The BC Centre for Integrated Healing, specializing in building a connection between conventional and complementary healthcare, has recommended Flor•Essence herbal tea blend as a complementary therapy for patients.
Used for centuries by the Ojibwa, the herbal remedy contains burdock root, sheep sorrel herb, slippery elm bark, watercress herb, Turkish rhubarb root, kelp, blessed thistle herb and red clover blossom. It cleanses the body of harmful toxins and free radicals. The combination of the active components work together to remove toxins and wastes from the body right down to the cellular level.

One of the centre's medical doctors, Teresa Clarke, commented that many of the Centre's patients are using Flor•Essence and incorporating it into their healing/recovery program because of its record of safety and potential benefits. A study conducted by the University of British Columbia found Flor•Essence to possess powerful anti-oxidant properties. For example, one molecule of vitamin C or vitamin E destroys one free radical, whereas one molecule of Flor•Essence destroys 14 free radicals.
Clinical research from the Russian Ministry of Health revealed Flor•Essence helps boost the immune system, balance critical hormones and blood sugar levels as well as being an effective treatment for chronic gastrointestinal ailments. Herbal medicinal tea is still used by 80 percent of the world's population, serving as its primary form of health care. In Germany, medicinal teas require a prescription and in China they are frequently given alongside prescription drugs.

A child's body surface makes up a greater proportion of her overall weight than an adult's, which means children face a much greater risk of dehydration. Although it's a common indicator of possible dehydration, thirst may not be the first sign your child is dehydrated. Thirst doesn't arrive until a child has lost 2 percent of her body weight as sweat.
Make sure your child consumes plenty of water before engaging in activities during hot weather and takes frequent water breaks, even if she doesn't feel thirsty.

You need to have a proper balance of enzymes and friendly bacteria in your digestive system to keep the rest of your body running at its best. Constipation, gas, yeast infections, ulcers, irritable bowel and low energy are just some of the ailments connected with digestive health. The food we eat must be broken down efficiently. Enzymes take apart the food we eat, breaking it down into a liquid or paste-like texture and then turning it into smaller molecules that build our cells, tissues and organs.
Friendly bacteria are also essential to good health. They can inhibit yeast infections, E.coli and other unfriendly bacteria. Poor dietary habits and antibiotics all have a negative impact on bacterial balance in the body.
We realize women have certain health needs that differ from men. We've put front and centre a selection of quality products for women's health and beauty requirements.

Palm berries help with prostate problems
 |
Four out of five men will be affected by changes to the prostate gland. An enlarged prostate can cause frequent and painful urination. But berries from a small, low growing palm called Saw Palmetto offer a natural way to curb the symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate. Flora's Saw Palmetto extract is standardized to 85%-95% fatty acids. This is the potency that has proven effective in clinical trials. Our Saw Palmetto also includes zinc and vitamin B6, which help improve urologic symptoms and possess anti-inflammatory and immunostimulant properties. And you only need to take one capsule a day. |
One of the most common misconceptions in the health world is that all fat is bad for you. Not true. Essential fatty acids (EFA's) are necessary for good health and proper levels need to be maintained. EFA's come in several types called omega fats: omega 3 and omega 6 for example, and these must be balanced in the correct ratio for optimum health. Science shows people who regularly consume adequate amounts of EFA's enjoy the benefits of more energy, stamina, concentration, better mood and healthier skin. Summer is a time when we think lean and light for meals – but don't forget to maintain a healthy intake of EFA's. Udo's 3•6•9 Oil Blend is the perfect solution. With the same benefits as fish oil, Udo's blend is completely vegetarian. Try mixing it with your favourite salad dressing. You get the optimal ratio of essential fatty acids in a great tasting oil.
