January 2009 Newsletter
I hope that the New Year finds you in good health and excellent spirits. Here at Natural Health, we are springing forward to the New Year with lots of exciting products and promotions to get 2009 off to a sparkling start. Due to popular demand we have free nutritional advice, a free talk and a free express facial day using Alva products. Please call in store or look at our web site at www.naturalhealthwelwyn.co.uk to see all we have on offer. During January we are offering free postage and packing on all items ordered via our web store.

I am now detoxing using the A Vogel detox box and getting into gear for the London and Edinburgh marathons. One thing I wouldn’t be without in my running kit is the new Profelan Arnica Extra which is starting to fly out of the shop, it smells lovely and works on any aches or pain really quickly. See attached newsletter or see http://www.naturalhealthwelwyn.co.uk/store/product/41578/Profelan-Arnica-Extra-100g/


PASSIFLORA, LEMON BALM AND AVENA SATIVA

The New Year brings with it the desire to make resolutions but after the stresses of the festive period can often leave us feeling anxious and tense. Help is at hand for those with that low, post-celebration feeling, in the form of the herbal complex Passiflora, Lemon Balm and Avena Sativa. Traditionally, Passiflora has been used to combat anxiety, alleviate tension and ease those low moods. Lemon Balm is predominantly a stomach remedy and can aid the absorption of gases as well as reducing spasms (helpful for those who feel like they have butterflies in their stomach). Avena Sativa complements the other ingredients in this complex due to its ability to relax smooth muscle (such as that found in the digestive system) and also acts as a mild sedative.
January is the most popular time of year for those trying to quit smoking and this complex would be ideal support for those people in this situation. See http://www.naturalhealthwelwyn.co.uk/store/product/37236/Natures-Aid-Passiflora%2C-Lemon-B-%26-Avena-60-tablets/


TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEETH FROM THE INSIDE!
Good nutrition makes a huge difference to the health of the gums and without good gums, you won’t hang on to your teeth. Oral Care Complex, from Viridian Nutrition, is specifically formulated to support the underlying health of the mouth and gums. It is a combination of Pycnogenol, Co-enzyme Q10 and Ester-C in a base of green tea. Studies indicate that these nutrients and extracts have anti-microbial activity, reduce symptoms of gingivitis, speed healing and address deficiencies which could interfere with the body’s ability to repair damaged gum tissue.

Viridian Oral Care Complex, £28.90 for 60 capsules, is suitable for vegans/vegetarians and is certified Kosher.

The Viridian Nutrition multi-award-winning range of 150 vitamins, minerals, herbs, tinctures, ointments, amino acids, specialty nutrients and nutritional oils was founded in 1999 and is available from Natural Health. See http://www.naturalhealthwelwyn.co.uk/store/product/41782/Viridian-Oral-Care-Complex-60-caps/


DETOX AND REVITALISE IN 2009!
Try the Vogel’s Detox Box – 10 day* Toxin Elimination Programme.
The reason that the Detox Box continues to be successful year after year is that it is designed to detox all the systems in the body, not just the kidneys or liver.
The Detox Box contains:
FRANGULA COMPLEX for bowel health
MILK THISTLE COMPLEX to cleanse the liver
SOLIDAGO COMPLEX to help maintain healthy kidneys and reduce fluid retention
CALENDULA COMPLEX to help remove toxins from the lymphatic system and the skin.
*The Detox Box has enough tincture for another 10 day detox which means that two people could share a Detox Box or you can keep the tinctures for a few months and detox again in the autumn. Just purchase another box of Frangula complex. During January we are offering 25% off. See http://www.naturalhealthwelwyn.co.uk/store/product/13177/A-Vogel-Detox-Box---Various/


ZULU COLD TREATMENT KALOBA AVAILABLE AT NATURAL HEALTH
A Zulu herbal medicine which has been used by tribes for centuries has been passed for sale in Britain as recently featured in the Daily Telegraph and Times.

Zulus have taken extracts from the geranium plant for hundreds of years to stop coughs and sneezes.
They say the extracts are particularly good at reducing the amount of phlegm.
Now Kaloba, a key ingredient from the flower, has been given the green light for sale in Britain as a medicine.
Kaloba is derived from a species of geranium called Pelargonium sidoides and comes in drop and tablet form.
The medicine has been available in Germany since 1983 but has only just been licensed by Britain's Medicines and Health Products Regulatory Agency.
Research by the Cochrane Review showed Kaloba to be "effective in resolving all symptoms including headaches and nasal discharge in adults when taken for an extended time period." See http://www.naturalhealthwelwyn.co.uk/store/search/brand/Kaloba/

NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS!!!
Alison Sheldrick, Nutritional Therapist

We have all made New Year resolutions but how often do they fizzle out by February, or even worse, never get started? If you have decided that you would like to lose weight, have more energy, feel well or generally improve your eating habits during 2009, why not consider a detoxification programme? Detoxification is the normal process the body uses to get rid of substances that are harmful to us and with Christmas out of the way, now is the ideal time.

The idea of detoxification has been oversold by the media and this has led to controversy and confusion. However, following a sensible and scientifically supported detoxification protocol can provide significant health benefits. To kick start your New Year health goal (whatever that might be) why not try my 21 day detoxification programme? Developed by a medical doctor it is a step by step supervised programme to ease you through the process of rejuvenating your body and includes recipes and additional support to help you achieve your specific goal(s). With all this extra help, failure is not an option.

If you would like to find out more, call Alison on 07790 745769 to see if a detoxification programme could improve your health.
