Too many people are needlessly suffering from arthritic pain and not enjoying their favourite hobbies. There are many pain relievers available, however, many of them do not correct the root cause of arthritis and only "band-aid" the symptoms. Even worse, many of these pain relievers cause unwanted side effects, resulting in more health problems.
In Africa, there is a revered herb for the pain of arthritis (including rheumatoid arthritis) called Devil's Claw root. Healers in Africa and in Europe understand the use of this plant because it deals with the root cause of disease, which is, weak organs from toxic overload.
Many people suffering with arthritis have a history of poor digestion and elimination, high cholesterol, liver and gall bladder problems, kidney and bladder weakness, and blood sugar imbalances. High levels of uric acid in the blood from poor diet end up in the connective tissues of joints and cause irritation and swelling. The end result is the pain and swelling of gout and arthritis. |
| Pagosid is an extract of the Devil's Claw secondary roots which contain the most active ingredients. Taken daily, this extract will reduce the levels of uric acid in the bloodstream, nourish and support the liver, gall bladder, kidneys and pancreas and begin to harmonize the body systems. It also removes excess fluids from the inflamed joint area, allowing the connective tissues to relax and function effectively. As a result, it eliminates the "garbage" and congestion inside the body, helps chronic pain to subside and energy levels to return. |

Devil's Claw Soothing Cream can be applied externally as an anti-inflammatory to muscles and joints, for carpel tunnel syndrome, migraines/ headaches, sinus pain and sports injuries. |
| Frutin is a tasty chewable that contains lead-free dolomite with sorbitol and peppermint flavour.

When dealing with the blues, many people consider medication, but grapple with concerns about side effects. St. John's Wort has become the number one anti-depressant on the German Market because it is effective with no known side effects. In fact, it is now prescribed 8 times more than the drug Prozac. |

Flora St. John's Wort Oil is macerated in olive oil under 1000 hours of sunlight, and retains all the essential active ingredients. The unique preparation method increases the flavonoid contents calculated as quercetin and rutin. The pigment-intense oil helps in the areas of insomnia, seasonal affective disorder, nervousness, headaches and as an immune enhancer (antiviral). St. John's Wort oil can also be used externally on burns, shingles, sciatica, muscle pain and skin irritations. |
Noni, the stinky fruit, grows in the fertile volcanic soils of Hawaii and the Polynesian islands. It has been used traditionally for over 2000 years for rheumatism, chest colds and coughs, skin abscesses, boils, female discomforts and diarrhea. Modern science is confirming many of these traditional uses, and adding that Noni attacks abnormal growths (like cysts and tumours) through immuno-stimulatory effects.
Flora Noni is 100% pure. The fresh Noni is plantation grown and has a sharp, bitter taste while the fermented Noni is wild-harvested, has a mellower taste and is predigested for easier absorption by the body. Both are best consumed daily with pineapple or citrus juice. |

GUILDFORD, UNITED KINGDOM – Dyslexia is a fairly common condition which involves difficulties in learning to read and write, mirror reversals of letters and words, and poor short-term memory. Dyslexia is closely related to dyspraxia (problems with coordination and muscle control) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is estimated that about 10% of the populations of the United States and the United Kingdom suffer from dyslexia and 4% are severely affected. There was a 3-fold increase in the prevalence of learning disorders in the USA over the period 1976 to 1993 and 80% of the new cases involved dyslexia. |
| Dr. Jacqueline Stordy of the University of Surrey believes that dyslexia, dyspraxia, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder have one common denominator – a deficiency of long-chain fatty acids. She points to a study which found improvement in dark adaptation (a problem among dyslexics) after supplementation with 480 mg/day of docosahexaenoic acid (a main constituent of fish oil) for a month. Another study involving 15 dyspractic children found that supplementation with a proprietary mixture of tuna oil, evening primrose oil, thyme oil, and vitamin E for four months markedly improved their motor skills. The mixture provided 480 mg of docosahexaenoic acid, 35 mg of arachidonic acid, 96 mg of alphalinolenic acid, 80 mg of vitamin E, and 24 mg of thyme oil daily. Dr. Stordy concludes that long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid supplements may benefit children with dyslexia, dyspraxia, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and notes that large, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies are already underway to verify this hypothesis. |

If you are on the go and feeling drained, remember that vitamins are essential and must be replenished every day. Vitamin B's taken together as a B-complex, improves energy levels, nervous system function, red blood cell production and supports digestive muscles. A few symptoms of deficiency are: acne, constipation, high cholesterol, digestive upset, fatigue, loss of hair, and dry, rough skin.
| Research now shows that Vitamin E is a complex vitamin consisting of 8 different compounds (4 tocopherols and 4 tocotrienols). Most Vitamin E products contain one element only, alpha tocopherol. Science has proven that alpha tocopherol alone will not offer the full benefits of vitamin E for cardiovascular and skin health. The recently "revealed" tocotrienols are impressively 40-60% more potent as antioxidants than tocopherols. When choosing your E look for Flora Vitamin E 400 mixed rich in all the active components including 82 mg of rice tocotrienols and nonalpha mixed tocopherols. |

Echinacea is now a popular household immune booster for respiratory infections like colds, flu or bronchitis. When purchasing echinacea for yourself or family, it is important to consider the quality and potency of the product. How the echinacea was grown, extracted and handled will determine how powerful its effects are.
Salus Haus, a leading edge German supplement company, has developed a method of juicing and bottling raw, live, organic herbs within 3 hours of harvest. Echinacea, made this way, still contains its original active constituents that cannot be found in alcohol tinctures, tablets, capsules or teas.
Salus Echinacea juice can be used to fight infections (bacterial, viral or fungal), acne, boils, psoriasis, and as an external wound healer for bruises, cuts and ulcers. Echinacea is also an effective blood and lymphatic system cleanser.

Chances are, you or someone in your family, has a bottle of vegetable oil in the house. If the veggie oil in your home is colourless, odourless, and tasteless, in a plastic or clear glass bottle, you have damaged, unhealthy oil.
One of the easiest steps to great health is changing the oil in your home to expeller pressed, unrefined oils.
A few important pointers to follow:
• Only buy oils packaged in dark amber glass
• Do not cook with oil – instead, stir fry with water, wine or juice
• Poach instead of fry
• Add nutritional oils to all cooked foods as you serve them (stir into soups, stews, and use in place of butter on potatoes, veggies, etc.)
• Make your own salad dressings – pre-made dressings are usually loaded with chemically treated, non-beneficial oils |
Flora offers a wide range of plant oils that are pressed in a precisely controlled environment (light, heat and oxygen free) so that the oil's authentic colour, flavour and nutritional content are available. The oils are immediately bottled into non-reactive, nitrogen flushed, amber glass and no chemicals or preservatives are used.
Flora Flax Seed Oil is a good source of naturally occurring Omega 3 fatty acids. It also contains Omega 6 fatty acids, phytosterols, antioxidants, lecithin, carotenes, and vitamin E. Omega 3 fatty acids are known to be beneficial in the treatment of inflammation, high triglycerides, cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, weight loss and other degenerative diseases. Try flax oil on your next salad and savour the wholesome, nutty taste.
