Each month, we focus on topics from A to Z. This month, it’s Creativity.

Sorry that I missed March’s newsletter.  I have been working on many projects this month, which is why the subject of “Creativity” is on my mind.

 ”What does Creativity have to do with health?” you might ask.  “A lot!” would be my answer.

In Alternative Medicine, we believe that health means freedom.  It’s not only freedom from disease, it’s the freedom to express ourselves in healthy ways, to express that spirit within.

How do you express yourself?  Maybe you like building websites.  Not everybody is the traditional artist who paints or sculpts.  Maybe you like creating a beautiful flower garden.  Or rebuilding a classic car.  Or maybe you like knitting a lovely scarf or creating a hand-beaded necklace to give as gifts to your loved ones.

Anything that expresses your creativity enhances your mental, emotional, and spiritual health.  And thus enhances your physical health.

Think about this idea today.  Are you expressing your creativity in some healthy way?

I searched for some websites about creativity to give you this month.  I found some free video websites on how to do knitting, crochet, and bead-work.  If you men are thinking, “Well, what about me?”  Have a look at the knitting videos and you’ll see a video called “Real Men Knit.”  Yes, men knit, too, and have been doing so for a very long time.

Meditation can help center your thoughts, calm your mind, and help you find your creative self.  So this month, I have included a free ebook on Meditation and Yoga.

Happy Creating!

What is it about herbal medicine and natural supplements that make so many doctors flinch? Is it that these supplements are actually not good for us, or is it something else? While some doctors are beginning to support patient use of herbal medicine such as Echinacea, others are highly opposed to the use of some of the most beneficial herbal medicine on the market.

There is some reason for caution on the part of the medical community: many of these herbal remedies have not been tested thoroughly by the FDA. However, many people claim that they will continue using herbal medicine despite the opinion of the FDA. So who is right? Many holistic practitioners feel that anything that seems to work does, in fact, work; therefore, there is no harm in drinking an herbal tea or taking a supplement to support and boost one’s immune system.

Do you want blogging advice?  Alvin Phang is your man.  He created Atomic Blogging.

Like many others, I had the idea to try to make money online.  But where to start?  After a bit of online research, I discovered this idea of affiliate marketing. 

OK, great idea. But how do I get the word out to the Internet buying public?  I didn’t know how to build a website.  The more I Google searched on the subject, the more I kept reading about blogs.  Everyone was saying how blogs are now THE way to attract web traffic to your product.

I created a few free blogs on Blogger but soon discovered how limited they were.  I needed some sound blogging advice.  With a bit more googling, I found Alvin Phang’s sales page for Atomic Blogging.

The first thing that caught my eye was the word “Newbie!”  Hey, that’s me!  Alvin said that even if I was a newbie, he could give me blogging advice on how to start a blog and show me how to drive web traffic to it.  I decided to give Atomic Blogging a go.

My first concern was to make sure that Atomic Blogging was going to give me blogging advice to produce the kind of blog I wanted to produce.  Lots of “make money online” schemes out there are only about making money reselling the product you just bought.  I wanted to sell products related to my niche:  Alternative Health & Alternative Medicine.  With the help of Atomic Blogging, I have done just that.

Alvin’s step-by-step blogging advice manual was so easy to follow, that I had a domain name, a web-hosting account, and a WORDPRESS blog up and running in no time. 

Atomic Blogging taught me all about that mysterious subject: keywords.  I learned how to find the best ones and how to use them effectively in my blog posts.  I learned how to get my blog picked up by social marketing sites and search engines.

If you are a newbie like me, my best blogging advice is to go see Alvin at Atomic Blogging.

If you want to see my blogs that benefited from Atomic Blogging’s blogging advice, go see my:

Each month, we focus on topics from A to Z. This month, it’s Anxiety.

But don’t get anxious about it! We are going to be positive about it and put emphasis on solutions.

Everyone will have different reasons why a situation causes them anxiety. As a rule it’s usually when we don’t feel in control of a situation, then we feel the situation tightening around us, causing us to feel anxiety.

If anxiety is caused by us not feeling in control of a situation, the answer is to try and reverse this, and regain that control. The good news is: YOU CAN!

So, let’s start looking at some of those tools you can use for stress management.

One of the tools available to you is self-change hypnosis, a technique developed by Richard MacKenzie. His program on Stress Management is excellent and has an 8-week money back guarantee.

A little help from our herbal allies is worth looking at, too.

Magnolia Officinalis (known in Chinese medicine as houpu) is a species of Magnolia tree that is native to the mountains and valleys of China. The highly aromatic bark contains magnolol and honokiol, two compounds that have demonstrated anti-anxiety properties.

Phellodendron Amurense, or the Amur Corkree, also grows in China, and in parts of Japan.

A herbal remedy called Relora combines Magnolia Officinalis and Phellodendron Amurense. This combination maintains normal levels of certain hormones in the body (cortisol and DHEA), in order to control anxiety and stress and their related symptoms, like weight gain. This herbal combination helps in producing and promoting relaxation and good feelings of high self-esteem.

Next month, it’s B. So what do you think, babies or bodycare? Stay tuned to Healthy-Woman.info and see!
