The Win Report

A medicinal beverage in Asia for almost 4000 years, green tea is creating a splash in Western society recently. The humble tea leaves belie a bittersweet taste, delicate texture and unique aroma that give rise to a wide array of health benefits.

History

Green tea has been a traditional drink in Japan for over a thousand years, originating in 2737BC as Emperor Shen Nung caught the freshest aroma when some leaves accidentally fell into his cup of simmering water. This royal discovery led to a rich store of wonderful stories passed down from generation to generation, of wonderful health and vitality bestowed upon all of those who drank this beverage.

Ecology

Most teas are harvested from camellia sinensis, a native Asian plant that thrives on high altitudes, rich mineral soils and warm climate. To harvest tea leaves of exceptional quality, the bush is constantly pruned to bring forth an abundance of tender shiny leaves and pure white petals.

There are about 33 types of green tea worldwide and, depending on the region, tea garden and harvest process, each tea emanates its own unique taste.

Compared to its relatives, black tea and oolong tea, which undergo complex processing, green tea stands out in its purity. Immediately after harvesting, green tea leaves are fried or lightly steamed to prevent oxidation and destroy enzymes that would otherwise ferment the health-enhancing polyphenols.

Health Notes

The wondrous benefits of green tea extend way beyond its popular conception of detoxifying and deceleration of the aging process. Packed with polyphenols, catechin, fluoride, manganese, potassium, minerals and vitamins A, B1, B2, C and E, green tea brims with goodness for whoever consumes it.

Polyphenols or flavonoids are natural chemicals found in plants. As one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants, polyphenols scavenge the destructive free radicals in the body and have anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties.

Catechin, which gives green tea its bittersweet taste, helps eliminate food poisoning pathogens, reduces allergic reactions, balances cholesterol levels, prevents cold and promotes good immunity.

Fluoride, naturally found in tea, is renowned for its ability to promote good dental health and retards the onset of cavities. To add on to this repertoire, green tea also aids in digestion, reduces phlegm, improves eyesight and enhances mental prowess. As green tea is spreading its wide-ranging benefits throughout the world, Bel’Air has also spearheaded the first-ever green tea essential oil, giving a modern twist to an ancient panacea. As green tea increases the rate of metabolism and burns off more calories, this innovative product has also worked wonders as a slimming aid for many of our users.

A hypnotherapist is committed to changing clients’ bad habits. This is achieved by following a plan, and a program to get rid of bad habits related, in this case, to hemorrhoids, or other issues that are known to many of us in our subconscious mind level. The reason we cannot simply control our bad habits without enlisting professional help, is because our primitive mind is programmed in our memory program. The memory program contains about 88% from our subconscious mind.

Dr. Jasvant Modi, Chief of Gastroenterology, and President of medical staff at Temple Community Hospital in Los Angeles, recommends maintaining a high-fiber diet supplemented by drinking plenty of fluids and a healthy, active lifestyle to prevent recurrence of hemorrhoids.

Changes in diet can result in normal bowel habits, and as a result, relief. In some cases, hemorrhoids must be treated endoscopically or surgically, shrinking and destroying the hemorrhoid tissue by a gastroenterology and internal medicine (G.I.) specialist.

Testimonials received from satisfied Clients

“I’ve tried creams, supplements and even surgery right after having my first baby. That only lasted for a year. My hemorrhoids came back and even more painful. For nearly 11 years I was in pain. Then I skeptically decided to try hypnotherapy over the phone six months ago. I wasn’t disappointed, within days my hemorrhoids were gone. I can’t thank you enough.

If you are conscious, have an IQ higher than about 80 (average is 100), have the ability to concentrate, and also have the ability to dream - then you can be hypnotised.

You see, hypnosis is a perfectly normal state of consciousness that you will enter into maybe several times a day. Hypnosis is just an altered state of awareness. If you’ve ever been lost in a book; engrossed by a film or TV program; realised you have no recollection of the road you’ve been driving along for 20 minutes; or daydreamed; then you have been in an altered state.

The only difference between those examples and formal hypnosis is that with formal hypnosis you are directed into that altered state by the hypnotherapist, rather than by your environment.

Usually though, when people ask ‘Can I be hypnotised?’ what they are really asking is ‘Will this treatment work?’

And whether or not the treatment will work depends not just on whether or not an individual can be hypnotised, but on how suggestible they are. Suggestibility, as the word suggests, is responsiveness to suggestion. Most people are responsive to suggestion. If they weren’t then there would be no adverts on TV, radio, or in the press. Let’s face it; there isn’t a single thing that is advertised on TV, radio, press, billboard, or anywhere else, that we couldn’t live without; not one thing that is essential to our well-being and good health.

Yet most of the things we buy are bought in response to the idea that our life experience will somehow be enhanced by our new possession - not because it’s true, but because we are suggestible. The suggestions are so subtle that we will hotly contest any suggestion that we were influenced by the ad. The ad might have drawn our attention to it (attention=subliminal suggestion), and let us know that it was available (available=subliminal suggestion), and produced by a ‘brand-name’ (brand-name=subliminal suggestion); and use key words like ‘free’, ‘extras’, ‘value’, ‘less than…’, ‘health’, ‘vitality’, ‘young’, ‘tests have proved’, ’scientists…’, ‘modern’, ‘9 out of 10′, ‘x% fat free’; along with words and phrases that suggest you will be left behind in the past if you ignore this opportunity to possess…

The ads do all of this and we all think we are making a free choice, uninfluenced.

Those who deny their own suggestibility and defend their freedom of mind to choose independently of outside influences are simply fooling themselves. From the point of view of the therapist, a client who is ‘resistant’ to suggestion i.e. someone who won’t allow another to tell them what to do, is simply treated by asking them to do the opposite of what is required.

Stage hypnotists use suggestibility tests (such as the hand-clasp) on their audience in order to select suitable participants.

Here’s one you can try on a group friends who might like to find out if they can be hypnotised.

Ask them:
* to close their eyes and hold both their arms out horizontally in front of them, palms facing down.
* to rotate their left wrist so that that palm is now facing upwards.
* to imagine a big heavy book like an encyclopaedia volume being placed on their upturned palm.

* to imagine they can feel that heavy book pressing down on their hand.
* to imagine a big brightly coloured helium balloon being tied by a bright red ribbon to the wrist of their right hand so that it takes the weight of the arm and lifts it upwards.
* to add more books to the left hand and more balloons to the right hand until your ‘audience’ is demonstrating a significant difference in level between both their arms.

* to open their eyes and look at how their arms have moved.

This is suggestibility in action. It only doesn’t work if it is actively resisted.

If there is any response to these suggestions then that individual can be hypnotised, because they just have been.

Hypnosis works because the client goes along with the suggestions of the therapist, i.e. doesn’t resist them.

So if you think you can’t be hypnotised, forget it, everyone is hypnotised, every thought we have is somehow influenced by the thought that went before it, and if someone else put that prior thought into your mind by asking you not to think about chocolate, and sometime later that day you find yourself eating your favourite chocolate bar…
