THE BOWEN TECHNIQUE – a gentle, effective way to recovery
Originally developed in Australia by Tom Bowen in the 1940’s,
the Bowen Technique is a non-invasive, remedial therapy that enables
the body to correct problems and restore its structural integrity
without the use of massage, manipulation or force. A gentle,
subtle, relaxing Bowen treatment, consisting of gentle moves over soft
tissue and muscles, interspersed with periods of rest affects the body
in ways that promote healing, pain relief and recovery of energy.
It effectively treats a range of acute or chronic conditions including
Back pain, Sciatica, Frozen shoulder, Neck disorders, Sports injuries,
RSI, Asthma, Chronic Fatigue/ME, Migraine, Stress related conditions,
Hormonal imbalance and many more.
Bowen is a versatile treatment that provides a great health maintenance
programme too, boosting the immune system and aiding injury prevention
– many clients return on a regular basis for top ups and to
de-stress. Treatments can be performed through light clothing and
are generally considered suitable for all ages from babies to the frail
elderly. Effects are surprisingly strong given the gentle nature or the
work itself, sometimes only 2 or 3 sessions bring lasting relief to
long standing conditions.
Enjoy a healthier lifestyle with nature’s help with ALOE VERA
Often referred to as the Miracle Plant, the Natural Healer and the Burn
Plant. Aloe Vera has benefited mankind for around 4,000 years. Used by
both the ancient Chinese and Indian cultures as well as Greek and Roman
physicians and was also rated highly as a beauty therapy by the
Egyptian queens Cleopatra and Nefertiti.
The Aloe Vera plant looks like a cactus but in fact is a succulent,
belonging to the lily family. It is the inner gel from the leaves
that is harvested for its medicinal properties.
The benefits of Aloe Vera gel can be obtained by taking it internally
for its nutritional effect or it can be combined with other ingredients
to produce topical creams and lotions to nourish and improve the
quality of the skin.
Aloe Vera gel contains at least 75 known ingredients including
vitamins, minerals and amino acids and antioxidant properties. Aloe
Vera helps firstly to prevent injury to the skin and inner lining of
the body cavities (i.e. skin, lining of the gut, bronchial tubes and
genital tract) promoting cell growth and healing.
Aloe Vera is not only beneficial to people with medical problems though
– most people who take it report that they just feel ‘better’ or calmer
and less anxious. This may be due to Aloe’s second effect,
strengthening the immune system, which becomes ‘balanced’ or
‘fine-tuned’ and therefore more efficient.
Aloe Vera’s claims are largely backed up by anecdotal evidence, many
thousands of people over the centuries have reported benefit for
various skin complaints such as eczema, psoriasis, burns, acne and even
stings and bites. They have found relief for bowel disorders such
as colitis, diverticulitis and Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Other
conditions resulting from a disordered immune system such as arthritis,
asthma and ME (post viral fatigue syndrome) and LE (lupus) have
improved after regularly taking Aloe Vera gel.
Aloe Vera therefore has a complimentary role in the management of various conditions.
FOREVER LIVING PRODUCTS is the world’s largest grower, manufacturer and
distributor of Aloe Vera, farming it organically in the US and South
America and supply a range of natural healthcare, nutrition, skincare,
personal care and beauty products for people and animals.
MOBILE PHONES, their MASTS and CORDLESS PHONES
Mobile and cordless phones are an essential part of life. There are
scientific studies expressing serious health concerns about the use of
mobile phones. Most of us know of people who suffer from ‘hot
ear’, headaches, nausea and nosebleeds – the identifiable results of
using mobiles, but the long-term effects are unknown and potentially
hazardous. A neurosurgeon has described mobile use as “the largest
biological experiment in the history of the world”.
All the time phones are switched ‘on’ (even on standby), radiation is
emitted and entering the body. People text, sitting down, with the
phone in their lap, near vital body organs, and when talking, the
radiation is entering their skull. Phones are making contact with the
nearest base station a number of times every minute, and in country
areas, where phones have to ‘work harder’ because of the limited
network, the danger is multiplied.
Parents are taking action to avoid masts (base stations) being erected
near residential areas and schools. Yet these are the same parents who
are giving their children mobile phones at a younger and younger age,
and children ‘use’ them – they do not keep them ‘for emergencies’ only.
Press articles regularly report about the increasing number of mobile
phone users, particularly children (see Sir William Stewart’s plea for
extreme caution in his independent government report of May 2000). If
you saw the evidence in Sir Trevor McDonald’s ITV programme, showing
just how far into the skull phone radiation penetrates, you will be
interested in safety measures to shield yourself and your home from
unwanted radiation.
A small crystal-based product attached to the phone, called Biophone
from BIO-FLOW, which, in very simplistic terms, ‘neutralises’ the
mobile’s potentially damaging unnatural frequencies. In a clinical
trial on people claiming problems with mobile phones - see
www.radiationresearch.org – the Biophone product was found to reduce
complaints by a staggering 42%.
In terms of phone masts, the GEO-ENERGETICS team can dowse your home
for potentially harmful radiation as well as other forms of geopathic
stress and put measures into place to make your home or workplace a
safe haven again.
