Well, no sermons here. Because we have fully embraced the fact that chocolate is good for your health.
Of course, organic dark chocolate wins the vote over milk chocolate bunnies from the super market… but it’s not too late to refine the consumption to fit with a genuine pre-winter health drive.
A little dark chocolate everyday is reported to lower cholesterol, relax blood pressure and – perhaps best of all – to help make us feel happy.
Because feeling good is the key. As our daily dose of sunlight slowly starts to decline and the cold weather changes the mood, we can be proactive in nurturing our systems to compensate.
Not simply eating chocolate though (sorry).
Just recently we talked about the erratic seasonal weather. But watch out for those beautiful days when the full splendor of autumn is simply enchanting…
Drop it all to take a walk through the fabulously crunchy leaves, marvel at glorious flaming colors against crisp blue skies, and soak up that clear, therapeutic light that imbues everything with a sense of perfect balance.
Too precious to miss. Having blasted us from summer to winter and back again, nature delivers an impeccably timed moment that touches the heart and connects us to the infinite beauty of it all.
Sweet soul food. Now that has got to be right up there with orgasmic dark chocolate, don’t you think?
Any event that brings about a rousing sense of appreciation and spontaneous lung-filling breaths is fortifying. Laughing. Dancing. Singing… you get the picture.
Take it where you can. If you spend too much time on the computer, enjoy a few minutes of feel-good sharing…
Watch this and you will soon catch on:
For those of you who want something more specific, there is evidence to suggest that our mood-controlling thyroids and our energy-influencing adrenals are directly challenged by colder weather, so… read more…
It may be stating the obvious, but have you noticed that while a caffeine-charged drink may chase away the yawns, there is a significant sacrifice involved because you end up feeling less than balanced and generally more edgy?
Compare that to the possibility of a sustainable state of vitality and natural body health, and the pay off certainly seems a little out of whack.
So, we know: nice brisk walk out in the fresh air will always be a better proposition than yet another espresso. But, failing that, how about a concentrated blend of pure plant extracts, especially formulated to wake up the senses in collaboration with healthy body process?

If a glance in the mirror has sad, sore eyes staring back at you, no regular beauty routine is likely to change the outlook. Taking care of irritated eyes demands a gentle hand or you risk aggravating the problem yet further. Because of this, the safest first step to take is to avoid rubbing or even touching, and instead bathe each eye with a very simple, very pure eye wash.
From a natural healthcare company built on purity and organic integrity, Absolute Essential’s unique purified waters blend called Eye Soothe is probably the safest, gentlest product you could hope for.
It is an exceptional synergy of pure distilled waters imbued with the cooling, cleansing properties of pristine medicinal plants. Created at essential oil extraction of Chamomile, Rose and Lavender, these are medicinal-grade distillates with healing properties helpful to puffy or dry skin, broken capillaries, infection and itchiness – all in perfect dilution for the delicate waters and surrounding skin of the eye.
Whether the problem is allergies, tiredness, or general irritation, Eye Soothe comes in a gentle spray application that will refresh and cleanse the whole eye area to help restore natural comfort and equilibrium. And since it is also recommended for infants to help clean crusting and minor infections, rest assured it can be used for frequent applications with absolutely no danger of ill effect.
Some of you keep asking how scent can have such an amazing impact on our health and well-being, so I will use this post to quickly summarise why Therapeutic Plant Oils are so clever and versatile and work effectively in three ways:
1. Sense of Smell – the fine molecules of therapeutic plant oils trigger our brain to respond either by an emotion (e.g. happiness) or action (e.g. feeling hot) while smelling the natural scent.
2. Absorption via the Skin – the skin can absorb a medicinal grade oil easily, it’s measured that up to 80% are absorbed into the bloodstream while you take a 15min bath.
3. Take a Deep Breath – by using a diffuser to disperse essential oils into the air, you breathe in these fine molecules which get absorbed into the blood stream via the lungs to work naturally.
There are very few people who haven’t experienced some degree of stress this year.
And as we shift gears to deal with the extra demands of the coming festive season it’s a given that many of us will already be running less smoothly due to the effects of adrenaline drain.
What we are talking about is basically an overload on our capacity for healthy function that can hit emotionally, psychologically or physically. Physical stress will often manifest psychological or emotional imbalance, while psychological and emotional stress can incur physical problems. read more…

10 years ago, a Tasmanian cattle farmer was repairing some very rusty fencing on a hill on the East Coast of Tasmania. He arrived at a section of Kunzea Trees (Australian Kanuka) that were leaning on the fence.
“As I began to cut them back to free the fence, I noticed that the section of the fence, previously covered by the trees, looked shiny and new. This provoked a thought process about how to utilise the antioxidant benefits of these plants and extract the oil for human use.” read more…
