Christmas Time and Stress

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend and got some Christmas shopping done. It wasn’t too cold and we avoided rain and snow for a little while longer. I almost don’t want to bring up Christmas shopping as it is another stress for some people to deal with. At Natural Health, we are really trying to get the word out for people to stay positive and not let things bother them or stress them out. Many people don’t realize that being stressed out is a decision on their part, or that they are reacting to an emotional stimulus and that they do have the ability to control this by staying calm. We tried to get patients to just breathe, breathing in slowly through the nose, holding the breath for a few seconds, and then exhaling through to the mouth slowly. This simple exercise helps to oxygenate the brain and get the body to slow down, even slowing heart rate and reducing blood pressure, but more importantly getting your mind off of whatever is stressing you. I’ve already talked about using a product called Drenamin that helps the adrenal glands handle stress to the body, and were selling cases of it. There is another product called Cataplex G which is a B vitamin complex that helps the parasympathetic nervous system, the system of rest, relaxing, and rebuilding, so that people have the ability to calm down. If you’re low on the vitamins, the nervous system can’t balance itself and people stay in a state of anxiety.

I’m sending along an article on the use of humidifiers to help prevent Covid infection. We have been advising our patients to use humidifiers, especially in the bedrooms, since the cold weather came in as running the furnaces tends to dry out the air. Many folks realize that the kitchen usually has good humidity because of the cooking activities, but the bedroom gets dry and using a humidifier keeps the nasal passages moist and able to filter out unwanted invaders. Again, a very simple thing that people forget about over the year. You don’t even have to buy a humidifier, you can use a wet towel over the back of a chair or a pot of water on the register or keeping the bathtub half full of water, or use your imagination to get humidity in the rooms.

In closing, we are all going to have to deal with these viruses so get your immune system working at optimum. We can help at Natural Health.

Patient Testimony: What was it like before you came to see us?

In 2014 Alexis contracted a rare form of lymes disease. Ever since she has been sickly, bloated, sluggish and her system wasn’t “digesting” the way it should.   She’s had trouble going the bathroom to the point of walking in so much pain and not going for over a week at a time. We visited multiple doctors but none fixed the problem.

How is it now?

Now Alexis is doing so great. She is able to go the bathroom regularly. She’s lost all of her bloating. AS well as running, playing and being active.  Since we started her I’ve noticed so many changes in her that I didn’t realize were off. She’s happy, no pain and has that twinkle in her eye again. I’ve also noticed now that her body is healing. She isn’t getting sick as often.  (N.B.)
