BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

Breast Cancer Awareness There is no better way to be prepared than by reading Breast Cancer? Breast Health By Susun Weed. This book is invaluable for women who want to maintain breast health as well as women diagnosed with breast cancer. As a cancer survivor of both breast & uterine cancers, I usually work with women who have been diagnosed or are now undergoing treatment. Statistics show: You have a 1 in 7 chance of getting breast cancer The gene abnormalities most linked to breast cancer, BRCA1 & BRCA2, can only be traced to approximately 10% of all breast cancers The day my doctor told me I had breast cancer; I did not know that it would change my life. In fact, it became one of the best times of my life. A diagnosis of cancer is a chance for deep reflection & profound changes; priorities & future plans. Research has shown that a variety of modalities such as aromatherapy, positively affect some cancer treatment side-effects, including fatigue, insomnia, pain and nausea. Cancer weakens one's hope and slowly separates a patient's body and soul. Do not give it power; Cancer is just a word. Essential oils are soothing & nurturing; aiding every level- physically, emotionally & spiritually. Frequent breast massage can help keep breast healthy by increasing circulation & activating the lymphatic system, flushing out toxins. A good herbal infused oil is an important element for breast massage (I like calendula & plantain). Essential oils such as rose geranium, lavender & citrus oils, most especially Lemon are wise choices. As usual during this month we will be donating a portion of all sales to the National Women’s Health Network, along with our ongoing support for our support center “When you seek the truth ask a wise woman”
