Traveling with Ease and Health
by Meridian Grace N.D.
Many of my clients have traveled abroad to India, Europe, Peru, and South America and asked me how to safely and naturally deal with some of the challenges of traveling. Recently it was my turn; I went to India for a month and enjoyed the 21 day process. I was overjoyed to experience radiant health and energy the whole time there. So to be of assistance, I have compiled a list of natural products that we carry in our pharmacy which we could bundle for you to help your trip be filled with grace and ease.
Jet lag
For this we use 1 of 4 possible products for this. One is a homeopathic combination called No Jet-Lag, another is melatonin, the third a homeopathic melatonin and the fourth is a homeopathic product to support the pineal gland.
Melatonin is a natural hormone that is released by the pineal gland. It helps to regulate sleep. I also recommend that you bring some form of sleep mask or use a sock, shawl or something to lay over your eyes when you sleep to reduce the light. This helps your body to produce your own Melatonin. It is always best to sleep in pitch black when you can. At the Golden City this is impossible, but these measures can help a lot. If one takes 1 or 2 drops before going to bed every evening for a week (for this example, let us say 10PM) before the journey and then one takes it at the same time in India (12 hour time difference, so one would take it at 10AM while in India) for the entire trip, then upon returning home, resume taking it at bed time, (10PM) people have found very little problem with jet-lag. For those who are not interested in taking actual melatonin, there are two homeopathic preparations. One of homeopathic melatonin and the other called Liquinesence Pineal. Each of these options has worked very well for my clients. When I have the opportunity, I muscle test them to find out which one is ideal.
Parasites or Bowel Problems
The second area has to do with protection from parasites and diarrhea or constipation. I have found that a product that is made with a time release form of betaine hydrochloric acid works best for this. If the hydrochloric acid is high enough in an individual, parasites can not make it past the stomach into the GI tract. One simply takes 1 pill 4 times a day and it keeps "Montezuma's Revenge" from showing up. If you have a tendency toward constipation under stress, the answer for you is what one of my clients fondly calls "poonami" pills. These are made from the green outer layer of the aloe plant. They do not cause gripping and they do get the job done. I recommend starting with 2 in the evening before bed. If you do not have a bowel movement the next night, try 4, 6, etcetera until the job is accomplished. You can decide on your appropriate dose dependant upon your stool. If too loose cut back on 1 till you find yourself happy with your stool.
Protecting yourself from microbes is easily accomplished with a special form of catalytic silver that we carry. It can be placed in a small spay bottle that you can carry in a pouch and spray it on your hands whenever you touch a door knob, etc. We also have a little nasal pump that you can use to apply this while in the airplane or when exposed to anyone who may be sick. It is also recommended to take a teaspoon in a glass of water 2 times a day to prevent bacterial, viral or fungal infection. I recommend you bring a fingernail brush also to clean your fingernails with the silver to prevent any infections. (Nail beds lead right into the vascular system of the body.) If you kill microbes on contact, then your immune system can spend its time elsewhere. Your immune system will reward you with excellent health.
Insects, particularly mosquitoes can be a problem. I make a combination of neem oil with lavender, a rain forest oil combination to prevent skin parasites, and yalang yalang with a carrier oil of almond. Mosquitoes don't like it nor do most insects. It's great to know that you can enjoy the beautiful sunsets and sunrises with out being eaten alive by these infection-causing pests.
Overall health support
My favorite nutrient combination for optimal energy and well-being includes the following: The first is called Max stress B. This is an end chain liquid B vitamin. The next is DHLA, the end chain of alpha lipoic acid and one of the best anti-oxidants around. The third is Nano Green Tea to prevent radiation contamination, (especially helpful while on the plane) and the last is fulvic acid water processed called Energy Boost. This multi-mineral is exceptional for supporting electrical synapse connections from your brain to all the organs, glands and cells of your body. Synapse communication is how your body is directed to function from your brain. I find it to be especially helpful to have lots of electrolytes when giving and receiving deeksha. I combine all these liquids into one bottle, take 3 teaspoons and put it into a water bottle 2 times a day, and sip on it all day long. It has become a favorite of my clients. For some I recommend adding a little CoQ-Quinol. This is so beneficial for cellular energy. Just a little pricy.
I also bag up a combination of whey powder, tocotriene, lecithin and Pure Synergy with a little birch sugar, and bring a pound of almond butter. I blend this combination with the almond butter for a nutritious snack. It tastes similar to a raw cookie and is loaded with nutrition. In fact, more than most people get in a few days of eating with just one 4-ounce serving.
If you are interested, we can provide you with manufacturer information about each of these products, as well as a price list, etcetera. Just give a call to the office and let us know which area or areas you would like to address for yourself. We can give you the cost of each item and arrange for you to pick them up or mail them to you.
May your journeys bring you everything your deep heart desires.
