Nicole Tomlinson: You are tired, stressed, and energy where did it all go? Today we are going to explore how Holistic Medicine can distress your life and give you more energy.
I am here with Luisa Mendoza from Mr. Natural and she is going to give us some advice on how to reduce stress in our lives, the natural way. Hi Luisa! How are you?
Luisa Mendoza: Hi! I am fine, how are you?
Nicole Tomlinson: Very good! We really want to know today about how to relieve stress in a natural way.
Luisa Mendoza: Well, the natural way is very good to do it because then we are having the help of the herbs. Like this herbs that we have here on the table. Like this one is the Tila flower.
Nicole Tomlinson: The Tila flower?
Luisa Mendoza: Tila flower is a very fine flower that makes a very nice tea. It doesn't have a bad taste, it is very good. This one that I have here is the peppermint; the smell of the peppermint -- it's like a chewable gum. The chewable gum has the extract of the oil of the peppermint tea and it's very good. It is very relaxing but also has another benefit. Like taking out the gases from the intestine or for little kids that they have also a stress, they can take this tea before they go to sleep. And we have --
Nicole Tomlinson: Wait; hold on one second, little kids have stress --?
Luisa Mendoza: Sometimes they do exactly. I have to mention that sometimes the little ones they watch some movies that they are scared. Maybe happen to them like being part of an accident or family discussion or any violence that they may be exposed to. Then they can take this kind of herbal tea so they can release all sorts of stress.
And also this one is the Hoja de Naranjo or orange leaf. And it's also very good tea. When you take it fresh from the tree it's very aromatic but also the dry leaf still has the botanical extract.
I have this, the basil. Basil has the properties also for relaxing the nervous system. And the top of them is this one. You don't want to smell it.
Nicole Tomlinson: No, I don't, but I am going to anyway.
Luisa Mendoza: Alright, go ahead.
Nicole Tomlinson: This is Valerian?
Luisa Mendoza: Valerian.
Nicole Tomlinson: Okay, I am being brave here; I can smell it from here actually.
Luisa Mendoza: You don't have to get so much close. I know, I smell it's strong.
Nicole Tomlinson: This is how they derive the drug valium?
Luisa Mendoza: Yes, it's an extract from this root.
Nicole Tomlinson: But you don't need a prescription to this and it's non-addictive.
Luisa Mendoza: Oh no, because it's very well-measured by nature. And we have the other one that is poleo. I love this one, the poleo because it has also very good taste and it's very aromatic and it's also relaxing. Which combination do you want to make?
Nicole Tomlinson: I am going to --
Luisa Mendoza: You are going to --
Nicole
Tomlinson: No, no, no, no... I have a busy day ahead of me, I can't be falling asleep.
Luisa Mendoza: What about peppermint?
Nicole Tomlinson: I like that peppermint.
Luisa Mendoza: What about --
Nicole Tomlinson: Tela, yeah.
Luisa Mendoza: The tela flower.
Nicole Tomlinson: The pretty one.
Luisa Mendoza: And the poleo, I will invite you to try this one. It's very little, you don't really need a lot for one cup of tea. Let it dip for a while and you will see the color is changing immediately.
Nicole Tomlinson: Pretty fast.
Luisa Mendoza: Pretty fast exactly, and then you can drink the tea with a little bit of honey before you go to sleep.
Nicole Tomlinson: For a very stressed person you would need to use this entire combination and it's also not going to do us much good unless we allow the appropriate time for our bodies to actually rest and recuperate.
Luisa Mendoza: Exactly, we need to follow the nature's advice. When we are overstressed we need to stop and to re-accommodate our agenda of activities because otherwise we get like over-consuming our own energy.
Nicole Tomlinson: So how long does it take for my tea to be ready?
Luisa Mendoza: Tea is ready. You don't have to wait too much. Do you want some honey?
Nicole Tomlinson: Please!
Luisa Mendoza: Well, this tea may be very good for you and then tonight you are going to have a good night of a sleep, don't worry.
Nicole Tomlinson: That sounds good because it has been a very busy week.
Luisa Mendoza: The weeks are always busy. You are taking exams at the school you are working, you have two jobs. You have to relax, let your body to be just happy. There are some vitamins that we can take like Stress B-Complex. Any B-Complex will be wonderful just make sure that you are taking fresh orange juice. So then you have the Vitamin C for the body to absorb the B-Complex.
Nicole Tomlinson: I see, so that will give us energy through our day and this will help us relax and recuperate from those days.
Luisa Mendoza: Exactly.
Nicole Tomlinson: Well, we are out of time and you are out of excuses. Be kind to your body and give it the natural medicine it needs to feel better.
Thank you so much Luisa for having us in your store today.
Luisa Mendoza: Thank you Nicole, come again!
Nicole Tomlinson: I will. And from all of us here at Zen Living thank you so much for watching and we will catch you next time. Peace!
