Dahn yoga looks to improve pain management as well as self healing.
The 2010 movie Love and Other Drugs may seem like a simple romantic comedy starring young actors Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway. However, the story – directed by the famous Edward Zwick – turns out to be both a drama and an inspiration as well as providing laughs and romance.
Gyllenhaal plays Jamie, a very smart young man who takes on a job as a medical representative. He finds himself selling a drug called Viagra. Anne Hathaway plays Maggie Murdock, a free-spirited woman that Jamie falls in love with. However, Maggie takes medication for Parkinson's Disease and her illness continues to give her pain and distress.
The couple struggles to find a place where they can feel secure in their relationship, while confronting a serious illness. In the end, the love that binds them and gives them hope is truly inspirational.
Not only does this movie deal with the current trends of no-strings-attached romantic involvement, it tries to weave elements of life-changing personal illnesses and historical pharmaceutical discoveries in to the mix as well. Being able to heal oneself and reach out to love when it is offered to you is one of the inspiring lessons from the film.
