With a new career as a massage therapist I love learning about different modalities in bodywork treatments. When I watched the actress LisaRaye’s reality show I was too excited to write about her cupping treatment she received. You can actually watch her receive it online on the recorded video of this episode.

Cupping actually has many benefits and is an ancient treatment. LisaRaye got this holistic treatment to help rid cellulite and for a butt lift. Read my full Examiner.com article about LisaRaye by clicking on the headline below. Also read about some health tips for longevity and endurance for athletes.

Learn of the world’s top super foods and why belly fat is dangerous

Marguerite — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 00:19:55 +0000

Noni, Acai, Goji berry and Mangosteen

January is moving fast but I always stop to marvel at the wondrous works of the Lord, including the super foods he created for us, with all their healing benefits. I recently wrote an Examiner.com article about these super foods, Açai, Goji berry, Mangosteen and Noni plus Nature Sunshine is running a special this week on some more amazing herbs, Pau d’ Arco and Kelp.

First let’s talk about Pau d’ Arco, found in South America, a tree that grows as tall as 30 meters and known as “taheebo.” Fungus never grows on these trees. Pau d’Arco is known to treat a wide range of conditions, including pain, arthritis, inflammation of the prostate gland (prostatitis), fever, dysentery, boils and ulcers, and various cancers. It is also good to fight parasitic diseases.

True story – healing cream works! On special this week

Marguerite — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 00:10:11 +0000

After experiencing a family emergency a few years back I can truly say that AC Healing cream really works. We were preparing for a family vacation and my husband just made himself a big cup of hot, hot tea. Before I even knew what happened he had knocked the tea over in his lap. I have never seen my husband move so quickly. He snatched his sweat pants off so fast, but he ended up with a bad burn on his thigh. It looked terrible and I just knew he would have a ugly mark left from that burn. This is when we learned about AC Healing cream. My friend and herbalist recommended to us. He put it on the burn once it had healed to the point he could apply cream. His burn healed so quickly we couldn’t believe it and today he has no mark from it at all.

Also good for:
-   rashes
-   sunburn
-   damaged, dry skin
Has soothing herbal properties of arnica and calendula.

We highly recommend this cream and suggest it be part of the household first aid kit.

Dealing with skin breakouts naturally. Acne gel on special!

Marguerite — Mon, 24 May 2010 04:57:50 +0000

As a mother of a teen son and daughter in her twenties, I know of the struggle of dealing with acne. I also battled with acne as a teen myself and it is not fun. Beautiful skin is important at any age. Since studying herbs I found that when dealing acne helps if you work with the system internally as well as externally.

Pimples can be caused by hormone changes but aggravated by poor diet and lack of body cleansing. One of the first things people notice when they do a good herbal colon cleanse is how much better their skin looks because the colon cleanse will cleanse out waste, toxins and parasites, clean the blood and helping to cleanse the liver. This all benefits the skin and clears breakouts.

Products like:
Chlorophyll

Cleanstart colon cleanse

Tiao He cleanse

or the special System cleanse program we highly recommend is good for skin care internally. Contact me for details on the program – momsherbs@gmail.com
All these programs are awesome for detoxing internally.

This week our Acne Treatment Gel is on special and this is a great product to apply topically to the skin to help clear blemishes with natural ingredients.

Acne Treatment Gel
Buy 3 Get 1 FREE – $36.45
