Success Story of the month: July 2011

Laurence B., 47, Biomedic Doctor, Biomedic Centre, Baker Street, July 2011

“I did the Bespoke Plus 7-days Weight Loss Detox Plan with Purifyne and am delighted with the results. Not only have I lost 4 kilos, but I feel clearer and lighter in my body and mind. This process has allowed me to “detox” from my cravings for sugar, my snacking at night and my addiction to chewing-gums! I am now more aware of what and how I eat. At no moment during the 7 days had I felt hungry or without a lack of energy, only the odd headache here and there and some irritability on the second day. So a truly positive experience to be recommended”

Natural remedies for headaches

Natural remedies for any type of headache could be a powerful weapon. Yet the vast majority of us reaches out for antibiotics and painkillers when it comes to headaches.
Before embarking on taking antibiotics and painkiller which, in turn, will damage your liver in the long-run, consider incorporating natural remedies (see below) into your daily diet. It is very often the case that all we need to eliminate headache is simple lifestyle changes, relaxation and elimination of certain food.
Common Triggers:

• Stress

• Food intolerances: refined carbohydrates, chocolate, sweets, dairy, caffeine, alcohol

• Blood sugar imbalance

• Body toxicity level

• Sleep deprivation

• Hormonal fluctuations (in women)

• Smoke

• Excess sun (or too little sun)

• Anxiety



Solutions:


De-stress: Stress is one of the most common cause for headache. Release stress by:

• Having a glass of red wine – ONE glass only

• Taking a nap

• Having a hot bath

• Exercising as it helps the flow of endorphins

• Having a massage: it offers double relief – physical and mental
Herbs:

Willow bark (was used to develop Aspirin in 1800s) contains Salicin – a chemical similar to aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) – that has pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects of the herb. The effect is slower than aspirin but it lasts longer.

Feverfew is an herb that acts by limiting the production of Prostaglandins, the brain chemicals responsible for contracting blood vessels. The contraction and expansion of the blood vessels are thought to cause the “pounding” of headaches. Feverfew tends to release the pain.

Acerola Cherry is a Latin American “super fruit” with high levels of Anthocyanins - anti-inflammatory similar to aspirin and ibuprofen – and are known for their headache relief quality.

Teas: Nettle, Feverfew and Camomile teas together

Magnesium-rich foods: Magnesium relaxes muscles and nerves. Foods with high source of magnesium include: Green and Sea vegetables, Avocados, Alfalfa sprouts, Millet, Brown rice, Quinoa, Soya, Hazelnuts and Watercress.

Hemp and Flax seeds: high in Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) that have an anti-inflammatory effect.

Oily fish: Salmon, Sardines, Mackerel – high levels of EFAs.
