Text Box: Ah yes, it is Spring!  This season naturally inspires us to clean and cleanse, and we look for ways to de-clutter, refresh, and renew.  For our bodies, Spring cleansing lightens and refreshes our health and increases our energy.  It helps our bodies to rid themselves of toxins and waste so we can function more clearly and efficiently. Exposure to chemicals, pesticides, food additives, preservatives, and pollution can, over time, transform healthy cells into abnormal cells that may eventually lead to chronic problems.  This toxic load we face today is often more than our bodies can handle, and the results are lack of energy, poor digestion, skin irritations, headaches, mood swings, and inflammation.  The blahs. There are many ways to cleanse, and every body has different needs.  Cleansing can be as simple as a 20 minute detox salt bath (Abra makes a great one!), or more involved such as following a special diet of fruits and veggies for 3 days or even a fasting plan.  Some convenient cleansing products offer specific blends of herbs which cleanse the whole body or focus on specific areas.  For example:  Flor Essence herbal liquid gently detoxifies the whole body when taken twice/day;  Chlorophyll is found by the bottle or in wheatgrass juice and 1 oz/day is an easy blood purifier;  Nature’s Sunshine’s All Cell Detox is another great quality supplement designed to detoxify the body, especially the colon, kidneys and liver. You can (and should) personalize your cleanse to meet the specific needs of your body and lifestyle.  Please come in and browse our products, brochures, and books and, of course, ask our staff about their ideas and experiences.  Happy Cleansing!

Text Box: ~Spring is in the Air~ Allergy season is on it’s way.  Here are some products that can help relieve the symptoms. Nature’s Sunshine HistaBlock may relieve allergy symptoms and improve breathing.  This blend of herbs and nutrients naturally enhance immune function and inhibit the release of histamine and other inflammatory compounds that initiate sneezing, swelling and itching of allergic reactions. Nature’s Sunshine ALJ is an herbal combination that helps to relieve sinus and upper respiratory congestion associated with allergies. Herb Pharm’s Eyebright Nettle Compound is an herbal combination that is specific for relief of hay fever and other allergies.  It’s properties are astringent, anti-inflammatory and decongestant to the membranes of the eyes, nose and sinuses, as well as the throat and upper respiratory tract. Dr. Andrew Weil’s dietary suggestions are to increase foods that are high in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables.  Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in salmon and flax.  Examples of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables are berries, cherries and dark, leafy greens.  These foods help to control the body’s inflammatory response. Please visit us to find out more about these products!

Text Box: Earth Day is a day where all individuals take responsibility for the protection and care of our planet.  By seeking what can be done in all aspects of ecology, economics and ethics, we will help to secure a healthy, peaceful future. Earth Day can be celebrated by looking ahead.  We can seek to make choices that will promote harmony, lessen pollution, reduce waste and support nature.  In our busy lives it is hard to accomplish such goals as: walking or biking instead of driving, or growing our own food.  We all can make a difference by taking time to respect the earth and our future. On this Day, let’s think about what we do to help our planet and let’s make a plan for what we are going to do in the coming year.  Help us to make Earth Day part of our everyday!
