May - Nutrition & bloating

ST36 Leg 3 Mile
Located below you knee on the lateral side (outside edge).
If you flex your foot you will feel the Tibialis Anterior Muscle ‘popping’ into your hand, this is the point you want to hold, massage, rub on both legs (all points are bilateral).
As per usual give it attention for at least 1 full minute multiple times per day.

A great point to used after eating to help with digestion, also a magic wee slot for endurance, ask the Chinese Army, they would use it every 3 miles on their way to battle - hence the name.

What a stunning weekend off the grid at in Marlborough.
We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful place, surrounded by friendly and inspiring folk, talented musicians and craftsmanship.
Thanks Akitu for the opportunity to share my passion of holistic healing via a workshop, reminding the body of its own healing abilities.
See you again next year https://www.facebook.com/share/17MCjL1skX/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Brain health using reflexology and acupressure.

Ever noticed how people tap or strum their fingers when thinking? Maybe you’ve done it yourself; it’s the bodies way of recalling information, because the brain reflex is in the tips of our fingers (and toes, maybe that’s why we stub our toes, to remind us the table legs is there 🤪).

Acupressure points such as SP1 Hidden White & SP2 Great Metropolis are just two of many points that help with brain fog as well as digestion.
The Spleen Meridian is all about transforming and transporting fluid around the body, yes that means cerebrospinal fluid too, used to protect the brain, nervous system and for nutrient transport (much akin to synovial fluid for the joints).
The gut / brain connection benefits greatly from these points, harmonizing the digestive system and therefore making the nutrients more readily available - for body and brain.

May is fast approaching and we look further into our digestion with addressing bloating

Digestion for brain health

As 30% of the nutrients we eat each day are required by our brain, we may as well give our body a wee helping hand.
ST36 Leg 3 Mile point, is most effective after eating, or during movement, as it helps with digestion, absorption and physical endurance.
The Chinese army are said to have benefited from this point on their long marches to battle; every 3 miles they would in unison, rubb this point bilaterally for at least one full minute and carry on again.
Give it a go, eating or moving :)

Eating for Brain health

30% of our daily nutrients go straight to our brain.
If you are eating ultra processed food packaged food) and wondering why you have no energy and suffering from mental fog, keep reading.

Ultra processed food has little to no water content, it has generally been processed by some way of heating which destroys the nutrient profile of any raw ingredients it started out with.
It will contain some sort of preservative to keep its shelf life, these can also be harmful to our health.

The fresher the food is, the more nutrient dense it is.

Some of the vitamins and minerals needed for our brain health include:

*Magnesium - memory/sleep
*Zinc - neurotransmitter function
*Calcium- neuromessaging
*Folic acid (Vit B9) - nerve tissue health
*Vit C - Dopemine production / feel good hormone

(More info on this in our previous FB reels)

Think Mediterranean food, fresh, raw produce.

* green leafy vege - asparagus, spinach
* oily fish / omegas - salmon, tuna, sardine
* berries - strawberries, blueberries
* nuts - Brazil nuts, macadamia, almonds
* wholegrains - bran, wild rice, quinoa, oats

Shopping the outside isles of the supermarket is generally the way to go, nothing that still has water content, such as fresh fruit and vege, milk, yogurts, cheese as well as tinned / canned goods and fresh meat as oppose to (processed sliced meat). These are going to be much more beneficial for your health over all.

Eat a range of colours and support local farmers markets if possible.

The fresher it is, the more nutrient dense it will be.

Calm the farm #5
Deep breathes
When you’re out and about or even in your own garden, there’s plenty to breath in that will help help your nervous system. (And Rosemary is great for memory too).

Bring down your nervous system and relax into some sweet smells :)

‘Calm the Farm’ #4
Swallowing

Our vagus nerve stimulates motor control to the muscles of the pharynx and larynx, (throat & voice box), initiating our swallow reflex and protecting the airway.
This wonderous nerve also controls esophageal movement (a funky wee word called ‘peristalsis’; the same word is given to our intestinal movement to help move food along its pathway).

As the vagus nerve stimulates our swallow reflex has a follow on effect the brain to promote calming of the nervous system.
So given that our vagus nerve controls the larynx also, the same effect is also carried by humming and gargling.
Which will you try??

Calm the farm - Grounding
While the jury may still be out on the health Benefits of Grounding aka Earthing, there have been many research projects carried out and the general consensus is that it may indeed help with:
- Reducing Inflammation & Pain:
- Improving sleep
- Increase cardiovascular health
- Reduce stress & anxiety
- Promote wound healing
- Assist the immune system

Free radicals floating around in your body will have a hard time evading the earths electrons.
Grass, sand, soil, what ever takes your fancy, or if you are immune compromised and wish there are alternatives such as grounding sheets and mats :)
Even if just one of these is beneficial, the combo of a snooze, a little careful sun time and the warm ground supporting you, is bound to relax your nervous system, so why wouldn’t you??!
