Garage door can be kept in good condition by giving it a monthly inspection, keeping it clean and oiling the door roller, bearings and hinges while keeping a watch for signs of rust and wear. It protects the valuables, home and family while being the largest architectural feature on the front of home so its maintenance is of utmost importance. Garage door’s tightly wound springs stretch each time it is opened and closed. Mostly torsion springs are used commonly used for sectional overhead doors.

And there are two types of torsion springs, one is the galvanized and the other oil tempered. Oil tempered torsion springs are recommended as they provide years of trouble-free operation. And they can be maintained by applying a silicone lubricant.

There should be a safety containment system in place. Metal tube can be used to enclose the garage door springs so as to avoid damage if any of it breaks or there is a safety cable running through extension springs. If the door needs a repair always trust it with a professional instead of doing a DIY or hiring a rookie. Choose a person with a good experience either listed in a good site with recommendations or suggested by trustworthy friend.

If the door is noisy, imbalanced, or springs & hinges have worn out, it’s best to call a professional. Another part of garage door spring systems are the garage door brackets at the bottom of the garage door. If they are under tension, it should only be adjusted by a garage door professional. Do not consider repair of garage door as a school project or a DIY craft project. It gives protection to the homes and family, trust its repair only to right professional. Maintain it as per the guideline of the makers and repair doers.

Sustainability is an ongoing theme in a world that finally answers the environment’s call to action. From toning down single-use plastics to making subtle yet powerful lifestyle changes, modern society means business when it comes to the green revolution.

The skincare industry, in particular, is pitching in by resorting to clean beauty. From Greece to the Netherlands, Amalia Pavlidou stumbled upon a revelation. As she browsed rows of natural products, the idea for Alternative Therapies began to take shape—a skincare line rooted in nature, yet forward-thinking in science.

The Evolution of a Conscious Skincare Movement

As consumers demand more transparency in their beauty routines, the natural and vegan skincare market is booming. Alternative Therapies finds itself at the heart of this eco-conscious shift.

“When we started, it was not just about creating products—it was about driving a movement that would help put the world on track toward healing,” says Amalia Pavlidou. “I wanted to prove that luxury and sustainability can coexist without canceling each other out.”

This philosophy shines through in every detail, from the company’s recyclable glass packaging to its commitment to avoiding harmful chemicals like parabens and sulfates. One of the flagship products, the vitamin C serum, is a true reflection of this concept, blending 2% natural Vitamin C, ferulic acid, and sea-buckthorn to deliver both radiant skin and a clean conscience.

Alternative Therapies, once a small player, has utilized this trend, entering the competitive U.S. market this year. “There is a deep-rooted connection between nature and self-care in Greek culture,” explains Pavlidou. “We are bringing that tradition to the global stage, blending it with progressive science.”

The Rise of Eco-Beauty

Amalia Pavlidou’s plan for progress in the industry—one where luxury does not compromise ethics—has attracted a growing community of supporters. As Alternative Therapies expands its presence in the U.S., it remains grounded in its mission to redefine beauty standards.

“When I started this, I was hoping to do more than simply build a business—I wanted to build a legacy,” reflects Pavlidou. “Apart from looking good, beauty should be about feeling good and doing good.”

Now the question is not whether the beauty industry will embrace sustainability—it is how quickly it can catch up with pioneers like Alternative Therapies taking the reins. With its commitment to changing the world with mild ingredients, the brand is crafting a greener glow, lighting the way for a more conscious industry. To that effect, it is evident that luxury and beauty can be synonymous.
