Natural Choices…Where to Start?

Natural Choices…Where to Start?

With the huge number of herbs and supplements in the marketplace today, people often wonder, “Where do I begin?”  Most people have been trained to think in terms of treating diseases instead of building health.  When we focus on treating disease, things can become very confusing, but when we focus on building health, the task becomes much simpler!  The body has the capacity to heal itself when we provide it with the basic nutrients it needs.

So, start by creating a good basic supplement program and design your own daily habit of health program.  Here are the components you should consider (children need these too!):

Vitamins and Minerals:  A quality multiple vitamin and mineral supplement improves one’s basic nutrition intake.

Antioxidants:  Fresh fruits and vegetables are natural sources of antioxidants…nutrients that protect the body from free radical damage.  Most people are not consuming enough produce and need good high potency antioxidant supplements.

Essential Fatty Acids:  Most people crave fats because their bodies are looking for essential fatty acids, which are missing from the processed oils they consume.  A good high potency Omega 3 or Flax Seed oil will supply these essential fatty acids, reducing inflammation and the risk of cardiovascular disease (and so much more!).

Meal Replacements:  Since most people primarily eat processed foods, the body is craving good nutrition.  A good meal replacement added to your diet will ensure that most of your basic nutritional needs are met.   (tip ~ liquid herbs may be added to these for more nutrition)

Enzymes:  Since most people eat primarily cooked and processed food, supplementing the diet with plant enzymes is essential for better utilization of nutrients.  For people over 50, or those who have severe digestive issues, a nice well-rounded food enzyme supplement is much needed!

Probiotics:  Antibiotics destroy the friendly bacteria in the intestinal tract known as probiotics.  This creates problems with yeast infections and leaky gut syndrome, which can be root causes of many health problems.  A good probiotic can restore normal intestinal flora.

Fiber:  Most people do not get enough fiber.  Increasing fiber intake can improve elimination, reduce toxins and lower cholesterol.  (tip ~ fiber helps the colon to move much better!)

Cleansing:  VIP!  A good cleansing program is a great way to improve your overall health!  (tip ~ every cell and organ in the body can be cleansed)

Confused or overwhelmed?  Consider the ABC+D approach!

A ~ Activate with Enzymes (& also the emotions…more on that later tho)

B ~ Build the body

C ~ Cleanse the body

D ~ Direct Aide…support the issue that is ailing you the most (like sinuses, headaches, indigestion, stress, lack of sleep, etc.)

Another easy way to get started is to fill out a health analysis form.  (tip ~ for best results…be honest!)

A little bit about me…

I’ve been an Herbalist / Natural Health Consultant since 1986.  I’ve not only helped myself regain and maintain my health but I have helped many people to regain their health as well!

The companies I prefer to work with are Nature’s Sunshine Products and Sisel International.  Why?  Because of integrity of company and integrity of products!  There are many supplement companies out there now.  I realize it’s hard to figure out which one is best for you.  Many companies talk a good talk…but they don’t walk the good walk.

The way I look at it…I’m not going to waste my hard earned money on products that contain chemicals and have poor potency levels.  I tried several companies back in the early 80’s…but none of their products helped me.  Then I found Nature’s Sunshine and I was on the fast road to feeling (& looking) great!  I brought on Sisel International because they carry products NSP doesn’t and vice versa.  2 great companies to help us!

P.S.  If you cannot afford to take good quality supplements...don’t waste your money on “cheap” supplements!  Eat healthy.  Eat more fruits and vegetables and cut way back on the meats, sugars, alcohol, etc.  Chew your food.  Don’t drink cold liquids while eating.  Rotate your foods.  Just doing these easy steps will help you feel better!  J

Have you heard about Himalayan Salt?

Have you heard about Himalayan Salt?

Pure Himalayan Natural Crystal Salts are mined (5,000 feet) deep below the surface of the Himalayan Mountains in ancient salt mines.  They are free of sand, clay, gypsum, preservatives, anti-clumping agents and contaminants!  These salts contain 84+ valuable minerals and all natural trace elements considered essential for the body, are viewed as the foundation of life, are balanced, can easily be metabolized by the body and help balance pH.

There are many healing properties to these salts!  They are antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, anti-allergenic, antiseptic, antifungal, anti-microbial, are balancing and have an energizing effect.  They have been known to help with respiratory issues, allergies, hay fever, influenza, dehydration, arthritis, gout, osteoporosis, asthma, bronchitis, open wounds, reducing fever, sinus infections, cold feet, dental hygiene, psoriasis, herpes, nervousness, insomnia, lack of concentration, ADHD and so much more!  Pure Himalayan salts are perfect for detox baths and a great way to increase your electrolytes!

This is not the “everyday salt” that many people use on their food!  Table salt is mainly sodium chloride with additives (toxic to the body).  Pure Himalayan salt (also known as Himalayan Pink Gourmet Salt) is holistic, wholesome, unaltered, natural salt that infuses food with a wonderful, uniquely rich flavor.  Once you start using pure Himalayan Pink Gourmet Salt there will be no going back!

The use of pure Himalayan Natural Crystal Salts in various forms (lamps, candle holders, etc.) helps to produce a healthy indoor environment by adding negative ions to the air.  The result is clean and dust-free indoor air, which improves quality of sleep & better air to breathe in your home & place of work!  By adding the negative ions, this negates the positive ions in the air created by EMF’s (computer, phone, lights, etc.) pollution, chemicals (carpet, paint, etc.), smoke, pollen, mold, bacteria, etc.  Better negative ion levels promote overall well-being, increased energy, better respiratory health & immune system health plus it promotes a calmer, more peaceful & happier environment!

EEEEK-Lice and how to get rid of them!

Lice  (or Louse)

As kids prepare to head back to school for a new school year — parents may want to check their children’s heads when they come home!

Mutant or Super Lice have hit 25 states…including Wisconsin!

"Super lice" are a more resilient strain and are resistant to over-the-counter medications.

Lice spread easily from one person to another through close contact or through shared clothing or personal items (such as hats, clothing, combs, hairbrushes, etc.). A louse cannot jump or fly.  You can also get lice from the back of a seat, like in a movie theater.

It is estimated that one in four kids will eventually get lice at some point during their childhood.

Lice are tiny insects that live on humans and feed on blood.  When a large number of lice live and multiply on a person, it is called an infestation.

Three different kinds of lice live on humans:

Head lice  are usually found in hair, most often on the back of the neck and behind the ears. Head lice are common in preschool and elementary school-age children.  Adults can get them too, especially adults who live with children.

Pubic lice , also called crabs, are usually found in the pubic area.  But they may also be found on facial hair, on eyelashes, on eyebrows, in the armpits, on chest hair, and, rarely, on the scalp.

Body lice  live and lay eggs (nits) in the seams of clothing.  The lice are on the body only when they feed.

The most common symptom of lice is itching. There are different symptoms, depending on which type of lice you have.

·         Head lice may not cause any symptoms at first.  Itching on the scalp may start weeks or even months after lice have started to spread.  Scratching can make the skin raw.  The raw skin may ooze clear fluid or crust over, and it may get infected.

·         Pubic lice cause severe itching.  Their bites may cause small marks that look like bruises on the torso, thighs, or upper arms.  If pubic lice get on the eyelashes, the edges of the eyelids may be crusted.  You may see lice and their eggs at the base of the eyelashes.

·         Body lice cause very bad itching, especially at night.  Itchy sores appear in the armpits and on the waist, torso, and other areas where the seams of clothes press against the skin.  The lice and eggs may be found in the seams of the person's clothing but are typically not seen on the skin.

·         Frequent scratching can cause a skin infection.  In the most severe cases of head lice, hair may fall out, and the skin may get darker in the areas infested with lice.

Signs and symptoms of lice include:

   

·         Intense itching

·         Tickling feeling from movement of hair

·         Lice on your scalp, body, clothing, or pubic or other body hair.  Adult lice may be about the size of a sesame seed or slightly larger.

·         Lice eggs (nits) on hair shafts.  Nits resemble tiny pussy willow buds.  Nits can be mistaken for dandruff, but unlike dandruff, they can't be easily brushed out of hair.

·         Small red bumps on the scalp, neck and shoulders

To prevent spreading lice:

Avoid head to head contact (hair to hair)

Don’t share combs, brushes, clothing, bedding or other personal items

Bathe regularly

Wash clothes in hot water to kill the lice & prevent the hatching of the eggs

Frequently examine school-aged children from head to toe for lice and eggs

To kill Lice…here are some ideas for you to consider:

1.     Coat affected head with vinegar or olive oil, then use a very fine toothed comb to make several passes through the hair.  This should get rid of the adult lice.  You still need to remember that there may be eggs and they will hatch…so these new lice need to be killed as well.

2.     One parent suggested using cheap olive oil to coat the hair and suffocate the lice.  The first night you sleep with the olive oil still in the hair, you're going to kill all the adults.  After 21 days of continued olive oil treatment, a person will be lice free.  As an added bonus, the olive oil makes the hair look and feel great.  Plus, if you continue to use it once a week, the lice won't come around again.

3.     Hair products like gel and mousse work also help to keep these pests away.

4.     In a good natural shampoo (I would consider not using general store bought shampoo because of the chemicals), add either Garlic Oil or Black Walnut Extract.  Be sure to scrub the head well and use a fine-toothed comb.

5.     Essential Oils are a great way to help kill/suffocate the lice.  Consider these oils ~ Eucalyptus + Lavender, Peppermint or Geranium.  Or just Tea Tree.  Or just Eucalyptus.

a.     You may add a few drops to your shampoo and scrub the head really well.

b.     Or add a few drops to Olive Oil, cover with a shower cap and leave on overnight.  Be sure to put cotton around the face so the oils do not get into the eyes.  I would consider doing this for 21 days like suggested above.  That way as the eggs hatch, you are killing the new pests.

6.     Rinse hair daily with Apple cider Vinegar.
