Sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose? Spring can be a mixed blessing

Sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose… Spring can be a mixed blessing











(PRWEB UK) 4 April 2014

This year, according to experts, the climate change could double the number of hay fever sufferers in the UK. It was also reported that this season will be particularly bad.

Warmer weather and longer days bring joy to most people but can be a really miserable time for hay fever sufferers. The symptoms can vary from sneezing, sore throat, swollen glands to runny nose and headaches.

It’s hard to believe that beautiful flowers and trees are the main culprits behind all these annoying symptoms. These symptoms can worsen with high pollution levels. Therefore, people living in big cities should be particularly careful.

Unfortunately, there is no miracle cure for hay fever and seasonal allergies. The most effective treatments include cutting all dairy products out of the diet. Napiers have put together a selection of teas and other natural herbal remedies to get hay fever sufferers through the warmer season, calm their dreaded symptoms and reduce their sensitivity to dust and pollen.

One of the most effective seasonal herbal remedies sold on Napiers’ website is Summertime Tea. It contains Chamomile, Nettle and Plantain herb and can be taken by children as well as adults. Summer Tea and other helpful herbal teas and supplements can be bought on: http://www.napiers.net/summer-supplements.html

Herbal remedies are an ideal option because herbal medicine has very few and rare side effects. Often, hay fever medication makes patients drowsy, sleepy and unable to drive. Natural remedies boost the body’s immune system and can even lead to a totally hay fever free season if started during March/April.

Napiers provide natural remedies, herbal medicines, herbal skincare, vitamins and supplements. All Napiers’ products are formulated carefully by professional herbalists and practitioners. Napiers was founded by Duncan Napier who opened the first clinic on 25 May 1860. Today, Napiers combines years of traditions and experience with a twist of modern practice.

Spring Is Coming: 14 Ways To Prevent Colds & Flu and Stay Healthy During Seasonal Change

Spring Is Coming: 14 Ways To Prevent Colds & Flu and Stay Healthy During Seasonal Change











Dr7Sky.com


West Harrison, NY (PRWEB) March 01, 2014

From time to time we’ll be confronted with early signs of the flu or colds despite our best efforts to live in robust health. But in many cases the onset of full blown symptoms can be prevented by giving the body what it needs to heal itself, and there are many natural, holistic and homeopathic alternatives to do so.

1. Medi-Body Bath and Soak

For immediate detoxification and restoration of your body’s electrolyte balance, you should initiate a foot-bath or hand-soak immediately after feeling the first signs of weakness and achiness using two wonderful products, the Medi-Body Bath and Medi-Body Soak. I would recommend having both products on hand as we enter the winter months. You simply mix 12 cups of hot water with one cup of Medi-Body Bath and one cup of Medi-Body Soak, and you should experience an immediate relief of your symptoms.

We use a simply Zyto scan to zero in on exactly what your body needs—you can come into my office for the Zyto scan or, if you’re located remotely, you can purchase a hand scanner and we can go through the same process over the phone with the Zyto hand scanner software running on your computer.

It’s important to nip things in the bud before sickness has a chance to take root in your body. Remember, untreated or suppressed flu symptoms can lead to pneumonia and suppression is precisely what happens when we take over-the-counter pharmaceuticals to cover up symptoms. You want to flush out the garbage—find a way to release the toxins from your body so you can get well again.

2. Vitamin D

The right amount of this super-nutrient is necessary and boost immunity if you want to prevent or mount a defense against colds and viral challenges to your body. Vitamin D pulls calcium from the intestines, inserting it into the blood stream to support immunity at a genetic level. Vitamin F then transports the calcium to the tissues, which glues the cells together to prevent virus penetration. Three things deplete calcium: stress, sugar and insufficient levels of Vitamin D. Low calcium levels triggers acidic PH levels in your body, which make it vulnerable to sickness.

3. Garlic

Germs melt like wax in the presence of garlic. There is simply no way for germs to live in the presence of the anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties found in this wonder-herb. Raw garlic has natural phyto-chemicals and natural broad-spectrum antibiotics to support your immune system and should be consumed daily. Store-bought tablets tend to be useless because garlic contains an active ingredient, Allicin, which kills bacteria, viruses and fungus, and must be consumed within an hour of breaking the garlic’s husk. Allicin has been shown to decrease total cholesterol levels while increasing levels of good HDL-cholesterol. If you don’t want to consume raw garlic do to the smell, which is understandable, Allicin caps are also available.

4. Homemade Soups & Broths

Your mother was right—homemade soups like chicken soup are good for you when you feel a cold coming on. Most homemade soups are loaded with Potassium, which calms the nervous system and makes it easier for your body to heal. Fresh horseradish and chopped white onions—both rich in Selenium & Allicidin—can also be added to soups or broths to very good effect.

5. Alkaline Foods (Fruits and Veggies)

A diet rich in alkaline foods such as fruits and vegetables is helpful to combat early onset symptoms of sickness. Fresh vegetable juices with plenty of greens are especially good, binding toxins and escorting them safely out of the body. I like to say: When you’re green inside, you’re clean inside. You’ve heard it said that five servings of fruits and vegetables are essential to your health? You’ve just heard it again.

6. Vitamin C

Taking 100 mg of Vitamin C every hour will bring down a fever. This essential nutrient improves our natural killer cells, which help fight off harmful invaders to the body. Vitamin C also brings down inflammation and functions as a powerful antioxidant, offering protection against infections.

7. Keep an Alkaline PH

Coral legend is a nutritional supplement made up of 100-percent-ionized calcium and magnesium, which can be readily and completely absorbed by your body. Coral Legend helps establish healthy PH levels, improves the immune function and reduces fevers, which quickly consume the body’s supply of calcium. One teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar can also be useful to support PH balance.

8. Homeopathic Remedies

Most of us who are aware of homeopathic remedies think of Oscillococcinum®, a homeopathic flu remedy that’s widely marketed and distributed in health food stores. But there is a range of homeopathic flu remedies and choices that target specific symptoms, from fever, coughs, chills and body aches, to nausea, pain, sniffles and sneezing. Again, a simple 15-minute Zyto session can help me ascertain what your body specifically needs. I’ve linked to another article on homeopathic flu solutions below. Remember, although you may be able to purchase low potency amounts at a health store, it’s always best to come in to find out which homeopathic solution is best for you. It’s better to get the exact potency you need from a trained homeopath like myself as certain homeopathic remedies may not be applicable to your particular case—low potencies sold over the counter won’t harm you, but may not help you either.

9. Botanicals

Specific spagyrically-processed herbal tinctures (administered by dropper) such as Core Olive Leaf, Core Cat’s Claw and Core Mycelia can be very helpful to avert sickness. These botanicals utilize the power of the entire plant to bring healing, offering prevention and natural protection against viruses and bacteria—great to have around during the winter months.

10. Nutritional Supplements

Nutritional supplements are a great way to support your body’s immune system. Nucleo-immune, Multi-immune, Coriolus, Allicidin, Xeno-Force and Vitamin C are popular nutritional supplements designed to knock out a flu or cold. Other helpful nutritional supplements include Selenium, which offers antioxidant support against infection, Vitamin B (Max-B), which supports white blood cells and metabolic function, and Zinc, which protects the body against viruses and bacteria while repairing damaged tissue.

11. Homeopathic Composite Remedies

Homeopathic composite remedies such as the Flu Tone, Viru-Chord, Vaccine-Chord and Throat Tone mouth sprays are go-to solution for flu symptoms. But Pneuma-Chord Core Myrrh, Core Sambuccus, Pneuma Ven and Sinus Tone are the preferred means of treating cough, lung-colds and sinus symptoms. It’s best to schedule a 30-minute Zyto session so I can ascertain your body’s specific requirements during flu season.

12. Raw Honey with Propolis

Unheated raw honey with propolis is the favored remedy for sore throats. Mix a tablespoon of honey with the squeezings of an entire organic lemon. Take one teaspoon of the mixture every 10 minutes, drizzle it down your throat to bathe and coat your raw throat. What’s more, the honey will kill the bacteria and the lemon is loaded with Vitamin C, which is great for your body when you’re sick. You may also want to stock up on propolis lozenges and another mouth spray, Throat Spray Tone, which prevents germs from entering your mouth or throat.

13. Gargle with Salt

You can gargle with Celtic sea salt or Hawaiian pink salt, adding several drops of the Core Myrrh to achieve excellent results for your sore throat and cold symptoms.

14. Sleep

It’s very important to get seven to eight hours of sleep—anything less doubles your chances of contracting a bacterial or viral infection when exposed to it. Also, getting at least two hours of sleep before midnight increases your energy levels the next day.

Growers Exchange Offers Three New Potted Herbs With 2011 Spring Herb Lineup

Growers Exchange Offers Three New Potted Herbs With 2011 Spring Herb Lineup







Richmond, VA (PRWEB) January 13, 2011

Potted herbs have long been a staple of homes, businesses, and kitchens everywhere, and as spring approaches, many look forward to new herb selections as a way to help reinvigorate their own ideas. The Growers Exchange always has a great selection of herbs, but this spring, three fantastic choices grace the virtual aisles, all of which are destined to prove useful to a variety of different buyers.

“We really enjoy offering a creative herb selection other companies just don’t,” said Briscoe White, Owner and Grower, The Growers Exchange.com. “There are so many different choices out there that people ignore, and it’s as important to us to educate people about these choices as it is to let them know that we have them in stock every day.”

The continual need for a renewed selection of herb plants has long been the focus for The Growers Exchange. Each season, they not only introduce an amazing line with great new choices, but they also update their site to reflect the needs of buyers. By continually creating new content in their tips and advice section, blog, video and recipe categories, growers can find great new herb options as well as the information they need from growing help to the right usage for each herb.

“Herbs are a satisfying growing experience,” said Briscoe White, Owner and Grower, The Growers Exchange.com, “and that’s why we’re so excited to introduce our spring 2011 lineup with these three great additions.”

While the three new choices may seem exotic, they’re as easy to grow as any other herb you might purchase, especially with help from the team at The Growers Exchange.

Lemon Verbena Plant

Native to South America, Lemon Verbena grows up to fifteen inches high beside the highways in countries like Argentina and Chile. It has been a favorite throughout the country since the 1800s, and the clear lemon scent is ideal if you’re making tea. It’s also perfect in that great fish dish or as part of a marinade or salad dressing. Looking for a slightly different take? Try using the dried leaves in potpourri or making an infused oil with this wonderful choice.

“Lemon Verbena is one of our best sellers,” said Annie C., Head Grower, The Growers Exchange.com. “It smells luscious, and it’s easily the best of the lemon scented herbs.”

White Sage Plant

With more than 750 different varieties of sage worldwide, it can be tough to decide which one might work best for your needs. White Sage, though, is a hit among buyers at The Growers Exchange for two main reasons. First, it makes an amazing tea that is ideal at the end of a terrible day. In fact, many Native American cultures used it as a purifying herb. The stems are cut and dried in small bundles which are burned as a cleansing incense. Secondly, it adds great flavor to savory dishes.

“I love using White Sage in a number of different meat dishes,” said Julie S., Office Manager and part –time chef, The Growers Exchange.com. “It creates an unique flavor that’s impossible to achieve with other herbs.”

Eucalyptus Plants

A stunningly beautiful choice, Eucalyptus plants are often touted for their medicinal properties rather than their use in the kitchen. Grown as a small tree in zones 8 – 10, it’s both a gorgeous accent plant choice and a great green ornamental for a flower arrangement as well as the perfect herb.

“Eucalyptus is a staple of the essential oils market, but it’s a very versatile herb,” said Caroline U., Media and Marketing, The Growers Exchange.com. “I can’t think of a better addition to our spring lineup.”

Many use Eucalyptus in teas or in aromatherapy treatments. While it’s rare, some also use it in creative cooking projects for a flavor that’s hard to get from other herbs.

As you decide which herbs might be right for you this spring, consider these three distinct choices and The Growers Exchange.

The Growers Exchange is an online garden center specializing in herb plants. This ecommerce giant is THE SOURCE for anyone interested in growing herbs. With over 25 years of experience in the market, each plant is grown on their farm. Featured on both Oprah and Martha Stewart, the nursery is in Charles City County, 25 miles east of Richmond along the shores of the historic James River.
