ts entreat us to buy tissues that will "catch" flu. But the assumption that germs are like muggers, lurking on street corners waiting to strike, is rather misleading. In reality we're exposed to thousands of viruses and bacteria every day, but it's our inner terrain that determines whether and infection will be destroyed before it ever
makes us ill.

This condition affects more women than men, and can occur quite early on in life. It causes the 
blood supply to the hands and feet (and sometimes other areas such as the nose) to be interrupted, upon which those areas turn white then blue as the oxygen supply runs out, and then red as the blood supply is finally resumed. During the white and blue stages, cold and numbness are the primary features, but the return of feeling can be exquisitely painful.

During the last trimester of pregnancy and the first two years of life, fatty acids are gradually incorporated into a child's brain cells. One of the most mportant fatty acids for the brain is docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega 3 fatty acid.

Mother's Little Helpers,
Getting back to school can be a time of stress for mums and kids alike. There is no replacement for a good diet, some exercise and a good night's sleep, but if all else fails a gentle natural remedy can help calm those jangled nerves.
Californian Poppy has been used as a sedative for children where there is over-excitability and sleeplessness. Californian Poppy contains alkaloids and in particular one called californidine. This plant is a natural hypnotic: it prepares for peaceful sleeping problems, particularly nightmares, waking during the night and difficulties in falling asleep. It is non-adictive and has no side-affects. It can be used by adults.
Alternatively, Vervain is a traditional herb that strengthens and restores the nervous system whilst relaxing and tension and stress, which is also safe for children aged 6 and over. For adults can be used to ease depression and melancholia, especially when this follows an illness such as influenza.
