Healthy Note|My Winter Must Have|Supplements

January 20, 2015 by hellnotesforbeauty | Leave a Comment

I have a notebook where I keep a wishlist of supplements and herbs I’d like to try and they’re all categorized by ailment (hypochondriac much?, just kidding).

In all seriousness, prevention is key when health is concerned.  Throughout my experiences, I have stuck with a few staples I always keep in rotation. During the spring and summer months my diet is filled with all sorts of fresh, light and nourishing foods.  Not so much during the winter, where my diet is not as varied and I tend to lean toward more comfort foods.  So winter is the time I incorporate supplements to my diet to help counteract any deficiencies.

Stress can be very detrimental to your well being so I am conscious of  my immune system, stress and energy levels and of course, snacking habits.  Sleep and hydration have proven to be the best remedy personally by far and meditation as well.  Below I will share with you my favorite supplements that have worked for me and the top 3 supplements in my current rotation.

Super Colon Cleanse

Health Plus Super Colon Cleanse 

Why I like it?  

I don’t know about you, but I must and need to stay regular everyday.  Constipation is a topic not many people talk about and to be honest can be a little embarrassing.  I’ve heard and experienced so much of the discomforts not staying regular can lead to.  Bloating, gas, pain and weight gain are some of the uncomfortable side effects of not staying regular.  I  realized the foods I was eating (especially snacks, chips, etc.) was leading to my daily stomach pains and bloating so I steer very clear of these foods and have been nearly eliminated from my diet.

Whenever I’ve had a not so healthy weekend or meal, I take 1-2 pills for 2-3 consecutive days with a lot of water to make sure anything I have consumed does not stay in my digestive system too long.  I have tried a variety of colon cleansers and find this one to be the most comparable for me.  This brand so far does not give me heart burn or stomach pains and it keeps my routine normal, where I’m not running to the bathroom every minute.

What is it? 

Serving Size 4 Capsules
Servings Per Container 60
Amount Per Serving % DV
Calories 10.00
Total Carbohydrate 1.00 g 1%
Dietary Fiber 1.00 g 3%
Iron 1.00 mg 6%
Psyllium Husk Powder 1.00 g **
Senna Leaf Powder 562.00 mg **
Fennel Seed 90.00 mg **
Papaya Leaf 90.00 mg **
Peppermint Leaf 76.00 mg **
Buckthorn Bark 38.00 mg **
Celery Seed 38.00 mg **
Barberry Root 38.00 mg **
Rose Hips 38.00 mg **
Acidophilus 30.00 mg **
** Daily Value (DV) not established

This colon cleanser is actually part 1 of a 8 step body cleansing system.  I haven’t looked into the additional products but will research it with time to consider a full 10 day detox with this system. I’m loving the variety of digestive healthy herbs this colon cleanser has like senna and interestingly enough celery seed which helps promote digestive health too.

How I use it?

The recommendation is 4 capsules but find it to not be necessary for my situation.  If I’m not feeling too light in my belly area, I take 1-2 capsules with my breakfast and find this keeps me regular with no urgency throughout the day.  My pain points are crackers, breads, chips which bloats me really bad.  So if I had a gooey batch of nachos at the movies, colon cleanse is the first thing I go to the next day.  You MUST drink a lot of water. I stick to at least a liter a day.  It’s important to help flush out any toxins from your body. Water is life!

                                                                                                                                                                          Ashwhaghanda

Ashwaghanda 

Why I like it?  

If I were to have a weapon for stress I would choose Ashwagandha.  I can not praise this Ayurveda herb enough for helping me during some very stressful times at work.  16 hour days and little sleep was overpowering me.  Ashwhaghanda helps keep my mind at ease and allows me to be much more calmer when pressed for time.  I have found that it increases my resistance to the effects of stress.  It helps stimulate the immune system and promotes a general feeling of well being.  I barely get sick and when I do it lasts for a day or so.  Also it helps keep my weight right where I need to be which is a plus.

What is it? 

Ashwhaghanda is a very potent herb native to India and the rest of Asia and parts of Africa.  One of the best adaptogens known to resist the effects of stress such as damaging cortisol levels which is released during stress and lowers your immune system. A weak immune system leads to many ailments as a result.  Ashwhaghanda can be used for many illnesses and as a preventative supplement as well.

Burns Body Fat

Calms Nervous

Boosts Metabolism

Stabilizes Blood Sugar

Lowers Cholesterol System

Reduces anxiety and depression

Improves Thyroid Function

Protects against stress and fatigue

Provides healthy levels of energy

Diuretic (perfect for water weight)

Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant

How I use it?

I take supplements in waves like I described here in 2011 when I first started taking this herb.  This is to keep track of any side effects I may be experiencing. I only take Ashwhaghanda during the weekdays after my breakfast at work.  I use the weekend to help my body recover and stop all supplements during the weekends.  Typically every 3 months I stop it entirely for about a month or so and get back on track. Supplements are good but its also important to allow the body to process and rest.

My favorite thing about Ashwhaghanda is the moderate amount of energy levels it gives me.  I don’t wake up feeling exhausted and I’m not jittery throughout the day with crashes in the evening as some energy boosters tend to do.  It also does not interfere with my sleep which I experienced with Spirulina.

                                                                                                                                                                         Source of Life Vitamins

I’ve been taking this daily supplement since my freshmen year of college and use it on and off every six months or so.  I find this to be the only daily vitamins that boosts my immune system enough to keep my sinuses at bay.  It also helps keep my energy levels balanced without interrupting my sleep.  It contains spirulina, which I love and a number of other vitamins and minerals.  Check out the supplement facts here.

I’m looking to add another supplement to my diet for 2015.  Not sure exactly which one yet, but so far I have narrowed it down to those below.  What you eat is what matters and supplements should not be your main source of nutrition.  Eating fresh foods and cutting out processed foods allows your body to benefit from vitamins and minerals directly from the source, unadulterated.  Stay tuned for my top winter teas to sip!

Supplements on my wish list for 2015

Biotin

Collagen

Fish Oils

Complex B Vitamins

Supplements I’ve Tried

Bee Propolis

Eyebright

Spirulina

Summer Skin Prep Dry Bushing is one of my favori Summer Skin Prep 

Dry Bushing is one of my favorite skin care routines and not only is it topically beneficial to remove dead skin, reveal soft skin, and treat cellulite, but also has many health benefits overall.  One of the most important health benefits of dry brushing is the ability to stimulate the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is made up of a network of tissues and organs that fights infections, bacteria in the blood and other toxins and is a essential part of the immune system which supports the body's defense against viruses, bacteria, infections and supports the body's natural detoxification processes. The Lymphatic system consists of Lymph fluid which is a water like substance made of white blood cells, among other immune fighting cells that protect against bacteria and infections in the blood.

One of the most efficient ways to detox is through the skin and dry brushing stimulates blood circulation which is needed for proper detoxification. Another way to stimulate the lymphatic system is by sweating with some form of physical exercise since the lymphatic system has no central pump to move the fluid through the network as efficiently. So regular exercise and stimulating techniques like dry brushing and massages help the body maintain strength and balance to support the immune system.

I dry brush 2-3 times a week or every other day with a natural bristle brush you can find at most holistic wellness stores and sites near you. 

All you need is 5 minutes before you shower for smooth soft skin with the added health benefits.

How to Dry Brush 
Start at the soles of your feet and brush upward to the stomach, toward the heart.

For the stomach, work in a clockwise direction.

Use firm, small strokes upward, or work in a circular motion.

When you get up to your upper body, start at your hands, up to your arms toward the heart.

Lightly and delicately brush your chest area toward the heart.

Make sure your motions are slow and gentle so you don't tear, scratch or irritate the skin.

Self Initiation The word "initiate" simply means Self Initiation

The word "initiate" simply means to start.  The moment you start to search for truth in any way, shape or form, you have actually started on your path of initiation. From then on, your initiation deepens in direct proportion to your efforts. Remember, input=output. There are many stages in any person's spiritual path. Each experience in a person's life journey is an initiation in itself, as certain realizations are made. Again, these are personal realizations and are dictated by your own progress and level of advancement. These, levels, have nothing to do with with the grades and titles adopted by "tribes", "covens", "spiritual house". An initiate advances by becoming aware. -Phillip Cooper

It is very important to build a personal relationship and foundation with the concept of what "spirituality" means to you.  Spirituality does not mean you have to be subordinate to anything or anyone outside of you. It does not mean that if you interact with your spirit guides or spiritual gifts that you will be "cursed" for doing it "wrong".  There is no right or wrong in your spiritual development, there is only truth, your truth.  Just because something is different does not mean its wrong, just that what works for me, may not work for you.

Many people nowadays rush to "initiate" into a religion, tradition or following without first honoring their own individuality. Not saying that a community is bad, just that each individual that makes up that whole should have some sense of their individual strengths.  If everyone is the same and no individual variations are displayed then you're technically in a cult when often times than not, the "leader" is demeaning, withholds information and manipulates others on the basis of the followers perceived weakness.

You are an individual.  There is no one else like you in existence, so it naturally follows that there is only one path for you to follow. Your Own.  Your path leads to truth, not someone else's truth, but your own truth concerning your magical true self and your relationship with the universe.  No teacher could ever lead you to truth. All that can ever be done is to show you the way.
Ancestral Perspective In order for you to be bor Ancestral Perspective 

In order for you to be born, you need two parents, four grandparents, eight great grandparents, 16 second great grandparents, 32 third great grandparents, etc. If you go all the way to ninth great grandparents, that’s 2,048  ancestors. If you go a little further to 12 generations, you have 4,094  ancestors.

Your DNA is from those 4,094 people that lived over the last 400 + years 

Think about that for a second especially when attempting to embrace, implement and integrate Ancestral veneration into our “modern” lifestyle. A society that overlooks traumas or the trend of “healers” seeking to heal others without addressing their own wounds. We must heal our current relationships especially those parental and familial wounds. Understand who/what hurt our parents, their parents and beyond. 
 
Think about how much trauma, pain, suffering, fear, and all of the low-density energy that was experienced by those people that lived in times where they didn’t have as much safety, knowledge, information, and security as we do now. 

It seems as though we have all this information and accessibility but refuse to acknowledge the truth. Ignorance simply means “to ignore” it is the root of the word, ignore what is so presently in our human experience. Life is beautiful, but the gesture of existence comes with its stipulations. 

We are here to live our lessons, material possessions are only consequentials to this realm, successive side effects of living in our truth and purpose.
“...the truth holds the greatest magic, the grea “...the truth holds the greatest magic, the greatest beauty and sometimes the greatest danger.”

The word "initiate" simply means to start.  The moment you start to search for truth in any way, shape or form, you have actually started on your path of initiation. From then on, your initiation deepens in direct proportion to your efforts. Remember, input=output. There are many stages in any person's spiritual path. Each experience in a person's life journey is an initiation in itself, as certain realizations are made. Again, these are personal realizations and are dictated by your own progress and level of advancement. These, levels, have nothing to do with with the grades and titles adopted by "tribes", "covens", "spiritual house". An initiate advances by becoming aware. -Phillip Cooper

It is very important to build a personal relationship and foundation with the concept of what "spirituality" means to you.  Spirituality does not mean you have to be subordinate to anything or anyone outside of you. It does not mean that if you interact with your spirit guides or spiritual gifts that you will be "cursed" for doing it "wrong".  There is no right or wrong in your spiritual development, there is only truth, your truth.  Just because something is different does not mean its wrong, just that what works for me, may not work for you.

Many people nowadays rush to "initiate" into a religion, tradition or following without first honoring their own individuality. Not saying that a community is bad, just that each individual that makes up that whole should have some sense of their individual strengths.  If everyone is the same and no individual variations are displayed then you're technically in a cult when often times than not, the "leader" is demeaning, withholds information and manipulates others on the basis of the followers perceived weakness.

You are an individual.  There is no one else like you in existence, so it naturally follows that there is only one path for you to follow. Your Own.  Your path leads to truth, not someone else's truth, but your own truth concerning your magical true self and your relationship with the universe.  No teacher could ever lead you to truth. All that can ever be done is to show you the way.
Ancestral Perspective In order for you to be bor Ancestral Perspective 

In order for you to be born, you need two parents, four grandparents, eight great grandparents, 16 second great grandparents, 32 third great grandparents, etc. If you go all the way to ninth great grandparents, that’s 2,048  ancestors. If you go a little further to 12 generations, you have 4,094  ancestors.

Your DNA is from those 4,094 people that lived over the last 400 + years 

Think about that for a second especially when attempting to embrace, implement and integrate Ancestral veneration into our “modern” lifestyle. A society that overlooks traumas or the trend of “healers” seeking to heal others without addressing their own wounds. We must heal our current relationships especially those parental and familial wounds. Understand who/what hurt our parents, their parents and beyond. 
 
Think about how much trauma, pain, suffering, fear, and all of the low-density energy that was experienced by those people that lived in times where they didn’t have as much safety, knowledge, information, and security as we do now. 

It seems as though we have all this information and accessibility but refuse to acknowledge the truth. Ignorance simply means “to ignore” it is the root of the word, ignore what is so presently in our human experience. Life is beautiful, but the gesture of existence comes with its stipulations. 

We are here to live our lessons, material possessions are only consequentials to this realm, successive side effects of living in our truth and purpose.
