Thyroid Health

 

There is a big week coming up next week.

If you are interested if feeling more energetic, less fatigued, there is a possibility that you may have thyroid problems. 

Many people who know they have thyroid problems need more help to feel better.
Many people do not know they have thyroid problems. Could you be one of them? Do you feel worn out and tired most of the time? Do you have difficulty losing weight? Do you suffer from depression? It might be your Thyroid.

He is now collaborating with many other professionals to help us learn more about our thyroid gland. He is one of the many speakers who will give their time to help people around the world.

Each talk is available only for 24 hours. So register today to gain this free information. If you cannot see all of the talks, they will be available for purchase. 
 
See you there next week.

Salt Toothpaste

 

Make your own Tooth Cleaners from Natural Ingredients

You can use just the powder of Bi-carbonate of Soda to clean your teeth. Bi-carbonate of soda is good for getting rid of smells, cleaning and refreshing. Dip your damp toothbrush in bi-carb and scrub your teeth with it.

Salt can be used the same way. Use table salt or sea salt. The salt can also be mixed with bi-carb soda to clean and refresh your teeth. Xylitol is a natural sweetener made from corn or birch trees. It has been proven to be beneficial to getting rid of bacteria in the mouth. Xylitol is found in many chewing gums to rid the bacteria from the mouth and prevent cavities. Xylitol can be mixed with the salt and/or bi-carbonate of soda to make a better tasting cleanser for your mouth and teeth.

7 Questions about Flower Essences

 

Roses are very powerful healers

What are Flower Essences?

Flower Essences are a a gentle form of healing that ease our emotions and give us emotional strength.

Are Flower Essences the same as Essential Oils?

Flower Essences are not the same as Essentials oils. Essential Oils is another name for Aromatherapy oils. Aromatherapy oils or Essential oils are made from the inner liquid or oils of the plant.

How are Flower Essences made?

Flower essences are made by transferring the energy of the flower into pure water. 

Fact - Every thing on this earth, including our bodies, vibrates at different rates - Physics.
Fact - Each type of flower vibrates at its own rate.
Fact - people with similar emotions tend to be drawn to each other.
Fact - water holds energy.
 
In making Flower essences we make use of water to hold energy. We can then transfer it to ourselves in our time of necessity.

How do Flower essences help us?

Flower essences can help us ease our emotions and strengthen us in our times of trouble.

How do we know which Flower Essence to take?

There are many different ways that we can know instinctively which flower essence to take.
Are you attracted to the name of the essence?
Do you like the colour of the flower that the essence is made from.
Do you like the shape of the flower  of the essence?
If the flower has a perfume, do you like the perfume of the flower?

Do you only take an Essence you are attracted to?

Sometimes we really dislike a flower or bush while someone else will like it.
Sometimes it is beneficial to take the essence of a flower we do not like. It might be addressing a deep fear or emotion. These emotions run very deep and will take more time to ease.

How do I take Flower Essences?

Flower Essences are easy to take. As you know they come in water in a bottle. This bottle is a dropper bottle. There is usually some form of alcohol in the bottle as a preservative. Take 2 to 7 drops as directed on the bottle. This liquid is placed under the tongue in a clean mouth. This means that you have not had any food or coffee/strong flavour drink for about twenty minutes before or after the drops for optimal absorption.

Flower essences are sometimes taken 3 or four times a day, depending on need.
Alternatively, the drops can be placed in water and sipped as needed.

Anxiety Runs in Families

 

Lavender is a calming flower to have around you

Do you suffer from Anxiety?

  ‘Researchers are learning that anxiety disorders run in families, and that they have a biological basis, much like allergies or diabetes and other disorders. Anxiety disorders may develop from a complex set of risk factors, including genetics, brain chemistry, personality,  and life events.’  from the Anxiety and Depression Association  of America.

Yes, it is understandable that anxiety should run in families. We only  have to look around us at the people we know to realise that many things run in families. We learn to be who we are by the influence of our family. We eat the  same food as the people in our family. We have the same genes as the people in  our family.

All these things can and do affect us. We learn to cope in the same way as the people in our family. When we become adults we change who we mix with, have our own friends and are influenced by the people we mix with at work. We can even change our diet. Even if we are no longer mixing directly with our family we carry them with us for the rest of our life in the genes in our body.

We can influence how we feel by the way we think, the food we eat and the company we keep.

Natural ways to ease  Anxiety

The gentle energy of Flower Essences  can also help us with the way we feel. They affect our aura, our energy system.
Dr Edward Bach was a medical doctor and specialist in London in the 1930s. He discovered the benefits of the energy of plants and how they can also affect the  way we think and feel.

Coming with a long history, herbs can also influence the way we think and feel. Sometimes we need a little help to cope with the events  in our life. Herbs are a gentle, safe, tried and true way we can turn for our  health.

Tell us some natural remedies you have used for anxiety. This way we can help each other.
