Set your healing goals we help you achieve them

Skin/eczema/acne Someone just asked me what they could do for their son's acne. We start with hydration, digestion and diet. Again, even if we drink water it may not penetrate into the cells therefore the herbal water or "Smart Water" as recommended in the early writing is essential if we are running into problems with skin. Then we look at diet and digestion. Eating meals on time and not eating late at night. We want to give our digestive system a rest from 6 PM to 6 AM - this is when the body rests, rejuvenates and detoxifies. Especially we do not eat clogging foods after 6 PM - if we are young and have a strong digestive fire we might be able to handle heavy cheeses, burgers, fries, large beans, winter squash - all these foods clog our channels - but if you eat then in the evening - even a young healthy person will be put to the test to digest those foods to good product - this then puts a great deal of strain on our liver which takes our dumb food and turns it into i

Migraine headaches will be the topic for the next few posting as I have a few people asking or help in this area.

When you read this book you will develop a much deeper relationship with water. After air it is the second most important thing on our planet that keeps us alive. Without air we die. Without water we can survive a bit longer but ultimately we would die of dehydration. There are many people walking around in severe dehydrated conditions. Once of the best way to hydrate the body is with a simple herbal tea. Herbal water: 1 to 2 litres of boiled spring water - boil it for about 1 or 2 minutes and then add the following: 1/2 to 1 teaspoonful of Coriander seed, Fennel seed, Mar
