Edible Seaweed in all forms
The Life came from the Sea….And Seaweed can give us New Life. Eating seaweed is one of the best natural ways to detox our bodies, prevent disease and heal skin disorders. Seaweed has so many benefits, make it part of your diet. At Greenlife we love the Algaran range of seaweeds, they are Organic and freshly harvested off the West Coast of Ireland. Take a look at the extensive range and if you have never tried seaweed before maybe start out by just using a Seaweed Dressing as a healthy alternative to salt. Seaweed is really delicious and extremely versatile for instance Carragheen can be used as a thickening agent in deserts and jellies, Kelp is great for slimmers, Dulse can help constipation, Wakame has no fishy taste and is great in soups and sauces.

Do you know what goes into Beaming Baby Bio-degradable Nappies – other than the obvious?
Beaming Baby Nappies
We believe these are the world’s most advanced environmentally friendly disposable nappies with premium performance, designed for superior comfort during an active day and to last for up to 12 hours to encourage a good night’s sleep!
They use 30% less chemicals than standard disposable nappies and are kind to all babies; especially those with eczema or sensitive skin (try Beaming Baby Organic Baby Lotion and Organic Baby Wipes).
They form a naturally breathable layer against your baby’s skin; the top sheet is made with natural cotton and cornstarch fibres.
We infuse them with aromatherapy oils including chamomile and ylang-ylang to help protect baby’s sensitive skin and release a gentle scent.

HOW ARE THESE NAPPIES HEALTHIER FOR MY BABY?
Your baby will probaby wear a nappy most of the day and night, with only a few breaks for bathing, changing and the occasional ‘free range’ moment!
Not only have they RADICALLY reduced the chemicals in these nappies, but they have also introduced a REVOLUTIONARY Naturally Breathable Layer against your baby’s skin. Combined with a TOTALLY GM FREE Absorbent Core to keep the wetness away from your baby’s bottom for up to 12 hours.
GENTLY infused with Chamomile to PROTECT and SOOTH sensitive skin. Giving your baby the perfect solution for NATURALLY HEALTHY skin.
HOW WILL MY BABY BE HAPPIER?
Your beautiful baby will want to WRIGGLE, move and SNOOZE with ease and COMFORT so we have developed SOFT stretchy panels on both sides and at the back to accommodate every position for both day and night.

HELP HOMEOPATHIC VETS-A Request from Helios
As many of you will be aware Homeopathy is currently under attack by many highly organised sceptics. There are calls for it to be banned, even within the veterinary profession.
Doctors and vets are continually being misinformed that homeopathy ‘does not work’ and is merely a placebo. Placebo means “all in the mind”. Animals, unlike humans, cannot respond in this way.
Those of you who use homeopathy for your animals and have had successful treatment from your homeopathic vet know that a positive outcome is evidence that homeopathy works.
The British Association of Homeopathic Veterinary Surgeons, BAHVS (bahvs.com) is an organisation dedicated to the health and welfare of animals in this country. They promote the use of homeopathy as a safe and effective form of medicine. They are campaigning to show how effective homeopathy really is; if it can be used in animals, it cannot be a sham treatment as the sceptics claim.
At Helios we are pleased to support this campaign. The BAHVS are asking for your help in collecting evidence based facts on how treatment from a homeopathic vet has helped your animal/pet.
Please e-mail any accounts (2-400 words approx) you have of successful treatment (with a photo of the patient if possible!) to Nick Thompson, Holistic Vet

Thank you.

Statement from Clearspring Japanese Products
Message from Clearspring
Since the earthquake on March 11th Japan is still experiencing significant aftershocks. We have been very fortunate that none of our suppliers suffered any lasting damage. As the country is in the process of rebuilding itself our suppliers are keen to get back to business as usual and ready to commence shipping products to us.
There are measures in place both in Japan and in the EU to ensure that all products exported from Japan meet stringent safety regulations. All products originating from defined regions around the Fukushima nuclear plant have to be tested prior to departure to ensure they are safe for human consumption. On arrival at a European port they will be subject to additional checks including random testing.
Clearspring will do everything possible to ensure a continuation of supply from our long standing Japanese producers. However, where this is not possible due to infrastructure challenges and delays due to additional administration and safety checks, we will temporarily switch to alternative producers. As always our priority will be to maintain our high quality and food safety standards.
Julie
After asking our suppliers how best we can support them, the overwhelming response has been by continuing to stock and sell their products. Only in this way can they recover from the damage of the tsunami devastation. We thank you for your continued support in making this possible.
