THE WONDER JELLY FOR QUEEN BEES – ROYAL JELLY (A QUESTION OF COST)

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 05:33:20 +0000

Many people have questioned the cost of royal jelly, since there is no uniformity of price. In the United States it can cost five, six or even ten times as much as it does in Europe, but the price tags on European products can also vary considerably. It is unfortunate that such products are not always honestly priced and, as a consequence, a good natural remedy can become discredited.

Our own Gelee Royale is marketed in 10 g (0.353 oz) jars and this quantity gives about a month’s treatment. It is also available in the form of ampoules, called Apiforce.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CABBAGE POULTICES – TESTIMONIALS (TREATMENT)

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 05:27:06 +0000

At this point the doctors had given up all hope of curing her. The wound would not heal and constantly exuded pus. After nine weeks the patient asked to return home from the hospital and her family and relatives continued treating her with much care and devotion. Every ten minutes the dressing on the wound had to be changed and a special ointment applied. But despite all this kind attention the pain could not be relieved.

An acquaintance of hers who had read of cabbage poultices in my monthly magazine Health News (Gesundheits-Nachrichten) recommended this treatment and – lo and behold – within four days of trying it, the pus was discharging freely and the terrible pain receded. In spite of suffering from chronic constipation and headaches resulting from it, the patient felt much better and was delighted to be on the mend after a year and a half of illness. It is hard to believe that cabbage can achieve such success, but if this patient had not taken advantage of the treatment her condition would probably have greatly deteriorated instead of improving as it did.

VARIOUS DIETS AND TREATMENTS -KELP AND’SPRING FEVER’OR FATIGUE

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 05:21:10 +0000

Since kelp is a seaweed some may wonder what this plant from the cool ocean has to do with the feeling of laziness or listlessness experienced by many people at the onset of spring. Well, many things in life are astonishing, not least the fact that this ocean plant can help to replenish the body’s deficiency of minerals and vitamins that causes this unwelcome and bothersome feeling.

Kelp, a species of seaweed from the Pacific Ocean, is rich in minerals and for this reason has been successfully used to reduce obesity and treat thyroid problems, as well as to combat ‘spring fever’. Its successful application for both purposes has been confirmed by an increasing number of people. Kelp is always at our service with its rich content of important trace elements and it is therefore the simplest, and possibly the best and least expensive, remedy to combat ‘spring fever’. The easiest way to go about it is to take one Kelpasan tablet after each meal. If you suffer from Graves’ disease (exophthalmic goitre) or hyperthyroidism, it is important to take kelp only in homoeopathic potency (lx-6x) because the effect of the remedy depends on the appropriate dilution being used.

NATRUM MURIATICUM (COOKING OR TABLE SALT, SODIUM CHLORIDE) – INTRODUCTION

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 05:14:38 +0000

The type of person most likely to benefit from Natrum muriaticum can be described as follows: puffy face, with watery-looking skin; thin, in spite of having a good appetite; feels the cold acutely especially along the spine and back, as well as in the hands and feet; easily exhausted by mental and physical work; cannot stand the heat of the sun; inclined to headaches and migraines; easily agitated and upset. If one tries to comfort such people they become bad tempered or angry. Their bowels function badly and the stool is dry, hard and crumbly. In the case of women these symptoms are accentuated during and after their periods, which are always irregular. A typical aversion to bread can often be noted. There either seems to be a great yearning for salt or a definite aversion to it. Those who have a number of these characteristics will find Natrum muriaticum an excellent and quite harmless remedy.

A SELECTION OF MEDICINAL HERBS – PURPLE CONEFLOWER (ECHINACEA PURPUREA AND ANGUSTIFOLIA) – REINFORCING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

admin — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 05:06:27 +0000

Researchers have been taking a keen interest in Echinacea, with the aim of isolating its medicinal properties. First they tried, without success, to find the substances that prevent the growth and development of pathogenic organisms, since it was thought that this is what happens.

It was much later, however, when they discovered that the effect of Echinacea is not attributable to some antibiotic property, but to its ability to reinforce the body’s own defence mechanism. Medical science began to realise then that here was a very remarkable plant indeed. After all, the immune system is one of the most important things in our body. Without its proper functioning, without a good defence mechanism, we could not survive. We are constantly subjected to the attacks of millions of germs. However, these agents can multiply and cause damage in the human body only if they find the breeding ground necessary for their survival and if the defence system is weak.

The immune system is weakened by our modern, unnatural way of life. It is therefore understandable that a herbal remedy such as Echinacea is gaining in stature.
