TEN COMMANDMENTS OF RETIREMENT

Ten Commandments of Retirement – continued

6.  Tomorrow must always be the most important day in your retirement calendar.

7.  Do not live in the past;  you have not retired from the world.

8. Do all things in moderation.

9.  Do things you never had time for.  Beware of the rocking chair.

10. Do not interefere with others.

TEN COMMANDMENTS OF RETIREMENT

A great deal of advice is handed out to people at the end of their working lives,
but I think these ‘Ten Commandments of Retirement’ take some beating.

1. View retirement as the beginning of a new life, not as the end of the road.
2. Keep physically fit and mentally alert. Set a daily routine (not too rigid)
and stick to it.
3. Maintain your customary neat appearance.
4. Try not to get under people’s feet, but be helpful and companionable.
5. Adjust to your new budget. Do not fight it or resent it; neither become a
miser.

SLIPPERY ELM POWDER

 

Slippery elm

This is THE most amazing healing powder.

It soothes inflammation along the whole of the digestive tract.  For mouth ulcers it is mixed with gum herbs and packed over ulcer and left to dissolve.

Slippery elm is a long lasting antacid barrier.  Once water is added to the powder it becomes like a gel coating any inflamed or ulcerated areas from mouth to anus.  It settles nausea/vomiting.  Taken before a journey ti can help prevent travel sickness.

Slippery elm is useful in cases of gastro-oesophegeal reflux.  Helps settle diarrhoea/diverticulosis, colitis, irritable bowel.

I add herbs to slippery elm powder to help draw out pus e.g. boils, breast abscess, leg ulcers, infected wounds.

Truly a magical herb!

Herbs can be obtained in capsule form.  Be sure to check that it is pure I.E.NO PACKERS.

Autumn

Autumn has arrived and presenting us with such magnificent colours.
As nature shuts down and slumbers we don’t!
To deal with the myriade of bugs around it is truly time to look after our own magnificent body
and help it deal with all that it is presented with.
Make pots of healthy soups.
Eat lots of fruit and vegetables.
Walk, exercise – breathe!!!!
Take 1 – 2 grams VITAMIN C daily.
Herbs are great for boosting your immune system and adrenal glands (over used when stressed)
I have a formula always made up both in liquid and capsule forms.
My “Pick me up” formula does what it says – helps energize all the
systems of the body.
Eat with loving thoughts.
Walk with peaceful thoughts.
Go to sleep with love and joy all around you

WINTER WELLNESS

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

 

Winter is upon us and it is time to add the lovely comforting warm clothes that are now so necessary with the chilling winds. It is as necessary to protect ourselves against the external cold as to boost our immune system to protect us from the viruses and bacteria that are starting to float around.
I am writing to share some tips for winter wellness.

HYDRATION
We drive around in centrally heated cars, work in centrally heated buildings and live in centrally heated homes. It is most important to drink water when it is cold to keep our body fluid levels correct. It also helps to flush out toxins, bacteria etc. Warm water is absorbed much more quickly and efficiently than cold water.

IMMUNE SYSTEM
There are lots of herbs which help to boost your immune system eg. Wild Indigo, Myrrh, Echinacea are a few examples. I have my own “Antibiotic/Immune Booster Formula” which contains at least 7 different herbs in either liquid or capsule form which can be taken as required.
(NB These are not pharmaceutical antibiotics)
As far as I am aware no one has had any untoward effects to date.

Wrap up warm, drink lots of hot water and make an appointment for a health balance to aid you through the winter months!

Be happy
