Not in just any old place, of course, but whenever you come upon an old cobbled road or pathway, you’ll get some amazing benefits from taking your shoes and socks off and walking slowly over the cobbles barefoot.
Why?
Well, the Chinese do this all the time, because they know that the cobbles, being uneven but smooth underfoot actually massage the pressure points on the soles of your feet that equate to the same points that a reflexologist will use to sooth and heal. Simply by slowly walking along over the cobbles, you get a free foot massage!
This helps relax you and re-align the energy medians in your body making for better health and vitality in all your internal organs as well as give you a much needed lift in spirits and a more positive outlook on life.
I’ve tried it myself on a number of occasions. Here in some of the old white pueblos in southern Spain a lot of the old streets that haven’t been concreted over still have all the old smooth cobbles intact. On a warm sunny day, there is nothing better than to walk barefoot over these wonderfully smooth and soothing cobbles - to strange stares from some of the tourists that visit for the day!
I’ve never been one to take much notice of what other people might think of me - my own health and wellbeing is much more important to me than another person’s opinions!
Don’t just take my word for it, go try it for yourself. And smile when you’re doing it, because it really works!
For centuries, if not millennia this has been the staple tipple and permanent meal accompaniment of the French, Italians and Spanish as well as probably every one else who lives around the Mediterranean Sea!
Red wine has been produced and drunk by kings, landed gentry and peasants and all have benefited from it’s many relaxing and comforting properties. Red wine comes in many varieties, but they all in differing degrees have one very important thing in common.
Apart from the alcohol, that is.
Red wine contains certain chemicals known as flavenoids and in particular resveratol which are known to reduce your risk of heart disease and strokes. More recently their properties have been discovered to prevent many cancers. Better still, it has also been recently discovered that resveratol has anti-aging properties.
That doesn’t mean that your should go out and buy a few case-loads to drink by the gallon. There is a lot to be said for taking anything in moderation, and red wine in certainly one of them. To get the best of the healthy effects of red wine it’s believed that it should be drank at a rate of one glass per day.
Not so bad, really. You can still enjoy a glass with your main meal of the day, where you really can toast you good health!

The very mention of yeast infections can cause a nasty feeling inside. This is not something that women like to openly talk about, but often just suffer in silence. That’s until it gets to the point where they have no choice but to go to see their doctor.
A vaginal yeast infection is best described as an abnormal growth of yeast cells in the vagina. Such infections most commonly occur in women during their child bearing years, although they can happen at any age. They rarely lead to any serious health problems, which is good news. But the bad news is they can be quite uncomfortable. Worse is that the standard medical treatments don’t always work and can also have some nasty side effects.
What are the symptoms of a yeast infection?
The most common symptoms are:
vaginal itching, which can at times be very severe
vaginal discharge, which is usually white
red skin around the opening to the vagina
pain while urinating or touching the skin
pain in the vagina during sexual intercourse
These symptoms are most likely to occur about a week before the menstrual cycle begins.
Although most vaginal yeast infections can simply clear up on their own, in some cases this doesn’t happen and treatment is needed.
Modern medicine and natural healers tend to argue on this point. There are times when modern medicine recommends that it’s best to do nothing, such as when you’re pregnant because these treatments can be harmful to the baby. If that’s the case, then what are these medicines doing to your own body? It does make you think.
So what about the more serious cases?
Symptoms such as a high fever and lower abdominal pain associated with this fever can occur in the rare cases where your yeast infection is serious, although these symptoms don’t usually occur until you’ve had the infection for some time.
Obviously, the best time to treat it is in the early stages.
In cases where the yeast infection is considered serious, treatments include over the counter and prescription medications, which all have side effects and don’t always work.
So if this concerns you, what should you do? Do you just suffer with this condition?
The answer to that is no.
There are natural treatments available for vaginal yeast infections that have no harmful side effects. You don’t have to resort to dangerous drugs.

You’ll see that the suffering does not have to continue. You do not have to rely on your doctor to hand you a prescription for medicines filled with harmful side effects.
