How can NaturalEco StretchEasy Formula help you?

Every pregnant woman worries about stretch marks and the effect of pregnancy on her body. While it is important to keep your skin well hydrated and in top condition from the outside (and our StretchEasy Massage Oil works wonders!) it is also very important to support and encourage healthy skin and connective tissue from the inside out.

For this purpose, NaturalEco has developed a specially selected formula of biochemic tissue salts known to benefit skin and connective tissue health keeping your skin in top form during and after pregnancy.

What is StretchEasy Formula?

NaturalEco StretchEasy Formula contains biochemic tissue salts of Calcium fluoride, Calcium phosphate and Natrium muriaticum. Tissue salts are naturally occurring in the human body and are safe to use during pregnancy.

They work internally to prevent stretch marks, improve skin and connective tissue tone, flexibility and elasticity and to prevent water retention and swollen ankles.

Use NaturalEco StretchEasy Tablets to:

* Improve skin elasticity and flexibility of connective tissue
* Prevent stretch marks caused by pregnancy
* Prevent water retention and swollen ankles

StretchEasy Formula contains the following Biochemic Tissue Salts in a lactose tablet:

Calcium Fluoride is a tissue salt which helps strengthen, tone and restore elasticity to all cells and body tissues. It can help restore tone and elasticity to muscles, connective tissue, tendons and skin and improve flexibility and ease of movement in the body.

Natrium muriaticum is a biochemic tissue salt which helps maintain the body’s water balance and is an essential component of all living cells. This tissue salt has an excellent reputation for effectively treating a number of skin conditions.

Calcium Phosphate restores strength to the body tissues and is useful during times of growth and development. It is also useful for improving circulation, bones and teeth – and can therefore be of benefit to your baby’s development too!

How do I use StretchEasy Formula?

We recommend that you begin using StretchEasy Formula from about the third or fourth month of pregnancy. Suck 4 tablets in a clean mouth three times a day.

For maximum effect, use along with StretchEasy Massage Oil to encourage skin health and strength from inside and outside (and also enjoy a wonderful, relaxing aromatherapuetic massage at the same time!).

Testimonials

‘Dear NaturalEco Organics,
I feel I have to write and tell you how amazed I am at the improvement in my skin after using your StretchEasy Formula. In recent years I have been feeling increasingly despondent at the state of my skin as age, gravity and pregnancies have taken their toll. I found your site and ordered Stretcheasy formula during my third (and last!) pregnancy and thought I would give it a chance. I used this formula throughout my pregnancy and could really see the difference. My skin felt supple and healthier than it has in years and scars, blemishes and stretch marks all faded gradually- a far cry from the havoc usually wrought on my skin by pregnancy. I will continue using this great supplement as long as it is available and look forward to seeing more improvements!’ Lauren C., Age 37

‘Thank you for your excellent stretch mark remedies! I have been prone to stretch marks since I was a teenager and seemed to get new ones every time I lost or gained even a few pounds. I was worried that after my pregnancy I would end up completely covered in these unsightly stripes so I used the NaturalEco StretchEasy Formula and StretchEasy Massage Oil religiously. Not only is my belly still relatively free of stretchmarks after almost the full 9 months, but even those stretch marks that I already had have faded and look much better than before I was pregnant! ‘ Theresa, NC

What else is important?

There are a number of things you can do to maintain the integrity and health of your skin and prevent stretch marks that are so common in pregnancy.

1. The first step is to eat a healthy, balanced diet. You should not diet at all during pregnancy but remember you don�t really need to eat for two either! It is best to monitor your weight gain and try not to exceed the recommendations that your doctor will have discussed with you. You should gain weight steadily throughout the 9 months of pregnancy – a total of between 25 and 35 pounds. This way, you will not only ensure optimal nutritional health but your skin will also have a chance to stretch gradually rather than suddenly increase in size thereby creating stretch marks.

2. It is also important to drink plenty of water to keep your skin and whole body well-hydrated. Dehydrated skin is more susceptible to all types of damage and scarring.

3. Remember that once you have given birth you are still at risk for getting stretch marks due to the rapid loss of weight. Keep up with all your good habits at least until you are back at your approximate pre-pregnancy weight. Eat healthily and get regular exercise to help return to your pre-pregnancy weight rather than crash diet and risk getting stretchmarks due to rapid weight loss! Breastfeeding will also help you to lose weight at a healthy pace and, contrary to popular opinion, will not cause stretchmarks.

4. Use StretchEasy Formula in combination with our aromatherapy StretchEasy Massage Oil for optimum skin health and maximum protection from stretchmarks.

StretchEasy Formula is manufactured according to the highest pharmaceutical standards. Individual ingredients are well-researched, natural, safe and effective.

StretchEasy Formula is backed by our 60-day money-back guarantee so you can experience relief risk-free.


What are Restless Leg Syndrome and Periodic Limb Movement?

Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is a common condition which causes pain and discomfort and prevents healthy sleeping patterns in sufferers. If you often feel an urge to move your legs when sitting or lying still for a long time, experience a “funny,” uncomfortable, creepy or itchy sensation in your legs when at rest or have ever woken yourself or your partner up during the night with jerking movements of your legs you may very well have Restless Leg Syndrome or RLS.

These symptoms are usually most troublesome at night though they can also occur during long stretches of inactivity, such as car trips, airline travel, in meetings, or when watching movies. Voluntarily moving the legs usually brings temporary relief from the unpleasant sensations. RLS is often detrimental to normal sleeping patterns, leading to insomnia and subsequent fatigue during the day – a problem that is inconvenient and debilitating for many people. Restless leg syndrome often has an insidious onset and worsens slowly over time. As the condition deteriorates the arms may also become involved.

Periodic Limb Movement of Sleep (PLMS or PLM) is a similar condition, but occurs during sleep. People suffering from PLM are not always aware of their problem although it does sometimes wake them up. Often the problem is reported by their sleeping partner who is kept awake by the involuntary movements during sleep. While not all people with RLS experience PLM, many people will have both conditions, although RLS remains the most troublesome to the sufferer.

What causes RLS and PLM?

Although a single cause for Restless Leg Syndrome and Periodic Limb Movement has not been identified, these sleep disorders have been associated with several other conditions including pregnancy, obesity, neurological conditions, diabetes, ADHD, nutritional deficiency and kidney disease. People with these conditions are far more prone to RLS and PLM, though the symptoms often resolve when the underlying condition is properly treated or comes to a natural end.

Deficiencies of minerals, notably magnesium deficiency and iron deficiency anemia are also implicated in causing RLS and PLM. Environmental and other toxins including alcohol, cigarette smoke, caffeine and certain drugs like antihistamines, anti-nausea drugs, blood pressure medications and certain prescription antidepressants can also cause or worsen symptoms.

Because these conditions sometime run in families, researchers are currently investigating a genetic link as well.

How are RLS and PLM usually treated?

If there is a known underlying condition causing RLS or PLM, treatment will be based on correcting the underlying disease. If no causative condition is known there are several drugs currently used to treat the symptoms of RLS and these are generally sedatives, anti-convulsants, pain-killers or dopaminergic drugs. All of these prescription drugs have the potential to cause adverse side-effects and some are also addictive. For this reason, people who suffer from PLM without RLS are often advised against medication due to the fact that PLM causes fewer problems and less sleep disturbance than RLS.

What is LegCalm Formula?

LegCalm is a 100% safe and effective natural remedy for treating Restless Leg Syndrome and Periodic Limb Movement.

Presented in convenient capsule form, regular use can help to relieve the symptoms of these troublesome sleep disorders as well as address the underlying causes.

What are the ingredients of LegCalm?

LegCalm contains the following herbal and homeopathic ingredients:

Astragalus membranaceous is a well-known revitalizing herb used for centuries in traditional Chinese Medicine. Astragalus balances and improves functioning of all the body’s organ systems through its adaptogenic and tonic properties. This herb also boosts circulation and assists absorption of iron from food. This is important for sufferers of RLS as iron-deficiency anemia has been implicated in this condition.

Ruscus acluteatus is also known as Butcher’s Broom and is used extensively in Europe to improve circulation and relieve the pain and discomfort associated with restless leg syndrome. Also useful in treatment of constipation and water retention, circulatory disorders including hemorrhoids and varicose veins and as a bladder and kidney tonic.

Aesculus hippocastum (Horse Chestnut) helps promote healthy blood circulation throughout the body, including the legs and can relieve Periodic Limb Movement and RLS by keeping the blood flowing smoothly even during rest and sleep.

Rhus tox. (30c) is a homeopathic remedy for restless leg syndrome and is very effective in relieving the overwhelming desire to constantly move, change position or even get up and walk around at night. Rhus tox. is also useful for treating stiffness, snoring and night-time anxiety.

Zinc met. (30C) is another homeopathic treatment for RLS and is used effectively for improving immune system functioning and aiding absorption of minerals to prevent deficiencies. Zinc met.also acts as a calming and psychologically soothing ingredient for people whose anxiety and excess energy manifest as periodic limb movement and night-time restlessness.

Mag. phos. (6C) is one of the 12 Biochemic Tissue Salts and is very useful in the treatment of spasms, muscle contractions and twitching and is an excellent aid in preventing involuntary limb movement. Mag. phos. also addresses deficiency of Magnesium which is known to be associated with Restless Leg Syndrome and Periodic Limb Movement.

How has LegCalm helped others?

“My husband has had PLM for years and although it doesn’t always bother him much, his jerking wakes me up a LOT. In the last several months his symptoms have deteriorated and he began having trouble sitting still even when watching TV for a short time. He felt uncomfortable and had difficulty relaxing. I found your natural remedy for restless legs on the web and suggested he give it a try. After just three days I slept through the night for the first time in ages and now, two weeks later, he has absolutely no trouble with restless legs. If I had known the solution to his problem would be so simple, safe and effective I would have bought LegCalm years ago!” – Lilian

“Your LegCalm Formula has really been a miracle for me – no more hideous, crawling feeling in my legs every time I lie down to go to sleep at night!!! I really didn’t know what to do with myself at night and I would twist and turn in bed and kick and shake my legs trying to get comfortable and relax enough to fall asleep. I was always tired in the mornings and often felt I couldn’t function 100% at work due to my sleep being so interrupted every night. LegCalm has changed all that and now I barely know myself – I sleep peacefully without restlessness at all and can sit still through an entire dinner party without having to get up constantly to relieve the funny feeling in my legs. I introduced people I know through an online RLS support group to your remedy and have had great feedback from those who have tried it! Thank you for a great product.” – Victoria, UK.
