Wild Yam, also known as Dioscorea Villosa, is a popular modern alternative to HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy). Because of the phytoestrogens it contains it is also a natural breast enlarger. Importantly phytoestrogens are not actually estrogen, but since they are capable of binding to estrogen receptors, they can "fool" the body into thinking and reacting as though there were more estrogen present, which can help to enlargen breast and effectively treat PMS. Wild Yam is also an effective antispasmodic, so is good for menstrual cramps, relaxing muscles, soothing nerves, relieving pain, poor circulation and neuralgia, for the inflammatory stage of rheumatory arthritis and for abdominal and intestinal cramping. Wild Yam has long been used for its benefits in women's reproductive health, including pre-menstrual syndrome and menopausal problems. The plant contains a chemical called Diosgenin from which the modern contraceptive pill, cortisones and synthetic sex hormones are derived. It has a reputation in many places throughout the world for being used for female complaints, as Diosgenin is a producer of progesterone and is indicated in conditions of hormone imbalance. Wild Yam / Dioscorea is also anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic, diuretic and liver cleansing. So it is useful for: Menstrual cramps Relieving pain Rheumatoid arthritis PMS Breast enhancement Stimulating libido Symptoms of menopause Threatened miscarriage Flatulence Irritable bowel syndrome Intestinal colic Poor circulation Neuralgia.

Zinc / Copper. Zinc is an essential trace element, present in all tissues. Recommended Intake - One tablet daily as a food supplement or as directed by a practitioner. What does it do?. * It is needed for growth and human development and tissue healing * It is essential for a healthy immune system * It helps to balance blood sugars through insulin * It helps to maintain healthy liver function, digestion and proper metabolism of carbohydrates * It helps to maintain a healthy nervous system * It is needed for healthy reproductive organs, prostate gland and healthy semen. Why might you choose to take extra Zinc/Copper?. * Soil deficiencies may have reduced zinc levels available in vegetables, and some zinc is removed in food processing * Too much fibre in the diet inhibits zinc absorption, as it binds with and removes zinc * If you are consuming large amounts of tea, coffee and/or alcohol, zinc will be excreted from the body * Long-term use of diuretics, the contraceptive pill and IUDs may deplete your body of zinc * If you are a ?sporty type?, excessive sweating can cause a loss of up to 3mg / day. Why Nature's Own? Nature's Own Zinc/Copper supplement is in a Food State, which means the nutrients will be presented to your body in the same form as they are in food. Food State nutrients have been tested by independent laboratories, who found that they: . * are significantly better absorbed, longer retained and better used than standard chemical supplements; * do not need to be taken with food, as they contain all the necessary food factors needed for absorption; * have no known allergic reactions; and * are suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Nature's Own Zinc supplement is combined with a small amount of copper. Zinc and copper compete for absorption sites in your body, and an excess of one will deplete the other. This ratio prevents copper deficiency from long-term zinc supplementation.

Thrush is a common infection that most women have some time in their lives and is not caused by a lack of personal hygiene. Thrush is caused by a yeast called Candida which may live harmlessly in the vagina without you even noticing it. However, the natural balance that keeps candida under control can be upset by many factors such as hormonal changes (menstruation, contraceptive pill, pregnancy, menopause), poor health, antibiotics, perfumed soaps, bath additives and tight clothing. If the level of yeast increases, it can develop into a thrush infection causing any of the following symptoms: persistent burning itching around the vagina and vulva, redness, swelling and soreness of the tissues of the vagina and vulva and a whitish, odourless discharge from the vagina. If this is the first time you have had these symptoms, talk to your doctor before using any treatment. Canesten Combi is a complete thrush treatment because it contains: A soothing cream to start relieving the itch immediately, a pessary for insertion into the vagina for treatment at the site of infection. The pessary also contains an ingredient that helps restore the vagina's pH balance. Do not use this product if you have previously had an allergic reaction to the active ingredient, clotrimazole. See your doctor as soon as possible and do not use the pessary if you have any of the following symptoms: Irregular vaginal bleeding Abnormal vaginal bleeding or a blood-stained discharge ulcers, blisters or sores of the vagina or vulva, lower abdominal pain, pain or difficulty in passing urine, fever or chills, feeling sick or vomiting, diarrhoea, a foul smelling discharge from the vagina This is because Canesten Combi may not be the right treatment for you. If you are unsure whether you have thrush, check with your doctor before using this product. If you are pregnant or are trying for a baby, tell your doctor before using Canesten Combi.

The Human Body Contains Twenty Times More Bacteria Than It Does Human Cells; These Are Made Up Of 'Friendly' And 'Bad' Bacteria. Bio-Culture Contains An Active Culture Of Lactic Acid Producing Bacteria (Friendly Bacteria) To Help Maintain A Healthy Intestinal Tract. These 'Friendly' Bacteria Are Known As Probiotics, Which The Body Needs To Maintain Good Health. The Probiotics In Bio-Culture Promote The Number Of Friendly Bacteria In The Digestive System, Also Making Conditions Unfavourable For Bad Bacteria, A Common Measure In Promoting Good Health. The Composition Of The Intestinal Bacteria Is Kept Constant By The Lactic Acid Bacteria'S Production Of Lactic Acid, Acetic Acid And Various Anti-Bacterial Substances That Have An Inhibiting Effect On Undesirable Forms Of Bacteria. Lactic Acid And Acetic Acid Reduce The Ph In The Intestine And Stimulate Peristalsis, Which Helps The Passage Of Food Through The Intestine, Thus Reducing The Amount Of Time That The System Is Exposed To Potentially Harmful Substances Such As Carcinogens. If Bad Bacteria Overrun The Friendly The Results Can Be Candida (Thrush), Flatulence, Painful Stomach And Diarrhoea. Bio-Culture Is Beneficial For Maintaining A Healthy Digestive System At Times Of Stress, Holiday Travel, Over-Indulgence, For Individuals Who Take The Contraceptive Pill And After Courses Of Antibiotics.

What's the greatest human invention of the last two millennia? The Greatest Inventions of the Past 2,000 Years grew out of a Web-site project called Edge (www.edge.org), wherein the invited intelligentsia recorded their deep thoughts on a variety of topics. In 1998, editor John Brockman asked them to choose the creation that most shaped our world since year one. For this book, Brockman picked 100 of the most compelling entries from intellectual celebrities like Stewart Brand, Richard Dawkins, Steven Pinker and Murray Gell-Mann. The printing press received a number of votes, as did the computer and television. Other entries were more eclectic: organised science, the contraceptive pill, the gun or even hay. Chairs and stairs; anaesthesia; cities. Each invention is justified by a short essay, some of which read like ... well, Web-site prose. Also, a glaring sexism flaws the book--Brockman chose fewer than 10 women's submissions. Nevertheless, Greatest Inventions is a worthy addition to your millennial reading list and lots of fun besides. --Therese Littleton

A natural aid to help lighten your overall mood, St John's Wort has been used for centuries to combat mild depression. It's active component, Hypericin, is also antibiotic. St John's Wort is widely known as an herbal treatment for depression. In some countries, such as Germany, it is commonly prescribed for mild depression, especially in children and teenagers. The active component is called Hypericin, which has been extensively clinically studied. A recent report from the Cochrane Review states:- St John's Wort is superior to placebo in patients with major depression, St John's Wort is similarly effective as standard antidepressants, St John's Wort has far fewer side-effects than standard antidepressants. Most studies of St John's Wort for treating depression used doses of 300 mg of an extract (standardized to 0.3 percent hypericin content) three times daily to achieve a therapeutic effect. It is safe to take from 300mg up to 1,800 mg daily (the equivalent of 6 capsules). There have not been any reports of overdose or negative effects from higher dosages. St John's Wort has also been shown to be neuroprotective and has active antioxidant ingredients, which have yet to be isolated. St John's Wort performs a similar function to 5-HTP and Valerian Root, but St John's Wort is more exclusively for mild depression and mood lightening, 5-HTP and Valerian Root is also of benefit to those who experience insomnia or for women who can't take St John's Wort because they are taking the contraceptive pill.

Women may find vitamin B6 particularly beneficial, since it can help to relieve the symptoms of pre-menstrual tension, is required in higher amounts by women taking the contraceptive pill and helps to alleviate morning sickness during pregnancy. The range of B vitamins work most effectively when taken together. Without vitamin B6 the body cannot properly absorb vitamin B12, which may lead to tiredness, irritability and anaemia, and in order to prevent deficiencies in other B vitamins, B6 should be taken in equal amounts with B1 and B2. Vitamin B6 is needed for the production of red blood cells and antibodies and can help to protect the body against infections. It has been shown that vitamin B6 helps to prevent various nervous and skin disorders and promotes the proper manufacture of anti-ageing nucleic acids. This is a useful vitamin to take to reduce the feelings of anxiety or depression. Suitable for vegetarians.INGREDIENTS Maltodextrin, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Silica, Stearic Acid, Magnesium Stearate.

Valerian is used for insomnia and other disorders as an alternative to benzodiazepine drugs, and as a sedative for nervous tension, excitability, stress and intestinal colic or cramps. Great for gently relaxing the body and mind, it is also good for your digestion. Valerian Root Extract has been demonstrated to possess sedative and anxiolytic effects. The amino acid "Valine" is named after this plant. Valerian has traditionally been used as a sedative, anticonvulsant, migraine treatment and pain reliever, scientific studies have shown these effects to exist, although the precise mechanisms which cause these effects is not fully understood. Valerian acts as an "adaptogen" or balancing agent, meaning that it's effects depend on the symptoms a person is displaying. A study found valerian tends to sedate the agitated person and stimulate the fatigued person, bringing about a balancing effect on the system. Valerian has been used in ayurvedic medicine for many centuries and is considered to work on the nervous, digestive, and respiratory systems as a stimulant, antispasmodic, stomachic, sedative, analeptic, carminative, and nervine. While it is used for various disorders of these systems, due to its accumulative potency users of this relaxing and mood enhancing herb should not exceed recommended dosages. Valerian extract is an excellent pre-bedtime relaxant and can help people with sleeping disorders or who are stressed or nervous. Active Health: Valerian Root Extract can be a suitable alternative to St John's Wort for women who take the contraceptive pill.
