During the month of August CALM will cost you only $20 and it will last you 4-5 weeks.
The CALM remedy has been a flagship remedy in my clinic for some time and it has helped many people find more relaxation, a head less busy and overwhelmed, better sleep, and generally a better sense of being able to cope with the day. Due to the reduction in stress levels, some stress-related physical complaints can also improve when using this remedy.
CALM can be used alongside any medication or medical treatments and does not interact or interfere. CALM can be used with children and teenagers as well. If you order this remedy with them in mind, I will adjust the dosage to their age.

Remember: if you are looking for something more specific to your personal circumstances, please contact me and we will create a remedy unique to your needs.

Countdown surprise.

Charles from Lynmouth - Moturoa

I clearly misheard the advertising but was disappointed today that Countdown Spotswood advised I would not get my Tuesday Gold Card discount. Apparently it only applies to Stratford and Hawera locally. I might have to go to New World next time.

A Hot Bath
Create a bedtime schedule that includes a hot bath or shower. Take it about two hours before lying down. Add a couple drops of essential oils such as chamomile, rosemary, lavender, or lemon to the water for a more efficient experience. It will soothe your nerves and help you calm down; it's a simple step to add to your at-home remedies for insomnia.

Tart Cherry Juice
An excellent source of tryptophan, tart cherry juice is a natural sleep aid. The amino acid transforms to serotonin, which in turn converts to melatonin. Serotonin helps regulate your sleep cycles. Melatonin can lower your body temperature and lead to drowsiness. Indulge in a half cup (up to one cup) of tart cherry juice and allow yourself to drift off to sleep.

Chamomile Tea
Tea, in general, is an at-home remedy for several health ailments. Chamomile tea has been related to treating sleeping problems for centuries. A compound known as apigenin in chamomile might be the key to the natural drowsiness.

Perhaps there was little demand but I am unaware this was the case. I wonder if anybody else has come across any other foreign language books being removed. There is a diverse range of ethnicities in New Plymouth now so should we not be trying to cater for these people who no doubt pay their rates like everybody else.
