Hair Loss – Nurturing Your Hair Naturally

Hair loss can be highly distressing. It can affect the scalp or the whole body, be temporary or permanent, and appear gradually or suddenly. Although it is more common in men, it can also affect anyone.

The experience of hair loss can vary widely. For example, alopecia involves a significant loss, usually on the head and face, and is considered an autoimmune issue. Others experience thinning on the top of the head or receding front hairline. This type of loss generally appears more gradually with ageing and hormonal changes. Some lose hair in circular or patchy bald spots on the scalp, beard or eyebrows. Others can experience a sudden loosening of the hair, where handfuls may come out when combing or washing hair. This change can be related to significant emotional stress or a sudden shock. Loss of hair around patches of scaling that spread over the scalp can be a sign of ringworm.

Just as the types of hair loss vary, so are the reasons. Common causes include genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions or treatments, stress, emotional and physical shock, nutritional deficiencies leading to a compromised immune system, hair treatments, such as bleaching or dying, or even fungal infections.

What can you do to improve hair loss?

Despite the wide-ranging potential causes of hair loss, a natural approach can help make a difference. Supplementation can be an effective option, as we may need support to get all the required nutrients through food alone. Adding specific vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients can help address possible gaps that may be contributing to hair loss.

For example, women may sometimes have a higher requirement for particular vitamins and minerals, such as iron and B vitamins.  These higher requirements are often due to factors such as heavy menstrual bleeding, age, or illness.

There is also some evidence that certain oils can help with hair loss. A 2015 study found that rosemary oil may be a valuable treatment for alopecia. Lavender oil is sometimes recommended to help reduce hair loss caused by stress, and tea tree oil has antimicrobial properties that can help hair loss caused by dandruff. All essential oils must be suitably diluted in an appropriate carrier oil before use. Other traditional oil-based remedies include castor oil for baldness and olive oil to help protect hair from damage and promote healthy growth.

There are also emotional issues to consider. For example, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) considers the liver an organ that holds the emotions of anger and frustration. The liver’s associated energy channel, known as a meridian, runs up the side of the body across the top of the head and down the other side. Consequently, TCM concludes that excess energy running through that channel ‘burns off’ hair on the head. Therefore, good liver support and emotional clearing techniques to release pent-up anger and frustration can be helpful.

Stress can also be a factor in hair loss because it unbalances hormones. A common area to explore here is thyroid health, which may require further testing via a GP to rule out any issues.

What foods and supplements can be helpful?

Protein provides the building blocks for hair to grow. Ensure the diet includes quality protein-rich foods such as grass-fed meat, eggs, line-caught fish, tofu, beans, and nuts. The amino acid lysine may be particularly important for hair growth. You can supplement the diet with good quality sugar-free vegan protein powders, such as spirulina, chlorella, and other super greens, vegetables, sprouted seeds and amino acids.

Ensure you include plenty of healthy fats in your diet, such as avocados, nuts, seeds, chia seeds, hemp oil, olive oil, oily fish, etc. Choose a balanced omega-rich supplement such as sea buckthorn if dietary sources are low.

Adapting the diet to include iron-rich foods may also help with hair loss. These include red meat, liver, dark green leafy vegetables, beans, and lentils. If iron levels are low, look for an ionic iron supplement, which is easier to digest and absorb.

Biotin is an essential B vitamin for healthy hair, skin, and nails. It is often part of a B-complex or multivitamin/mineral product. Look for a sublingual liquid B-complex for best absorption.

A multivitamin is also helpful because it provides other vitamins and minerals, such as zinc, vitamin E, vitamin A and the other B complex vitamins that may contribute to hair loss when in low supply.

To support thyroid health and hormone balance, consider easily absorbed nascent iodine, which is especially effective when coupled with ionic selenium.

It is also essential to consider whether there are any underlying absorption issues. A digestive enzyme supplement can help ensure food and nutrients are adequately broken down and absorbed into the body. A quality probiotic will help support the maintenance of an ever important healthy gut microbiome.

Conclusion

The journey towards naturally addressing hair loss is complex and must consider internal and external factors. While individuals face various causes, several approaches can support hair health and promote regrowth.

Supplementation can play a key role in providing essential nutrients that may be lacking in the diet and which may contribute to hair loss. Attention to diet is necessary for nourishing the body from within, and prioritising protein-rich foods will help provide the required building blocks for healthy hair growth. Hormonal balance is crucial in addressing hair loss, as is maintaining a healthy gut microbiome and digestive system.

Finally, addressing emotional factors, such as stress and anger, is essential in maintaining overall well-being and supporting hair health. Practising stress-reduction techniques and emotional clearing can help alleviate the physiological effects of stress on the body, including its impact on hair loss.

Adopting a holistic approach that encompasses dietary adjustments, supplementation, and emotional well-being helps address hair loss naturally and promotes healthier, stronger hair growth.

Healthy Liver, Thriving Life: Vital Tips for Liver Health

A healthy liver is vitally important. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the liver is labelled the ‘General’ of the body’s ‘Army’ of organs. This is because it carries out so many critical processes for good health.

The liver undertakes hundreds of essential jobs. For example, it detoxes and purifies the blood, converting the toxins into harmless substances. It also facilitates the removal of other toxins from the body. The liver converts the nutrients from food into substances the body can use. It then stores them ready to supply the cells when needed. A healthy liver plays a vital role in the body’s metabolic processes. It breaks down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. It also performs multiple other critical functions needed to keep all the ‘soldiers’ in the body working well by letting them know what to do and where to go.

In short, a happy, healthy liver is vital for a happy, healthy body. On the other hand, a sluggish, overworked, and malfunctioning liver will affect every other organ in the body and overall blood quality. Ensuring the liver has all the support it needs is critical to keeping well and having vibrant energy.

Easy ways to help support a healthy liver

A straightforward way to assist your liver function is to have a cup of warm water with freshly squeezed lemon juice added first thing in the morning. This drink will wake up the liver and help stimulate and flush it out. Then, throughout the day, drink plenty of pure water. The liver needs water to cleanse and purify the blood; dehydration can adversely affect this process.

Certain teas can also provide additional support. For example, peppermint tea helps with digestion and detoxing. Green tea, which is high in antioxidants, can help reduce lipid accumulation.

The herb milk thistle is renowned for general liver support and can be beneficial for inflammation and damage. Whilst it won’t protect against excessive drinking, a few drops of the tincture in a glass of water before and after a ‘party night’ can give added liver protection and may even help with that morning-after feeling.

Boost your glutathione levels

The liver naturally produces glutathione, which is considered the body’s master antioxidant. This antioxidant is so significant that many natural health practitioners now consider glutathione levels to be a better indication of general health than many more popularly used markers. Consequently, foods and supplements that boosts glutathione production can help promote a healthy liver and overall health.

Several studies have shown that curcumin has liver-protecting benefits and can enhance the body’s natural antioxidant system. These benefits, in turn, help increase glutathione levels, thereby contributing to liver detoxification and inhibiting damaging nitrosamine formation.

Some human and animal studies have found that eating sulphur-rich brassica vegetables may increase glutathione levels. Allium vegetables, including garlic, shallots and onions, can also boost the levels. Foods naturally high in glutathione, such as avocados, spinach, pears, and okra, may also be beneficial.

Eating your way to a healthy liver

‘An apple a day keeps the doctor away’ is an adage that has some roots in truth. Apples are a fruit that the liver loves. The malic acid opens the liver ducts, allowing the liver to flush toxins more efficiently. In addition, pectin helps the digestive system release toxins, thereby reducing the liver’s toxic load.

Washing fruit and vegetables thoroughly and avoiding pesticides and other toxins as much as possible is essential to avoid overloading the liver.

Some of the best foods for a healthy liver include cruciferous vegetables. These include broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, and kale. Other foods that support the organ and help improve bile flow include beets, artichokes, and dandelion leaves. Olive oil, although a fat, is a healthy one and has been shown to decrease the levels of fat in the liver.

Carrots contain beta-carotene, which is converted into the powerful antioxidant Vitamin A by the liver, where it is stored and ready to be used to support cell growth, immune function, foetal development, and vision. Ginger can also help repair liver damage, so a carrot and ginger juice would be a good combination for a healthy liver support drink.

Alpha lipoic acid can help support the liver. It has been shown to have a powerful antioxidant effect on fatty liver and induce liver regeneration by inhibiting apoptosis (cell death). Some studies have even shown it to affect liver fibrosis positively.

A good quality broad spectrum multi-vitamin and mineral supplement is also an excellent choice to help give the body, including the liver, the nutrients it needs, especially when there is limited access to fresh vegetables and fruit.

And finally…

A healthy liver will reap benefits from not being overloaded by alcoholic consumption, unhealthy fats, processed foods, and sugars. Plenty of fresh air, exercise, and quality sleep keep glutathione levels high and help the liver sustain a healthy body and mind.

Sea Buckthorn: ‘The Most Perfect Plant in the Whole World’

What is sea buckthorn? 

Since the formation of the Himalayas, sea buckthorn has withstood the harsh weather conditions of the Tibetan highlands. This resilient plant yields exceptionally nutritious bright orange berries on its thorny branches. Renowned for containing over 190 bioactive nutrients crucial for health, sea buckthorn has received the accolade of the “Most Perfect Plant in the Whole World.” 

The botanical name, Hippophae rhamnoides, means “The Shiny Horse.” According to ancient legend, debilitated war horses were released into sea buckthorn forests to roam freely. They were remarkably robust and healthy when they returned with glossy, radiant coats. According to Mongol tradition, Genghis Khan attributed his armies’ remarkable strength, endurance and conquests to sea buckthorn. 

What makes sea buckthorn so good?

Plant oils usually have a complex network of nutrients. Sea buckthorn oil is considered outstanding in this regard. It contains omegas 3, 7, 6 & 9, natural vitamin E and a vast array of other nutrients. In fact, it’s an antioxidant powerhouse of vitamins and minerals. It has a unique nutritional composition of phytonutrients and potent antioxidants. It includes SOD (Superoxide Dismutase), Vitamin A, and Vitamin C, along with carotenoids, tocopherols, phytosterols, phospholipids, anti-inflammatory compounds such as ellagic acid, folic acid, ferulic acid, tannins, flavonoids including quercetin, kaempferol, isorhamnetin, and more. 

One notable feature of sea buckthorn is its high content of Omega 7. Omega 7 is a less widely recognised fatty acid renowned for its health, wellness, and cosmetic applications. It has shown promise for maintaining healthy cholesterol levels and blood sugar levels. It can help smooth artery passages and help keep artery walls strong. In addition, Omega 7 has the potential to support cellular health, provide moisture, and soothe the digestive system. It has also gained popularity as a key ingredient in beauty, skincare and anti-ageing products. Despite being present in certain fish and nuts, sea buckthorn berries stand out as a richer source of Omega 7. 

Balance the omegas

Omega-3 and omega-6 are essential fatty acids, meaning your body needs them but cannot make them naturally. However, a balanced intake between the two is considered essential. The consumption of vegetable oils high in omega-6 has increased dramatically in the past 100 years. Research indicates a high intake of omega-6 relative to omega-3 may cause issues, particularly for heart health and several chronic diseases. 

A pre-industrial diet typically maintained an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio ranging from approximately 4:1 to 1:4. By contrast, a typical Western diet today has been estimated to average a ratio of 16:1 and can go much higher. Sea buckthorn, however, maintains a naturally balanced omega 3:6 ratio, approximating a ratio of 1:1. This makes it a healthy choice to help redress these imbalances. 

Oily fish such as salmon, herring, mackerel, and sardines, fish oil and flaxseed oil, flaxseeds, walnuts, and chia seeds are all excellent sources of omega-3. And, of course, so is sea buckthorn. Processed seeds and nut oils are all sources of omega-6, and the increasing prevalence of these products in the diet is one of the reasons for the significant increase in the ratios. 

What health issues is sea buckthorn helpful for, and why

So, what are the particular benefits of this highly nutritious plant? As you might guess, with so many nutrients in one product, the issues it can assist are many and varied. 

Sea-buckthorn oil can contribute to enhanced blood circulation. It can also help promote skin oxygenation and facilitate the elimination of excess toxins from the body.  

Because it can help bring moisture into the cells, as well as being rich in unsaturated fat, antioxidants, phytosterols, carotenoids, and vitamins E and K, sea buckthorn is helpful as a beauty product. It can protect the skin’s integrity, promote its renewal and help dehydrated skin as well as wrinkles and fine lines. Its impact is further realised within the skin, where gamma-linolenic acid is converted to prostaglandins. This offers protection against infections, allergy prevention, inflammation reduction, and inhibition of the ageing process. It may also help repair damaged hair and restore its elasticity and smoothness. Maybe the legend of the ‘shiny horses’ isn’t such a legend after all!  

Mucous membranes play a pivotal role in moisture regulation. However, they are susceptible to oxidative stress from free radicals, leading to inflammation and dryness. Sea buckthorn’s diverse nutrients are essential for the upkeep of the mucous membrane cells. These cells line sensitive areas of the body, such as the eyes, digestive system, and genital regions. For this reason, sea buckthorn can be helpful for conditions like dry eyes, dry mouth and intimate dryness around menopause.

Sea buckthorn provides potential support for cardiovascular health and diabetes

Sea buckthorn oil has the potential to support cardiovascular health by mitigating blood pressure, enhancing cholesterol profiles, and offering protection against the formation of blood clots. It also exhibits the potential to enhance insulin secretion, which in turn helps to improve insulin sensitivity and regulate blood sugar levels, factors that may contribute to protection against the onset of type 2 diabetes. 

The high flavonoid and antioxidant content may help the immune system, while healthy fats, vitamin E, and carotenoids may protect liver cells from damage. 

Sea buckthorn offers some possible anticancer effects due to its bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids and antioxidants. Notably, sea buckthorn is particularly abundant in quercetin, a flavonoid that research has demonstrated properties conducive to inhibiting cancer cell proliferation. 

Conclusion

Sea buckthorn, often considered “The Most Perfect Plant in the Whole World”, provides over 190 bioactive nutrients significant for health and beauty. Its wide array of beneficial properties, including antioxidant and antibacterial, demonstrate its importance for natural health and potentially valuable impact on cardiovascular health, immune support, skin quality, and overall well-being. Sea Buckthorn’s unique omega-rich composition distinguishes it as a powerful botanical resource.

Varicose veins – Prevention is Not in Vain

Varicose veins are very common, impacting around 25% of women and 15% of men aged 15 years and above. Often dismissed as merely concerning because of their appearance, they can indicate other health issues and require serious attention.

Comprising twisted, enlarged veins, varicose veins usually occur on the legs and feet because of the effect of gravity. Spider veins are a milder, smaller type of varicose veins, so-called because they often look like a spider web. They appear red or blue and commonly occur on the face and legs, just under the skin.

When veins are healthy, they ensure that blood flows smoothly to the heart. They prevent blood from flowing backwards using a series of tiny valves, similar to the locks in a canal. However, if those valves become damaged or weakened, blood can flow back again and collect at the lower valve. This can then lead to a build-up of blood, causing the vein to swell.

Any vein near the skin’s surface can become varicose, resulting in aching, heavy and uncomfortable legs, swollen feet and ankles, and burning or throbbing. There can be cramping, especially at night, and the skin over the veins can become dry, thin and itchy.

Risk factors for developing varicose veins include pregnancy and obesity, which put added pressure on veins, wear and tear from ageing, and standing or sitting for long periods. Women tend to develop varicose veins more than men, which may be because female hormones can relax vein walls.

Though they are considered more common than heart and peripheral arterial disease combined, varicose veins are generally underdiagnosed and undertreated. And whilst complications are rare, there is still a chance of inflammation, ulcers, or blood clots forming, so it makes sense to minimise that risk by improving blood flow and muscle tone.

Ways to help improve varicose veins 

Adopting a balanced diet rich in antioxidants and nutrients contributes to overall health. Foods like berries, citrus fruits, and leafy greens provide the body with essential vitamins and minerals.

Proper hydration supports overall circulatory health by maintaining vein elasticity. Drinking adequate water throughout the day helps ensure that blood can flow smoothly through the veins.

Regular exercise, particularly activities like walking, swimming, tai chi, or yoga, supports circulation and can also help manage weight, reducing the burden on veins.

Avoiding prolonged periods of sitting or standing is crucial for preventing varicose veins. Changing positions regularly is vital for encouraging blood flow. Short breaks to move and stretch throughout the day keep blood circulating and reduce the risk of developing or worsening varicose veins. Elevating the legs, especially after a long day, can relieve pressure on veins and encourage blood to flow back towards the heart.

Avoid over-tight hosiery, which can limit circulation. However, well-fitting compression socks or stockings can provide beneficial external support, aiding proper blood circulation and reducing the symptoms associated with varicose veins.

Is it time to ditch the heels?

Choose footwear that prioritises comfort and support. High heels move the weight to the fore of the foot and the toes, causing the calf muscles to remain contracted. As a result, the foot and calf veins do not fill as well, and the calf muscle pump is less forceful.

Why is this so important? Veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. In the legs, superficial veins located just below the skin surface collect blood. Deeper veins that run within the calf muscles then receive the blood. The calves’ muscular action helps pump the blood against the force of gravity towards the heart, and one-way valves inside the veins prevent the blood from travelling backwards. If this pumping action is compromised, the resultant lowering of efficiency can cause the pooling of blood in the leg and result in varicose veins.

You can consider several supplements when looking to help and maintain venous health.

Vitamin C plays a crucial role in collagen formation and is the building block of veins and blood vessels. One containing bioflavonoids would be a good choice, as these are known to enhance its efficacy. A healthy daily dose may even help restore those stubborn veins.

Various proteolytic enzymes have anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce inflammation associated with varicose veins. Enzymes, such as bromelain, papain, and trypsin, for example, are useful to help support blood vessel health.

Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, contributing to overall vein health. When taken together, amino acids like l-arginine and l-lysine boost nitric oxide production, improving blood circulation.

Conclusion

Varicose veins may be a common concern, but a holistic approach involving natural remedies can often contribute to prevention as well as relief. You can promote optimal vein health by adopting a healthy lifestyle, incorporating targeted supplements, and staying mindful of risk factors. Natural approaches are often gradual in their effects, so consistency and patience are key when adopting these strategies.

The Health Benefits of Curcumin – The Golden Spice

The health benefits of curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, are being increasingly recognised today.

For thousands of years, people in India and the Far East have treasured turmeric as a spice and medicinal herb.  Traditionally, people have used it for respiratory conditions, sprains, swellings, liver disorders, and rheumatism.  Topically, people have applied it to infected wounds, ringworm, bruises, and inflammation on the skin or oral mucosa. However, modern science is now researching and confirming many of these therapeutic effects. It seems the Indians were right all along – it really does have healing properties. Furthermore, scientists have identified a bioactive component called curcumin, which has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. Today, it is growing popular as a nutritional supplement. In this article, we’ll take a closer look into the health benefits of curcumin and its many uses.

Curcumin and Inflammation

It is now well accepted acute and chronic inflammation is a major factor in the progression of many diseases, including obesity, type two diabetes, arthritis, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative conditions, as well as some types of cancer. Therefore, finding ways to tackle it has become a significant health priority. Studies show curcumin can help dampen inflammation by inhibiting the activity of various enzymes and signalling molecules which play a role in inflammation. In particular, it acts as a COX-2 inhibitor, helping reduce inflammation and pain. Research has demonstrated that curcumin can match the effectiveness of some powerful anti-inflammatory drugs, and the great news is that it has no side effects.

Curcumin Protects Against Free Radicals

Another major contributor to chronic illness is oxidative stress. It’s also believed to be one of the mechanisms behind ageing caused by an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidant defences. Free radicals are atoms or molecules with one or more unpaired electrons. They are produced in our bodies every minute of the day as by-products of metabolism or created during cellular responses to toxins, inflammatory cytokines or bacterial invasion. They are highly reactive, causing damage to lipids, proteins and DNA around the body. Antioxidants can prevent or delay oxidation reactions by scavenging the free radicals and donating electrons to reduce their reactivity. 

Curcumin is a potent antioxidant which can help neutralise these free radicals. Studies show it may also help reduce their production and increase the activity of antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione, catalase and superoxide dismutase. 

Discover The Health Benefits of Curcumin

Brain Health

It is the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which have made curcumin a good candidate for brain health. Various protocols for dementia and traumatic brain injury have utilised it. Studies suggest it can help improve memory and cognitive function and even has the potential to reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. Studies show it may help delay the degradation of neurons. Under certain circumstances, brain cells can form new connections and multiply and increase in number. One of the main drivers of this process is brain-derived neurotrophic factor, a type of growth hormone. It is theorised curcumin may help promote the production of this hormone. Conditions like depression and Alzheimer’s disease link to low levels of BDNF.

Arthritic Help

Researchers now recognise that osteoarthritis, once considered purely degenerative, also involves inflammatory aspects with connections to systemic inflammation. However, several studies have shown that one of the most significant health benefits of curcumin is that it can help reduce pain and improve joint function in people with both rheumatoid and osteoarthritis. 

Liver Support

Oxidative stress is considered one of the major contributors to liver damage. A variety of things, including alcohol, drugs, viral infections, environmental pollutants and dietary toxins, can cause it. It can result in liver injury, non-alcoholic liver disease, liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. Historically, people have used curcumin to support the liver. Studies show it exerts remarkable protective and therapeutic benefits against the effects of oxidative stress-associated liver diseases. Other research has shown that it can reduce fat accumulation in the liver, improve lipid metabolism, and reduce inflammation. Additionally, research suggests it may protect against oxidative stress and help restore normal liver functioning. 

Blood Sugar Balance

Studies have shown that curcumin helps regulate blood sugar levels, making it a valuable supplement for people with diabetes or those at risk of developing the condition. It may also improve insulin sensitivity and reduce complications related to diabetes, such as diabetic neuropathy and retinopathy. Don’t forget its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties may help protect the pancreas and other organs affected by diabetes.

Heart Disease

The health benefits of curcumin also extend to cardiovascular concerns. These include its potential to help lower cholesterol, reduce the risk of blood clots and prevent plaque build-up in the arteries. Some studies have even found it can improve the function of the endothelium, the lining of blood vessels. It is well known endothelial dysfunction is a major driver of heart disease and high blood pressure. 

Cancer Prevention

Some studies have looked at curcumins’ potential role in cancer prevention. Research suggests that it may help inhibit the growth of cancer cells and even induce apoptosis (cell death) in some cancerous cells. It’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties may also help reduce the risk of cancer development. 

Choose Curcumin Wisely

It’s worth knowing that curcumin is notoriously poorly absorbed, whether it comes from food or nutritional supplements. Good Health Naturally products contain Meriva Curcumin, the most clinically researched and effective curcumin product on the market. It is cleverly embedded into a lecithin phospholipid, dramatically increasing bioavailability and absorption. Studies show it offers significantly superior absorption when compared to unformulated curcuminoid mixtures. 

Unleash the Health Benefits of Curcumin

The health benefits of curcumin are wide-reaching, and it really does seem to have extraordinary healing properties. Supplementing with curcumin can be a great way to protect the body from all the daily battles against inflammation and oxidative stress.

Unlocking the Benefits of Electro Acupressure

Introduction to Electro Acupressure

In the ever-evolving world of pain management, many methods and techniques have emerged, offering hope and relief to those dealing with various types of discomfort. One method that stands out for its holistic and non-invasive approach is electroacupressure. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of electro acupressure and delve into how it differs from other pain management methods. We’ll also introduce an easy-to-use at-home device called HealthPoint™, which enables individuals to harness the healing potential of electro acupressure.

What is Acupressure

Acupressure is a traditional healing technique rooted in ancient Chinese medicine. It is based on the same principles as acupuncture but without using needles. Acupressure involves the application of manual pressure, usually using the fingertips, to specific points on the body. These points, known as acupressure points or acupoints, are situated along the body’s meridians. They are believed to be channels through which vital energy, or “qi” (pronounced “chee”), flows.

The human body contains hundreds of acupressure points, each with specific functions and connections to various organs and bodily systems. You can locate these points along the body’s surface and access them on the skin.

Acupressure believes applying pressure to these points can help unblock or balance energy flow along the meridians. When energy flows smoothly, it promotes physical and emotional well-being. However, blockages or imbalances may result in discomfort or illness.

Understanding Electro Acupressure

Electro acupressure is a therapeutic practice that combines traditional acupressure techniques with modern electrical stimulation. It involves the application of low-frequency electrical impulses to specific acupressure points on the body, creating a gentle stimulation. This aims to stimulate the body’s natural energy flow and promote healing. It also promotes relaxation, making it particularly effective for reducing stress and anxiety and enhancing overall well-being.

The HealthPoint™ Device

One of the most accessible ways to experience the benefits of electro acupressure is through an at-home device like HealthPoint™. This user-friendly gadget is designed for people of all backgrounds and levels of experience. It comes equipped with a probe that can be easily placed on the skin. The device also offers various settings to adjust the intensity and frequency of the electrical impulses, allowing for a personalised experience.

Benefits of Electro Acupressure

Pain Management: Electro acupressure can effectively alleviate various types of pain and may help chronic inflammatory conditions. By targeting specific acupressure points, the electrical impulses help reduce pain by promoting the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers.

Stress Reduction: This method is renowned for reducing stress and anxiety. The gentle stimulation created by electro acupressure helps calm the nervous system and induce relaxation, making it a valuable tool for those seeking mental and emotional well-being.

Improved Sleep: Many individuals find help with improved sleep through electro acupressure. By promoting relaxation and balancing energy flow, this technique can lead to better sleep quality and more restful nights.

Enhanced Circulation: Electro acupressure can aid in improving blood circulation, which can be particularly beneficial for those dealing with circulation-related issues or injuries. Better circulation can lead to faster healing and overall well-being.

How Electro Acupressure Differs from Other Pain Management Methods

Non-Invasive: Unlike invasive treatments, electro acupressure is entirely non-invasive. It does not require the use of needles or drugs, making it a safe and gentle alternative for those who wish to avoid more intrusive procedures.

Holistic Approach: Electro acupressure focuses on holistic well-being by balancing the body’s energy flow. It considers the interconnectedness of physical, mental, and emotional health, a distinct departure from more conventional pain management methods.

Personalised Experience: With devices like HealthPoint™, users can tailor their electro acupressure sessions to meet their needs. This level of personalisation is a significant advantage in achieving optimal results.

How does Electro Acupressure Differ from TENS?

Electro Acupressure and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) are two distinct methods of electrical stimulation that offer various benefits and applications. Electro acupressure involves using low-frequency electrical impulses applied to specific acupressure points on the body.

On the other hand, TENS uses a higher frequency of electrical impulses to target nerves and muscle groups, primarily for pain relief. TENS devices are designed to alleviate discomfort by interfering with pain signals sent to the brain, making them valuable for managing chronic or acute pain conditions. While both methods utilise electrical stimulation, they differ in their intended purpose, frequency, and points of application. 

Electro acupressure focuses on holistic wellness and energy balance, while TENS primarily focuses on pain management. Understanding the distinctions between these two techniques can help individuals choose the most suitable approach for their needs.

What makes HealthPoint™ different?

The HealthPoint™ device offers a unique advantage in its use of alternating polarity, a feature that sets it apart from many other electroacupressure devices. This innovative technology ensures users cannot over-treat a specific acupressure point, enhancing its safety profile for home use. By constantly alternating the polarity of electrical impulses, HealthPoint™ prevents the risk of excessive stimulation or discomfort, making it a safe and user-friendly option for individuals seeking the benefits of electro acupressure.

Female Hormonal Health – a Natural Approach

Female hormonal health can change over time.  Hormonal fluctuations form part of women’s lives’ natural ebb and flow. When our hormones are in harmony, we feel we can achieve anything. But the reality of our physiology is that we are in a state of constant flux. Even the subtlest changes in hormone levels can throw us off-kilter, occurring for all sorts of reasons at various points throughout our lives. And for many of us that can happen at multiple points in any given month! Thankfully, help is at hand. Nature could hold the key to bringing things back into balance and supporting female hormonal health.

Supporting Female Hormonal Health

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a common condition, but it affects some women more profoundly than others. It can worsen at certain life stages. For example, during perimenopause (the symptoms of which can be easily mistaken for PMS) or when taking hormonal contraceptives. It is also becoming more widely understood that a small number of women experience a severe form of premenstrual syndrome known as premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).

In PMDD, the typical symptoms of PMS, including breast tenderness, headaches, fatigue, bloating and changes in appetite, may be amplified. They are also accompanied by severe mood swings, intense irritability and deep sadness. Symptoms can become debilitating and, if not addressed, severely impact work, relationships and sense of self. However, it is possible to manage these symptoms, and several holistic options are available for PMS and PMDD. Nutrients to improve and balance mood, such as l-theanine or lithium orotate, as well as magnesium to support the nervous system, can help lift you up when you are feeling low and provide emotional rescue during difficult times of the month.

In many cultures, menopause is regarded as a beautiful natural progression and a stage of life to be embraced.  It is seen as bringing freedom, empowerment and a fresh perspective. It is a perfect opportunity to practice self-care, make time for yourself and identify what you need and want from the next chapter of your life – and how to achieve it! As it is a natural transition, it follows that natural methods of managing menopause can go a long way towards easing and enhancing this transformative experience – which is ultimately an exciting journey involving mind, body and spirit.

Eat (and Exercise!) Your Way to Wellness

Dietary and lifestyle changes can be especially beneficial to support female hormonal health. A balanced, nutritious diet with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats is essential. Additionally, regular exercise may help to balance hormones in the body. It can be anything you enjoy, walking, swimming, yoga, cycling, or even dancing! Gentle exercise can help to release endorphins which elevate mood. It can also help to relieve menstrual cramps as well as ‘mittelschmerz’.  This is the pain some women can experience around the time of ovulation, which, again, for some, can be severe. If this is something you suffer from, then reducing inflammation in the body through the use of a natural supplement such as vitamin E and curcumin may also help.

Nutrient Helpers for Female Hormonal Health

Nutrients and herbs can alleviate many hormone-related symptoms and assist on both a physical and emotional level. However, always seek medical advice if you are on any medication or birth control before starting a new supplement regimen, as some natural remedies, such as St John’s Wort, can contraindicate with prescribed drugs and reduce their effectiveness.   

Purple Maca

Purple maca, a lesser-known variety of the Peruvian maca root, has gained significant attention for its remarkable ability to support female hormonal balance. This unique superfood is distinguished by its rich, vibrant colour. It contains a wealth of essential nutrients that can help regulate hormonal fluctuations in women. It is particularly effective in addressing irregular menstrual cycles, menopausal symptoms, and premenstrual discomfort. Purple maca nourishes the endocrine system, pivotal in hormone production and regulation. Its adaptogenic properties can help the body adapt to stress, which is often a critical factor in hormonal imbalances. By incorporating purple maca into their diet, women may experience improved hormonal equilibrium, increased energy, and enhanced overall well-being.  This makes it a natural and empowering choice for those seeking to regain control of their hormonal health.

B Vitamins

B vitamins are crucial for female hormonal health. They play a vital role in the metabolism and regulation of hormones, helping to maintain balanced menstrual cycles and reduce PMS symptoms. Vitamin B6, in particular, aids in producing neurotransmitters that influence mood and hormonal balance. Additionally, B vitamins support the liver in metabolizing excess estrogen, which can be a key factor in hormonal imbalances. Ensuring an adequate intake of B vitamins through a balanced diet or supplements can be an effective strategy for promoting overall hormonal well-being in women.

Magnesium

Magnesium is a vital mineral that plays a significant role in supporting female hormonal health. It helps regulate various hormonal processes, particularly in the context of the menstrual cycle. Magnesium can alleviate common symptoms of PMS, such as bloating and mood swings, by balancing critical hormones like estrogen and progesterone. It also promotes relaxation and reduces stress, which is essential for hormonal equilibrium. Using a topical magnesium product can effectively top up daily levels, promote hormonal balance and aid relaxation.

Nascent Iodine

Nascent iodine is a valuable mineral supplement that can play a pivotal role in maintaining female hormonal balance. Iodine is essential for properly functioning the thyroid gland, which regulates hormones critical to the menstrual cycle. Adequate iodine levels can help prevent irregular periods and reduce the risk of conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). By ensuring a proper intake of iodine, women can support their thyroid health and contribute to overall hormonal equilibrium, which is essential for their well-being and reproductive health.

Omega 3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 fatty acids are a powerful ally in maintaining balanced female hormone health. These essential fats, found in fatty fish like salmon and in supplements like krill oil, possess anti-inflammatory properties that can alleviate menstrual discomfort and reduce the severity of PMS symptoms. Omega-3s also support optimal brain function, helping to manage mood swings and emotional fluctuations often associated with hormonal changes. Furthermore, they promote healthy circulation, which is essential for a well-regulated menstrual cycle. Including omega-3-rich foods or supplements in one’s diet can effectively enhance female hormonal equilibrium and overall well-being.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a crucial nutrient for maintaining female hormonal health. Its antioxidant properties help combat oxidative stress, which can lead to hormonal imbalances. Vitamin E is particularly beneficial for managing menopausal symptoms, as it supports healthy estrogen levels and can alleviate hot flashes and mood swings. It is also associated with improved PMS symptoms and less period pains. Additionally, it aids in maintaining reproductive health and fertility by protecting the ovaries from damage. Including vitamin E-rich foods like nuts, seeds, and leafy greens in one’s diet or taking supplements can contribute to balanced female hormones.

An Alternative Approach 

Complementary therapies offer valuable tools for women seeking to balance their hormones naturally. Modalities like acupuncture, herbal medicine, and mindfulness practices like yoga and meditation can help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce the intensity of PMS symptoms, and ease the transition through menopause. These holistic approaches address the root causes of hormonal imbalances, such as stress and inflammation, promoting overall well-being.

Aromatherapy is another effective complementary therapy that can aid in balancing female hormones. Essential oils, carefully selected for their specific properties, can alleviate menstrual discomfort, reduce stress, and promote emotional well-being. For instance, oils like lavender and clary sage have calming effects and can help manage mood swings and anxiety often associated with hormonal fluctuations. Incorporating aromatherapy into daily routines through practices like diffusing essential oils or using them in massages can provide women with a natural and soothing way to support their hormonal health and overall wellness.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the pursuit of balanced female hormonal health can benefit immensely from integrating various natural and complementary therapies. From essential nutrients like B vitamins and vitamin E to minerals such as magnesium and nascent iodine, these elements can help regulate hormones and alleviate menstrual discomfort. Complementary practices like acupuncture, herbal medicine, and aromatherapy offer holistic approaches that address the underlying factors contributing to hormonal imbalances, enhancing overall well-being. These natural and supportive methods empower women to take charge of their hormonal equilibrium, providing a well-rounded and personalized approach to hormonal health. By combining these various elements, women can embark on a journey towards greater balance and a higher quality of life, enjoying the benefits of holistic well-being.

The Benefits of Liposomal Delivery of Supplements

The benefits of liposomal delivery have been known since they were first discovered and developed in the 1960s. However, it wasn’t until many years later that these benefits became cost-effective for supplements.

In essence, the liposomal delivery of a supplement encapsulates the nutrient in tiny fatty sacs called liposomes. These liposomes act as protective carriers, shielding the ingredients within them from deterioration in the digestive system.

Delivering maximum absorption and unrivalled bioavailability, liposomal technology represents a sophisticated, safe, and natural supplementation method.

Here, we will share some fascinating facts about the benefits of liposomal delivery for supplements, covering what they are and how they work. We will also share how to ensure you choose the best liposomal formulas to enhance your health.

 

What Are Liposomal Delivery Supplements?

The science behind liposomes is genuinely fascinating. They are part of a broader family of lipid-based delivery systems.  These include simple oil-in-water emulsions, such as those commonly found in skincare products. However, liposome structure is unique, which is the key to their success. Instead of using a surfactant (a molecule that has a dual nature, enabling it to interact with both water and oil, for example, lecithin) to merely stabilise a drop of oil-water, a liposome is composed of an extraordinary arrangement of phospholipids, or healthy fats.

Phospholipids are unique in that they have a water-loving phosphate ‘head’ and two fat-loving ‘tails’ made from a fatty acid. These arrange themselves into bi-layer structures to form a spherical membrane, remarkably similar to a human cell. It acts as a protective pocket around the active ingredient – the desired vitamin, mineral or supplement – at its core. The liposome’s unique properties mean it can be modified to hold either fat-soluble or water-soluble molecules. Then, the liposome encapsulates these molecules, forming an impenetrable bubble during its journey towards the targeted cells. This protects the ingredients from the harsh environment of the digestive tract.

The liposomes’ striking resemblance to the body’s cell membranes is known as their ‘molecular mimicry’. This mimicry enables them to deposit their precious contents directly into the destination cells by physically merging with them. This degree of absolute absorption ensures that all of the desired vitamins, minerals or nutrients can reach the bloodstream effectively and, crucially, remain in the blood for longer. They are small enough to bypass ‘first-pass’ metabolism, which takes place in the liver.

Liposomes Deliver Superior Bioavailability

Liposomal delivery supplements offer superior bioavailability, meaning the body uses the ingredients much more efficiently. Liposomal liquid formulas can be easier to take and more pleasant than tablet or capsule counterparts. They are an ideal, gentle option for those with digestive difficulties or swallowing problems. They can also be more cost-effective for consumers thanks to their high potency. The protection afforded to the core nutrient by the liposome prevents the supplement from losing its strength along the way. This allows for smaller doses that nonetheless deliver potent results – with no reported side effects.

Some supplements that benefit from liposomal delivery

Liposomal Vitamin C formulas, for example, can rapidly raise blood concentrations and reach cells faster than over-the-counter tablets using their expedited delivery system. Vitamin C taken at high doses has been linked to countless health benefits, potentially supporting immune function, brain health, blood sugar health, and heart health.

Because liposomes can be adapted to hold different types of molecules, they can deliver various nutrients to support the body in many ways. They are popular with eye nutrients as they help with the absorption of carotenoids and help quickly deliver them to the eye area where needed. Liposomal delivery supplements are also beneficial for hard-to-absorb nutrients, such as curcumin.

The ever-expanding world of liposomal technology presents exciting possibilities. It allows vital nutrients to improve the efficiency of an array of bodily processes. It offers consumers choice, convenience, flexible dosing, and an enjoyable new way to meet their nutritional needs.

Conclusion

In summary, liposomal delivery supplements emerge as an outstanding choice for those seeking to maximise the efficacy of their nutritional intake.

The advanced technology behind liposomal delivery enhances the absorption of essential nutrients, ensuring they reach their intended destination within the body with greater efficiency. You can achieve the benefits of liposomal delivery, whether you’re aiming to fortify your immune system, support overall health, or target specific wellness goals, with this reliable and innovative solution.

With the promise of increased bioavailability and better results, it’s clear that liposomal supplements represent a wise investment in your long-term well-being. Make the smart choice and experience the difference liposomal delivery can bring to your health and vitality.

The Benefits of Bakuchiol – The New Beauty Buzzword

 

Dubbed a ‘Holy Grail’ ingredient and a new skincare sensation, bakuchiol has become something of a beauty buzzword. It has gained serious traction to break beyond the realms of the natural beauty community and make its way into the mainstream. We delve into the benefits of bakuchiol and how this powerful plant-based retinol alternative can work for your complexion and explore why it is such a valuable addition to any daily skincare regimen.

 

What is Bakuchiol?

Derived from the seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia plant, bakuchiol is a potent antioxidant yet also has a profoundly soothing effect on the skin. The use of bakuchiol on the skin has its origins in Ayurvedic medicine. This long history of traditional application is a testament to its efficacy in the treatment of conditions such as eczema as well as minor skin ailments.

It rivals retinol in its anti-ageing capabilities – a study by Dhaliwal et al. (2019) demonstrated that bakuchiol is comparable with retinol in its ability to improve photoageing. This may be because its activity profile – the way it acts upon our skin cells – shares many common features with retinol, but excitingly, a further 2022 study by Bluemke et al. found that bakuchiol even has additional ‘biopositive effects’, or skin health benefits. These include accelerated epidermal regeneration and wound healing, meaning that bakuchiol shows excellent promise in stimulating cell turnover for more radiant skin and aiding in clearing minor blemishes and skin irritations. Overall, the study concluded that there is strong evidence ‘for the multidirectional efficacy of bakuchiol against cellular hallmarks of skin ageing.’ (Bluemke et al., 2022)

 

Are The Benefits of Bakuchiol Available to Anyone?

Unlike retinol, bakuchiol is found to be exceptionally well-tolerated and suitable even for those with more sensitive skin types. Studies have reported that, ‘Notably, bakuchiol does not cause common adverse effects seen with topical retinoids such as burning and scaling, permitting wider use in patients with sensitive skin.’ (Greenzaid et al., 2022). A significant advantage of formulas containing bakuchiol is that they are safe and gentle for daily use. By contrast, there are restrictions on the frequency of use of retinol products, often recommended to use only once or twice per week.

 

What Other Ingredients Can Be Used to Optimise The Benefits of Bakuchiol?

Bakuchiol is effective when used in conjunction with other skincare ingredients, especially antioxidants such as Co-Enzyme Q10. A naturally occurring enzyme produced by the body, CoQ10 is one of the essential building blocks for healthy, glowing skin, aiding in cell repair and regeneration. This antioxidant powerhouse also uses the same pathway as Vitamin C to neutralise free radicals. A favourite within popular skincare formulations for many years, CoQ10 takes on a new dimension when paired with bakuchiol. Together, these powerful antioxidants can support healthier, youthful-looking skin by protecting against environmental aggressors, such as pollution and sun exposure.

 

Conclusion

Bakuchiol is a gentle, safe, and natural skincare ingredient that is perfect for any clean beauty routine.

The benefits of bakuchiol relate to its potential to improve a wide array of skin concerns. This is thanks to its ability to regenerate the epidermis and facilitate faster healing. Furthermore, it can help with visible signs of ageing. Its efficacy is enhanced when combined with other natural ingredients, such as CoQ10.

It can be used by people of all skin types, making it an excellent choice for those whose options for facial skincare products may otherwise be limited. However, we always recommend testing before using any new product, as individual results can vary.

The Benefits of Transdermal Magnesium Therapy


If you’re looking for an effective and convenient way to ensure you meet your daily magnesium intake, understanding the benefits of transdermal magnesium therapy is a compelling option worth considering. Magnesium, a vital mineral for numerous bodily functions, can be absorbed through the skin, offering an alternative to traditional oral supplements. This innovative approach not only circumvents potential digestive issues but also allows for more efficient magnesium absorption, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a convenient and effective way to support their daily magnesium needs.

Why is Magnesium Important?

As the fourth most abundant mineral in our bodies, magnesium is an element we can’t live without. Thanks to its vital role as an enzyme cofactor, it regulates over 300 biochemical reactions and bodily processes, helping to support healthy heart function, relaxing muscles, producing cellular energy, protecting bone health and strengthening the nervous system. 

Its ability to ease anxiety and improve sleep quality is one reason more and more of us are choosing to supplement magnesium. Magnesium can also provide more targeted relief from a range of common health concerns, from reducing the severity of premenstrual mood swings to enhancing topical wound healing, calming chronic pain, improving energy and endurance in athletes, and supporting cleansing and heavy metal detox. Sufficient magnesium is an essential pillar of good health…but what’s the most effective way to ensure we’re getting enough and dietary sources may be low due to soil depletion and modern farming practices? The answer may surprise you. 

What is Transdermal Magnesium Therapy?

Applying magnesium topically through the skin is an efficient way to rapidly boost the body’s cellular magnesium levels. This is known as Transdermal Magnesium Therapy and involves applying a magnesium-rich lotion, oil, cream or body butter to the skin on a daily or nightly basis – in other words, swapping out your usual skincare product for one containing magnesium and using it the same way as you would your daily body moisturiser. It’s a simple solution with a myriad of potential health benefits. 

Mood-Boosting Magic

Magnesium can assist in supporting mental health, and studies have revealed it can even reverse depression symptoms. Applying magnesium topically enhances its uplifting effect on the mind and mood by promoting self-care and turning daily magnesium supplementation into a calming ritual. Topical magnesium formulations often include nourishing ingredients that care for the skin, such as shea butter or sweet almond oil, which can improve the health and natural beauty of the skin, boosting an individual’s confidence in their appearance and enhancing overall well-being. 

The Benefits of Transdermal Magnesium Therapy for Happy Hearts

Magnesium is an essential mineral for cardiovascular health. It helps to regulate blood pressure, support healthy cholesterol balance and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. Studies have shown that magnesium improves the overall functioning of the heart muscle, and higher blood magnesium levels are associated with a lower risk of heart disease.

The Benefits of Transdermal Magnesium Therapy for Athletes

Magnesium is an excellent addition to any post-exercise regime, as its muscle-relaxant properties make it ideal for supporting recovery from light and intense exercise. Particularly when combined with cooling ingredients such as ginger, menthol and arnica, topical magnesium can bring rapid relief from any post-workout aches and pains and support tired muscles to rest and recover. 

Soak The Day Away

A long soak in a bath containing magnesium flakes is a wonderfully relaxing way to meet your daily magnesium requirements. It is also ideal for helping children to relax and unwind before bedtime. Why not try it next time you need to wind down? 

Say Goodbye to Side-Effects

What is fantastic about Transdermal Magnesium Therapy is that you have absolute control over the dosage regarding how much, how little or how often you apply. You can build your applications up in a way that is comfortable for you. Because it bypasses the digestive tract, topical magnesium eliminates the risk of any gastrointestinal discomfort or tummy upset that can sometimes be associated with oral forms of magnesium, such as tablets or capsules.

An Ancient Source

When choosing the best transdermal magnesium products for you, look out for ultra-pure formulations from a trusted and ancient natural source, such as the ancient Zechstein seabed. Some formulations will also include ingredients such as MSM to help enhance absorption of the magnesium so that the body better utilises it, so these are also a great choice. 

Conclusion

Transdermal magnesium therapy presents a promising solution for individuals striving to maintain their daily magnesium requirements. Its unique ability to bypass digestive limitations and provide efficient absorption sets it apart from traditional supplementation methods. Whether you’re seeking to support muscle function, promote relaxation, or enhance overall well-being, this alternative approach to magnesium intake can play a valuable role in your daily health regimen. Embrace the benefits of transdermal magnesium therapy and experience the advantages of a more efficient and convenient path to meeting your magnesium needs.
