5 ways to treat period pain naturally
The Herb
Studies show that the Pine Bark remedy Pycnogenol reduced the number of painkillers menstruating women needed and also cut the days when they felt period pain.
The Mineral
Cramps are worse if you are deficient in Calcium. Take 800-100mg daily throughout the month.
The Roll on
Menastil uses Calendula Oil from Marigold Petals which reduces cramps by stimulating blood flow to the area and disrupting the pain impulses.
The Pose
Try the Yoga postures The Cobra or the Bow. Both help stretch away period pain.
Start both positions lying on your front. For The Cobra, place your hands under your shoulders and push your upper body off the floor. To do The Bow, bend your legs up and reach back with your hands to grab your feet. Try to get your legs and buttocks off the ground pushing your feet and hands against each other.
The Acupoint
Massage the centre of the triangle between your thumb and fingers. Start before your period is due.

Supplements that may lower the chances of Dementia and Alzheimers by up to 60%
Research published in the Journal of Neurology by French Scientists shows that a diet rich in Omega3 oils can lower the chances of Dementia by up to 60%.
The study also found that the imbalances in our diets that mean we consume far too much Omega6 in spreads, processed foods and cooking oils can double the risk of Alzheimers say researchers.
That's why its only supplementing the right kind of pure Omega3 oil such as Fish oil or Flaxseed oil rather than a mixture of Omega oils that will help keep your brain in gear.
A separate US study looking at the effects of Beta Carotene has found that men taking Beta Carotene Supplements for 15 years or longer have better functioning memory and other brain skills.
In addition there is increasing evidence to show that Antioxidants which mop up harmful naturally produced chemicals produced in the body can stave off diseases of ageing such as Alzheimers.

Hayfever and Bio Pycnogenol.
Many people who suffer with seasonally related streaming eyes, sore and runny nose reported a real benefit taking Bio Pycnogenol last year.
A report published in the Journal of Phytotherapy Research shows that Pycnogenol, the extract of French Maritime Pine Bark can relieve the symptoms of hay fever by inhibiting the release of histamine.
Histamines are part of the body's immune system and are released from mast cells in the body in response to perceived threats.However the body is often guilty of unecessary histamine release which causes the irritation in allergies such as hay fever and sinusitis.
Recommended usage of Bio Pycnogenol 40mg for Hayfever.
Take 2 tablets twice a day for the first two weeks and then reduce to 2 tablets a day.
This allows a high level of Pycnogenol into the body to build up the protective effect against the release of histamines.
Price comparisons show Bio Pycnogenol to be the BEST VALUE for money when compared with all other major brands.

Pycnogenol.
Pycnogenols are potent antioxidants with an antioxidant activity approximately FIFTY times that of Vitamin C.
Because of the chemical structure of Pycnogenol, they can be incorporated into and protect both the aqueous (cytoplasmic) and lipid (cell membrane) phases of cells from damage by free radicals.
Pycnogenols inhibit the degradation of collagen which is the substance responsible for maintaining the integrity of tendons, ligaments and cartilage as well as providing the support structure for skin and blood vessels.
Pycnogenols decrease capillary permeability and fragility and inhibit the development of venous insufficiency, varicose veins and diabetic retinopathy.

HAY FEVER RELIEF. ALTERNATIVE NATURAL REMEDIES.
Hay fever or rhinitis is one of the commonest forms of allergy and can be extremely unpleasant for sufferers.
Around 10 million people in the UK suffer from hay fever, an allergy to pollen from plants and trees.
For severe hay fever sufferers, the summer months can spell one long period of stinging eyes and stuffy noses. Other symptoms include frequent sneezing, sinusitis and excess catarrh.
Conventional treatments for hay fever include antihistamines which can cause a number of side effects such as drowsiness and lethargy.
But there are a range of alternative natural remedies for hay fever sufferers that can provide help and relief.

HAYFEVER. NATURAL SUPPLEMENTS FOR EXTRA PROTECTION.
The symptoms of hayfever can appear as early as the beginning of March in Britain when trees begin to blossom, and the season can end as late as November when the mould spores that decompose flora appear.
A number of natural supplements can help provide added protection against hayfever and help minimise and ease its effects.
Because free radicals activate the release of histamine and cause inflammation resulting in allergy symptoms, GRAPE SEED EXTRACT supplements, rich in the antioxidant oligomeric proanthocyandins OPC’s can help prevent the production of histamine and hence counteract allergic reactions.
GARLIC too has antihistamine effects as well as being a potent natural antibiotic, as does QUECERTIN, another safe natural antihistamine, a flavonoid extracted from onions.
PYCNOGENOL an extract of French Maritime Pine Bark according to several clinical studies helps inhibit the release of histamine thus preventing the immediate reaction towards a challenge with an antigen and since this powerful antioxidant is an anti-inflammatory, it also inhibits production of pro-inflammatory mediators.
Finally supplemenation with a strong multivitamin and mineral complex can help and afford additional overall protection.

2006 - PREPARE FOR THE HIGHEST POLLEN COUNT IN LIVING MEMORY!
Hay fever sufferers in the UK have been advised to prepare for the highest pollen count in living memory.
A combination of wet and warm weather in the past few weeks has provided ideal conditions for the grasses that make summer a misery for the 12 million or so in Britain who suffer from hay fever.
John Emberlin Director of the National Pollen and Aerobiology Research Unit said that pollen counts in 2006 could exceed those of the record highs of 2005. “We are expecting it to be worse than average and as severe as last year – possibly a bit worse!�
Professor Emberlin said, “We are expecting exceedingly good conditions for dispersal�.
To put it in perspective, pollen counts of 50 grains per cubic metre are considered high but last year levels of more than 900 grains were recorded. This year June could exceed 1000 grains.
And allergic reactions to pollen are further exacerbated by pollutants in the air which when combined with pollen make them even more allergenic, as well as climate change where the longer periods of hot and dry weather produce greater amounts of protein in the pollen making them even more allergenic.

HEART DISEASE. LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN THE UK.
According to figures published on Friday May 26th 2006 by the Office for National Statistics, a staggering one in five men and one in six women died from heart disease including heart attacks in 2005.
The second lead cause of death was cerebrovascular disease, mainly strokes in both men and women.
But there are many things we all can do to improve heart health. A better diet, more exercise, managing stress better and taking supplements such as BIO PYCNOGENOL, BIO GARLIC, BASIKOL, FRENCH PARADOX and OMEGA3 all helping to contribute to improved heart health and a reduced risk of heart disease.

HEALTHY AGEING. BIO PYCNOGENOL ANTIOXIDANT. Ageing is the process that reduces the number of healthy active cells in the body by the cumulative effect of billions of cellular free radical reactions.
Free radicals can damage cell membranes and impair the cell’s ability to transport nutrients into the cell, impair the cell’s ability to transport waste products out of the cell, damage the cells DNA, damage the lysosomal sac releasing deadly lysosomes – enzymes that destroy other cell components, fuse proteins together so proteins do not function properly, and form by-
products such as the age pigment lipofuscin or advanced glycosylated end products that accumulate over time to interfere with healthy cell function.
BIO PYCNOGENOL is one of the most powerful antioxidant nutrients, a complex of several antioxidants such as the relatively large molecules of the procyanidins (bioflavonoids) and the relatively smaller molecules of catechin, epicatechin, and organic acids. This large array of molecular size of antioxidants in BIO PYCNOGENOL allow antioxidants to be distributed widely and efficiently throughout the body, reaching cell interiors as well as circulating in the bloodstream to protect cell exteriors and destroying free radicals before they can do damage to the body.
BIO PYCNOGENOL can also regenerate other antioxidants. Containing potent organic antioxidants and measurable levels of the inorganic minerals in the body needed to build antioxidant enzymes and related antioxidants within the cells, tests show that BIO PYCNOGENOL can almost double the levels of superoxide dismutase, catalyse, and glutathione.
But BIO PYCNOGENOL is much more than a powerful, multipurpose antioxidant. It has strong anti inflammatory, immune boosting, spasmolytic (antispasmodic) and anticoagulant (anti blood clotting) actions.
In addition BIO PYCNOGENOL stimulates the production of skin protein and binds to skin proteins to protect them against harmful enzymes.
All of these actions combine to make BIO PYCNOGENOL unique in its ability to give significant health benefits not known to be produced by any other antioxidant nutrient.

EVERYONE CAN BENEFIT FROM BIO PYCNOGENOL SUPPLEMENT. Supplementing daily with this remarkable supplement can reinvigorate your total health.
A potent antioxidant, it protects the body from harmful free radicals that cause degenerative and age related diseases, reduces the risk of heart attack and strokes, restores blood platelets to their normal condition and reduces the stickiness that can lead to heart attacks and strokes.
BIO PYCNOGENOL also protects the inner lining of blood vessels, supports healthy blood pressure, normalises healthy cholesterol levels and helps improve circulation by relaxing the constriction of the arteries and other blood vessels caused by the stress hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline. Thus BIO PYCNOGENOL has a key antistress function, supporting a better blood flow during periods of stressful living.
BIO PYCNOGENOL also binds to collagen in the skin to maintain healthy skin elasticity, helping to keep the skin firm and reduce wrinkles. BIO PYCNOGENOL also improves micro circulation of the tiny skin capillaries, supporting better oxygen and nutrient supply and better hydration, as well as protecting the skin from UV damage. Hence BIO PYCNOGENOL usage over time can result in fewer wrinkles and smoother skin with a healthy vibrant glow and tone.
Last but not least, BIO PYCNOGENOL is of special value to diabetics in helping to reduce diabetic retinopathy and cataracts.

ARE YOU AT RISK FROM DEVELOPING E THROMBOSIS? E-thrombosis is a growing danger attributed to anyone working at a desk or sitting still for extended periods of time and can be life threatening.
A blood clot forms in the legs resulting from long hours of inactivity which may then break off and move into the lungs with sometimes fatal results.
Researchers as do the charity Lifeblood, now believe that E Thrombosis at work may have contributed to many of the 60,000 fatalities associated with pulmonary embolisms, but gone unnoticed.
But there are solutions. Walking around the office helps stimulate circulation whilst regularly supplementing with BIO PYCNOGENOL, an extract of French Maritime Pine Bark one of the most powerful natural antioxidants available today, helps to control the permeability of capillaries, prevent oedema or swollen ankles, inhibit platelet aggregation or stickiness of the blood and ultimately reduce the risk of thrombosis. But that’s not all BIO PYCNOGENOL can do.....!
