Natural Health

Posted by Callie in Holistic Feathers

Seeking good reliable products to maintain our natural health balance is always tricky and over the years we have come to recognise that for our health, it really is best to reduce our toxic overload in as many ways as possible.

We not only choose natural, chemical-free skincare products for use in our home and with our clients but also actively seek high-grade quality nutritional supplements and alternative ways to map our health.  Please have a look at how we may be able to help and advise you.

Nutrition

We have links with Higher Nature, Biocare, Lamberts and Nature’s Sunshine to name but a few nutritional supplementation companies, as part of our BANT-recognised nutritional therapy training.

Free Health Check: We are an Independent Consultant for Nature’s Sunshine and have been for the past three years.  If you are interested in a free health check, the Lifestyle Analysis form will help you to identify which products are best for your needs at this moment in time.  We have made available an online Lifestyle Analysis form* for you to use; please complete and return to us following the instructions in the document and receive a free email consultation.

Key systems:  Together with the Lifestyle Analysis form, the key systems guide leaflet gives you a clear idea of which of your body systems are in need of the most attention (for example, your nervous system could be in need of the most TLC).

Zambroza ~ Quite simply the most effective antioxidant drink available on the market today!  Nature’s Sunshine combined the most healthful fruits and natural extracts from around the world blended them into this unique and delicious, nutritious juice which has been specially formulated to neutralise excess free radicals. Zambroza’s synergistic blend of ten powerful ingredients include: mangosteen, wolfberry, apple extract, blueberry, concord grape, grape seed, grape skin, green tea, red berry and raspberry.  Zambroza is a powerhouse of antioxidants that help the body fight the effects of ageing, caused by excess free radicals, it helps to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system, restores energy levels, help maintain healthy cell growth and maintains a healthy immune system.

All you need to take is just 15ml (1.2 oz.) twice daily – Callie finds this invaluable with her hayfever and has blogged about the benefits.

Fat Grabbers ~ Another product which flies off our shelves is Fat Grabbers, an ideal product for anyone who wishes to absorb less fat from their everyday diet but without resorting to chemical formulae available from their medical specialists.  Fat Grabbers contains no stimulants and no questionable ingredients – just wholesome nutritional substances which will not disrupt your normal body processes.  Fat Grabbers combines the high-quality fibre found in guar gum and psyllium hulls with chickweed and lecithin for a unique formula that traps fat molecules inside the intestinal tract before they can get into the bloodstream.

Extensive research on guar gum and psyllium hulls indicates their effectiveness in minimising the absorption of fat. Lecithin is a nutrient that works to break down fat, making it easier for the fibres to trap it. Chickweed contains saponins that also act as fat emulsifiers.  By using Fat Grabbers alongside a sensible dietary plan can help you create an effective overall weight-management programme. All elements of Fat Grabbers provide nutrients to help absorb less dietary fat, and they all enjoy a long history of safe use.

Aloe Vera Gel ~ We use aloe vera gel to make our own natural cream cleanser and moisturiser at home, as well as keep some handy in the medicine cabinet for mild burns or sunburn.  Aloe Vera is a nutritional storehouse, containing vitamins B1, B2, B6, C, niacinamide, choline and 18 amino acids.  It nutritionally benefits the intestinal system. Many companies manufacture aloe vera, but many products on the market have lost much of the plant’s original benefits due to overprocessing. Beware of aloe vera juice that claims to have no disagreeable taste.  Removing this leaves you with a product that is only 10-15% aloe vera, at best. Nature’s Sunshine’s aloe vera is processed in a special way to avoid the loss of essential vitamins, minerals and other constituents. Used externally, it is known for its hydrating and moisturising properties. Aloe vera gel spreads on quickly and penetrates deeply, leaving no stickiness.

Tei Fu ~ always on hand in our household, for all sorts of aches and pains – especially if you do lots of sport! Callie also finds that she has plenty of requests from clients, especially around the start of the football season …
Tei Fu Massage Lotion comes in a creamy lotion form and is especially designed for broad skin application.  Tei Fu Essential Oils (Nervous) was created using an ancient formula that was passed down in his family for more than 1,000 years. His secret formula was not for sale, a trait typical of older generation Chinese. This descendant realised the benefits of his family secret and decided it was too good to keep from others. Thus Nature’s Sunshine became the beneficiary of thousands of years of Chinese wisdom and herbal knowledge.  Tei Fu Oils contain safflower oil, wintergreen oil, menthol, camphor and other essential oils. The skin tingling formula penetrates deeply to encourage relaxation. It also leaves the skin smooth and supple.

All products are available directly from Holistic Feathers.  Please visit Natural Nutrition Biz for wellbeing opportunities.
