FUN BODY FACTS . . . DID YOU KNOW ???
WALKING!
The feet account for one quarter of all the human body's bones. You may not give your feet much thought, but they are home to more bones than any other part of your body. How many? Of the two hundred or so bones in the body, the feet contain a whopping 52 of them.
You use 200 muscles just to take one step!
Depending on how you divide up muscle groups, just to take a single step you use somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 muscles. That's a lot of work for the muscles, considering most of us take about 10,000 steps a day. {Okay, here's a personal question, which I am certain many of you are also asking: if I work them sooo hard EVERY day, how come they are not "tight," "ripped," "lean" and "poppin" . . . huh???? <;o))}

YOU ASKED ME . . . I got a call recently, from a woman who is a
 hard working, holding down 2 jobs, who asked me what to do about her . . . . tired, achy feet.
Some Herbs from the Kitchen to treat
YOUR TIRED ACHY FEET
If your foot pain is due to some kind of strain, sprain, cut, or soreness, sage can be used to get relief from the discomfort. It can also reduce foot odor.
- Gently rub a handful of sage leaves between your hands and then put them in a pot with a little less than one cup of apple cider vinegar.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for five minutes.
- Soak a cotton cloth in the warm solution and then hold it on the affected area.
- Repeat the process several times.
 | I purchased one exactly like this for less than $20 . . . and use it AT LEAST once a week ~ the relief was phenomenal! |
__________
Essential oils such as eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil and rosemary oil will help soothe tired, sore and aching feet.
- Mix four drops each of eucalyptus oil and rosemary oil and two drops of peppermint oil in hot water.
- Soak your feet in it for about 10 minutes.
Next time you suffer from foot pain, simply try any of these natural remedies. However, if the pain is unbearable and does not improve, see your doctor.
__________
When I used the foot bath, I would boil my preferred herbs in a pan on the stove, steep it for 20min or more (sometimes I would boil the herbs before I left for work and let it steep all day, then warm it up in the evening), then pour the herb water into the foot bath. To strengthen the bones, I used comfrey root, and plantain and or mullein to eliminate pain.
__________
Dandelion is also considered an effective diuretic and may be helpful in removing excess fluids that form in the ankles and feet because of the edema that develops during kidney disease. Dandelion greens can be eaten in salads or cooked, or a tea can be made from the dried herb. {Dandelion should not be used by people taking pharmaceutical diuretics, unless under the supervision of a health practitioner. People with diabetes should use caution when taking dandelion, because it may reduce the blood sugar-lowering effects of their medications.}
__________
Vinegar is used in various treatments and can help with foot pain due to sprains or strains as it reduces inflammation.
- Fill a tub with hot water. Add two tablespoons of vinegar in it. You can also mix sea salt or Epsom salt in it. If you do not have any of these, just use table salt. Soak your feet in it for about 20 minutes.
- Alternatively, put a mixture of equal amounts of vinegar and water in two containers. Use cold water in one and hot water in the other. Soak a towel in the hot mixture, squeeze out the excess liquid and then wrap it around your foot. Leave it wrapped for five minutes. Do the same using the cold mixture. Repeat the whole process at least three or four times daily.
__________
Epsom salt can help soothe your feet, giving you instant relief from foot pain. Combining heat and Epsom salt, which is primarily magnesium, works well to relax the feet and ease pain.
- Put two to three tablespoons of Epsom salt in a tub of warm water.
- Soak your feet in the tub for 10 to 15 minutes.
- The salt can make your feet dry, so apply some moisturizer after soaking them.
__________
Ginger:
Studies have shown ginger to relieve the pains of arthritis. The enzyme zingibain found in ginger contains anti-inflammatory properties, and can be effective when taken as a tincture, capsule, as a tea or even fresh. You can receive a medicinal dose of ginger simply by preparing food containing the herb.
__________
Chamomile is another herb that's been used for centuries to remedy pain and inflammation: an effective way is to soak your feet in chamomile tea to treats corns and calluses, and even foot wounds and pain caused by diabetes can benefit from chamomile.
__________
Clove oil is highly effective in treating headaches, joint pain, athlete's foot, nail fungus and also foot pain as it boosts circulation. - For quick relief, gently massage your aching feet with clove oil. This will stimulate blood flow and relax your muscles. You can massage your feet and heels with clove oil several times a day.
- If you have sensitive skin or a cut, dilute three drops of clove oil with one teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil and then massage your feet with it.
__________
Cayenne pepper is a rich source of capsaicin, which is known to relieve muscle aches and pains, arthritis, muscle strain, lower back pain, and even aching feet. - If your feet ache when they get cold, sprinkle some cayenne pepper in your socks before putting them on. This will help keep your feet warm.
- Another treatment is to add one-half teaspoon of cayenne pepper powder to half a bucket of hot water and soak your feet in it for a few minutes. This will have a soothing effect and give you relief from pain.
- Cayenne can be applied externally to relieve chronic joint and muscle pain. There are currently two FDA-approved drugs--Zostrix and Axasain--that contain cayenne and are used to treat diabetic foot pain and burning foot syndrome.
Before I was an herbalist, I learned reflexology, and used to massage the feet of many of the students after martial arts class. Here is the basic definition of "reflexology" . . . . - "A natural alternative healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet, hands and ears with zones in related areas, that correspond to every part, gland and organ of the body. Through the application of pressure on these reflex points or areas (sometimes using your fingers, joints or other tools, creams or lotions, reflexology relieves tension, improves circulation and helps promote the natural function of
- the related areas of the body."
Reflexologists acknowledge that the blockage of an energy field, invisible life force, or Qi, can prevent healing. Another tenet of reflexology is the understanding that as practitioners they can facilitate the relief of stress and pain in other parts of the body through the manipulation of specific zones and areas on the feet (see below). It is the pressure received in the foot that 'stimulates' any blocked energy flow and sends signals that 'balance' the nervous system or release chemicals such as endorphins that reduce stress and pain.
Here is a chart of all the zones in the body that correspond to areas where we might experience pain or discomfort. when we apply pressure and feel some discomfort or pain, that indicates blocked energy or injury that needs care.

Understanding Our Chakras
#3 Solar Plexus ~ Manipura
Manipura is the Sanskrit term meaning 'city of jewels'. It relates to the element of fire and the colour yellow or gold and is often depicted symbolically as a bright glowing Sun. Likewise in the same way that the Sun radiates heat and light throughout the solar system, manipura chakra radiates and distributes heat and prana throughout the entire human body and energy system. Manipura chakra s the centre of our personal power, vitality, dynamism and willpower. It provides our being with confidence, the energy to endure and the self worth and motivation to see projects through to their completion.
Anatomically it is situated just above and behind the navel and governs the solar plexus of nerves and pancreas gland, which control the digestive fires and metabolism of the body, transforming food into energy and heat (Solar means Sun). Manipura is also responsible for the functioning of the related organs involved, such as the liver, gallbladder, spleen and stomach. Key processes of manipura chakra then are extraction, detoxification, digestion and metabolism.
If we look at the Liver and Gallbladder it best explains the underlying functions of manipura chakra on a spiritual and physical level. Chinese medicine calls the Liver the General who makes the plans and the Gall Bladder the 'decision maker', which means our ability to organize, plan and make decisions is down to the well-being of the Liver and Gall bladder. So the health of manipura chakra is vital for our self esteem and achievement because it provides us with a life plan, a sense of purpose and direction. The Liver also processes food from the stomach and intestines, extracting what is essential and discarding what is not and neutralising toxins along the way. This fundamental detoxification process of the Liver makes manipura chakra an important and popular focal point in any yoga class involved with detoxing and clarifying.
THE WAY TO BENEFIT FROM THE INFORMATION I SHARE ON THE CHAKRAS, IS TO PRACTICE MEDITATING ON THEM. YOU DON'T NEED EXPERIENCE OR A TEACHER OR BE A MASTER AT UNDERSTANDING THE CHAKRAS. THE SIMPLE INFORMATION I HAVE POSTED HERE AND ON MY WEBSITE AND BLOG, IS GUIDE ENOUGH.

MEDITATION . . . cont'd.
To meditate simply means to sit quietly and be with yourSELF. No interruptions for a specific period of time. Even if you start with sitting quietly for 2 minutes - THAT IS MEDITATING. Eventually you can increase the time. Your purpose in sitting is to stop all random thoughts, and be quiet and listen to yourSELF.
(You'll be amazed at how hard that is, to have NO THOUGHTS - but that is the task of meditation.) Ask no questions, expect no answers ~ BE STILL AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE GOD. The god of your own decisions, choices, strengths. You will find with time, that you will strengthen your resolve, you will find inner peace, you will create inner power and direction and intention and CONTROL. But you have to START. This evening, or tomorrow. Just sit quietly with yourSELF for two minutes. Then next week five minutes, and so on.
Then let me know how you are doing, and ask questions to help you go further, understand the process, etc. We can also do that on the teleconference.

Book(s) Update . . . .
 Herbs are Nature's Medicine BOOK I: Functional Herbology
Well, it seems that the closer I get to completing the TOC and format of each book, another "book" morphs.
Initially, when I finally made a commitment in 2014 to finally write an herb book, it was definitively "Herbs are Nature's Medicine: Your Handbook to Healing with the Elements!" (See book cover to the right.)
Then as I began seeking counsel from others who self-published, were established, award-winning authors and owners of web sites offering support and free services to assist the Indie (independent self-publishing) author, someone said, "why don't you do an 'Introduction' to your first book (thanks Coco), so you can establish a following, a platform, wet your feet, etc.!!! Hence "INTRO to Herbs are Nature's Medicine: Healing with the Elements" stuck up its beautiful head. In this edition (see book cover lower right) the main focus will be on the  "elements" as few people realize that "As It Is Above, So It Is Below" is in reality referring to the fact that all the elements that exist in the Universe (macrocosm) ether, air, fire, water, earth and metal, all have an inherent and specific correlation to our inner Universe (microcosm) of body organs: WATER (kidneys/bladder), WOOD (liver/gall bladder), FIRE (heart/small intestines), EARTH (stomach/spleen) and METAL (lungs/colon). That will be explored and explained in detail in INTRO.
Then as I began to speak to the large numbers of followers on my Blog and readers of my Newsletters, many of them didn't have any understanding or knowledge of exactly "how" herbs work. They had no idea that herbs moved in specific directions, (nor that every organ in our body had its own 'organ chi' and also moved in "directions"), that herbs had specific tastes that effected their healing abilities, or that they had their own "energy." The 'direction' of the Stomach Chi is downward (as our food is digested and moves downward); when it is disturbed (by our bad diet usually, or emotional upset) we "throw up" = our stomach chi moving in the wrong direction. Hence, the need to take herbs with a 'downward energy' to calm the stomach chi and restore its downward harmony. This necessitated the third "morph" - Functional Herbology.
NOW THEY HAVE RE-ESTABLISHED THEIR NECESSARY CHRONOLOGY:
BOOK I will be "FUNCTIONAL HERBOLOGY"
BOOK II will be "INTRO to Herbs are Nature's Medicine: Healing with the Elements, and
BOOK III will be "Herbs are Nature's Medicine: Your Handbook for Healing with the Elements
Book I is scheduled for release this Spring/Summer.
{The Cover and TOC is also complete for Book IV: Living in Rhythm with the Universe: Mental, Physical, Spiritual and Emotional Healing with the Elements, which will help you understand the healing
power of our 7 Chakras (inherently connected to our
7 Endocrine Glands), Crystals and how to use them
to heal our mental, physical, spiritual
and emotional bodies.}

HEALING with YOGA
I have personally studied and taught yoga for many years (many years ago). It became clear to me that all imbalances in health are impacted by our ability to breathe properly with the energized breath (prana). When prana is low the body cannot expel toxins sufficiently: we feel stagnant, heavy, lethargic, depressed and may experience constipation, headaches, and poor circulation. When prana is unsteady we experience anxiety, insomnia, irritability and irregular heartbeat.
"I have come to believe that caring for myself is not self-indulgent. Caring for myself is an act of survival."
Audre Lorde
BIKRAM YOGA: To elevate the yoga experience to another level, is to practice yoga in a heated room so that deep penetration of the heat can relieve one's body resistance without risking injury. By the end of a class session, each individual will have worked every muscle, tendon, joint, ligament, internal organ, and gland while systematically moving fresh, oxygenated blood to 100% of the body. The result is restoration of health to ALL SYSTEMS.
This month's posture (Standing Head to Knee) is one of the hardest for me! I have really bad knees, and trying to stand on one leg and grab the bottom of my other foot is almost impossible . . . though I can grab it on the bottom, but just not staight up with the knee properly between the two arms. And when I do, by the time they get you ready to move on to the next phase and extend the leg, my poor hip is already exhausted . . . BUT I MUST ADMIT, for the four years (this year starts my 5th year) I've been practicing Bikram, my legs and knees have gotten much stronger: basically from consistently working them and trying! Yaaaay me!!! "Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity." Hippocrates
right now to heal and detox ~ check out
their Introductory Week Special.}
As you increase strength, flexibility, and balance in your body, you will be energized, you will revitalize your mind, and you will be working on eliminating conditions of stress produced by our fast-paced lifestyles.
"And you can't heal what you refuse to confront!"
The 24 postures and two breathing exercises in BIKRAM YOGA are designed specifically to help eliminate Stress; address Obesity and Weight Control; treat Arthritis/Cancer, and Diabetes.
"You're never too old, never too bad, never too late and never too sick to start from scratch once again." ~Bikram Choudhury
AND IT WORKS. With consistent practice I have eliminated
deep seated toxins, unprocessed emotions and elements of stress that comes with daily living and normal interactions with family, your job and life ~ but with regular practice of the postures in the heat continually flushes the toxins and KEEPS STRESS AND DISEASE AT BAY!!!
.
CLARITY: The actual BIKRAM PRACTICE begins and ends with a
breathing exercise (Standing Deep Breathing at beginning; and Blowing in Firm Pose at the end) ~ with 24 actual "Postures" in between. The 1st Posture (Half Moon) is comprised of four movements: right side bend, left side bend, backward bend and forward bend. In his book, Bikram Choudhury separates the forward bend into the 2nd Posture: Hands to Feet ~ though in practice we do it as the fourth movement of the Half Moon Pose.
POSTURES 5-12 ARE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY

Posture 5. Standing Head to Knee ~ Dandayamana-Janushirasana
"When you learn to lock the knee properly, this posture improves the flexibility of the sciatic nerves and strengthens the ham-strings and leg muscles. Plus it works the muscles of the back, the biceps and the triceps. When you touch your forehead to your knee, you create front-side compression, so you are also squeezing and flushing out the internal abdominal organs, such as the gall bladder, pancreas and spleen, as well as the uterus and ovaries."
from his "Bikram Yoga" book, page 125

Womb Purity Regimen
This regimen is designed for the individual needs of every woman. If your fibroid tumors/cysts are small and doesn't cause much (or any) discomfort, you may only need to take the tea regularly, to reduce them and keep them in check. If they are numerous and mildly discomforting, I'd suggest the Regular Strength Clay/Douche Combo. The larger they are in size and number, more chronic, recurring, painful and/or disruptive of your menses and lifestyle, you should use all three products to employ a more aggressive attack on the fibroids/tumors/cysts; here I would suggest the Advanced Strength.
Womb Purity Tea - 2oz ~ $12 
Womb Purity Clay/Douche Combo
Regular Strength - 8oz Jar ~ $39
Advanced Strength - 8oz Jar ~ $49
Womb Purity Douche - 2oz ~ $17
TESTIMONIAL: After my diagnosis of fibroids in 2012, and then being on the Womb Purity Formula for nearly a year, my symptoms have virtually disappeared to the degree that I was feeling soo good that I forgot my fibroids existed. I no longer have any uneasiness followed by regular Dr visits. It was virtually undetectable.
