ramifications
this information contains.

| Can
Prayer be scientifically proven? |

| "If
there was any medication that could accomplish that much, people would
line up around the world to buy it." Don't leave out God and prayer -
the
2 most important ingredients.

| Aromatherapy
in Intrapartum Midwifery Practice |
|
| It
covered the use of around 10 different EOs for over 8,000 mothers. The
study was conducted within the context of a large teaching maternity
hospital
and the data collected between the years '90 and '98 and comparison
data
from 'non aromatherapy' mothers was also used. The main indicators used
were reduction of maternal anxiety and/or fear; pain; assisting
maternal
contractions; alleviating vomiting and/or nausea and enhancing maternal
well-being. The use of aromatherapy was NOT confined to low risk
mothers
and overall the study showed the successful integration of this
complementary
therapy into mainstream midwifery practice. Obviously, there is
numerous
amounts of very valuable data about various aspects of this study and I
would recommend the report to practising aromatherapists for that
reason.
The study involved a wide range of participants, low risk spontaneous
labour
and birth, induced labour, vaginal operative delivery and Caesarean
section.
A minimal incidence of associated symptoms (to aromatherapy) were
reported
and these were all mild in nature. The chemical constituents, their
effects
on the body, the molecular structure and their physiological effects
are
detailed and identified for each oil, and safety data for each (in
antenatal
and intrapartum periods) is discussed. The oils used in the study were
Lavendula augustifolia, Boswellia carteri, Salvia sclarea, Mentha
piperita,
Citrus limonum, Citrus reticulata, Rosa centifolia, Jasminum
grandiflorum,
Eucalyptus globulus and Chamaemelum nobile. He was particularly
interested
in the reports about the use of Frankincense (Bos. Carteri) and
discussed
this aspect further with some of the research team. Some information
about
that aspect can be found by clicking on the link
It
was completed in the UK at OCHRAD (Oxford Centre for Health Care
Research
and Development). It was an eight year evaluative study by E Burns, C
Blamey,
S J Ersser, A J Lloyd and L Barnetson in July '99. Contact details for

| Calcium
- Still having "lack of" symptoms? |
|
| Children
with crowded, crooked teeth who later must have the wisdom teeth pulled
because of a too-narrow jaw are lacking calcium in the body. Sugars,
pastries,
soft and alcoholic beverages, breads, candies, etc., leach the calcium
out of the body, causing varicose veins, cramps, Charlie horses, loss
of
teeth, nervous upsets, PMS, Miscarriage, etc.
Oatstraw
is an excellent source of calcium especially when it is combined with
horsetail
grass, comfrey and lobelia. You need to simmer the oatstraw for 15 min.
then turn off the heat and add the other herbs for a great tea. The
oatstraw
does not release it's calcium in capsule form - it needs to be
simmered.
A
lot of problems would be eliminated if we will balance the calcium and
sodium in our bodies. This does not mean "salt" but sodium phosphate as
found in fruits and vegetables. Celery is the highest (5 stems a day)
in
the necessary sodium. (I juice mine)

| In
our last newsletter we said we had 2 favorite herbalists. WELL! This
month
is Dr. Christopher's turn. His book "School of Natural Healing" has
been
our "Bible" for herbal knowledge for 30 years. With our internet
business
we would be lost without his CD to help us with questions. See why we
have
been so impressed with his inspired gift of healing.
Who
is this Dr. Christopher?
