Looking ahead for 2011 Healing Retreats and Detox Dates, a popular time is early January and also Spring. Just after new Year, when the energy of our resultions are strong and when we want to focus ahead and get the most from the coming year. 

Not to mention, that many will have over indulged in the seaons's festivities and will want to cleanse, renew, shed afew kilos, and get 2011 off to a good start. So January is a great time for a detox, for real healing and setting our goals for health, weight, career, love, money and life.... and dare I say.... enjoying some Winter Sun !!

Based on the White Clouds series of photographs, here is a wonderfully relaxing and de-stressing video to get you daydreaming without having to lie upside down - Cloudz by SFX

Featuring the original composition "White Clouds" by SFX.

Here is a collection of 40 images of sky and white clouds, entitled "Cloudz" and taken by SFX between January and July 2010 from the sky over South East England.

A lovely gallery of cloud images, this collection was used to make the Cloudz video.

A teacher wrote in and asked about using aromatherapy in school with children in class, to aid learning, lessen stress, and in tests and exam situations, which essential oils work best and which blends.

Here are my recommendations for using aromatherapy in learning and remembering for children; and also an additional article on which essential oils to use for mature students to improve studying, learning, memory and recall of the studied materials for tests and exams, and even, later on in life should they ever need to remember beyond the exam.

Detox Healing Retreats in 2010 the Red Sea Egypt - dates, availability and price information for retreat guests and family travelling with them.

For our Egyptian healing and detox retreats I have opted for Swisscare, a small and elegant hotel on the Sinai peninsular, on the Red Sea. It is off the beaten track, away from large commercial resorts but not far from Sharm el Sheikh, and has a lovely beach and pool and spacious private suites for guests. Perfect for a healing retreat in Egypt.

The Buckbean, or Bogbean or Marsh Trefoil, which is common enough in stagnant pools, and on our spongy bogs, is the most serviceable of all known herbal tonics.

The Buckbean may be easily recognised growing in water by its large leaves overtopping the surface, each being composed of three leaflets, and resembling the leaf of a Windsor Broad Bean.

The bluebell—the Agraphis mutans,—of the Lily tribe—is so abundant in English woods and pastures, whilst so widely known, and popular with young and old, as to need no description.

Blackberry is the well-known fruit of the Common Bramble (Rubus fructicosus), which grows in every English hedgerow, and which belongs to the Rose order of plants.

It has long been esteemed for its bark and leaves as a capital astringent, these containing much tannin; also for its fruit, which is supplied with malic and citric acids, pectin, and albumen.

This fruit, which belongs to the Cranberry order of plants, grows abundantly throughout England in heathy and mountainous districts.

The small-branched shrub bears globular, wax-like flowers, and black berries, which are covered, when quite fresh, with a grey bloom.

Few, if any, herbal plants have been more praised for their supposed curative virtues than the Wood Betony (Stachys Betonica), belonging to the order of Labiates. By the common people it is often called Bitny. The nameBetonica is from the Celtic "ben," head, and "tonic," good, in allusion to the usefulness of the herb against infirmities of the head.

The Bennet Herb, the Herba Benedicta, or Blessed Herb, or Avens (Geum Urbanum) is a very common plant of the Rose tribe, in our woods, hedges, and shady places.

It has an erect hairy stem, red at the base, with terminal bright yellow drooping flowers. The ordinary name Avens—or Avance, Anancia, Enancia—signifies an antidote, because it was formerly thought to ward off the Devil, and evil spirits, and venomous beasts.

The herb Sweet Basil (Ocymum Basilicum) is so called because "the smell thereof is fit for a king's house." It grows commonly in our kitchen gardens, but in England it dies down every year, and the seeds have to be sown annually. Botanically, it is named "basilicon," or royal, probably because used of old in some regal unguent, or bath, or medicine.
