Michele’s Message
As we go into summer, many of us will be taking a break from school, work or home obligations and routines. As always, Native Remedies will be right there to help!
This month, we have an excellent set of articles on mood disorders, including anxiety and depression in children, and the link between anxiety and gastrointestinal disorders.
In all these articles, we have included some great tips which have helped many of our customers in the past-- as well as my input as a psychologist on the subjects discussed.
I hope you find this useful.

Simplifying Summer
When someone you are close to suffers from a mood disorder, the excitement of summer vacation is probably not as great as for others. Anxiety and depression have a way of putting the brakes on many of life's most enjoyable times.
This month's issue deals with the widely misunderstood topic of mood disorders in children. The more information you have as a parent, the more you'll be able to provide support to other members of your family, as well as effectively cope with the stress that comes from living with a person with mood disorders.

Also in this month's issue, we bring you insight on the link between anxiety and GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), which causes a lot of discomfort in many who suffer from high levels of stress.
By better understanding how effective stress management can lessen anxiety, you can take control of nervous system health and acidity levels in the stomach.

Family Matters: How family interaction can affect your child!
During childhood, we develop both physically and mentally to prepare ourselves for the challenges of adulthood. The skills we learn during games and interactions with others have a profound effect on our individuality.
When a child suffers from symptoms of depression and anxiety, many of those activities can be severely disrupted-- and cognitive development can greatly suffer as a result.
It is estimated that 1 in 10 children suffer from some form of anxiety disorder, including depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder.

Is Anxiety Giving You Heartburn?
Manage stress to relieve stomach discomfort
Modern day life often compromises systemic health, mainly due to poor stress management and anxiety. Now stress is considered America's #1 health problem.
A study performed by the American Psychological Association in September 2007 found that stress was a fact of life (79 percent of people agreed). However, according to survey responses, Americans routinely experience what they believe are higher than healthy levels of stress.
It is commonly known that anxiety and stress can lead to or aggravate gastrointestinal disorders, so it makes sense that a connection exists between stress, anxiety and stomach disorders like GERD or acid reflux disease.

Gaining Mindfulness Through Meditation
Find out how to begin the healing...
Meditation is a discipline where the mind's intent is to gain focus and concentration power, while at the same time touching a higher state of consciousness. The idea behind meditation is to relax the body and focus thoughts on one thing for a sustained period of time.
The University of Wales has found that teaching mindfulness through meditation to people suffering from depression helps them cope with the negative thoughts present in their minds by emphasizing positive attitudes and behaviors.
Depending on your experience, you may be able to meditate for a few minutes a day or for hours at a time. Focusing your thoughts like this occupies the mind, taking it away from the problems that are causing you stress. It gives your body time to relax and recover from the stresses of the day, and clear away stress-related hormones that may have built up within the body.

Sleep Tonic is a remedy containing a combination of three, cellular-supporting tissue salts especially selected for their effect on brain and nervous system health. This combination of tissue salts can be used regularly in a general capacity to promote systemic balance in the brain and nervous system, as well as in conjunction with other remedies to maintain therapeutic effectiveness.
