We’ll pretend that May took a holiday!

I hope this finds you well and staying warm. It certainly has been an interesting couple of months
with rain, wind and cold weather. So on that note what can we do to help us stay well and even
thrive during the winter months?

As we’re being told at the moment electricity supply may be an issue this winter so here are a few
hints for staying warm and comfortable:

1. Take a bath or foot soak with magnesium flakes (magnesium chloride) / Epson Salts (magnesium sulphate). Magnesium is known to be helpful for muscle discomfort.
2. Move: Low impact, gentle exercise, such as; walking, riding a stationary bike, stretching are all helpful ways of warming your body. Remembering too that movement helps produce endorphins which are those feel good hormones.
3. Cover up to stay warm – gloves, coat, scarf or even a beanie. You’re not being silly, you are staying warm and comfortable.
4. Eat warm, nourishing food like soups, stews and the like.
5. Bowen Therapy is also helpful at balancing the body so it can find its balance and help improve circulation, movement and well-being when feeling stiff and sore due to the cold.

Another ‘side effect’ of the winter months is the isolation and for some the low mood or depression that goes with that. Loneliness and isolation may become a much bigger issue for people, across the board as we endeavour to reduce our aches and pains by staying warm at home.

Remember: If you do experience low mood it is important that you consult your doctor.
