When our medical system seems like a comedy of errors…

Posted on: March 16th, 2017

CARMEL'S STORY began when she tripped over the garden hose and landed on her hand. Carmel had been filling up the water trough for her very much loved alpaca's and miniature donkeys when she came a cropper. Thinking that not much damage was done she just kept applying BE RELIEVED. A couple of weeks later she decided to go to the doctor and have an x-ray as it was still a little tender, but not swollen. When the doctor advised that it wasn't broken she just assumed that it would take time to heal. Another couple of weeks passed and as it was still painful Carmel went back to the medical...

Can’t live without your chips?

Posted on: February 1st, 2017

Do you love your chips but worry that they are too unhealthy? There are some things you can do to make them a better choice. Your body's cells and tissues require a slightly alkaline environment to function properly. If you are too acidic this sets the stage for numerous conditions and diseases, including cancer, chronic fatigue and inflammation. If your body is acidic for a longer period of time the aging process will be rapidly accelerated. Your body must buffer and remove the acidic residues to maintain homeostasis. A diet high in acid-forming foods such as sugar, drinks and beverages...

Adaptogens

Posted on: February 1st, 2017

Adaptogens are natural substances found in some plants and herbs that shield the body against the impact of stress – by balancing and harmonizing the body systems. They provide benefits which are impossible to get in any other way. They are completely unique in nature. Essential oils work differently as they contain constituents that are both calming and stimulating.  In fact researchers have found that, depending on the state of the individual, essential oils can be either stimulating or calming.  They seem to “know” what is required of them.  So an anxious person will find they...

Did you know that most of our visits to the doctor are either caused or related to stress?

Posted on: February 1st, 2017

As much of 90% of doctor visits are either caused or related to stress. Can you imagine the great cost to our health system this causes each and every year?   Stress has been linked to numerous illnesses and causes of death, including heart disease, cancer and suicide. Imagine if we could deal with this by ourselves in a natural way.  The stress response is the body’s way of dealing with a perceived threat. The problem starts when the threat never leaves. And this is the kind of stress that modern society is attempting to deal with all of the time. Typically doctors have suggested...

Pain

Posted on: July 6th, 2016

During labour some women feel little pain whilst others find the pain extremely distressing.  A study published in PubMed has found the following: Immersion in water, relaxation, acupuncture and massage all gave pain relief and better satisfaction with pain relief. Both relaxation and acupuncture decreased the use of forceps and ventouse, with acupuncture also decreasing the number of caesarean sections. Drug interventions: Inhaled nitrous oxide and oxygen (Entonox®) relieved pain, but some women felt drowsy, nauseous or were sick.  Non‐opioid drugs (e.g. sedatives) relieved pain...

How essential oils help with the flu

Posted on: June 14th, 2016

As our days of sunshine become less and we start to feel a little colder we realise that winter is really setting in. We naturally feel like slowing down and taking it a little easier and some people would happily hibernate for the entire winter if they had the opportunity! Feeling tired can be a normal reaction at this time of the year but if you are feeling especially fatigued your body might be preparing you for a battle with the flu. Only about 20 percent of all influenza-like illness that occurs every year is actually associated with influenza viruses because many types of...

We just love hearing about your animal stories

Posted on: March 10th, 2016

Dear Cheryl, I have been using your BE Relieved & BE Sport now for approx 12 years after a car accident I had back in 2001 that left me in a lot of pain. I use it these days for my chronic arthritis pain, it is honestly the only thing that gives me any relief so believe me when I tell you I can NOT live without either of these oils. I have to tell you I have recently been using Be Calm on my dogs during thunder storms, my dogs are absolutely terrified of the thunder (like most dogs) and  my older dog Rebel who is now 10 years old would get so scared at times I thought he was going to...

What we need to know about cellulite

Posted on: December 14th, 2015

The greatest lamented skin condition amongst women today is cellulite.  These unsightly lumps and bumps are generally located in the upper arms, thighs, hips, buttocks, inner knees and weight-bearing areas, giving an uneven and lumpy appearance.  Cellulite is not necessarily related to obesity and very often appears on slim women.  Cellulite is not just “fat”.  When toxins and metabolic wastes are stored in connective tissue, a water retention “pouch” is created around the adipose cells to protect them against the toxins.  The surrounding connective tissue is compressed and...
