Acne Herbal Formula 500ml

movens — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 08:28:38 +0000

Acne is a common disorder of the oil glands in the skin characterised by the recurring formation of blackheads, white heads and pimples. It is a process where they body is trying to eliminate toxins through the skin. Quite often, our skin is referred to as our third kidney. If the kidneys can’t flush toxins effectively, they pass them on to the liver which in turn becomes over burdened, and passes the toxins out through the skin. Healing must come from within first. No amount of lotions, potions or creams will permenantly “fix the problem” alone.

Blood cleansing through the lymphatic system and liver are extremely valuable.

Drinking water with a squeeze of lemon especially first thing in the morning is highly beneficial. This will assist the liver to detoxify any toxins while kick starting the digestion. Exercise such as walking or swimming are excellent to stimulate the lymphatic system to work more efficiently. Daily dry skin brushing over the entire body is important to assist this Acne Cleansing Program. Starting with the extremities, work your way in gentle circular motions towards the trunk on the body. This can be done everyday to help the body slough off dead skin cells. Your skin will feel soft and silky in no time!

It is important to alkalise the body, as being alkaline puts the body under the least strain. Your digestion will work more efficiently, your liver, kidneys, lymph and blood will be less burdened by toxins and free radicals.

Psoriasis Herbal Formula 100ml

movens — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 08:28:38 +0000

Psoriasis is a common skin disease resulting in patches of raised red skin covered by slivery white scales that can develop almost anywhere on the body. The condition is casued by skin cells that divide too rapidly (up to 1000 times faster than normal skin cells) and these accumulate instead of shedding.

Science has not yet discovered exactly what causes psoriasis, though it has been associated with allergies and various dietary & metabolic factors.

In my Clinic, I have experienced many cases of psoriasis. The 2 most common factors have been: trauma to the effected area; whether it be from an injury or from emotional trauma just prior to an ‘outbreak’, or food allergies: in particular, to yeast containing foods.

Another factor very important to contributing to psoriasis is candida infections. Many people have an increased incidence of gut borne candida (this accounts for their intolerance to yeast and the resulting craving for yeast containing foods such as breads, cakes, biscuits etc).

Stress and tension greatly aggravate the condition. Regular exercise and relaxation are a must in treating psoriasis. My treatment program consists of internal and external treatments.

My Psoriasis Herbal Formula contains: cleavers, red clover, organic nettles, yellow dock, maritime pine bark, burdock, rosehips, St Mary’s Thistle, Blue flag and dandelion.

Weight Loss – Menopause Herbal Formula 500ml

movens — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 08:28:38 +0000

Some women sail through menopause without a worry, while others struggle through with hot flushes, night sweats, weight gain, mood swings etc.

Menopause commonly sees ladies gain weight that they just can’t budge. They find, the weight that they had maintained for years, just suddenly increases and for seemingly no apparent reason! Menopause triggers a shift in hormones, you being to crave sweets more than you used to – quite often without even realising. Much of the craving comes from a depletion of magnesium – the mineral that is responsible for growing bones. Magnesium should always be taken with Calcium as calcium hardens & strengthens the bones and new bone growth. Your calcium:magnesium supplement should be in a ratio of 2:1 (Ca:Mg). In order for the calcium:magnesium supplement to be properly assimilated, your body requires chelated zinc, manganese & silica supplements.

There are a few herbs to assist weight loss during menopause, and the herbs used in my Weight Loss – Menopause herbal formula contain nourishing and hormone balancing herbs, herbs to help recycle and remove old hormones and provide balanced energy. These include: chamomile, dandelion, chaste tree, dong quai, liquorice, black cohosh, organic nettles, oats, rosehips, wild yam and withania.

Dosage: 30 drops twice a day
