For the most part, I can honestly say that I'm in pretty decent shape for an old woman over 60. As a matter-of-fact, I've been taking Balance of Nature for over a year and I feel fantastic when I don't forget to take my pills for the day. Oddly enough, now that I'm 67, I sometimes feel better than I did when I first hit my 60's. At the time, I was experiencing more of the joint pain that I only occasionally feel nowadays. Maybe I'm so used to it, I don't really know it's there anymore. Whatever the case, I'm glad I only have my “old folks” aches and pains on an occasional basis. And THANK GOD, the carpal tunnel syndrome I used to suffer from, doesn't still bother me. The following list contains some of the many ways I used to combat the joint pain I felt in various parts of my body. I also share the item I sincerely believe helped to all but cure my carpal tunnel when I was in my 40's, even though like everything else, the pain returned periodically, when I was in my early 60's. These items can help people who aren't dealing with joint conditions that require them to be under a doctor's care. If that's the case, any medication or medical treatments and remedies should be approved by your physician.
I have qualifications in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Time Line Therapy (TLT), Hypnotherapy and Reiki. I have exposure to (and have dabbled in) many natural therapies over the years including Chinese Herbs, Homeopathy, Kinesiology, Naturopathy, Acupuncture, Chiropractic, Massage (of various types), Iridology, Essential Oils, Gems and Reflexology. Likely there's more I'm not thinking of at this moment. Having said all this, I am not a medical practitioner and don't offer medical recommendations - just my own experiences. I am a huge believer in the mind/body connection and the language of the body that can teach us so many learnings to release trapped emotions and imbalances that cause dis-ease.
