4. Can medications cause skin rashes, and how should they be handled?
Yes, certain medications can provoke allergic skin reactions or rashes as side effects. If a rash develops after starting a new medication, it is important to contact a healthcare provider promptly to assess whether the medication should be adjusted or discontinued.

Explore this mindfulness practice to foster forgiveness and let go of the tendency to add to suffering during challenging situations.
Two monks are walking down the road. They arrive at a muddy stream crossing, and a well-dressed woman declares without introduction, “Don’t just stand there. Someone carry me across this mess.“
Without pause, the older monk lifts her across. She says nothing, not even a thank you.
The two monks walk all day. The whole time, the younger one stews in his mind—How could he pick her up? We’re not supposed to touch women, or even talk to them. And she was so rude, someone should say something to her, she didn’t deserve our help.
Finally, arriving at the inn for dinner, he can’t hold himself back. “What were you thinking?” he asks his friend. “She was nasty, and you broke the rules, and she didn’t even say thank you.”
The older monk smiles gently and replies. “Wow, I put that woman down hours ago, but you’ve been carrying her all this time!”
Why We Carry Anger and Resentment
So what does that mean in real life? We make mistakes. Other people make mistakes. We do things to others. Others do things to us. There’s an actual experience that can be trivial or even traumatic. We add to the suffering with judgment, anger, and blame. It’s sometimes referred to as adding a second arrow after being struck by a first. Something unpleasant happens, but then we add more to the experience.
With forgiveness, we make amends when needed but let go of the extra baggage. We give ourselves the same benefit of the doubt we’d offer a close friend.
Forgiveness isn’t the same as condoning ourselves or anyone else for misbehavior. But we so easily hold ourselves infinitely responsible, often for experiences utterly out of our control or from decades past. With forgiveness, we make amends when needed but let go of the extra baggage. We give ourselves the same benefit of the doubt we’d offer a close friend.
On the other hand, we sometimes allow someone else to influence our lives long after they’ve gone in a similar fashion. Another driver cuts us off in traffic, putting us in danger, and then speeds off. The driver arrives at brunch and relaxes, but we make our own coffee break bitter dwelling in our own anger. It’s a concept that holds across larger situations too. Anger and resentment simmer and grow, while compassionate resolve allows us to address what needs addressing without slinging additional arrows.
A Forgiveness Meditation to Let Go of Added Suffering
Find yourself a comfortable posture, or take a moment lying on the floor, or a bed.
Bring your attention to the physical sensation of breathing, noting whatever is grabbing your attention, or whatever you’re feeling now, and without judgment, bringing your attention back to the rising and falling of your breath.
Picture something that comes to mind that you judge yourself for. Maybe you feel regret, or irritation, or sadness. Notice how it feels even bringing it to mind. Then focus on these three phrases, not forcing anything but setting an intention: I forgive myself for not understanding. I forgive myself for making mistakes. I forgive myself for causing pain and suffering to myself and others.
Bring your attention back again and repeat the phrases. For a few moments instead of the breath using these phrases as a focus for your attention. This type of practice may become too painful. At any time, without judging yourself, come back and focus on the breath. Allow yourself to settle and return when you’re ready, now or maybe some time in the future.
Our mind naturally holds onto instances where we feel mistreated by others. There may be experiences that were entirely wrong or traumatic or that concretely require our attention or action. At the same time, we can practice avoiding the second arrow. I forgive you for not understanding. I forgive you for making mistakes. I forgive you for causing pain and suffering to me and to others. Letting go of the tendency to add resentment and judgment and everything related to challenging and unpleasant situations. Again, if it’s too much to consider, return to breathing, or if you prefer, focusing on compassion for yourself instead.
Practices of this kind can be quite challenging, so in these last few moments, on each in-breath, noticing and accepting whatever you feel right now. On each out-breath, as you would for a close friend, offering yourself relief, or freedom, or strength, or whatever first comes to mind.
Forgiveness doesn’t mean being passive or not taking action. It doesn’t mean standing down when we need to protect ourselves or someone else from harm. Do what needs to be done—that might mean taking a pause, settling the mind, and trying to see things as clearly as possible before taking skillful action. Continue to practice forgiveness, over and over again, letting go of whatever holds you back.

Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana expressed his “concern” for the potential change to the hepatitis B vaccine schedule for infants in the United States.
The lawmaker’s concern comes as Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s panel of federal vaccine advisers will come together to talk about and potentially vote on a change to the vaccine schedule when they meet for the next time on Dec. 4.
Bill Cassidy on Hepatitis B Vaccine Schedule
Cassidy said that his skepticism of the change is because the hepatitis B vaccine and its ingredients, which include aluminum, have been “shown to be safe.” He argued that this is a policy made by people who do not understand the epidemiology of hepatitis B or who have become comfortable with long-term success with the current recommendation.
A Federal Register notice showed that the agenda for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will include talks on “vaccine safety, the childhood and adolescent immunization schedule, and hepatitis B vaccines, according to The Hill.
The idea of removing aluminum, or even issuing a warning about its use, would significantly affect some of the most important childhood shots across the United States. These include those for DTaP, hepatitis A and B, HPV, pneumococcal, and meningitis.
Other than hepatitis B, it is not yet clear what other possible changes the panel could talk about in the upcoming meeting. However, United States President Donald Trump’s administration has long been advocating for breaking up the combined measles-mumps-rubella shot that is given to children and turning it into three shots.
The Benefits of Current Recommendations
Cassidy, who chairs the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, said that, as a doctor, he has seen people die from vaccine-preventable diseases. He added that he wants to make America healthy, and argued that this does not start by stopping recommendations that have made people “substantially healthier,” CBS News reported.
The Republican senator, who is a physician whose medical practice focused on hepatitis B, noted that the recommended vaccine, which is given at birth, has decreased the incidence of chronic hepatitis B by 20,000 people over the last two decades.
Data showed that since the recommendation that infants receive their first hepatitis B vaccine dose within 24 hours after being born, which was implemented in 1991, it has given various benefits. These include the prevention of more than 500,000 childhood infections and the reduction of infant hepatitis B cases by 95 percent, among other things, as per NFID.

Ageing naturally decreases your VO₂max by around 10% every decade after 30. But regular use of the CAROL Bike can reverse that trend. In just eight weeks, users can regain the fitness levels they had 10 years earlier.
Why CAROL Bike Fits Every Lifestyle
Whether you’re a busy professional, a parent short on time, or someone returning to fitness, CAROL adapts to your schedule. The workouts are short but intense enough to keep your metabolism elevated for hours afterward: research from the American Council on Exercise shows that 60% of calories burned happen post-workout.
With its sleek, minimalist design and built-in touchscreen interface, it fits easily into your home without dominating your space.
The Verdict: Science Meets Simplicity
The CAROL Bike isn’t just another high-tech exercise machine, it’s a revolution in how we think about fitness and longevity. Backed by science and powered by AI, it gives you measurable results in minutes, not hours.
If you’re ready to boost your cardiovascular health, improve metabolic balance, and save time, CAROL is more than worth the ride.
