The Diva Steam, also known as the
V-Steam and Yoni Steam, is a remedy that is becoming known today as the
forgotten ancient wisdom for women's health/healing and is being fervently
revived by women today.
An
ancient remedy that had been used for over a millennia before us, the Diva
Steam has been known to maintain the health of the uterus, treating
everything from painful menses, endometriosis, low libido, UTI's, to infertility.
Though this simple process may sound like a miracle remedy, the Diva
Steam is an easy and inexpensive treatment for any woman to use on
a regular basis within the comfort of HC Wellness Center or at home.
How
does the Diva Steam work?
A
Diva Steam is done much like a facial, except that
in this case, steam rises opening the pores of the skin and the beneficial
compounds in the herbs are absorbed through the open pores of the pelvic floor.
These tissues are exceptionally porous and absorbent, and the warmth of the
steam helps to soften and open them. The herbs medicinal properties, including
their oils, are released (due to the special steeping process) and carried to
the surface of your skin, and inside , where they are absorbed into the bloodstream
and into to the uterus. The herbal steam increases circulation, thins mucus,
and cleanses the entire reproductive system, allowing it to shed unnecessary
membranes and build-up. The results are varied, and amazing.
Throughout
history, many women have found Steams to have the following effects:
*
Significantly reduce pain, bloating and exhaustion associated with
menstruation.
*
Decrease menstrual flow.
*
Regulate irregular or absent menstrual cycles.
*
Increase fertility.
*
Speed healing and tone the reproductive system after birth.
*
Treat uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, uterine weakness, uterine prolapse and
endometriosis.
*
Assist with the repair of a vaginal tear, episiotomy or C-section scar.
*
Assist with the healing of hemorrhoids.
*
Treat chronic infections (UTI's, Vaginal, Yeast, etc) and works to maintain
healthy pH balance.
*
Relieve symptoms of menopause.
*
Detoxify the womb and remove toxins from the body.
We recommend that you DO NOT steam if any of the following
apply to you:
* You are
pregnant.
* You have
an IUD or a coil (you will be asked to sign a waiver if you wish to steam).
* During
Menstruation.
* Piercings
will need to be removed to avoid burns.
* Steaming
should not be done if you have any open cuts/wounds/stitches or active herpes
breakout.
* Steaming should not be done when the body is fighting an illness such as the flu or any other fevered condition.
* Steaming should not be done when the body is fighting an illness such as the flu or any other fevered condition.
*
It is not recommended to steam after waxing or
laser hair removal. We recommend waiting 4 days after waxing and 2 weeks after
laser hair removal.

Warm Up with Your Slow Cooker
Warm Up with Your Slow Cooker
Just
set-it-and-forget-it! So goes the appeal of the slow cooker and it just
so happens to be the perfect time of year for it. Slow cooker meals are
a great way to enjoy healthier home cooking while saving time, money
and calories from eating out. We've compiled a small collection of yummy
recipes that will make you and your crockpot happy!
* Remember you can substitute any meat of your choice, just adjust the cooking time and/or temperature.
Crockpot Chicken Soup
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken, cut into chunks
- 1-2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1-2 cups carrots, chopped
- 1-2 cups celery, chopped
- 1 head garlic, chopped
- 2 cups kale, chopped [don't use baby kale, you want the heartier kale]
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Directions:
Put
the vegetables in first, put the chicken on top, pour in the broth (you
could probably use water if you wanted), season to taste, cover and put
on Low for 8 hours. I stir about every 2-3 hours, make sure the meat is
now getting covered by broth so it can fully cook. If I want a bit more
heat or to finish it sooner, I'll turn it up to high for 2 hours in the
middle of cooking.
If
your crockpot gets a bit full -- wait to add the kale, let items cook
down a bit and settle into the pot, then slowly incorporate kale over
the first few hours.
Seasonings to use: rosemary, thyme, pepper, salt (add less), tarragon.
Creamy Pork Chops
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup water
- 4 pork loin chops
- Rosemary
- Black Pepper
Directions:
Pour
the two cans of soup and water in the crock pot and mix. Put pork chops
in the crock pot and then season with rosemary and black pepper to
taste. Cook on low for 8 hours.
Use Campbell's Healthy Request soups for less fat, and sodium. Recipe is pretty low in calories.

Quick Turkey Dinner

- Top with 1-2 turkey breasts
- Cover with another layer of apple slices
- Add 1 can of cranberry jelly
- Cook on low 8-10 hours. Serve with steamed vegetables and voila!...a turkey dinner without all the fuss!
Apricot Chicken!
- 6 frozen chicken breasts
- 1 packet french onion soup mix
- 1 jar of apricot preserves
- *optional: half a bottle of french dressing
Directions:
Throw it all in the crockpot on low for about 8 hours. Also delicious served over rice.
Cilantro-Lime Chicken
Cilantro-Lime Chicken
Directions: Cook on low for 8 hours. If you go silly and forget to drain the beans, it turns into chili.
CrockPot Recipe for Sweet and Spicy Ground Turkey and Sweet Potato Stew with Coconut Milk
Ingredients:
1 - 1 1/4 lbs. ground turkey (I use ground turkey with 7% fat, but not turkey breast)
2 tsp. + 1 tsp. olive oil
1 onion, chopped in pieces about 1/2 inch
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into pieces about 1 inch
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce1/2 cup chicken stock
1/3 cup sugar, Splenda, or Stevia granulated (I used Stevia; use Splenda or Stevia for South Beach Diet)
2 T brown sugar (or use 2 T more of the sweetener of your choice)
2-3 T Chili Garlic Sauce (I used 2 T, which was plenty spicy for me!)
2 tsp. minced ginger (I used minced ginger from a jar)
2 tsp. minced garlic
1 can light coconut milk
1/2 cup green onions sliced in 1 inch pieces + more thinly sliced green onion for garnish if desired
cooked white or brown rice for serving, optional
Instructions:
Spray CrockPot with non-stick spray. I used a 3.5 quart CrockPot for this recipe.
Heat 2 tsp. olive oil in a heavy frying pan and brown the ground turkey, breaking it up with the turner as it cooks. This may take 7-8 minutes but don't rush the browning step. Put browned meat into the CrockPot. Add 1 tsp. more olive oil if you need it and saute the onions until they are soft and lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes. Add onions to the CrockPot. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into pieces about 1 inch square. Add sweet potatoes to the CrockPot.
Mix together the soy sauce, chicken stock, sweetener of your choice, brown sugar (or more sweetener), Chili Garlic Sauce, minced ginger, and minced garlic and pour over ingredients in the CrockPot. Cook on high for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the sweet potatoes are done and starting to fall apart just a little. (I stirred it a couple of times, but it's not essential.)
When the sweet potatoes are done, add the can of light coconut milk and the green onion pieces, turn heat to low, and cook 30 minutes more. Serve hot, with brown or white rice and garnished with thinly sliced green onions if desired.
To Make with Leftover Turkey:
Add the leftover chopped turkey about 10-15 minutes before you add the coconut milk.

Step & Go...for better health!
Step & Go...for better health!
Did
you know that anatomically humans are intended to squat when
eliminating? The Step and Go is structurally designed to work in
conjunction with your body and places you in proper squatting posture
for a healthier elimination.
"The Kink"
When
a person sits on a toilet to eliminate, the rectum is forced into a
kinked position forming an angle which creates the need to
strain in order to eliminate. The resulting straining can contribute to: incomplete elimination, straining, hemorrhoids, varicose veins, constipation and fecal stagnation.
The Step and Go
- Elevates your feet for healthier elimination
- Fits all toilets, slides out of the way
- Healthier elimination
- Less Straining
-
Fewer hemorrhoids
- Decreased need for laxatives
- Relief from constipation, bloating, IBS
