HOW GINGKO BILOBA CAN HELP CIRCULATION.
Do you have good blood circulation? Or are you one of the many people who search the internet to find a way to optimise your circulation and blood flow? Every month, around 100,000 Irish men, specifically, search the net for information about blood pressure. Irish people generally carry out 28,000 monthly searches for ‘blood flow’ and ‘blood circulation.’ In addition, 18,000 individuals per month put ‘cold hands and feet’ in the search field. This annoying health complaint is often a sign of poor blood flow.
Many people who look for solutions stumble across ginkgo biloba – with good reason.
Good blood circulation is essential
The blood carries oxygen and nutrients to all the different tissues and organs, which is why good blood circulation is so vital. The more blood reaches the different parts of your body, the better – not just for supporting body functions but also for keeping your hands and feet warm and helping you to stay comfortable. Extract made from the ginkgo biloba leaves can help with this process because of its effect on the circulatory system. Even though the remedy is completely natural, it is listed as a traditional herbal medicinal license in Ireland (THMP), available over the counter in pharmacies only.
Is your brain getting enough oxygen?
The active compounds in ginkgo biloba – the flavonoids, ginkgolides, and bilobalides – also improve cerebral blood flow. The brain alone accounts for approximately 20 percent of the body’s total oxygen consumption, so you can easily imagine how an improved blood flow would benefit your brain. Ginkgo-Biloba Pharma Nord is Ireland’s only traditional herbal medicinal product used to alleviate the symptoms of poor blood flow in conditions such as cold hands and feet. The preparation is manufactured with high-quality raw materials, and is also standardised, which guarantees that each tablet contains exactly the same high amount of active ingredients. In one study, where British scientists compared Ginkgo-Biloba Pharma Nord with 17 other ginkgo biloba supplements, Pharma Nord’s product came out on top. Even though several of the competing products contained more ginkgo biloba extract, the effects of Pharma Nord’s product were better.
Other things you can do to improve your circulation
Exercise regularly. It strengthens your heart and helps it to pump blood to all parts of the body. Avoid smoking. It damages your heart and cardiovascular system. Try to eat a healthy and balanced diet which includes plenty of healthy fats and all the vitamins and minerals that help maintain cardiovascular health. Try your best to avoid stress. It is known to have a negative impact on both heart health and circulation.

MOTHER NATURE AND YOU.
by Alison McEvoy
A call to the hearth
Wise woman Amantha Murphy is a joy to listen to. You get the feeling of being immediately transported back to an older, simpler time. Her voice, her stories, carry you to a space around the hearth, where connection to the land, to the community, to the wisdom within, are live and vital forces pulsing through the heart of the human being.
Remembering your Roots
For Amantha, reconnecting into what may have been misplaced within begins with the roots – the ancestors. She tells wonderful stories about her own grandmother, a small lady with a big heart, the midwife of the community, who guided life both in and out of this world. Hers is an invitation to us all to get to know our roots. The lives and experiences of our ancestors created patterns of feeling, thinking, being and acting in them. These patterns were woven into their DNA and the ongoing flow of that DNA, to their children, and their children’s children and into you... this can so often be seen, through the simple act of children imitating the actions, and absorbing the attitudes, of their caregivers. We need to know our ancestors’ stories. To know who we are – so we can understand whose griefs, pains and hardships, whose joys, wonders and curiosities, are emanating out from within us. It was Amantha’s grandmother who first initiated her towards the path of the Seabhean – ‘for me this is “the traditional Irish path of the healing woman and seer”.’ Her book reveals the teachings she has gleaned from a lifetime of treading this path, allowing willing readers to “delve deeper within themselves...to become all that one is meant to be within the essence of their nature.”
Landmarks along the ‘Way’
Walking a conscious journey through life involves recognising the often silent, gentle communications which Life offers us, to guide us. Amantha remains consistently open to this guidance, listening, asking for clarification, responding to the call. It can sound complicated. However, it’s really rather simple. Where it leads you, is always where you need to be. The following story is how Celtic Soul Journeys began;
“I went to a psychotherapy conference in Killarney in 1995...There were many people from the US attending. I met some women who asked me to take them to the sacred sites upon the land and I panicked. I went into the bathroom, and turning inwards asked, “what do you want me to do, Great Mother, what do you want of me here?” In response I heard the words, “Bring them in pilgrimage”. I came out and said “Yes...” Thus the next phase of my journey began.”
Offerings
Amantha offers a variety of ways for you to access her work. Her book ‘The Way of the Seabhean’ finally emerged from its womb of creation this February. You can also walk with her through pilgrimage or have her enact rites of passage for you or your loved ones during times of transition or hardship. She offers teaching courses online and personal sessions, one to one. If you feel the call, remember to respond, and that on the other side of your response to the call of your soul, lies healing, reconnection and wholeness. Bless your way!

CONTRIBUTE YOUR TRUE SELF TO THE WORLD.
by Rachelle Hicks We are called this year to re-imagine the question, What is a good and valuable life for you?
This is an interesting question. You might be tempted to dive straight in with answers you haven’t ever really investigated. Or perhaps wondered if the answers are true for you, or if they are inherited and assumed.
Maybe you have investigated your values, and, if so, this year might be about deepening into this and continuing to build a life that is creative and inspiring. 2021 is a time for deeply pondering how we have transformed since last year, and in that pondering we have the opportunity to re-imagine a more authentic version of ourselves. This is a year for being vigilant about how we spend our time and attention, as this is a reflection of what we deem in life to be valuable. Since last year, have your priorities changed? Have you explored parts of yourself that you hadn’t tapped into before? Have you shed limiting beliefs, so as to ultimately embrace a higher expression of self-love? One major astrological theme this year is Saturn in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus. This juxtaposed pair are asking us to commit to what makes us unique. This is a year for deeply listening to those creative desires and following the whispers of your heart, even if there is no logical reason for doing so. It’s a year for breaking through limiting thought patterns that doubt your newly sprouting buds of creativity. As we consider our personal values, we are asked to be honest in our answer. We are asked to scrutinise each value on the list and ask ourselves; is this truly a value for me, or is it just something that I have been told is valuable by someone else?
A collective experience we will all have, in terms of questioning value, is around money. Money is an energy that is interpreted completely differently by everyone, yet it brings up such big feelings for us all. In our collective mind, there will be a tension to consider what money really is. What is the purpose of money? How is it being used in ways that are damaging, and how can we transform the energy of money into a more conscious concept? From what I’ve already written, you can tell that this is a year for questioning. You might not find the answers now, or even in the near future. But the nature of this questioning is meant to tease out any tangles of limitations holding you back from your true expression. The planet Uranus is saying that your unusual-ness is valuable. And Saturn is asking you to have some integrity around what makes you unique. As each of us focus on filling our own cups with joy, we find deep peace and freedom through the vantage point of our hearts. This is a year for embracing your individualism, so as to be a stronger contributor to the collective.
