MILK THISTLE FOR SEASON OF ABUSE!
Oh dear, we are getting into the Season of Liver Abuse! A great way to get prepared is to start taking Milk thistle to counteract the effect of stodgy winter foods and excess alcohol. There are many preparations on the market, but the one I always reach for is the A Vogel Milk Thistle Complex. It contains Milk Thistle, Cynara, Dandelion, Boldo and Peppermint, all of which help with liver function and digestion.
Milk Thistle works by protecting the liver from damage, and encouraging the production of new liver cells to replace old or damaged ones. However, Alfred Vogel combined Milk Thistle with Dandelion and Cynara to have a far greater effect on liver function, cleansing and nourishing the liver and facilitating its metabolism of fats. The combination is excellent for improving liver function without causing unpleasant detox reactions.
Cleansing the liver not only improves bowel and skin function, but also increases energy levels and general well being. An efficient liver that is processing fats more effectively will assist with weight loss and brain function, therefore, you can see why many people reach for the Milk Thistle Complex tincture or tincture tablets. As a special party season offer, we are offering 20% off all A Vogel Milk Thistle and providing a free sachet of Molkosan Vitality whilst stocks last.

POPULAR WINTER REMEDIES
At this time of year we often see a vast increase in the amount of colds and respiratory infections around and are often asked about natural remedies.
Herbs are especially helpful for those with an infection. Echinacea has become the mainstay of natural relief from general symptoms, because of the vast weight of positive research supporting it. Several other herbs can be combined with Echinacea to offer more effective relief of specific symptoms, or boost aspects of the immune system that Echinacea does not affect. Some of the most complimentary herbs to Echinacea are Plantain, Elderberry and Garlic.
Plantain has a whole host of benefits, including antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, anti-catarrhal, local anti-inflammatory, expectorant and demulcent actions. Many of these make plantain a specific herb for those with a bad ‘head cold’, easing congestion and discomfort of the membranes of the ear, nose and throat.
Elderberries stimulate the immune system and have anti-catarrhal and local anti-inflammatory actions, making it especially good for heavier colds and flu that involve deafness and sinusitis.
Garlic has antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties that make it a perfect remedy for treating a wide variety of infectious conditions. Garlic is effective in killing many of the infectious bacteria that no longer respond to antibiotics by stopping them from multiplying. Most of the sulphur compounds garlic contains will kill a variety of viruses, including parainfluenza type 3, human rhinovirus type 2 and influenza B, according to research. We have a great Natures Aid Echinacea Complex remedy which incorporates all these herbs. £7.99 for 60 capsules. See http://www.naturalhealthwelwyn.co.uk/store/product/40972/Natures-Aid-Echinacea-Complex-60-caps/
HELP FOR CHILDREN’S EAR INFECTIONS
Ear infections are more common in children because their eustachian tubes are shorter, narrower, and more horizontal than in adults, making the movement of air and fluid difficult. Bacteria can become trapped when the tissue of the eustachian tube becomes swollen from colds or allergies. Bacteria trapped in the eustachian tube may produce an ear infection that pushes on the eardrum causing it to become red, swollen, and sore. With Nature’s Plus inner Ear Support, parents can enlist the help of billions of live probiotic cells to maximize inner ear health which is reinforced with the cooling, calming, soothing activity of chamomile and mullein extracts.

KEEP CALM THIS CHRISTMAS -NATURALLY
Christmas is coming up fast! As it gets closer we all seem to become more frantic and frazzled. But there are two simple ways of keeping calm.
Tissue Salts
Kali Phos is a natural tranquilizer. It is a natural way to calm irritable tempers and banish worries and anxieties. This wonderful Tissue Salt will also quell over the over excitement of children. Take 4 pills directly on the tongue, after food if possible, 4 to 6 times a day. Combine this Salt with Mag Phos which is the ‘relaxing’ salt. It will help to relieve all the tension you hold in your shoulders and neck. Take this salt the same as Kali Phos: 4 to 6 times a day. Also, ½ an hour before bed; put 10 pills of Mag Phos into ½ cup of warm/hot water and sip while still warm. You will have a very good night’s sleep.
Bach Flower Remedies
Oh dear, don’t we all get irritable as Christmas draws closer? Recover Remedy (4 drops) is renowned for its almost instantaneous good work. However the remedy we often need the most from this combination is Impatiens, (2 drops). This is used for irritability and sudden outbursts of anger. Agrimony (2 drops) is another remedy that you might need at this difficult financial time. Some people keep their anxieties hidden behind a brave face, pushing them down into their stomach, where they churn away. Agrimony will help in this situation. Do you wake at 3am with your mind whirling and are unable to get back to sleep? White Chestnut (2 drops) will stop your over active mind, allowing you to get back to sleep again.
There are several ways to take Bach Flower Remedies: firstly, directly on the tongue. Secondly, put the drops into a glass of water and sip frequently. This way you can take the remedy as often as you require it. Or you can make up a treatment bottle. Ask the staff to help you with these choices.
Rose Todd, Homeopath, will be holding a seminar at Natural Health in Hertford on Everyday Living on 12 January between 10 and 12 am: She will be talking about the Tissue Salts and Bach Flower remedies and how they can help you keep to your new year's resolution. Whether your resolution was to loose weight or to start your own business, these are wonderful, self help tools will help you keep control of your life. Please call 01992 550101 to book your place. You can contact her directly on rose@rosetodd.com or www.rosetodd.com
PSORIASIS EASED FROM 90% TO 15% COVERAGE…
ANDREW PANES, an engineer from South Wales, had excruciating psoriasis on up to 90% of his body and his latest course of treatment was making him desperately ill. Three weeks later and his psoriasis has significantly improved thanks to a little-known herbal remedy.
Andrew, 40, explains:
“For the past eight years I’ve had psoriasis on up to 90% of my body; my face, arms, ears, back, chest – everywhere. It is an incredibly uncomfortable condition and very painful.
Washing can be quite difficult and at night times the itch is simply unbearable.
Over the past eight years I’ve tried many different steroids and creams, and UV light therapy, but nothing has worked long term. In fact my last course of treatment made me very ill. My dermatologist prescribed methotrexate, a drug ordinarily used in the treatment of cancer. It can help to slow the progression of psoriasis, but I suffered horrendous side effects and came off it.
Four weeks ago my sister read a newspaper article about Oregon Grape and how it might help with psoriasis. She mentioned it to my wife Sally-Anne, and Sally went to our local health shop to buy some. They recommended I try Oregon Grape Root capsules, which I did, and within a week I could see a marked improvement, it was quite incredible.
I’ve continued taking the capsules and each day my psoriasis has reduced further. Sally says it’s as if it has disappeared before her eyes, it’s happened that quickly.
I can’t begin to describe how pleased I am. Three weeks ago I had crippling psoriasis on approximately 90% of my body and now I’d put it at close to 15% with just a ‘map mark’ of where it used to be. Simply marvellous.”
Capsules and ointments of Oregon Grape are available. See http://www.naturalhealthwelwyn.co.uk/store/search/brand/Viridian/page7.html

DECISIONS, DECISIONS, DECISIONS –IS IT TOUGH FOR YOU?
Cheryl Massey MSc MSc MA BSc PGCE
Chartered Psychologist and Systemic Psychotherapist
There are times in our life when we feel decisions need to be made and these can appear enormous. We can be overwhelmed with these and begin to let such decisions take over our thinking time. As we begin to turn our focus on these areas we eventually of course become more anxious. Heightened anxiety in itself means that we can be even less effective in thinking clearly and making good decisions. So how can we begin to allow our thoughts to be rational and more helpful?

NUTRITIONAL ADVICE HELPS BOOST LADY’S IMMUNITY
Susan first came to see me after suffering from repeated colds and infections. She was worn out, had very little enthusiasm for life and had put on quite a bit of weight in recent months.
After taking a detailed case history I was suspicious that Susan’s thyroid might be slightly underactive. Although this can be checked by GPs the blood tests often fail to reveal milder cases of hypothyroidism so I recommended a urine test which is a more sensitive. The test did indeed indicate that Susan had a problem so I suggested a programme of supplements to support Susan’s thyroid and foods to boost her metabolism. The results were amazing. 4 months later Susan was feeling considerably stronger, had lots more energy and had lost quite a few pounds.
Here’s what Susan had to say……
I'm feeling really good. I've really noticed the energy levels improving and I feel a lot stronger in myself. I’m no longer going down with every bug going. Thank you so much!
