Health Renewal and Infusion Therapy

A couple of weeks ago I attended an extremely interesting presentation on Infusion Therapy… a bespoke treatment available from the Health Renewal Clinic.

‘Select your IV Infusion “cocktail” and get “infused” about life and living well!’

Are you constantly tired, listless or struggling with your weight? And no matter what supplements you take, what changes you make to your diet or your efforts to get more exercise, you still don’t feel better? Or maybe you have a skin condition that no lotions or potions have been able to improve?

It could be that you are treating the symptoms and not the cause. And you may not even be aware of the underlying cause of the ailment.

Many of us try to self medicate by taking a variety of supplements, but as I heard at the presentation… self medication is like having a play chemistry set and experimenting. There are a multitude of supplements out there and if you are not educated, how do you know what your body really needs? Or you may very well be taking the supplements that your body needs, but there may be other factors at play:

‘Nutrient absorption by oral supplementation is affected and limited by factors such as gastrointestinal absorption which can be affected by diseases such as gastritis, colitis, leaky gut syndrome, bacterial and/or fungal overgrowth and imbalance, stress and anxiety.’

This is why Infusion Therapy is so effective – the infusions bypass the gut and that means that all the nutrients that you receive via infusion, is absorbed by the body.

What makes this treatment so unique is the fact that every treatment is individually designed. One size does not fit all and the experts at the Health Renewal Clinic understand biological individuality and treat you as such; an individual.

Health Renewal’s aim is to improve quality of life and they believe that prevention is better than cure.

Africa Organics Hair Treatment Oil

The lovely ladies from Faithful to Nature sent me the Africa Organics Baobab Hair Treatment Oil a couple of weeks ago and I am completely in love with this product.

As you know I am on a quest to get this ‘mop kop’ looking good and I have been trying a few sulphate free shampoos (have a look at my posts HERE, HERE and HERE) and treatments to get my damaged and extremely dry hair looking good again.

Of course I was very excited when I received this oil and couldn’t wait to get home to try it. Like a little kid at Christmas I ripped open the parcel and already gave the product a wiff at the office. Heaven I tell you. Sweet and lovely.

The oil comes in a tube with a very handy pump nozzle. I really like the packaging as I can dispense the amount I need and there’s no mess.

I was expecting a hair oil that mostly consists of silicones (as I’ve been seeing so many of them doing the rounds lately), but to my surprise this product is just oil and 100% of the total ingredients are from natural origin. The oils include Jojoba, Baobab and orange peel.

It can be applied generously as a treatment or you can apply a teensy bit after styling to combat frizzies and flyaways. I do both. What I really love about it is that it feels as though my hair absorbs the oil; it doesn’t just coat the hair. I often apply quite a bit of oil to my ends before going to bed and I don’t even have to cover my pillowcase as my hair seems to suck up every bit of goodness that it offers.

The condition of my hair has improved dramatically over the last couple of weeks, and this is due to going sulphate free and because of this wonder oil.

NOTE: I heard this morning that Africa Organics has changed the oil… I almost had heart failure as I need more!

BUT apparently the oil is now slightly different but BETTER. I can’t wait to try the new Africa Organics Marula Hair Treatment Oil. I already think the Baobab treatment is perfection, so I can’t wait to get my hands on the Marula treatment.

If you have dry, damaged or colour treated hair, or your hair just needs a bit of TLC during these harsh colder months, I highly recommend you try it.

African Organics Hair Treatment Oil retails for R85 for 50ml and you can buy it on line from Faithful to Nature.
