Springtime Energy

SEASONAL ALLERGIES
Do you have seasonal lung or sinus infections with itchy, watery eyes and nose?
Do you have dark circles under your eyes that don't go away with sleep?
Are you taking over the counter drugs for allergies year after year?

There is a natural way to deal with seasonal allergies!

Strengthen: You will want to strengthen your body's ability to defend against those pesky spring pollens and grasses. I suggest you take Nature's Sunshine SUPER SUPPLEMENTAL. It is a full spectrum vitamin and mineral supplement that will feed your entire body so that it has more energy to function at optimum capacity.

Cleanse: When the pollens are heavy in the air, we breathe them into our respiratory systems where they can accumulate. I suggest nasal cleansing using a NETI POT with distilled water and sea salt which aids the body in releasing a build-up of pollen-laden mucous from the sinuses. Also, Nature's Sunshine ALJ neutralizes allergens by nutritional means while encouraging the body to gently cleanse itself. Both will soothe irritated tissues so that you can breathe easier.

Build: It is important to build the body's ability to control inflammation and defend against allergens. Nature's Sunshine HISTABlock does just that with added antioxidant support to strengthen the mast cells which are responsible for inflammation.

Eliminate: Adrenal weakness is a major cause of allergies so it is important to work on the root of the problem. I suggest Nature's Sunshine ADRENAL SUPPORT to provide targeted nutrition with the intent to eliminate your suffering this season and the next.

Go to my product website: www.mynsp.com/murphystouchhealth to purchase the recommended Nature's Sunshine products. They are high quality products for your entire family.

For severe cases, call me on (530) 626-6789 for an appointment. I carry professional grade holistic medicines that can help with the more chronic conditions of seasonal allergies.

Take control this spring, start your natural approach and enjoy the season!

Winter Energy

During the winter some of us seem to be plagued by a seasonal form of depression. It shows up for each of us differently but some common symptoms are; lack of energy, increased sleep, carbohydrate cravings, and afternoon slumps with little energy. With the latest forecast of rain for weeks, we may be experiencing these symptoms for the first time or are feeling even more depressed than usual.

Causes of seasonal depression are unknown but are related to the lack of ambient light and low vitamin D. Getting full spectrum lighting may be a challenge unless you have access to a device. But, you can purchase "daylight" lightbulbs from any hardware store and sit with it shining on you for short periods of time. Regarding, vitamin D, get some for your local health foods store or http://mynsp.com/murphystouchhealth take some as directed on the bottle. Eat foods high in Vitamin D, as well. Those being; eggs, mushrooms, spinach, potatoes, milk or soymilk with added vitamin D, fish especially salmon and beef kidneys/liver. If you want to start your day with a Vitamin D boost try Kellogg's All Bran with Extra Fiber and soymilk with added Vitamin D.

For those energy slumps through-out the day try "Ear Unrolling" Here's how;

Turn your head to the left and then to the right.
Notice any discomfort.
Start unrolling both ears from the top to the bottom while slightly tugging.
Do this 3 times.
Remember to breathe deeply.
Assess your shift by turning your head to the left and then to the right.

Most people find that they have increased energy and that if there was any neck pain it is lessened. You can't hurt yourself by doing "ear unrolling" but do take out your earrings if you wear them so you can get the full effect!

Remember our thoughts direct our moods, so be kind to yourself and know that if God takes care of the birds, He takes care of you too!

Energy 2010

Happy New Year! Cheers!

It seems to be a common practice to "think" about a New Year's resolution these days but not really make one. We all have a desire for things to be different from 2009, don't we?

If we are reluctant to make a resolution to loose weight, how about one to be successful in business? Or one to get organized? Any change should not overwhelm you like a goal to reduce credit card debt by $50,000 this year. How about a commitment to pay an additional $500 a month towards your credit card debt?

Keeping resolutions real can just about guarantee success. So when you are reflecting on 2009 and setting your direction for 2010, keep it doable, achievable and fun! Remember to tell someone or publish it on your social network. Having someone holding you accountable is a formula that will assure more success.

If you really desire to achieve your resolution, try BioFeedback. I have the tool, you just need to make the resolution and call for an appointment. It is added energy to not only meet your goal but exceed it. Make 2010 a positive year with the changes you desire! (especially since it started with a Blue Moon!)

PS If you call and make an appointment by January 16, 2010, I will discount your first appointment by 25%!
