publisher's letter There are so many incredible healing arts in practice. Some of them are ancient and have been practised for millennia gathering more and more research through the years. This issue brought to mind how many cultures practice healing as a part of daily life. In some cultures massage is woven into the texture of life as a standard ritual. In the South of India most people eat a diet based on Ayurveda which incorporates healing and digestive herbs in every meal. Chinese philosophy is based on preventative health and many people grow up drinking green tea with effective anti-oxidant activity. Taking responsibility for your health can be a liberating shift that strengthens your relationship with yourself. Not only that but learning healing techniques can change the way you feel on a daily basis. Simple innovations like having regular massage treatments, doing daily meditation or swapping salt for cayenne pepper or even doing deep belly breathing exercises, can improve your level of health. In the world we live in, with stress, pollution, denatured food, chemicals and preservatives every one of us needs to pay more attention to living a life of wellness. We hope we have inspired you to do that. Yours in health Dr Sean Gomes, Co-founder On the cover: THE STORY OF THE TREE We shot our cover at the tree ‘where healing flows’. Located in Kloof street at the Medi-Spa is a 400 year old wild fig tree with not only a majestic presence but with a healing disposition of its very own.

DR BOXALL’S SUTHERLANDIA & OLIVE LEAF COMBO - Lately two people close to me were diagnosed with cancer. Both of them lead healthy lifestyles and it has made me slightly paranoid that perhaps, I too, despite my healthy lifestyle could end up with a diagnosis like that. I spoke to Dr Boxall, who suggested a combination of Sutherlandia and Olive Leaf as an excellent preventative measure to boost immunity and fight anti-oxidants.

PUKKA TEA - I don’t always feel like drinking herb tea but Pukka teas have such incredible flavours – they use potent, vibrant and flavour-filled herbs and are truly delicious with therapeutic benefits to boot. My favourite is Pukka Love with organic rose, chamomile & lavender flowers. At the core of Pukka teas is the wisdom of Ayurveda, an ancient Indian philosophy with guidance and inspiration in the ‘art of living wisely.’ R56.95

Editor’s Choice

Find out what’s happening in your wellness community with workshops, retreats, therapies and more.

POLKA DOT 4 IN 1 ORGANISER - I use this quirky polka-dot carry all to hold all my healing lotions and potions. It has 4 different sections so it’s easy to find things. Inside I keep first aid essentials like Tea Tree Oil and supplements as well as mini versions of shampoo and body care for travelling. R179.95

JUME SOY WAX CANDLE ROSY ME - For ages, I didn’t realise you could burn these candles and scoop out the melted wax to use as a moisturiser or massage balm. Soy wax burns at a lower temp so the wax is deliciously warm, it smells gorgeous and spreads over your body like an oil (amazing on feet!). These candles have extra love, they are hand poured, have cotton wicks and pure essential oils plus being earth-friendly. Expect over 50 hours burn time (very romantic). R120

JUST PURE – it’s not just me, everyone who tries the Just Pure range gets hooked on the way it makes your skin feel. Its natural and organic profile has components like Frankincense, Cedarwood and Myrrh with regenerative, anti-ageing and anti-inflammatory qualities that feel healing and restorative. My favourites: the Natural Essential Face Balm & the Face Polisher. Essential Balm R160, Essential Face Polisher R125

MAROMA SPA HAPPY HEART KALKI BODY OIL - This is my biggest indulgence at the moment. I didn’t mean to, but by chance I tried a sample of this oil in store and promptly got addicted. I use it everyday after showering as a moisturizer, the oil seeps in immediately so it’s not sticky. I have to admit, I even carry it around in my bag. It has 100% natural fragrances and is steeped with ‘Happy Heart’ vibes. R170

ZOKU POP MAKER Popsicles have just become my most favourite healthy treat. Eating them reminds me of sandy summer days on the beach only, with the Zoku, I can make my own healthy variations. I am obsessed with making banana shapes in yoghurt. I have tried kiwi fruit, yoghurt and cherries, rice milk and carob chips, fruit juice and almonds. Yum, and it only takes eight minutes to freeze.

SWING CHAIR FROM THE GREEN LIVING SHOP This is definitely something to save up for. With its convenient stand alone frame you can use this chair inside or outside. Curl up with a book and spend a lazy hour reading. R2995

Natural News, an American report reveals that according to America's Phytonutrient Report: Women's Health by Colour, many women are not eating enough carotenoidrich fruits and, especially women younger than 45 years of age.

"Several servings a day of flavonoid-rich foods will help keep infections at bay, giving your immune system a boost and your cells a chance to rejuvenate."

‘In women, these organic pigments work to protect them from ovarian and breast cancers, and guard against heart disease, inflammation and eye disease among others. They are powerful immune system boosters that improve overall vitality.’

One of the most exciting discoveries of our time is that some foods can literally stop chemical changes that can lead to cancer.

Cinnamon appears to help the body metabolise sugar. This unusual quality comes from a USDA study involving diabetics. Eating as little as 1/4 to 2 teaspoons of cinnamon a day was found to reduce blood sugar levels and cut cholesterol from 10 to 25 percent.

he discovery of phytonutrients, has changed the way we think about foods. Phytonutrients are microscopic healing substances found in plant based nutrition. We don’t eat enough of them. To achieve good health and avoid disease, eat a variety of nutrient-rich foods on a regular basis, particularly those that together provide the full spectrum of phytonutrients. Carotenoids are the phytonutrients in fruits and vegetables that give them their unique everything you need to live life well

3 reasons

to eat more beans >

ZINC is readily available from food (one cup of lentils has 3 milligrams of zinc) but these tend to be foods more prevalent in Eastern rather than Western diets.

Other whole food sources of zinc: lima Beans

Two of the body’s main generals in the battle against infectious disease are Vitamin A: helping strengthen your body’s defence systems and Vitamin C: helping your immune system to attack.

Zinc deficiency can cause poor wound healing, skin rashes and white marks on nails.

Looking at vitamins:

Where do I get Vitamin A?

Healing Foods

did you know?

Common sources include; carrots, spinach, mustard greens, kale, yellow and orange squash. The vitamins in these foods keep mucous membranes soft and moist. Lining the nose, mouth, throat and other parts of the body, these membranes are your first line of defense against infections. As long as they are kept moist, they are able to trap viruses and other germs before they get into your system. The body also uses vitamin A to manufacture powerful enzymes that seek and destroy bacteria in the body.

3 in1

EAT MORE BEANS When you think of getting fibre, protein and anti-oxidants and you list wholegrains, meat and fruit; how about beans, they give all 3 in one. Beans are close to a miracle food. Chinese medicine used them in all sorts of healing remedies including alcoholism, food poisoning, edema, high blood pressure, diarrhea, laryngitis, kidney stones, rheumatism, to name some. They lower cholesterol, regulate blood sugar and insulin production, promote digestive health, and are said to protect against cancer. The phytochemicals found in beans have been shown to protect cells from cancerous activity by slowing tumor growth and inhibiting further growth of cancer cells. Harvard research shows that women who ate beans at least twice a week were 24 percent less likely to develop breast cancer. Other studies show that beans actively reduce the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and colon cancer.

Where do I get Vitamin C?

Beans have loads of antioxidants especially (red beans, red kidney beans, and pinto beans) They contain fibre, protein, and iron as well as tryptophan known to improve mood, help with sleep and regulate appetite. Most beans have potassium, magnesium, vitamin B1 and B2, and vitamin K.

(aka ascorbic acid)

Eat a colourful array of fruits and vegetables; oranges, broccoli, lemons, apricots, plums, grapes and naartjies. Their healing power lies in strengthening your body’s germ-killing cells. Of all the minerals, zinc is one the most important for a strong immune system. Sadly, most western diets are completely devoid of zinc. Zinc deficiency can lead to a drop in infection-fighting white blood cells, increasing your of risk of contracting disease.

Let food be your medicine

This advice comes from Hippocrates, an icon considered as the father of Western medicine. He lived from 460 BC to 377 BC and his advice is still widely quoted today. So many people who change their diets notice that most of their ailments disappear. I’m talking about headaches, bloatedness, lethargy, aches and pains, poor digestion and even depression. Simply eating more fresh vegetables, fruit, sprouts, grains, wholefood and cutting out bad fats, processed flour, sugar and caffeine drinks can revolutionise the way you feel. Some of us have food intolerances or allergies and do better on a wheat, gluten and lactose free diet. You may want to experiment and see if any of the typical allergens are a possible culprit in your diet. Another thing to watch is hunger. When we don’t supply enough nutrition to our bodies, our brains tell us we are still hungry making us overfed and undernourished. Good food will alleviate excessive hunger pangs and guide you towards the right weight.

NEW Wellness organic spices Make spices a daily ritual by adding life and vitality to all your meals. Spices can greatly enhance digestion, can help metabolism, increase energy and can also be highly curative. Rather than limiting them to stews and curries, add them to smoothies, breakfast and desserts as well.

Wellness organic quinoa

All you do is add one portion of flakes to 2 portions of boiling water, add a dash of salt and simmer for 5 minutes. Keep stirring. Replace some of the water with dairy, soy or rice milk for an extra delicious taste.

Ginger is known to help with digestion and is used extensively for morning sickness. Ginger can be made into a tea, used in cooked dishes like stews, curries and stirfry or eaten with fruit salads. It is also said to clean the blood. Try juicing a square of ginger with apples for a great zingy flavour.

Gluten Free Flapjack Mix

Remember when Granny used to make flajacks, the warming aroma coming from the kitchen, the anticipation of wonderful hot comfort food straight off the pan, how they were soft and spongy and the syrup melted on them and drizzled off the sides. Things were different then, somehow everyone ate puddings and confectionary every day and didn’t get fat. There was enough time to mix flour and butter and everything together, the pantry was always full. Now we are much more rushed, we don’t have time to bake and health and nutrition is much more important. Yet, the comfort value of home baked foods hasn’t lost its nurturing and heart warming appeal. We realise the value of sitting around a table with loved ones and sharing a delicious treat. That’s why our gluten free premix flapjacks are the perfect solution. Save time, don’t worry about all the different ingredients, don’t even worry about the health aspect, everything has been thought out for you.

president of Yo San University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in California says, “There is a synergistic relationship in all the organs.” Ten organs are described in five different categories of: fire, earth, metal, water and wood called the Five Phase Theory which is based on the premise that each organ either nourishes or inhibits the proper functioning of another organ in the same way that basic elements act on each other. Ni says: “The Chinese have, for thousands of years, watched how things worked around them in order to understand why things happen, why things transform from one thing to another. They used this conceptual model and applied it to the human body and found it really works well.”

DIAGNOSIS:

TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE Traditional Chinese medicine has been used for over three thousand years and at least one third of the world uses one or more of its therapeutic interventions.

t is a complete system of medicine that addresses many different aspects of the individual. It uses herbs, acupuncture, food therapy, massage, therapeutic exercise and methods like cupping and moxibustion. Its approach to healing is different from modern Western medicine as it looks for the underlying causes of imbalances and patterns of disharmony in the body.

UNIQUE & INDIVIDUAL: Every individual patient is regarded as absolutely unique and no one cure is the same as another. Rather than treating the disease condition it treats the individual.

FOCUSED ON PREVENTION: Chinese medicine takes a proactive approach in treating tendencies for disharmony, before waiting for disease symptoms to appear.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner When assessing health the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner will look at a series of personal and environmental factors like mood, temperament, activity level, food, drugs, weather, the season and personal circumstances. Practitioners everything you need to live life well

encourage patients to employ lifestyle practices that support their therapeutic processes – this might include diet, rest, relaxation, and stress reduction. The body is described in similar ways to the natural world using elements like wind, heat, cold, dryness and dampness. Life energy or Qi is recognised as an important component of the functioning of the body. Qi is said to move through pathways or meridians in the body. A healthy body will have an abundance of Qi moving through the meridians and organs and when there is a blockage of Qi, illness can occur. Dr Maoshing Ni, D.O.M, Ph.D, L.Ac, vice

Unlike Western medicine that uses diagnostic procedures like blood tests, X-rays and endoscopy or explorative surgery, Chinese medicine uses noninvasive diagnostic methods. One of these is pulse diagnosis, where the pulse at wrists and sometimes abdomen and pressure points is felt to help assess the strength of the Qi, the lymph glands and bodily fluids and see how these are affecting the organs. Another is determining the state of health by the complexion, demeanour and body language, the colour and markings on the tongue, the strength and tone of the voice. Information about body odour, excretions and breath is also valuable information for the practitioner as are symptoms, medical history, diet, medication.

PRESCRIPTION: After diagnosis prescriptions might contain one or many different directives. Herbs can be in their raw form or made up into tinctures, tablets, powders and other forms. Acupuncture uses special needles placed in specific points along the meridian to correct blockages and rebalance the flow of energy through the body. Moxibustion is the burning of herbs on or above a specific point on the meridian. Massage can work deeply on tissues and include manipulation and acupressure. Qigong is therapeutic exercise that is recommended for stress reduction, mood balancing and prevention. It also creates body awareness. Lifestyle information is also included. visit wellnesswarehouse.com for a comprehensive guide to health

A REVIVAL IN CUPPING

Healing is your birthright By InnerlifeSkills® Master Coach Glenn-Douglas Haig

Cupping is an ancient healing technique used in many healing traditions like Chinese Medicine and Unani-Tibb (Greco- Arabic Medicine). Even hieroglyphics from the ancient Egyptians show pictures of cupping in use. Cupping is used to remove toxicity, congestion and inflammation from the body. Circular shaped cups are placed on the skin with a vacuum that forms an airtight seal. Cupping has relaxation and therapeutic benefits. It lifts toxins and impurities, increases circulation and brings nutrient rich blood and oxygen to the affected area. It works on excess and deficient conditions. Being non-invasive and relaxing, patients often fall asleep during treatment. Typically a cupping mark remains on the skin for a few days following treatment. The extent of the mark is an indication of the level of stagnation and release of toxins in the individual. Cupping therapy is suitable for adults and children. Cupping Therapy has been used to successfully treat health issues on its own or in combination with other treatments: GENERAL PAIN RELIEF: arthritis, joint pain, inflammation, stiffness, sciatica, RESPIRATORY COMPLAINTS: respiratory complaints (asthma, sinusitis, cough) EAR NOSE THROAT: earache, congestion, tonsillitis, influenza; SKIN CONDITIONS: eczema, psoriasis, insect bites, boils, circulatory problems and cellulite. DIGESTIVE COMPLAINTS: constipation, heartburn, indigestion and irritable bowel syndrome. NERVOUS SYSTEM: headaches, migraine, epilepsy, anxiety, stress, panic attacks, nervous tension. DETOXIFICATION: It draws wastes and impurities from the blood, underlying organs and the skin. Cupping can assist in weight loss if accompanied by correct diet and exercise. For more information on cupping contact Dr Maroula Lambis on Cell: 082 656 1010 or Email: drlambis@gmail.com

Healing is not something you put off until you go to a clinic or hospital or doctor, but a natural part of everyday living. The problem is, most of us do not give ourselves the time, nutrients, sleep, love or exercise we need to heal on a daily basis, so the inevitable toxins, mental fatigue and physical imbalances grow stronger until they manifest as dis-ease or emotional pain. Too late! Now our systems have to work twice as hard to keep the daily healing going, and to fight the added battle of addressing the symptoms of our imbalance. Let’s lose the idea that healing is only for the sick or broken. I have a prosthetic leg, which is made of titanium, carbon fibre and sprung steel, with a knee made of even more advanced spaceage materials – costing twice as much as my car! This knee lasts about five years before it literally crumbles to pieces. I don’t run, I keep my walking down to a minimum and yet five years is all the mileage I get. Now imagine how much healing our bodies must do each day to last us 70 – 80 years? Imagine the miracle required to cleanse and calm our minds from the daily stresses and strains, toxic thoughts and polluted atmospheres we often find ourselves in? Imagine NOT giving yourself the chance to heal every day? Healing does not imply we are broken; it means we are living life to the fullest, rising up to our full potential and honouring the bodies and minds we have been blessed with. It is a natural part of living and we owe it to ourselves to ensure daily healing in whatever way we can. This will help to avoid the crumbled knees or hurtful outbursts at loved ones, that result from the daily neglect of self. Shift your mindset to include a dose of daily healing and you’ll walk a lot further, smile more often and love a lot deeper.

KNOW THYSELF, HEAL THYSELF A lifetime of getting to know yourself isn’t enough to uncover all the amazing systems and workings of the body and mind, not to mention our natural spiritual aspect. All the significant philosophers stress the importance of knowing the self. When you do this and spend time with yourself you automatically develop a motivation to care more. Natural healing treats the individual and takes all aspects of the person into account including things like state of mind, lifestyle preferences (sleep diet, habits, exercise, pace etc), support system, current circumstances, family history, temperament and outlook believing all these things are important considerations when devising treatment.

A Chinese herbal medicine formula with the original name of Suan Zao Ren Tang meant to nourish the blood, clear heat and calm the mind.

SWITCH OFF NOISE

Microwaves that ping, fridges that hum loudly, a neighbours lawn mower and even very low level white noise can up the levels of stress hormone epinephrine by 30 percent in comparison to no noise. Limit the noises that intrude your space, move or replace noisy appliances, set phones and beeps to sounds you like or mute them. If there are renovations going on and you have no choice, layer the unpleasant noise with music, wind chimes or birdsong. If it’s highly pervasive (a power tool) put on your headphones and set your I-Pod to ambient. You can also actively bring calming sounds into your home with a water feature (test the noise level of the pump before you do).

growing body of research called ‘sensory science’ is validating the use of tactile and sensory stimulus to enhance the way you feel.

It’s very often a no-brainer, if your house is filled with unfinished projects and clutter, every time you walk in your front door you will be assailed with things you need to do and piles of unresolved problems. Whether you are conscious of it or not, this creates a substantial level of stress. Colour is another factor, if the colours in your home clash, it resonates internally and you will feel a sense of conflict. This can spark arguments with the people you live with. Assess the everything you need to live life well

It should feel like a relaxing sanctuary that is both nourishing and nurturing. Anything less might require some intervention from you.

4 tips for a

healing home>

Smell is the most under rated and underutilised sense, yet is powerful in its ability to boost your mood and your health. Do more than simply wearing perfume; keep your home infused with heavenly fragrances. Choose natural aromas above artificial. Keep lighting scented candles, fill up your aroma burner regularly or light incense. Drop oil into your bath; add it to face creams, spray bed linen and pillows with linen fragrance. In a Rutgers University study, it was determined that flowers have a long lasting positive effect. Dry petals and make your own potpourri, keep it fresh by topping it up with aroma oil. Jasmine is especially uplifting and will boost mood and lower anxiety levels. Cinnamon and spices, home baking and vanilla are also smells that create feelgood homely feelings.

CREATE EMPTY SPACES

Space is much more peaceful than clutter. It takes practice and a certain mindset

to clear out and dump excess stuff but once you get the hang of it, it becomes addictive. It is liberating and energizing. People who have lost everything in a fire or other circumstances, after the initial shock often feel light and free. If you aren’t ready to let go of things yet, put stuff you don’t use into a box and a year later you might find you have never needed to go into the box and can easily let go. The mind more easily creates possibilities and opportunities from clean spaces. Storage boxes are fabulous for making spaces look neater.

ADD TACTILE TEXTILES

Fabrics like corduroy and fleece evoke feelings of contentment. Make sure the furniture around you feels good against your body. Have soft cushions and comfortable spaces. In winter, soft cotton throws and blankets are a source of comfort. Stay away from synthetic fibres. Handmade décor items also carry energy and love that bring in positive vibrations. Use paint that is natural and non-toxic and keep bio-degradable, earth friendly cleaning solutions.

Sharni Quinn explores some of the healing disciplines that achieve this and offers some tips for healing using these movement forms.

If everything is interconnected how then can we truly heal if we feel separated from ourselves and our world? To truly heal one needs to heal body, mind and soul - and heal completely from the inside out. Eastern wisdom speaks of the body’s ability to heal itself, especially through practices like Tai Chi and Yoga. These ancient healing arts provide restorative benefits to the body. Using controlled movements, breathing techniques, meditation and

It entails going internally learning and listening to your body and its subtle messages to bring about health and balance, not only on the mat, but in your daily life as well.

Always remember, the practice of Yoga is about healing the self, using the ahimsa, non-violence philosophy and honoring the physical body’s abilities and limitations. When we are at a point of ill health or dis-ease, or when dealing with stress-related disorders, Yoga and Tai Chi can be particularly helpful. Bear in mind, although these ancient healing techniques can bring you great benefits, if you have a serious medical condition, consult your doctor and practice with a qualified Yoga or Tai Chi therapist.

We asked wellness ambassador Dr Jacqui Davies her philosophy to living life well? I believe in treating myself the way I like life to treat me.... with a lot of gentleness, kindness, passion, balance and joy. These all add up to allowing me to Love my Life a lot more. Life is so busy nowadays we expect ourselves to be superhuman and end up being really hard on ourselves. I try to make sure my life is a balanced in all aspects, making room for the superfood smoothie and the carrot cake, the meditation retreat and the fabulous evening of dancing, and the great time with friends, along with the quiet time to simply read or play my music. The more I allow myself to just be kind and listen to what my body, mind and soul need – the more I simply Love my life. Dr Jacqui Davies is medical practitioner and founder of the Wellbeing Way.

Dr Wilson recommends Vitamin A and C and the use of simple herbs such as echinacea and astragalus, as much safer and often equally effective alternatives. Besides herbal alternatives there is also homeopathy.

Homeopathy is a holistic system of treatment based on the principle that substances that produce symptoms of sickness in healthy people will have a curative effect when given in very dilute quantities to sick people who exhibit those same symptoms. Remedies are believed to stimulate the body's own healing processes. The remedies are safe as they exist in highly diluted measures, they are cost effective, and are tailored to the individual. Homeopathic medicine is recommended for children.

esearch has shown that, although life saving in some cases, antibiotics have side effects that need to be considered before use.

This is especially relevant for children with developing immune systems. Dr Lawrence Wilson, author of Beyond Antibiotics points out some of the cautions relating to antibiotics and suggests looking at alternatives.

TWO NOTABLE SIDE EFFECTS OF ANTIBIOTICS One is the destruction of beneficial bowel flora.“Like pesticides, antibiotics kill good bugs along with the bad ones.”

Another is immune suppression. “This may sound odd, as the purpose of antibiotics is presumably to help the immune response. However, evidence indicates that people treated with antibiotics have more repeat infections than those who are not treated. This is especially true of children whose ear infections are treated with antibiotics.”

veryone wants gorgeous healthy looking skin. As the largest organ in the body, the skin performs many essential functions and often mirrors the health of the body. Watching your diet, keeping hydrated and exercising regularly are the key elements to a healthier skin. A lot of common skin problems can result from allergies, environmental factors and hormone imbalances. Protect against these conditions with oils, creams and supplements.

Nowadays, honey is used fairly extensively in skincare and beauty products. Honey is a great natural antiseptic, as it has both antibacterial and antifungal properties. You can use it on wounds, burns and skin prone to breakouts. Studies also show that raw honey has antioxidant properties that can help prevent premature skin ageing. Look for 100% pure organic honey – the effectiveness of the product depends on the quality.

Aloe vera gel

Here are a few amazing, natural skin healers you can use to treat or prevent a range of skin conditions:

Tea tree oil

NATURAL SKIN BALMS by Janine Garner

everything you need to live life well

This essential oil has anti-microbial properties, making it a reliable antiseptic and a bathroom cabinet ‘must-have’. When applied to the skin, it starts working immediately to heal skin conditions and blocks the growth of new bacteria. Tea tree oil has been proven to heal blemishes and help improve acne. It also has proven antifungal properties and can be used to treat athlete's foot. One hundred percent pure tea tree oil is readily available, bear in mind it should be diluted before use.

Chamomile

The best way to protect your hair from heat. While this herb is most well known for its calming abilities, especially when taken as a tea, it also has the ability to accelerate the healing process and has anti-inflammatory properties. Chamomile can be used to soothe skin rashes (like eczema), ease minor burns, reduce skin inflammation and help prevent bacterial infections. Apply cooled chamomile tea bags to your skin or use it in lotion form.

Honey

For centuries this sweet, golden substance has been used both as a food and medicine.

Aloe vera gel has anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties and is suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin. Use it to treat sunburn, eczema, minor burns, to soothe insect bites and help reduce redness from acne. With a rich supply of Vitamin C and E, it is often used as a natural moisturizer.

Rosehip oil

SKIN VITAMINS

Vitamin C can help skin with healing and is protective against cell damaging free radicals, like environmental pollutants and sun damage. Vitamin E promotes healing and can help prevent premature ageing. You can find Vitamin E in vegetable oils, nuts and seeds. Zinc can help prevent or reduce acne, as it limits oil production in the glands. You can get zinc from chicken, beef and salmon. B-complex vitamins work together to maintain a healthy skin and body. Taking a high-potency B-complex supplement daily will help the skin’s healing process.

your 'must have' product guide

THE POWER OF SMELL Our sense of smell is highly underrated believes members of the Olfactory Research Committee in England. Fragrances can actively change the way we feel and impart amazing healing attributes. Research shows certain smells have a distinct effect on the limbic system of the brain and impart a real sense of relaxation

or rejuvenation. Specific aromatherapy fragrances can relieve agitation in Alzheimer patients; can help with sleep in cancer patients; relieve menstrual cramps, while sandalwood is touted as an excellent oil for reducing anxiety. Combined with massage the oils have an even greater effect.

These relaxing and therapeutic bath salts are made from Namibian sea salt and essential oils. Ginger is cleansing and excellent for digestive disorders while mustard bath is highly relaxing and is great for fatigue, stressed muscles, colds and fevers. Antjies Bath Salt 1Kg Ginger Lime R41.95, Antjies Bath Salt 1Kg Mustard Bath R41.95 Available at all stores

‘Everything in nature bespeaks the mother. The sun is the mother of earth and gives it its nourishment of heart; it never leaves the universe at night until it has put the earth to sleep to the song of the sea and the hymn of birds and brooks. And this earth is the mother of trees and flowers. It produces them, nurses them, and weans them. The trees and flowers become kind mothers of their great fruits and seeds. And the mother, the prototype of all existence, is the eternal spirit, full of beauty and love.’ Kahlil Gibran

ANTI AGEING

MOISTURISERS

DOUBLE EFFECT CLEANSER MILK/TONIC 2 IN 1 - This creamy formula gently removes make-up and impurities, giving the face a fresh, toned-up feel. Because it contains no surface-active agents, it cleanses without impoverishing the skin’s lipidic layer. It is effective against free-radicals. DAY USE CREAM 50ML WITH SPF 18 - This cream is rich and has a deep, effective revitalising action that favours skin tissue renewal. It lessens the effects of the ageing process by compensating for the lack of nutrition typical of more mature skin. Further protection against sun damage is given with filters of arctic seaweed. TONING NIGHT CREAM - This cream’s specific texture tones up, nourishes and stimulates the skin’s vital functions during the night. Its components aid in reducing the appearance of wrinkles, toning and brightening the skin. It is specifically for use on face, neck and décolletage. LIFTING EFFECT SERUM - Specifically designed to tone up mature skins, this serum visibly smoothes wrinkles and keeps skin tissue elastic and resistant to the ageing effects of the environment. TONING FLUID EYE AND LIP CONTOUR 30ML - The ideal product for nurturing the sensitive eye and lip contour area, it relaxes and tones the skin. It provides a triple action: removing excess liquids (draining), returns brightness to the skin (antishadow) and eliminates bags under the eyes (relaxing).

MOISTURIZING CREAM - Specifically created to assist skins that are prone to de-hydration, this cream leaves skin feeling soft and moisturised. It reconstructs damaged tissue and stimulates the skin’s metabolism with its powerful combination of Sandalwood, Philodendron and Malt. NOURISHING CREAM - A protective and preventative cream suitable for younger skins, this product also prevents de-hydration. Its anti-inflammatory and soothing action makes the skin velvety and controls breakouts. MOISTURIZING SERUM - This serum provides an intense boost of moisture to the skin, smoothing fine lines and reducing redness and irritation to the skin. Its re-generative action adds nutrition to the skin and has a brightening effect. MOISTURIZING CLEANSER MILK/TONIC 2 IN 1 - A gentle cleanser for dry and sensitive skins, it removes make-up and impurities without compromising the hydrolipidic layer of the skin. SENSITIVE SKIN CREAM 50 ML WITH SPF 18 - With natural UVA/ UVB protection filters, this cream is a barrier for the skin against the harmful effects of the sun. It also reduces the negative effects of cold and wind on the skin, and reduces reddening.

TARGETED PURIFIER PURIFYING CREAM 50ML - This cream purifies the skin and reduces oiliness by balancing sebum, giving it a silky feel. It is suitable to skin prone to breakouts and excessive greasiness.
