SWEDISH BITTERS

Time's flying. I've joined the ehow website and am writing articles on 'how to...'. The first article teaches a relaxation technique I learnt at acting school. It not only relaxes you but is a wonderful way to approach sleep if stress and anxiety are getting in the way.

I've just added Self Heal Swedish Bitters Facial Scrub to the site. This scrub is not only great for the face it can be made into a poultice for pressure sores - multitasking aye?! I've also added Self Heal Swedish Bitters Tonic too because it is a very popular remedy for assisting healthy immune and digestive systems and it also supports healthy kidney and hormonal function.

BACK AT HQ

The school holidays have just finished - phew - and I'm back at work. Tashi and Jet had a wonderful holiday especially when we spent a few days at a farm in North Wairarapa. It was a very isolated place which added to the adventure. The farmers really showed the boys what life is like on the farm with rides on tracters, quad bikes and activities like mustering sheep and feeding chickens, pigs, and BULLS.

It was very cold at night and I'm glad my backpacking days are still fresh in my mind because I made sure we were prepared with warm sleeping bags, bush shirts, woolly hats, a torch, gumboots...

Back at Purecurenz HQ I'm marketing like crazy, packing and sending items and ordering in new ranges for the site. Watch out for the very funky and richly soothing Global soaps and naturally healing Trisha's ointments. As always I'm trying to focus on New Zealand plants but most ranges tend to mix native NZ with introduced plants. It's early days yet really because there is very little commercialism of NZ plants and many are wild-collected for the remedies and skincare. And that's great really because you know they are truly natural and Regenerate are totally 100% certified organic.
