Prescription for Natural Cures

I was introduced to the Neti pot (sanskrit for ‘Nasal Pot) about 2 years ago.  It looks like a little tea pot and most are ceramic.  Using a Neti Pot is a traditional method to purify and revitalize the breathing passages.  This process can reduce allergies and decrease your chances of contracting upper respiratory infections.  [...]

I stopped by my favorite health food store this morning for one of their incredible smoothies.  As always, I left with more than a smoothie! Over a half hour later, I departed with more incredible natural health knowledge!  One of the remedies I learned about today is “Oil Pulling”.  The owner of the store has [...]

Thanks to my preventive health doctor, a few months ago I started supplementing with Vitamin D3.  I take it at night with my melatonin and calcium/magnesium.  My doctor says Vitamin D3 and melatonin are 2 hormones (yes, Vitamin D is a hormone!) which we should all be taking.

Acupuncture (it works [...]

A few months ago I received another great tip from Jane, my Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor.   This time she recommended Cramp Bark for – well – surprise surprise, cramps!  I had never heard of it but off I went to buy this ‘so called’ Cramp Bark. Once again, I was not disappointed!  Jane’s advice was [...]

My physiotherapist (& now my new friend!) lent me a fantastic book called Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. I am always talking about new and innovative health ideas and she thought that I’d like the info in this book. Well – she was right!! WOW! This book is just incredible.
