<p><span><em>&#8220;Algas marinhas, amêndoa doce e vegetais de folhas verdes são alternativa para o antidepressante&#8221;</em></span></p>
<p><span>A depressão pós parto também chamada pôs parto &#8220;Blues&#8221; é uma experiência muito natural que as mulheres vivenciam nos primeiros meses de maternidade. Essa experiência não só afeta a mãe como também o bebê e o pai e a intensidade desta experiência vai depender do estado mental, emocional e físico de cada pessoa.</span></p>
<p><span>Pesquisas mostram que 50% dos maridos cuja as esposas ou parceiras sofrem essa depressão, também experienciam sintomas similares. E uma fase de transição, uma nova adaptação, um crescimento, uma evolução interna. Para muitas mulheres esta <em>&#8216;</em>transição pode ocorrer ainda grávida, para outras, pode ser que aconteça depois do primeiro ano de vida do bebê. É uma maneira que a natureza nos proporcionou de desintoxicar o corpo e superar as fraquezas e o medo do desconhecido. </span><span> A </span><span>depressão pós parto é uma experiência positiva, comum e </span><span>necessária. </span></p>
<p><span>Geralmente os motivos</span><span> passam despercebidos e talvez mal  interpretados por falta de conhecimento e conexão interna. A causa desta depressão na maioria das vezes pode esta relacionada com a falta de apoio social, problemas conjugais, estresse de vida, desequilíbrio hormonal, perda da identidade e da liberdade como também falta de energia e dificuldade em dormir.</span></p>
<p><span>Por outro </span><span>lado pode ser que a mulher esteja passando por ansiedade, tenha tido uma experiência difícil e desagradável durante o parto ou simplesmente que a criança seja difícil.</span></p>
<p><span>É importante entender que todas as experiências negativas desnecessárias durante a gestação pode prejudicar o desenvolvimento<br />
do cérebro do bebê, que expressa crescente ansiedade e menor capacidade para atenção. Consequentemente contribuindo para a depressão pos- parto.</span></p>
<p><span>A má nutrição e falta de importante nutrientes na comida pode ser também um fator responsável por exarcerbar o sintoma da depressão em 80% dos casos. </span></p>
<p><span>A hypótese neurohormonal sugere que a causa da depressão pós parto é devido a queda abrupta de hormônios.</span></p>
<p><span>Durante a gravidez o nível de estrogênio e progesterona aumenta ao máximo diminuindo rapidamente nas primeiras 24 a 48 horas depois do parto. </span></p>
<p><span>Esse declínio rápido de hormônio parece alterar a atividade do sistema nervoso causando disordens psiquiátricas nas mulheres mais vulneráveis.</span></p>
<p><span>Na maioria dos casos o tratamento convencional é a base de antidepressante como </span><span>o Haldol </span><span>e o Prozac.</span></p>
<p><span>Os sintomas da depressão parecem ser muito similares em muitas mulheres. Como por exemplo chorar frequentemente sem motivo aparente, exaustão, tristeza, desinteresse pelo bebé ou medo de machucá-lo, se sentir culpada, sem esperança, inadequada, confusa, </span><span>fora de controle.</span></p>
<p><span>Muitas mulheres experienciam mal humor, vergonha, falta de concentração e clareza mental, pensamentos psicóticos e destrutivos.</span></p>
<p><span>Uma das minhas-clientes relatou que ela costumava checar o bebé todas a as noites, aproximadamente 20 vezes em um </span><span>intervalo de </span><span>duas horas.</span></p>
<p><span>Portanto é </span><span>importante nessa etapa procurar ajuda, conversar com alguém de confiança de preferência um terapeuta, e não suprimir as emoções ou pensamentos pois eles acontecem e são temporários.</span></p>
<p><span><strong>TRATAMENTO</strong></span></p>
<p><span>A finalidade do tratamento é repor a energia, regular o desequilíbrio hormonal e emocional e aumentar os super nutrientes do corpo.</span></p>
<p><span><strong>Desequilíbrio hormonal</strong></span></p>
<p><span>Sempre que o corpo está em desequilíbrio hormonal ele se torna ácido enfraquecendo o sistema imunológico, dificultando a digestão, assimilação e eliminação de nutrientes.</span></p>
<p><span>As sementes de girassol  e abóbora são ricas em minerais e hormônios muito eficiente no tratamento de problemas emocionais. </span></p>
<p><span>Vinagre de maçã é uma excelente escolha, de preferencia o .</span></p>
<p><span>O vinagre pode ser usado como substituto do creme.</span></p>
<p><span> <strong>Super nutrientes</strong></span></p>
<p><span>A </span><span>amêndoa é mais nutritiva do que o leite de vaca e 100% superior. Ela é rica em calcium, manganez, phosphoro, ferro, potássio e Vitamina A. Amêndoa misturada com figo é um perfeito laxativo para o corpo. É importante ter cuidado com a casca, pela alta concentração de ácido oxalico. Eu sugiro deixar a amêndoa de molho em água mineral ou destilada de um dia para </span><span>o </span><span>outro (aproximadamente 12 horas). Enxaguar pela manhã, e refrigerar.</span></p>
<p><span>Abacate é uma outra fruta </span><span>excepcional. Super rica </span><span>em gordura, Vit E e minerais, superior a carne porque não tem bactéria e hormônios.</span></p>
<p><span>Azeitonas é uma das frutas mais rica em cálcio e aminoacido. David Wolfe sugere em seu livro &#8220;Sunfood Díet Süccess System&#8221;, tomar suco de frutas vermelhas pois elas contêm uma alta concentração de ferro. Preparar um suco com 10 </span><span>morangos, 10 framboezas, uma fatia de </span><span>melancia e salsinha verde. Bata no liquidificador e tome pela manhã. Evitar laticínios, frituras, açúcar e café.</span></p>
<p><span><strong><a href="http://lotusshiatsutherapy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/aloe-vera-powerful.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-670" title="aloe-vera-powerful" src="http://lotusshiatsutherapy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/aloe-vera-powerful.jpg" alt="aloe-vera-powerful" width="91" height="107" /></a>Suplemento vitamínico: </strong>As algas marinhas e a babosa são uma excelente fonte de minerais. Elas contem 20 a 22 aminoacidos, incluing 8 nutrientes essenciais e uma excelente fonte de clorofila, Vit B12 e ferro. Ajuda na desintoxicação, no equilíbrio hormonal e no fortalecimento do sistema imunológico. </span></p>
<p><span><strong>Sintomas emocionais: </strong>O uso dos óleos essenciais é fundamental no tratamento das emoções fortes e desequilibradas. Um dos mais importantes para depressão pós parto é o óleo de clary sage, bergamota e rosa. Massagear todo o corpo principalmente o abdomen, a região interna da perna, os pés  e os tornozelos.</span></p>
<p><span><strong>Conselhos ao casal: </strong>Passar momentos juntos a sós. Apoiando os pés no colo um do outro, massagear simultaneamente o peito do pé movendo em direção ao calcanhar e tornozelo. Essa é uma área muito importante para acalmar a mente. Icentivá-la a conversar sobre seus sentimentos e deixá-la saber que você a entende. Procure expressar o seu amor por ela sem assumir que ela já sabe. É fundamental que o casal compartilhe as responsabilidades da família e apoie um ao outro.</span></p>
<p><span>É muito importante para a mulher ser tratada com carinho e amor e ser amparada quando</span><span> experienciar emoções fortes.</span></p>
<p><span>Ter alguém para nutri-la para que </span><span>ela </span><span>consiga superar </span><span>os desafios nesta etapa tão </span><span>extraordinária.</span></p>

<p><strong><em>Dry skin brush, Massage oils, Beet juice and Meridian Stretches &#8230;</em></strong><span> </span></p>
<p>Are just a few things you can do this fall to nourish and detox your skin, improve your immune system and  prevent your body from building up toxicity during the cold winter.<span> </span></p>
<p>Start by getting a good natural brush. I like the Japanese  sisal brush that you can find in many health food stores in Toronto. It has a firm and gentle brush  very suitable for all types of skin.<span> </span></p>
<p>When brushing the skin or massaging it, I like to follow the pathway of the meridian. Each energy system has a natural flow </p>
<p>of Qi energy.</p>
<p>The Yin meridias run from bottom to top and the Yang meridians from top to bottom. </p>
<p>However, if you want to follow the lymphatic system you may also brush towards the centre of the body.<span> </span></p>
<p><strong>Dry skin brush technique</strong><span> </span></p>
<p><span>For better results, use this technique everyday before your shower and drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://lotusshiatsutherapy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/dscn1557.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-628" title="dscn1557" src="http://lotusshiatsutherapy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/dscn1557-180x300.jpg" alt="dscn1557" width="79" height="131" /></a><strong>1-</strong> Begin brushing your left side from chest towards the inner arm finishing at the hands. Brush between 4-8 times<span> </span></p>
<p><strong>2-</strong> Brush the outer hands, outside the arms in the direction of your shoulders.<span> </span></p>
<p><span>You may want to draw small circles on your skin moving the brush slowly towards your hands. You can also brush it  in straight lines as if you were cleaning your arms, do a long and firm stroke.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://lotusshiatsutherapy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/dscn1565_21.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-630" title="dscn1565_21" src="http://lotusshiatsutherapy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/dscn1565_21-262x300.jpg" alt="dscn1565_21" width="83" height="95" /></a><strong>3- </strong>Brush the upper back from the spine out in circular movement<span> </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>4</strong>- Brush belly in circular movement clockwise direction.<span> </span></p>
<p> Move the brush upwards in the centre of the stomach ending in the breast bone.<span>  </span></p>
<p><a href="http://lotusshiatsutherapy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/dscn1562.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-629" title="dscn1562" src="http://lotusshiatsutherapy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/dscn1562-201x300.jpg" alt="dscn1562" width="80" height="119" /></a><strong>5-</strong> Brush inner legs from feet towards the thigh.<span> </span></p>
<p><strong>6</strong>- Brush the side of your ribs paying attention to delicate spots, continue </p>
<p>stroking down the hips, outer leg and feet.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Repeat on the right side<span> </span></p>
<p>After massaging your skin dry take a nice cool shower and continue massaging it under the water.<span> </span></p>
<p>Dry skin gently and apply natural moisturizer to tone the skin.</p>
<p>I like to use a therapeutic massage oil that contains skin healing properties such as lavender, roman chamomile, rose and cypress.</p>
<p>It will nourish and moisturize your skin, leaving it shinny and smooth naturally.<span> </span></p>

<p><span>Choose to eat small meals at a sitting. Do not get over full</span></p>
<p><span>Do not eat and drink at the same time.</span></p>
<p><span>Drink 8 glasses of water a day</span></p>
<p><span>Be relaxed and only focus on your food when you are eating.</span></p>
<p><span>Prepare your food ahead of time and store it in the fridge, choose natural foods as opposed to food from boxes.</span></p>
<p><span>Drink green tea to help reduce body fat.</span></p>
<p><span>For women specially, avoid skipping meals, eat foods that are warm, light and easy to digest, and try to avoid goods or aromas that are highly chemicalized.</span></p>
<p><span>Cook with spices, equals parts of turmeric, cumin, coriander and fennel to aid digestion.</span></p>
<p><span>Take real rest during your menstrual cycle.</span></p>
<p><span>For a romantic dinner choose foods in the shape of sexual organs such as onions, figs and oysters which are rich in minerals and  will keep your libido high. </span></p>
<p><span>Eat lots of green leaf vegetables. Green leafy vegetables contain a wide range of vitamins and minerals as well as high doses of chlorophyl, digestible proteins and enzymes. The most powerful greens are: spinach, dandelion greens, kale, watercress, parsley, lettuce, endive, chicory, broccoli, sunflower sprout, buckwheat sprout, mustard sprouts</span></p>
<p><span><a href="http://lotusshiatsutherapy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/dscn1565_2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-600" title="dscn1565_2" src="http://lotusshiatsutherapy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/dscn1565_2-262x300.jpg" alt="dscn1565_2" width="94" height="108" /></a>Brush your skin dry before shower.</span></p>
<p><span>Massage the bottom of foot everyday</span></p>
<p><span>Include seaweed in your diet, such as nori, kelp, dulce and wakame. Because you don&#8217;t need to cook seaweed it is great to use as seasoning  on salads or vegetables.  The chemical composition of seaweeds is so close to human blood plasma that perhaps their greatest benefit is regulating and purifying our blood system. According to researches sea vegetables have ten times more calcium than milk and eight times as much as beef. The most remarkable results with seaweeds we see in boosting weight loss and deterring cellulite build up.</span></p>
<p><span>Choose a liquid mineral supplement that contains sea vegetables and aloe vera plant. </span></p>
<p><span>Aloe Vera stimulates cell growth and tissue healing. It has 20 of 22 amino acids, including 8 essential nutrients. It is an excellent source of vitamin B12. It aids in detoxifying hormone balancing, sleep enhancement, digestive support and strengthening the immune system.<br />
Aloe vera caries lots of minerals and is cooling in nature. It has a very gentle effect in the colon and powerful detoxing properties.</span></p>
<p><span>It is considered superfood after research studies identifying its seventy-five healing compounds including natural steroids, antibiotic agents, amino acids, minerals and enzymes.<br />
<a href="http://lotusshiatsutherapy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/aloe-vera-powerful.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-601" title="aloe-vera-powerful" src="http://lotusshiatsutherapy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/aloe-vera-powerful.jpg" alt="aloe-vera-powerful" width="91" height="107" /></a>Aloe Vera and sea vegetables also contain high concentration of natural sulphur (MSN). For difficult digestion it alkalizes the digestive tract preventing over acidity a common cause of indigestion, acid reflux, heartburn and ulcers.<br />
Sea vegetables- are the most popular ocean deep greens. Along with herbs, sea vegetables are higher in vitamins and minerals than any other food. They are the only vegetarian source of B-12 for cell health and also an excellent source of body building minerals like calcium, iron, iodine and potassium. It contains trace minerals like boron, chromium and selenium that are vital to health.</span></p>
<p><span>Be happy and peaceful, keep smiling .</span></p>
<p><span>Only choose thoughts that feels good.</span></p>
<p><span>Enjoy the season!</span></p>

<p><strong><span lang="EN-CA">Experience the beauty and exuberance of the Afro-Brazilian art form <em>capoeira</em>, an intriguing blend of dance, martial art, music and ritual.</span></strong></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA">This <span>workshop </span>is a gentle introduction into the fascinating and rich world of the Afro-Brazilian martial art, capoeira.  With origins reaching back to the brutal world of slavery in colonial Brazil, capoeira incorporates elements of African, Indigenous and European cultures. The hypnotizing and joyful music, the camaraderie of the circle, the circular and powerful movements, all lead the body and senses to an experience that is both grounded and deeply spiritual.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA"> </span></p>
<p><em><span lang="EN-CA">Lang Liu </span></em><em><span lang="EN-CA">has been practising capoeira for over 13 years.  She has taught capoeira in Toronto for over 7 years and recently founded the &#8216;Filhos de Bimba Toronto&#8217; school of capoeira, whose mother school is based in Brazil under the guidance of Master Nenel, son of legendary Master Bimba.  Lang is currently writing a thesis at the University of Toronto based on her experiences of capoeira as an embodied form of knowledge with the potential to transform lives. </span></em><em><span>For more info and to register, contact </span></em><em><span lang="EN-CA">Lang at<a href="mailto:langmliu@hotmail.com" target="_blank">langmliu@hotmail.com</a></span></em><em><span lang="EN"> <span> </span></span></em><em><span lang="EN-CA"><a href="http://www.baviaarts.com/" target="_blank">www.baviaarts.com</a></span></em></p>

<p><span lang="EN-CA">Travel with an enchanting storyteller to the mythical islands off the coast of Hawaii, and listen to the poignant fairy tale of Hiku and Kewelu—a love story about the loss and recovery of the feminine soul, which is also at the root of the practice of the lomi lomi massage. Michelle Tocher will guide you into the undersea world of the story, where you will dive between the lines for your own soulful insights. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to be fed by the power of a tale richly told. Bring a journal to write in, and anything you might have that invokes the magic of Hawaii.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><span><strong><a href="http://lotusshiatsutherapy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/skin-care-cucumber.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-528" title="skin-care-cucumber" src="http://lotusshiatsutherapy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/skin-care-cucumber-300x203.jpg" alt="skin-care-cucumber" width="180" height="122" /></a>Verão </strong></span><span><strong>significa férias,</strong></span></h3>
<p><span>acampamento e muita atividade ao ar livre. O sol, entretanto, continua sendo o maior vilão para a saúde da pele. Tomar banhos de sol em horários considerados perigosos pelos especialistas - entre 10 horas da manhã e 4 horas da tarde - contribuem para a perda da elasticidade e o envelhecimento precoce da pele. A excessiva exposi</span><span>ção</span><span> aos raios solares pode tambem provocar o aparecimento de manchas indesejáveis ou até mesmo o aparecimento do cancer de pele.</span></p>
<p><span>Além dos ataques do sol, a pele esta exposta a poluição ambiental e sofre com os efeitos de uma alimentação inadequada, bem como do estresse emocional e mental. Alguns perfumes e cosméticos podem tambem contribuir para um aumento de sensibilidade e desenvolvimento de manchas cutaneas.</span></p>
<p><span>A pele é o maior orgão respiratório e eliminatório do corpo humano e corresponde a 16% do peso corporal. É o limite, a interface, entre o individuo e o meio ambiente. </span></p>
<p><span>O que fazer, então, para manter a boa saúde da pele?</span></p>
<p><span>A dica nesse verão é proteger-se do sol e comer alimentos leves, tais como vegetais, frutas e gr?os ricos em beta caroteno, vitamina C, vitamina E e Omega 3. Alem disso, use mascaras faciais hidratantes, massageie e esfregue o corpo diariamente. Tenha tambem sempre em maos um filtro solar com fator de protecao solar (FPS) igual ou superior a 15. Aplique-o generosamente 20 minutos antes de se expor ao sol e, se necessário, use chapéu de abas largas. Evite o sol no periodo entre 10 e 16 horas.</span></p>
<p><span>De acordo com Michael Downey, escritor e especialista em medicina holistica em Toronto, pesquisas publicadas por um jornal britânico de nutrição comprovaram que frutas e vegetais contem um excelente anti-oxidante, o lycopene, que previne queimaduras causadas pelo raio ultravioleta. Portanto, comer ou tomar dois copos de suco de tomate por dia protege a pele, evitando de deixá-la avermelhada com a exposição ao sol. Para aquelas picadas desagradáveis de mosquito, uma gota de óleo essencial de alecrim (rosemary) aplicada diretamente no local afetado, retira o inchaço, a coceira e a vermelhidão.</span></p>
<p><span>&#8220;Um procedimento muito simples e que as pessoas sempre esquecem de fazer é esfregar a pele antes ou durante o banho. A estimulação da pele hidrata a epiderme e aumenta a oxigenação, fazendo-a respirar melhor. Uma pele saudável, trabalha com mais eficiencia na proteção e eliminação de toxinas.</span></p>
<p><span>Massageie a pele seca com uma escova ou esponja natural firme no sentido dos pés a cabeça, fazendo movimentos circulares. Evite produtos que contenham fragrância como xampus e sabonetes aromatizados, pois esses ressecam a pele ainda mais.</span></p>
<p><span><strong>“Chocolate Wrap”</strong></span></p>
<p><span>O famoso &#8220;chocolate wrap&#8221;, ou &#8220;embrulho de chocolate,&#8221; esta cada vez mais popular nos &#8220;spas&#8221;. Consiste em uma mistura de chocolate natural em pó, óleo essencial de balsamo de limão, lavanda, toranja (grapefruit), maizena e água destilada ou água de flores. O resultado é uma pasta cremosa, de alto valor terapêutico. A herbalista Irith McConnachie sugere aplicar essa pasta de chocolate em todo o corpo, envolve-lo com uma toalha quente por 20 minutos e, em seguida, enxaguar. Esse &#8220;chocolate wrap&#8221; é considerado um excelente anti-oxidante, que regenera e elimina as toxinas da pele e tambem previne o seu envelhecimento.</span></p>
<p><span><span><strong>Receita natural para clarear a pele</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span>Misture uma colher de sopa de suco de limão galego, a mesma medida de mel e leite em pó e meia colher de sopa de óleo de amêndoa doce. Aplique no rosto e deixe por 10 minutos. Enxague com água. </span></p>
<p><span>Para eliminar as manchas  da pele, corte rodelas finas de batata crua e aplique na pele. Quando começar a sentir a pele ressecar. retire as rodelas e lave o rosto com água fria.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><span style="color: #0000ee;">Alimentos mais nutritivos</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #008000;">DO PLANETA</span></h2>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-494" title="imagewrapimg" src="http://lotusshiatsutherapy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/imagewrapimg.jpg" alt="imagewrapimg" width="180" height="134" /></p>
<p>Conta-se uma lenda que existiu na china um homem extraordinário chamado Li Qing Yuen que nasceu em 1678 e viveu 252 anos. O segredo de uma vida tao longa e sadia? Todos os dias ele tomava sopa de goji berry, uma fruta cítrica que só era encontrada nas regiões remotas da Ásia.</p>
<p>Com o tempo o uso desta fruta tornou-se uma tradição passada de geração para geração como a fruta da juventude.</p>
<p>Hoje em dia o gojiberry originalmente do Himalaya é considerada pelos cientistas como o alimento mais nutritivo do planeta, de acordo com Free Life Magazine. A planta de frutinhas avermelhadas e Composta de 19 amino acidos 21 fragmentos de minerais incluindo o germanium, um potente anti cancer raramente encontrado em alimentos. É rica em antioxidante carotenoide e vitamina C.</p>
<p>O suco de Goji é indicado para uma série de doenças. Uma dosagem pequena por dia e capaz de inibir o crescimento de tumores, prevenir cancer e neutralizar os efeitos da quimioterapia e radiação. Como explica o Dr.Earl Mindell, autor do livro “The vitamin bible”, o Gojiberry contem quatro importantes polissacarideos responsáveis pelo sistemas de defesa bioquímicas do corpo, ou seja, protege o corpo contra doença e poluição. Esses polissacarideos são carboidratos complexos que se aderem as proteinas, portanto, exercem uma função muito importante no corpo.</p>
<p>As plantas produzem esses polissacarideos como mecanismo de defesa contra ataques de virus, bactérias, fungos, parasitas do solo e poluição do meio ambiente.</p>
<p>Para nós humanos felizmente, essa proteção nos é conferida quando alimentamos de vegetais e frutas ricas em polissacarideos.</p>
<p>O uso das plantas como medicina preventiva é provavelmente tão antigo quanto a própria humanidade Há séculos nossos ancestrais vem utilizando - as como ervas terapêuticas sob a forma de óleos, compressas, tinturas chás e inalações.</p>
<p>Mesmo as preparação farmacêutica tais como os extratos, pomadas e cápsulas utilizam como matéria-prima o principio ativo das plantas. Apesar da vasta criação de substâncias sintéticas com poderes medicinais, uma grande percentagem de remédios encontrados hoje nas farmácias continua sendo de origem vegetal.</p>
<p>É essa utilização das plantas para o tratamento de doenças que constitui, hoje, um ramo da medicina alopatica conhecido como fitoterapia, ou terapia das plantas, cuja a base é voltada às técnicas da botânica e da farmacologia. Infelizmente a eficácia desses medicamentos naturais ainda não foram aceitas como alternativa aos medicamentos convencionais pelo alto custo das pesquisas cientificas impossibilitando o seu controle e regulamento. De acordo com fontes do Tufts Center For The Study of Drug Development o custo para a criação e o desenvolvimento de um novo medicamento é de, em média, US$ 897 milhões, o que favorece somente as industrias farmacêuticas. Mas hoje em dia os fitoterápicos nao são mais considerados medicina inferior graças a produtos que os próprios médicos vêm utilizando e que têm base científica comprovada.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-495" title="guarana" src="http://lotusshiatsutherapy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/guarana.jpg" alt="guarana" width="120" height="162" /></p>
<p>Assim como o gojiberry, existem no nosso planeta uma infinidade de frutas medicinais . Frutas com propriedades adstringentes e emolientes. Frutas com efeitos calmantes, como o nosso popular maracuja tambem considerado um ótimo remédio para insônia e perturbação nervosa. Frutas estimulantes como o Guaraná Paulinia cupana indicado para fadiga motora e psíquica. Sem contar com as campeans em Vit. C tais como o abacaxi, acerola, açaí, uva, maracujá, manga e a goiaba.</p>
<p>Outra planta bastante usada na fitorerapia é o Ginko biloba surgida a mais de 200 anos vem sido utilizada no tratamento de cefaleia, enxaqueca e fatiga mental. A planta Kava Kava original das Ilhas Oceanicas comprovada por pesquisas científicas que seu extrato tem efeito no combate à ansiedade.</p>
<p>Como tudo na nossa vida requer balanço e equilíbrio, acredito que devemos usufruir das plantas medicinais com equilíbrio, e não utiliza-las sem orientação médica, pois quando usadas em excesso podem prejudicar a saúde.</p>
<p>A medicina Oriental chinesa explica que a substância fitoterapica da planta pode tanto beneficiar como prejudicar a saúde de uma pessoa se for usada com exageiro. Portanto é importante entender que a diferenca de uma droga sintética e uma planta venenosa esta na sua origem e na sua propriedade quimica. A Beladona por exemplo pode ser fatal se usada em grandes quantidades porém, quando usada em proporções homeopáticas, ou seja, quantidades mínimas , ajuda a combater a febre e infecção viral. Assim como a folha de tobacco em um cigarro ou a cevada utilizada na cerveja, se abusados podem ter uma ação reversa no organismo. Por outro lado, uma droga sintética cuja composição química foi criada em laboratórios sob custosos estudos e pesquisas, pode ser ainda mais nocivo para corpo quando usados demasiadamente. Isso devido ao fato de que o nosso organismo nao sabe o que fazer com essas substâncias nao naturais, consequentemente causando acúmulos de toxinas no corpo e rapida dependência química.</p>
<p>Como na natureza os animais precisam de minerais e vegetais para viver e os vegetais já contendo em sua estrutura os minerais é mais provável que nosso corpo seja mais compatível a uma substância 100% de origem vegetal do que a uma substância sintética.</p>
<p>A terra nos deu os teus frutos para sobrevivermos, portanto conhecer essa fonte de riqueza nas plantas e o mais valioso recurso terapêutico oferecido pela natureza.</p>
<p>Porque nao enriquecer a nossa alimentação com plantas que previnem doença? Nós somos o que comemos, como diz o ditado, portando a nossa escolha alimentar e primordial a nossa saúde.</p>
<p>É mais importante prevenir do que remediar!</p>
