Bev Dunne

Symptoms are usually swelling of the limbs, abdomen, breasts and sometimes face. Fluid retention is caused by an imbalance in the body’s transfer of fluids. This can be caused by sitting or standing for long periods, hormonal changes in women during menstruation and pregnancy, poor circulation such as varicose veins or blood clots or even environmental factors such as high altitudes or heat.

Feeling Tired Just Thinking About Christmas

Bev Dunne

It’s hard to believe it’s only 6 weeks to Christmas!! How did that creep up so quickly? Maybe a little event called COVID had us distracted!  Already I’m feeling tired thinking of everything I need to achieve before then. I do however have my backup plan.  I always start taking a fantastic Chinese herbal formula at this time of the year and believe me, from past experience I can tell you it works extremely well for me in these hectic times.  For many years I found I was exhausted by the time Christmas Day arrived and then I had to drag myself through January, the busiest month of the year for our business.
