JULY-AUGUST 2000

Holiday kit The beautiful summer days are finally here. We can enjoy the fragrant smell of flowers or freshly cut grass. And we think about our upcoming holidays. After all, we have worked so hard; we have really earned them! So we need to prepare ourselves, and it is with great pleasure that I will suggest to you some herbal extracts which will surely please everyone in the family. With holidays, comes sunny days; and it is important to protect our skin from the sun. But if you are suffering from a sunburn because you have forgotten to apply your skin lotion, apply Mugwort on the burn. You will certainly appreciate it! Often, our heaviest meal accompanied by alcohol is eaten at the end of the day. And we have a hard time digesting. D-W will ease the digestion. Always carry a bottle with you every where you go. When travelling, no one is protected from viruses or bacteria which we may contract by food or water. They can cause fever, vomiting and diarrhoea. Always carry a bottle of F.V.E.-W (#780) with you. It will prevent many problems. Add Arnica (#25) and Formula #5 (#769) to your travelling kit. Apply Arnica on bruises and injuries, and Formula #5 (#769) on sprains and sports injuries; because we often play sports without warming up first. Each one of us enjoys beautiful summer evenings, but we all hate to be invaded by bugs. Cajeput oil (#245) repels bugs and Virginia snake root (#461), a poison antidote, treats the mosquito when applied on the affected area. Finally, it would be recommended to take a B-vitamin supplement such as B-W (#716), at the beginning of the summer, since it acts like a pesticide. And this is all you need to enjoy a wonderful summer. Nathalie Lebrun n.d Happy summer holiday...
