Zeoone Australian Zeolite

A magnesium deficiency can effect all body tissues. Magnesium deficiency has been reported to be between 54% and 75% in the general population. ZeoOne has natural mineral transporters which have unique “honeycomb” carry and release characteristics. When magnesium is attached to one of these transporters it helps it reach target tissues that need magnesium and may help to cleanse the body at the same time. These “honeycomb” transporters also have their own metabolic activity so the magnesium is easily absorbed into the body and helps in maintaining an overall balance of minerals. Magnesium is also vital to improvements in body composition and recovery from intense training. For more info check out www.zeoone.com or www.australianzeolite.com

The Zen Chi “Aussie Wobbler” Massager

I have the most ludicrous claim to make, but I’m standing by it until proved otherwise. It was this writer who partly named the Zen Chi Massager. It was back in 1997 and I was working for a Perth holistic magazine, and a bloke who is sadly no longer with us brought in what he could only describe as “The Wobbler” for us new age literati to check out. It was a Friday afternoon and I must confess I’d had a couple of organic wines for lunch, which perhaps made me all the more receptive to the experience of trying such a machine for the first time. As I lay there I proceeded to lapse into a deeply meditative calm (I swear I wasn’t snoring) and after about 15 minutes, the “wobbler” stopped and I felt very energetically blissed, you might say. I leapt to my feet and declared “this machine activates your chi!”. From what I know, this declaration was passed up the network marketing food chain, some marketing boffins got wind of it, and they added some wind of their own by adding the word “zen”. And what new age / natural therapy business wouldn’t add the word zen given half the chance? Since then I’ve come to own one of these zen chi massagers, and they truly are awesome, I love them, although I must confess my ex-wife scored it in the separation and so I could do with a new one.

Organic Detox Tea Blend

There are so many tweets going around about detoxing at the moment that you wish that twitter would become part of the online detoxification process. But one can’t get too bitter and vicious about twitter – or anything in fact – while sipping World Par-tea’s new Organic Relax Max tea, which is exactly what I’m doing right now. This is a delicious tea, and so I’ll just have to give a plug to their Organic Detox Tea Blend, if it’s anything like what’s in my teapot right now then it will possess the same addictive quality and might well have to be smuggled into Bali in a Perth unionist’s sock. The Organic Detox Tea Blend is described as a cleansing tea blend of certified organic ingredients, including senna leaf, dandelion leaf, nettle, peppermint and sweet orange peel … and “balanced to assist with any detox process”. This tisane may have a slight laxative effect, it’s certainly had that effect on my writing. For more information check out this World Par-tea article.

Healthstart Far Infrared Saunas

Okay look here all you feminists who are tut-tutting about my chance to use the above eye-candy-shot. You must agree, these fine young ladies look very healthy indeed. They look like there ain’t a toxin in ’em. Besides, most media would have stuck that pic and product profile at the top of the article, whereas my editor stuck to his biological pop-gun and only offered it as reward for the truly diligent detox reader. Anyway, what the heck is far infra-red? Can we get a near answer? Well, most far infrared energy waves are at the same frequency at which a water molecule resonates or vibrates. This vibration at the cellular level causes the release of of cellular toxins which are excreted through the oil and sweat expelled from the skin. Analysis of sweat after a sauna session shows the sweat produced to be composed of 80% water and 20% toxins compared to traditional heat and steam saunas that produce sweat composed of 97% water and 3% toxins. This is the scientific basis to the song “Gotta Keep those Lovin’ Good Vibrations a Happening with You!” Simply, there are good vibes in this world and there are bad vibes – far Infrared heat wave vibration makes for good vibes.

Detox Your Skin

Ever since the days of Cleopatra mineral clays have been renowned for their beautifying, healing and detoxing properties. Purified Australian Zeolite (Clinoptilolite), Bentonite and Kaolinite are amazing natural minerals which absorb toxins from the skin and can deliver other beneficial ingredients into the dermis. Zeolite is a negatively charged volcanic ash that is totally natural. When micronised into smaller more attractive and efficient particles it reveals small ‘honeycomb cages’ that trap heavy metals and toxins and carry them safely away. Zeoone Deep Cleanse Mineral Face Mask cleanses and purifies these clinoptilolite honeycomb cages to provide maximum absorption of toxins from the skin. For more info check out www.zeoone.com
