A programme for IBS?
IBS is a distressing problem yet a recent trial at Manchester University showed that hynpnotherapy can be greatly beneficial in easing symtoms. Here at Wishing Well we have added to these results by combining hypnotherapy with a herbal product called Marshmallow and Chamomile combination which soothes and tones the digestive tract. This is a product from Nature's Sunshine so you can be assured that the products are organically sourced and extrememly potent.

Are you Getting Enough?
Bananas that is!
Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fibre. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has shown that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But giving us energy isn't the only way a banana can help us to keep fit. Eating bananas on a regular basis can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet. Here are some other benefits of bananas….
Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier (also found in Nature’s Sunshine – Synerprotein).
PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anaemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of haemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anaemia.
Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
Brain Power: 200 pupils at a school in Middlesex were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation: Bananas are high in fibre, so including them in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Losing Weight: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up which stops you reaching for chocolate and biscuits to get you over the ‘sugar dip’. Less junk food = more weight loss/stability.
Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
