Stress Facts – did you know?

There’s no denying that we live in a stressful world. From daily time pressures, to the stress of a toxic environment, it can sometimes seem like we’re swimming in a pool of stress and gasping for air. Along with the more obvious stressors, emotional stress — stress from the stories of our lives — often goes unnoticed, and can sit at the root of many health issues.

The sad truth is that stress is probably the most significant contributor to disease — and it is the most difficult to treat. The World Health Organization estimates that by the year 2020, psychological and stress-related disorders will be the second leading cause of disabilities in the world. It’s fascinating to me that something which can be perceived in our minds can have that kind of effect on our physiology. But if we look at the science, it makes perfect sense. Stress — real or perceived, acute or chronic — affects your health. It changes hormonal pathways and the way neurotransmitters relay information. If these disruptions remain ongoing, there are serious implications for your body. The good news is, it’s never too late to do something about stress.

Please join us to learn some stress reduction techniques that can help you manage stress physically, emotionally and mentally. Learn how to support you body and mind nutritionally.

 

Stay tuned – we have 6 Dinner Classes planned for the New Year: Mark Your calendars NOW!

Video Picks of the Month – sorry it was too hard to choose one…..

1) A family’s bold battle to get medical authorities to use high does Vit. C to save their husband/father:

http://www.3news.co.nz/Default.aspx?TabId=371&articleID=171328&ce8233=1#comment

18 minutes from the Morgan Spurlock – director of “Super Size Me”. It is a little slow, but emphasizes all that we believe in about eating.  If you don’t have time to watch it; here is a point form summary:

Father did an 8 week detox diet of only natural, unprocessed food – went through         drug withdrawal symptoms, feels great now!

He researched why more people did not eat better: found out that Food processors       pay to have “Heart Smart” labels put on their food – nothing to do with health!

Medical system is paid to keep us sick and taking medications

Even eating raw some of the time is helpful

Eat the best that you can afford

2) To learn more about raw foods and how to reverse insulin dependant diabetes……

Success Stories

 

An 84 year old woman from Colorado has been battling leukemia with repeated chemotherapy since 2002. She received chemo for all but 2 years. The cancer shifted from Non Hodgkin to Mantle Cell, a more serious form, in March, 2010. After finishing more chemotherapy Mar- June, she was exhausted and was given a negative prognosis. She started on the Paw Paw program in July and CT scan in October showed complete remission! Within days of starting the Paw Paw, her energy levels increased dramatically!

 

Business

We are always looking for more people to train as herbal specialists. There is a great need for those who wish to earn and learn, while helping others.

Spiritual and Emotional

Whenever you feel stress speeding up your life,

  • take just 10 seconds to breathe in the light and love that surrounds us in this universe
  • breathe out what is no longer serving you.
  • give thanks to three things you treasure in your life at this moment.

 

Political Scene

Health Canada continues to ignore the public’s desire for safe supplementation. Parsley is being questioned in capsule form! Vitamin D3 is being limited to 1000 IU, even though there is daily research showing we should be taking upwards to 10,000 in cloudy winter climates! Bill C36 is still looming. Contact your MP to see how they are voting for this bill! Not much better in the States, or in Europe……

But at least we have Silver Guard back (used to be called Silver Shield). Do not be fooled by the ‘mouthwash’ label. It is the same incredible product!

I intend to always have a few large bottles in stock as our best family defence against all bacteria, viruses, fungus and molds!

 

 

Raising Healthy Children

 

Nature’s Sunshine has introduced a dynamic line of new children’s supplements – the Sunshine Heroes. State of the art science and nutritional has gone into making these one of the best available for your children. The line includes:

  • Multiple vitamins and minerals, containing a whole food blend of fruit and vegetable powders in a soft chewable.  (I must admit, I am using these as a sweet treat for myself – delicious!)
  • Whole Foods Papayazyme to help children break down all 3 food groups. This helps make up for enzyme loss in cooked foods.
  • Probiotic Power to maintain healthy colonic flora, which  improves immune response

 

NSP’s Liquid Herbs are especially suitable for children’s health: the liquids are quick and easy to assimilate:

Ultimate Echinacea, AL-J liquid for allergies and respiratory, Lobelia for coughs, asthma, teething, Catnip & Fennel for fever, HRP-C for flu,  CBG for ear infections, are just some of them.

Here to serve you…….

Safe Vaccine Alternatives

Take responsibility to create better health for you and all loved ones!

The first and most important thing to say about vaccination is you don’t have to do it.

The fact is it wouldn’t occur to a lot of us to even investigate vaccinations, particularly before we experience contraindications. More recently, however, there are more and more people taking responsibility for their health. You may find the following material conflicts with messages you have been given from the allopathic medical field. Statistics are often misrepresented by inaccurate reporting and recording; making it difficult to know the truth.

The intent of this information is to remind you that you are responsible for your own health. Secondly, it is to remind you that you are more of an expert on the subject of your self and your body than any other person or group of people – it is your decision as to what is best for you. The point is you have the right and the responsibility to determine your own action.

For those new to the concept that it is your decision whether or not to vaccinate, please be aware that The Exemption for Conscience was passed on December 14, 1984. Previous to this, mandatory vaccination was practiced in Canada. Although today it is no longer mandatory to have your children vaccinated, “social marketing” is the means of imposing vaccination. The selling of an idea to the point that it becomes your own idea, even if it goes against your conscience, is what social marketing is about.

 

All drugs, prescription or over the counter, have some toxic side effects. Herbs have thousands of years use as safe, natural and effective!  Herbs have been used since the birth of humankind and still stand the test of time.

 

For a Healthy Immune System:

Follow the Four Pillars of Health: Physical, Mental, Spiritual and Emotional. More detail on these are in Lorene Benoit’s book: The Paw Paw Program – A Natural Approach to Cancer , which also addresses healing most other chronic health conditions.

 

Physical:

Avoid sugar, food additives, chemicals, colourings, caffeine and junk food; they suppress immune function.

Keep the body clean (internally and externally). Cleanse spring and fall.

Eat a well-rounded diet of wholesome natural foods. Foods for the immune system are foods closest to their natural state: vegetables, fruits, some whole grains (sprouted), nuts and seeds.

Herbs are concentrated powerhouses of nutrition: vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and all the phytochemicals that scientists will never finish discovering.

Herbs promote optimum health when used on a daily basis according to your needs and the seasons. Quality herbs used properly are also safe remedies when you are sick.

Avoid using antibiotics and synthetic drugs, as they are toxic to humans. If you feel antibiotics are necessary, replace colonic bacteria with good quality probiotics.

Reduce meat, egg and processed grains. These foods contribute to mucous production. Change the last “a” in pasta to “e” and what do you get?  Paste!

Get regular moderate exercise.

Practice deep abdominal breathing.

Seek clean air and sun. Don’t smoke. Avoid inhaling second-hand smoke.

 

Mental, Spiritual and Emotional:

Maintain a positive mental attitude. Research has shown that a positive mental attitude and having goals, plans, dreams, hope and faith result in a stronger immune system.

Stress is a major cause of a suppressed immune system. Learn to reduce it where possible and where not, manage it effectively.

Develop loving relationships with other people that build up your self worth.

Cry and let go of a loved one; grieve, feel your feelings. Learn to express anger constructively and in safe ways. People who suppress their feelings may be prone to having a hiatal hernia, which leads to digestive system breakdown and overall health challenges.

Keep educating yourself and ask questions.

The above four aspects of our health cannot be separated,  if one hopes to achieve optimum health.

If you have already had vaccinations……..

or if after researching about immunizations, you still decide to use them, the following herbs and combinations can help counteract some of the negative effects. These formulations also help keep the immune system strong and healthy, thus providing a safe alternative to vaccines:

HRP-C (CA)  / VS-C (US) to kill viruses and remove toxins, especially from the liver. This can be used as successful treatment for ALL viruses, including herpes; as well as taken as a preventive during cold/flu season.

Heavy Metal Detox to cleanse blood of mercury, formaldehyde, and other toxins in vaccines. Supports the liver and provides essential minerals.

Cat’s Claw Combination with Astragalus and Echinacea to kill bacteria and infections; helps lymphatic drainage.

Golden Seal & Echinacea as Goldenseal can help the body kill Hepatitis B virus from the vaccine.

Oregon Grape as natural antibiotic and immune system strengthener. A specific for staph infections with special affinity for skin conditions.

Silver Guard has research to show it can kill over 600 strains of bacteria and viruses. Once in the blood, it can help prevent most infectious pathogens. Labelled as a mouthwash due to Health Canada absurdity, it is #1 for infection. By all means use it as a mouthwash to prevent tooth and gum infection, but then swallow it so it can continue promoting health throughout your body.

 

As links frequently change, you can contact author……..

for full ingredient lists on any above products, as well as hundreds of other professional, quality supplements. You can also find full ingredient lists on Benoit’s NSP website: TakeTheNaturalPath.myNSP.com

Choose your country in top right corner. Member #1143615.

Success Stories

“Thank you so much. I feel amazing today; the progress since I’ve seen you is incredible!  The combination of things you gave me is divine, they must be angel picked.*  I’m inspired with making new food choices, life is great. Also appreciate all the information you emailed, and the time you spent with me and my husband.”

Thanks, DP, BC

*Products used were: Noni (Morinda), Lobelia, Slippery Elm and Vit. E, (via Compass Assessment and CRA) along with lifestyle recommendations of dietary change, exercise and emotional clearing to deal with healing crisis.)

“I have used Super Oil for the last two years and what a difference it has made for my dry skin. Plus my joints seem way more supple!” JG, Ontario

In our office we use Super Oil for energy, arthritic and inflammatory conditions, hormonal balancing, weight loss, skin & hair health, nerves and MS. That covers a lot of things! Super Oil is that – a super combination of Salmon Oil, Flax, Evening Primrose, with lemon oil and Vit. E for preservatives and flavoring. Yet another reason why NSP Super Oil is an excellent product for just about everybody! Stock # 8235-8 in Canada.

Political Scene

Bill C-36, which is again trying to “protect us” from Natural Health products is in House reading. PLEASE contact your MP to get their stance on this and make your views known.

I am aware of 2 cases, too close to home for comfort, in the last couple of months.

1.  An ND in Alberta, Eldon Haas, had his home searched while he and wife were held at gun point for most of the day. Folic Acid was confiscated.

2. Marigold, a natural pharmacy in Courtenay, BC, was searched with the assistance of 2 armed RCMP, $146,000 of natural products confiscated, and pharmacy closed down.

These are only 2 incidents of which I know; many more have surely happened, and yes, folks, this is IN Canada. I have spoken to both of these people to verify this, and unfortunately , both are true!

Bill C-36 can only make things worse for those who are willing to help themselves to better health. Big Pharma is threatened by potential decrease in sales, and Canadians are selling their souls for the sake of the “global economy”, if they don’t speak up.

Make yourself aware to prepare for the upcoming “get your flu shot”  propaganda:

Canadians To Be Vaccinated With Live H1N1 Virus with MSG For The 2010/11 Flu Season
http://preventdisease.com/news/10/092310_toxic_flumist_vaccine.shtml
The Public Health Agency of Canada has once again given their seal of approval for the injection of a dangerous cocktail of toxic chemicals they call a trivalent vaccine. The 2010/11 recipients of AstraZeneca’s FLUMIST will be exposed to several strains of live viruses including H1N1 and H3N2. The vaccine also contains MSG and other known neurotoxins and immunotoxins.

Stay tuned for Duncan Vaccine Class, November 3rd.

Business

We are always looking for more people to train as herbal specialists. There is a great need for those who wish to earn and learn, while helping others.

Spiritual and Emotional

Saint Augustine defined the grace of love as Volo ut sis—I want you to be. There is, he wrote, an affirmation of the mystery of the other in relationships based on love, an affirmation of unexplained and unfathomable differences. Relationships based on love recognize that others have a right to be. These relationships accept the sacredness of difference. This acceptance means that no one individual or belief system captures or espouses an absolute truth. All struggle, in their own way, some outside of religious systems and some within them, to interpret mystery and transcendence.

Raising Healthy Children:

The job of the infant and toddler is to move, touch and connect with other humans. Restrained by bucket seats, strollers and backpacks, infants aged 0-2 years old watch an average 2.2 hours per day of TV, and 25% have TV’s in their bedrooms. Toddlers age 3-5 years use 4.5 hours per day of combined technology. This technology overuse is resulting in delays in achieving developmental milestones needed for school entry. One third of children who enter school will be categorized as “developmentally vulnerable” and go on to fail their grade 4

Ginkgo biloba: Benefits to brain, stroke prevention and treatment and other CV challenges

The herb Ginkgo biloba has a long history as the ultimate brain and memory booster. In China it is considered the Tree of Longevity, some trees living to more than 1000 years old. Significant research has shown it can also protect you from brain damage after a stroke, as well as aiding in prevention of all cardiovascular challenges.

The American Stroke Association says strokes can occur when a clot blocks or bursts a blood vessel to the brain. This damage prevents your brain from getting the blood and oxygen it needs. When your brain is starved of life-giving oxygen, it could lead to seizures, vision problems, memory and speech loss, or paralysis.

According to research completed at Johns Hopkins University there is evidence that Ginkgo biloba may neutralize cell-damaging free radicals.  A research team gave mice daily doses of Ginkgo biloba extract. The mice then had a laboratory-induced stroke. The researchers found these mice suffered about half the brain damage as animals not given the ginkgo.

They also found that mice that were give ginkgo five minutes after the induced stroke sustained nearly 60 percent less brain damage the day after the stroke than those not given ginkgo at all. And when mice received ginkgo 4 1/2 hours after a stroke—they still showed about a third less damage than those not given ginkgo!

“If further work confirms what we’ve seen, we could theoretically recommend a daily regimen of ginkgo to people at high risk of stroke as a preventive measure against brain damage,” said lead researcher Sylvain Dore, associate professor at the Johns Hopkins Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine.

Gingko has also been used to improve concentration and memory, Raynaud’s, and is an effective blood thinner for stroke prevention.

The Ginkgo biloba that I use is a time released concentrate, which is very potent and effective. Contact our office to learn how to order this potent Gingko Biloba.

Omega Oils: Why Do You Need Them ?

WHY HAVE OMEGAS aka FISH OILS IN YOUR DIET?

FISH OIL MAY HELP RELIEVE STUBBORN DEPRESSION

Daily supplements of  omega-3 fatty acid–found in fish and fish oil–may help alleviate the symptoms of depression in patients who do not respond to standard antidepressant medications, new research findings suggest.

Studies done in England  found that depressed patients who received a daily dose of 1000 mg of an omega-3 fatty acid for 12 weeks experienced a decrease in their
symptoms, such as sadness, anxiety and sleeping problems.

All of the patients had tried other medications before enrolling in the
study, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
such as Prozac and tricyclic antidepressants., both considered standard
treatments for depression.

This is not the first study to suggest that omega-3 fatty acids, such as the
form of eicosapenaenoic acid (EPA) used in this study, may help patients
with psychiatric disorders. Previous researchers have suggested that the
balance of omega-3 fatty acids in the brain may become skewed in people with
depression, and earlier studies have shown that fish oil supplements can
help alleviate the symptoms of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, or manic
depression.

People who are depressed, as well as those diagnosed with cardiovascular diseases have relatively low levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their blood.

Balancing Omega 3and 6 EFAs requires a little education on essential fatty acids.
Your most important fatty acids are your omega-3s and your omega-
6s. The body requires a proper balance of omega-3 and omega-6
essential fatty acids. Flax seed oil contains a balance of these
two essential fatty acids. Most vegetable oils only contain omega-6 oils.
Ingesting too much omega-6 with too little omega-3 creates a
tendency towards inflammation, high blood pressure and other
imbalances.

Most North Americans ingest too much omega-6 and get very
little omega-3. Taking flax seed oil won’t counterbalance this. Most
people need  extra omega-3 to balance the vegetable oils in their diet. The only  reliable sources of omega-3 are wild game, and wild deep ocean fish such as salmon – farm raised does not cut it!

So, fish oil supplements will give you the extra omega-3 your body needs. In a nutshell, these are some of the basic functions of Omega 3’s and 6’s.

Main Functions of Omega 3EFAs:

  • Cell structure and function (central nervous system, brain, eyes & retinal function)
  • Ratio and disposition of blood cholesterol & triglycerides
  • Blood chemistry & clotting mechanism
  • Inflammatory response of the immune system

(More men than women have an O-3 deficiency.  Key symptoms include acne, low sperm count & other testicle problems, dangerous behavior)

Main Functions of Omega 6 EFAs:

  • Cell structure & function (cellular membrane fluidity, flexibility, metabolic function)
  • Dermal fluid permeability and kidney function
  • Endocrine balance (metabolism, immune function, reproduction)
  • Circulation

Contact Benoit Health Education to get omega’s that are tested for purity and strength. We work with Flax Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Super Omega 3’s and a combination oil called Super Oil. We can help you figure out the best one for your needs.

Success Stories

Weight Loss and Energy:

People are loving the NEW! Solstic Slim – enhanced weight loss with Grape, Yerba Mate, Green Tea & Damiana with natural Huckleberry flavour.

Both Solstics come in a box of 30 for $30 retail – members cost less – and each stick is good for 500 mls (2 cups).

Energy, tremors, diabetes:

I felt so exhausted all summer with no energy, no appetite, & bad tremors, it was quite scary.  All the medical tests I had done came back normal, including those ordered by the 3 specialists I was sent to.  On my own I finally decided to start taking adrenal support capsules & zambroza as I have been on thyroid medication since I was 9 years old & I have been a type 1 diabetic for 22 years and both those conditions are related to the adrenal gland.  I am very happy to report that I started feeling better and could function again within 3 or 4 days of taking the adrenal support capsules & zambroza and it was wonderful and such a relief.  Obviously those capsules are another excellent product as they sure helped me.

Sincerely,

R C

Healthy Baby
Well it was a great pleasure producing such a healthy baby and being asked why I didn’t have stretch marks, why my varicose veins were nearly gone etc. I attribute that to good nutrition and the NSP supplements I have been taking for years.

Here is the list, some of which I would like to now continue to stay healthy with the new babe:

HSN (Hair Skin & Nails)
Marshmallow pepsin
Cal Mag  & D
Super-vits and min
Green Zone
Liquid Chi mineral Chi Tonic
Liquid chlorophyll

I have been drinking a cup of nettle and raspberry leaf tea everyday.  I was having mild signs of pre-eclampsia and my midwife here in Kelowna had me drink lemon water and nettle tea everyday.  Within about a week things started to settle down.  Too cool.  I also started having trouble with clotting.  I would get a simple blood test done and I would bleed and bleed and bleed.  I am hoping that the nettle tea will help with that since it has Vit K, is that right?  So, I will get the 5W (a US product available through Benoit Health) and then I will take the bottle to Jane.  My pregnancy hasn’t exactly been smooth so I am cautious. I just want to do what is best for baby and me. I started having contractions at about 22 weeks.  But I am now 31 weeks!  Yipee!!!  We will stay connected and I hope you are well.

Take care, Elana

Political Scene

Good time to contact your local MP about opposing Bill C-36, especially if they are Liberal, and likely to vote in favour of this bill that harbours possible devasting effects on our rights to choice in health care. Natural supplements are already over regulated, even though their history of safety far surpasses that of drugs.

http://vimeo.com/13024940

20 minutes, but the first 10 mins. tells all. IF you watch the last portion, about a natural supplement offering help for bipolar, contact me if you would like more info on how NSP’s Super Vitamins and Minerals in high dosages (like 6 per day) can turn a person’s emotional state around.

Removing natural products would harm millions of people

It is difficult to understand how Canadians would be served by subjecting NHPs to consumer protection legislation which is not structured to regulate health products.

NHPs are not being driven off of the market by Health Canada for safety concerns. As far as I am aware, there has never been a documented death caused by a natural health product in our 143 years as a country. This does not mean that NHPs do not carry a risk. Risk is, however, relative. We know for example that nuts and shellfish cause a number of deaths and hospitalizations each year. It is a statistical fact that NHPs for which we cannot point to a single documented death in all of our history, are safer than peanut butter and shrimp which cause a number of deaths each year.

If the government were really concerned for our safety, they should be petitioning the minister for stricter regulation of peanut butter rather than of NHPs.

Perhaps one of the more sobering opinions comes from Dr. Marcia Angell in her article, Drug Companies & Doctors: A Story of Corruption, where she writes: “It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.”

Anf rom ~Dr. Abram Hoffer MD PHD FRCP(C) : “For the past fifty years I have been demonstrating that the use of natural nutritional treatment is and must be the most effective form of medicine and that when it is not used and the profession depends soley on the use of toxic drugs the results are abysmal.”

Spiritual and Emotional Tips

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE with…an Attitude Free Zone
We all make a difference somewhere, somehow, every single day. The question is, “What kind of difference do we make?”

Making a difference is the lifeblood of one’s existence and therefore of any organization we work for or contribute to. Everything flows from it and is nourished by it …it’s an attitude.

To create alignment between yourself and an individual that is problematic for you, the very best place to begin is with Behavior Modification’s #1 Rule: Before you can change anyone else you must first change yourself. So, what do you need to change? Your attitude!

Before you can change anyone else…. you must first change yourself

You simply cannot have an attitude and keep it a secret! If you don’t like an individual, you will not be able to work with them harmoniously or successfully. Your attitude determines whether you are a divider or a unifier. You cannot create synergy from constant discord and fault finding. While you may have concrete evidence that “they” are the problem, without taking the initiative to connect with them from a non-adversarial position you are in fact participating in the problem. You are either contaminating or contributing to an outcome based on what you’ve decided about any given individual or situation.

If you want an immediate improvement, you must be willing change your attitude: fear, judgments, entitlement, prejudices and condescending labels. In doing this you change your attitudinal energy for the better and this will positively impact and heal unproductive behaviors, seeing better and faster results than you could have imagined.

Change your attitude, and you shift the resistant energy between you and another quickly and in an easy, relaxed manner. The “energy” of your attitude is — and always will be – the key factor to the success of your interpersonal experiences.

How do you get to alignment? Get really honest with yourself, “What have I really decided about this person?” After you see how you’ve labeled them, simply decide to pull that attitude of yours back in to your own energy zone. Suspend judgment and you literally make an energetic safe space: an Attitude Free Zone – or AFZ as I like to call it – in an instant. When you do this, you are changing yourself and will powerfully and energetically influence what is happening between you and others involved in a productive direction.

If you don’t like something, change it.
If you can’t change it, change your attitude.

– Maya Angelou     Section 5: pg 82

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”    Max Planck, father of the quantum physics

Restless Leg Syndrome


WHAT IS IT? Restless Leg Syndrome, or RLS, can affect up to 20% of the population. It is also known as Kborn’s syndrome. It usually begins shortly after one goes to bed and can involve sensations including itching  or crawling skin, pins and needles, cramping, jerking, or thrashing. Obviously it affects one’s ability to attain a restful night’s sleep with adequate REM time. (Rapid Eye Movement).  Unlike leg cramps, RLS is not usually stopped by gentle stretching or massaging.

RECOMMENDATIONS: As with all health challenges, the Four Pillars of Health need to be considered. These are covered in Chapter 6 of  Lorene Benoit’s book: The Paw Paw Program – The “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally. These are critical to optimum health and prevention of all chronic conditions and diseases !

 

1. Nutrition

Follow Healthy Diet, ensuring that enough alkalinizing, vitamin rich vegetables are being consumed daily. Avoid nutrient-depleting foods, such as all sugars or all processed foods. These create an acid environment, which can cause widespread health conditions.    Positive life-long dietary changes can promote ongoing health and build the immune system. Look at broadening your healthy food choices, by adding new vegetables you have not tried before. If one is not consuming adequate vegetables, consider adding 1-3 tsp. Of GreenZone into your diet.

2. Exercise

Choose a form of exercise that suits your lifestyle, your interests and level of health, then  stick with it. Relaxing exercise such as yoga is excellent with RLS. This or any other form of gentle stretching and relaxation in the evening may help.

3. Emotional

Think positively as you begin taking the steps to improve your own health and you will reap the benefits. Practice mental relaxation or read meditative content before bed.

4. Supplementation

Herbs are nutrient–dense powerhouses which provide support to all body systems.

SUPPLEMENTS OF CHOICE :

  • HVP: This herbal combination of Hops, Valerian and Passion Flower provides nutrition to relax muscles and improve sleep. 2 – 4  during the day (depending on how much stress is in your life) and 2-3 before bedtime, with a warm cup of relaxing tea. HVP is particularly beneficial to individuals who awake repeatedly during the night due to nervous tension or an overactive mind.
  • Calc-Mag & D: a balanced formula in a herbal base that ensures absorption of these essential minerals.  1 with each meal and 1-2 at bedtime until symptoms decrease, then  gradually decrease.
  • Magnesium: additional Magnesium can make a world of difference. Besides being essential for many metabolic processes, Magnesium promotes muscle relaxation. Take 2 – 6 NSP capsules per day (at least 2 of those with evening Cal Mag) until improvement is evident. Once saturation is achieved, one will need less.
  • Melatonin: 1 capsule before bed helps many people sleep more soundly. Besides aiding sleep, this hormone also plays a vital role in aging and energy. As people age, they produce less melatonin. This formula contains Gingko extract for circulation, Siberian Ginseng to help reduce stress and aging effects, (an adaptogenic) and 30 IU Vit. E.

All the above supplements and more are listed alphabetically and easy to locate for more information and prices.

 

Other Considerations and Aids:

  • Warm bath with Epsom salts with 6-10 drops of therapeutic grade Lavender Oil can help relaxation.
  • Decrease or eliminate any caffeine beverages, such as caffeine, black tea or colas. Absolutely none after 4 pm. Replace with Rooibos, Chamomile or other relaxing herbal – caffeine free tea.
  • Smoking decreases blood flow to large muscles and is absolutely contraindicated.
  • If no improvement is noted, have a complete physical to rule out other conditions, such as thyroid, kidney, diabetes. Check blood iron levels – ferritin to ensure this is within range. If low, take I-X, a herbal iron formula, until within normal range.
  • If condition has existed for sometime, be patient with your body’s ability to heal.
