Why do I need a probiotic?
and especially this one?!
The source of your good health is your good gut health. A probiotic delivers a variety of gut microbes (bacteria) into your system that is most likely missing if you're having any gut health symptoms
Here are the top probiotic tips:
-
As well as quantity, you need a variety of strains and this brand has 15 strains at least where as supermarkets have only 1 or 2.
-
You need microbes that are from nature, not synthesised in a lab
-
You need your microbes alive and at a pH level that stomach acid can't destroy
-
Probiotics in capsules are freeze dried, they hydrate in your stomach but the capsule is eaten as food and this can destroy the microbes within.
-
The bacteria in this liquid supplement remain alive and therefore more readily available to get started on increasing your microbiome health.
-
Liquid probiotic starts when it enters your mouth, reducing the bad bacteria and increasing your oral health.

Why do I need red light therapy?
The near- infra read component in red light therapy heals at a cellular level. It reduces inflammation in joints and may revitalise your energy. From my experience it gave me more energy reduced visible inflammation and stiffness in my ankle and stopped my hot flushes. I can advise on how to use in treatments with me.
There is considerable studies now being done on the benefits of red light therapy including reducing / rejuvenating facial skin.
I suggest getting a flexible one that you can wrap around joints lay along the length of your spine or use for face/thyroid. You should wear eye protection when using over the face. You can buy a specific mask that also incorporates blue light therapy.
Why do I need a Haramaki?
Your kidneys are centred in your lower back and they are the controller of your body temperature; amongst 100s of other processes. If you feel extreme hot or cold it can be that your kidneys are under stress. If you regularly feel the cold or you have lower back pain then this maybe for you. Read further in my blog.
A Haramaki is handy if you garden and bend over a lot it protects your lower back from chills and muscular strains.
It's better to trap your own body warmth than introduce too much heat which can disperse your energy. It's a balancing act :)
Why do I need keep my back and feet warm in colder weather?
Following on from a Haramaki is introducing some very gentle warmth into the kidneys or energetic kidney meridian especially come the cooler months. I recommend this heat mat to most of my clients as it's so versatile to use around the house from bed to desk. Shoulders back or feet. I do have a toasty foot warmer under my desk for the winter as if you keep your feet warm you don't need the heating as high.
Why do I need to keep my liver clean?
Keeping your liver healthy puts you ahead of the optimal health game. Your liver is a filter that has over 500 daily processes to jeep your body in a great state. Most serious ill health starts when the liver is struggling.
I recommend a daily liver supplement* (see above) as well as additional support when need topically. I use these foot pads if I've over done it with alcohol especially around Christmas time. They may help reduce night sweats too (along with Microbz Detox). Castor oil pulling is an ancient ritual to help the liver - just a couple of drops in your belly button before bed. This has given me back deep sleep! Please ask if you're interested in the ebook I have on Castor oil.
I also take a daily liver supplement and once a year do a few day liver detox. I can explain this in treatments. In Chinese medicine we are obsessed with liver health!
Why does gentle vibration help?
Physical vibration loosens muscle tension and moves stuck fluids like lymph in the legs. To relieve neck and headaches sometimes gentle vibration warmth and a good dollop of Magnesium butter massaged in is all it takes.
If you suffer from heavy legs or tightness through the hips/gluts then a vibration plate may help you. You can lie with your legs on it or sit on it (ie. you don't have to stand on it). It has many ways to help relieve pain and tension however it also has a list of contra-indications so please research before using a vibration plate specifically.
Why do I need Magnesium topically?
Magnesium as an oral supplement is extremely beneficial for your nervous system and brain health. It is the number one mineral deficiency in the world so if you're not taking Magnesium and you have sleep or anxiety issues start now - see supplements guide above.
For muscular issues - tightness cramp or dull aching applying Magnesium butter directly over the affected area can offer relieve very quickly. You can purchase Magnesium oil from Microbz . For my clients I make a strong Magnesium butter (which I use in the treatments when necessary). I also have a blend with CBD to combat sharp nerve pain alongside muscular issues.
