Healthwise Clinic Natural Health Blog

Andrew Loosely will be giving a talk on Nature’s Diet – a healthy way to eat on Tuesday 24 March at Healthwise Clinic.

Surprisingly, we should all be having some bitterness in our diet at the moment, because it helps the natural detox. “Spring is the time when our bodies naturally detox so it is the perfect time to lose weight” says Andrew.

Coughs, colds, skin problems and cholesterol can be worse in the Spring, and you can discover what to eat to solve these health problems. Find out more

And of course it is better for your body than an extreme procedure or starvation diet. Come along and share the lemons!

I have only just finished reading the “Sunday Times” (it can take ages!), and  was very interested in an article by India Knight about losing weight. She describes an Austrian clinic where you have enemas and a virtual starvation diet.

It is written wittily (she is a great writer) but from the natural health point of view .. far too extreme for the body.   Our bodies are not things to be bullied and starved, they are to be respected.  We live with them in a deep sense, not against them

And, best of all, your body is naturally detoxing and losing weight in the Spring.  It is much easier to work with what is happening naturally in your body at the right time of year.
Read India Knight’s article to see how far she is willing to go

A great attitude will certainly help you to get there! We certainly believe there is nothing preventing you.

There are lots of things you can do. General advice includes things you’ll know already like taking some gentle exercise every day, drinking water, eating healthily, and avoiding excesses of tea, sugar, coffee and alcohol.

However, the diet that is right for you wouldn’t necessarily be right for somebody else. The exercise that is right for you may also not be helpful for somebody else. Without knowing your personal situation, my best advice after the general points above is to follow the Seasons.

The Seasons are very important in Chinese medicine. Each season brings different health problems which can best be solved within that season. I will be talking about this over the next few weeks in my column at 50 c0nnect and will also post it here so you can look at your health from this perspective.

You may have some particular problem that can be solved, but more general advice would be to stay balanced. Have time for reflection and time for action, be physically active and also relax completely, take some time out and just be still!

Natural medicine is based on the energy that goes round your body, and ideally you want it to flow freely and not get stuck. Getting stuck in any emotion like anger or fear, for example, is connected to your physical well-being and is also connected to this time of year.

There is a particular emotion connected to Spring, and you will hear about that very soon.

Keep in touch and in the meantime have some me time…….

It’s the day to get close to the one you love.

But lips get chapped by the winter wind and dried out by central heating and don’t feel as good as you would like.

The most famous lip treatment – Vaseline – is made from, yes you knew ..petrol.  Oil that comes out of the ground and is processed and then put into your car.  It is difficult to believe it is true.

Beauty balm has been developed by Andrew Loosely to keep your lips the way nature intended with no petrol, no chemicals or toxins at all.

Just 100% natural and 90% organic ingredients including motherwort, peach and apricot kernels, sesame oil and beeswax.  Made carefully with love for you.

January the 26th saw the first day of the Chinese New Year of the Ox and so we celebrated it at Healthwise with an evening of improving your health by eliminating toxins from your day to day life. The talk was called ‘As Nature Intended: Free of Toxins’  We had a great turn out and we’ve had lots of feedback to say how much people enjoyed it and asking for more talks
The talk discussed the 5 key areas in which toxins exist, often without us knowing about them and how they affect our health. The 5 areas are: Medication, Cosmetics (shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste etc), Plastic and Packaging (food ware, water bottles), Food and Water and Environmental contributions.
I am in the process of writing an e-book about this subject which will be available to buy on this site very soon. If you have any specific questions regarding this information please post them here and I will reply to you.
Thank you to all that attended and we hope to see you at the next talk in March which will be called ‘Natures diet – a healthy way to eat’ and will look at the optimum way to eat to prevent disease and live a healthy long life.

best wishes for the year of the Ox
