Drown those hangover blues

Overindulged?
Had a fabulous dinner with a bunch of close friends last night? Now it's the next morning, and you know that you've had too much to eat and drink. Try these natural remedies.
Desks for success
So you've learnt a few general tips on how to make your desk feng shui, but you have more specific career goals? Perhaps you are eyeing the boss's chair, or are desperate for a salary increase or maybe you just want to get on better with all the people in the office?
Declutter your desk and mind
They say that you should never go to sleep in a messy room, because the physical clutter will psychologically irritate the mind. The same goes for your desk.
Bedroom basics
After the eight-hour day, dropping and fetching the kids, shopping, exercising and cooking, you deserve to retire into a beautifully bedroom.
Exercise that stress away
Most exercise has calming benefits, but you don't have to hit the treadmill for hours, or take a high-impact aerobics class to pound and punch out your stress.
Stressed out?
Try these top five de-stressing essential oils. All of the following essential oils will work to balance and soothe your body and mind.
Skin problems?
Acne, eczema, dry skin, wrinkles, spots, oily skin, sunburn – your skin really does take a battering. Why not try using essential oils for your skin problems?
Lighten up
Looking for a reason to take up meditation? A new American study has found that Buddhists really are more happy, calm and serene than people who don't meditate.
Energise with the right colours
Renovating your home? Then pay careful attention to the colours you choose. The colours that we place around us can have an effect on our mood and energy levels.
Dimensions of wellness
Choosing to be healthy is a present to yourself. We look at the different dimensions of wellness.
Living in the here and now
‘Mindful living’ is the buzzword of the moment. We stop to take it all in and speak to three women whose lives have been transformed by it. By Lynne Gidish, Femina magazine.
In the twinkling of an eye
Think of the mesmerising effect of watching flames in a hearth or the waves of the ocean as they crash to the shore. There's a lot more to vision than meets the eye.
How to stop road rage
It's 8:00 a.m., it’s raining and you're already late for work and and there's a huge traffic jam. Your stress levels are going through the roof. Here's how to prevent road rage.
Sick office syndrome
You've heard of sick building syndrome? Now sick office syndrome could be coming to an office near you!
Feng shui your desk
If it feels like your career is in a rut maybe it's time you take action and…rearrange your desk?
Smooth operator
If you haven't got a blender, then it's high time you invested in one. Because without a blender, you cannot make the ultimate health breakfast – the smoothie. If you know how to make them, smoothies can offer you your entire daily requirement of five portions of fruit and vegetables in one glass!
Power breakfast
You've heard it countless times before – don't skimp on breakfast! Start the day off with a good power breakfast to fuel your body and mind and you'll be amazed at the results.
Need an energy boost?
Do you plod through the day at the office? Are you so tired by the afternoon that exercise is the last thing on your mind? Do you flop into bed at night and roll out of it exhausted in the morning? Your problem might simply be that you have low energy levels, and if so, there are quick and easy natural remedies to give you the boost you need.
De-stress the herbal way
Is stress getting you down? Do you feel like you are not coping? Take action. Try the top five de-stressing herbal supplements.
Know your essential oils
The therapeutic properties of essential oils are endless – they can be sedative, relaxing, energising, aphrodisiac and soothing.
Get your energy fix
What saps our energy? Well, stimulants like tea and coffee, chocolate and cigarettes that give you a short-term boost and have negative effects on your energy levels in the long-run. Stress also plays its part and emotional traumas too.
Beating the stress bug
Don’t worry about bird flu. The killer bug stalking the corridors and cubicles of the modern workplace is stress. Find out how to use yoga and meditation to combat stress.
Healthy, home-made skin scrubs
Natural scrubs – made from simple ingredients found in your kitchen – can be an easy, affordable way to give your skin a healthy lift.
Re-align your life
Certain forms of energy healing, such as homeopathy and acupuncture, have been with us for centuries. Recently, however, a technique called "life alignment" was added to this list.
In touch, in tune
Developing spiritual intelligence may be key to finding a sense of purpose in our secular world.
Return to your sense of touch
Touch is probably the most unappreciated of all our senses. Yet science is showing that it has amazing healing properties.
