Try Our Special Herbal Teas

When you come to our clinic, you may find a pot of herbal tea on our reception counter that you can help yourself to. Often these are organic teas formulated by an Ayurvedic herbalist for specific health benefits. The one we have been serving lately is Rumi’s Blend, which contains tulsi, rose, peppermint, lemon myrtle & blue cornflowers. This combination is designed to have a calming and balancing effect on the mind and body. It contains adaptogenic herbs to reduce cortisol (stress hormone) levels, calms the nervous system, and is helpful for meditation.

Feel free to pop into our clinic and have a taste of whichever tea is on offer that day. As well as Rumi’s Blend, we also stock a number of other herbal teas, including Miss Hibiscus (high in antioxidants, some people have found it helps their eyes) and Zen Zai (for boosting the immune system) by the same Ayurvedic herbalist.

Product of the Month: MooGoo Udder Cream

Nourishing and Healing for the Skin

The Skin Milk Udder Cream is very nourishing for the skin, and has healing ingredients as well. It is completely natural, easily penetrates the skin, and is non-greasy. The cream is full of skin repair ingredients and milk proteins for skin elasticity. It is great for people with allergies or sensitive skin.

Udder Cream is being recommended by a number of oncologists and hospitals in Australia due to its efficacy in helping the recovery from chemo and radiotherapy induced dermatitis. A clinical trial initiated by the Royal Brisbane Women's Hospital making a comparison between the use of sorbolene and MooGoo Skin Milk Udder Cream is currently underway.

Here is a testimonial from the MooGoo website:

“Hi MooGoo,

I feel compelled to write to you as I cannot thank you enough for creating your Udder Cream. I recently went through treatment for skin cancer on my face. Wow, I have never experienced pain like that before, I'd rather give birth back to back 5 times than do that again. I was in so much pain once the treatment was over, I was beside myself. My face was swollen, weeping and bleeding. I went to the doctor got a script for pain killers and cortisone ointment but after 2 days it was still so painful, I was desperate for relief even if it was just 5 minutes. My dear parents asked what they could do and I remembered I had used your udder cream before on my daughter who suffers every now and then from eczema and how it gave her relief. They bought me a tube and it was instant relief, it soothed and felt so cool on face it made me feel sane again. The change in my skin in just a few days was miraculous. My family couldn't believe it.”

Product of the Month: Talyala Emu Oil

Anti-Inflammatory for Muscles, Joints, & Skin

The main benefits of emu oil are:

1. Strong Natural Anti-Inflammatory: Emu oil is very good at soothing and reducing inflammation.

2. Excellent Penetration Into the Skin and Deeper Tissues: The skin is designed to prevent things getting into and out of the body easily, so most products don't penetrate below the outer layers of our skin. However emu oil does, so muscle pain or joint pain and skin conditions deeper than the skin surface can be reached by it. This is especially important for inflamed muscles, arthritis and tendonitis.

3. Reduces Risk of Infection: Pure emu oil is bacteriostatic - it cannot grow bacterial organisms.

4. Nourishes the Skin and Deeper Tissues: Most skin products and moisturisers only reach the outer few layers of skin. However emu oil penetrates, hydrates and nourishes the skin from within.

What Does It Treat?

Emu oil is often very effective for:

• Joint pain, muscle pain, and arthritis
• Sports injuries
• Skin disorders such as eczema, psoriasis, acne, rosacea, keloid scarring, burns, sunburn, and general dryness
• It also increases the healing rate of open wounds (probably due to its anti-inflammatory effect), and reduces the risk of infection

And you only use a very small amount of it.

Here is a testimonial from the Talyala Emu Oil website:

"I was put on to the use of emu oil from the recommendation of a relative who spoke highly of the benefits of its use. So I thought I would give it a go, ..... and have been sold ever since! That was 3 years ago. ..... I put it on each morning after I have a shower. In the past I have tried all the various creams with limited effects and cost wise, I am a mile in front. It's great for very dry skin, especially around my heels. ..... I find that you only need a drop, it certainly goes a long way, its non-greasy, easily absorbed into the skin. I have also had arthritis in a finger joint, it was hard to bend my finger, I used the oil over a week, the inflammation went away, and I got movement back. I can't speak highly enough of the benefits of the oil, my whole family use it now for heat rashes, dry skin, ..... I don't hesitate in using it."

We have researched many emu oil products, and believe that this one is the best. (You will not get the same results with cheaper brands.)
