Royal Jelly has long been regarded as one of nature’s super foods due to its rejuvenative, antibiotic and anti-bacterial properties.   It has many uses but is perhaps most often recommended by herbalists to women experiencing menopause, menstruation and fertility problems and to men who are looking to increase their sex drive, sperm count and stamina!

Royal Jelly is a rich source of protein, contains numerous valuable amino acids and B vitamins and as a result has many applications (aside from those already mentioned) in natural medicine. (more…)

As the search for the secret to eternal youth continues so too do the effects of pollution, wind and sun on our skin. It is a race against time as life and the elements take their toll leaving skin feeling dry, lacking in lustre with signs of sun damage and wrinkles forming.

None of this appeals to us in this ever increasing image conscious culture. If we can protect our skin from the elements, maintain the moisture levels and heal damage then we can defy the aging process and put off wrinkles for a little while longer. (more…)

When we think of honey, we think of sweet, sticky goo that we add to dishes as a sweetener but in terms of honey’s medicinal properties most of us know very little. It’s most commonly known medicinal use is as a soothing relief for a sore throat, but it can be used to treat so much more.

Actual synthetic Human Growth Hormone can only be administered by injection, and rightly only by a Medical Practitioner. This form of Human Growth Hormone is only given to people who have a growth hormone deficiency or those who are willing to pay for expensive and painful treatment. However, this is not the only solution for those of us who are seeking an alternative treatment, as evidence is now available which maintains that as we get older our Pituitary Gland does not stop producing Growth Hormone, only the rate in which it releases it. Therefore, there are now many oral Growth Hormone Releasers, known as Growth Secretagogues¹, readily available on the market. (more…)

As we age, the cells that make up our skin become altered and misshapen.  The ability to naturally exfoliate the skin cells on the surface of our skin becomes slower, and the moisture that we were once able to retain slowly dries up.  As this ageing process progresses dead skin cells start to build up on the surface of our skin, which blocks pores and makes patches of skin discolouration visible.  Retinol-A has been found to help reduce this ageing effect, and to also reverse some of the damage that has been done; but how?  (more…)

Green Tea originates from China, where the medicinal benefits have been recognised and used for thousands of years.  It has been associated with many cultures including Asia, the Middle East, and Japan, and has been the subject of many different and varied scientific studies, especially over the past few decades with the realisation of its attributes.
