Keep the anal area hygienically clean after every bowel movement by washing with a tea tree soapless soap or an equivalent low allergy body soap, preferably having mild antibacterial properties. Wash the area at least 2-3 times daily. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e2. Remove the cap from the tube and use the spike to pierce the underlying seal. Screw on the applicator tip. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e3. Wash the rectal area as described above and use a finger tip to apply Presto Gel to any external haemorrhoids or if only treating internal haemorrhoids, apply to just the area needed to lubricate passage of applicator tip. Insert the applicator carefully to its full length. Slowly withdraw the \u003cbr\u003eapplicator while squeezing the tube to expel a small quantity of the Gel. Clean the applicator and refit the cap. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e4. Apply Presto Gel at least 4-6 times daily to maintain the required antibacterial barrier. A little and often gives best results. Keep finger nails short and clean. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eUsers may experience a temporary, pleasant 'cooling' sensation after each application. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIndividual response may vary so do not reduce the rate of application of Presto Gel until your body has had time to bring about the desired results. Thereafter a reduced maintenance program may be followed but is not mandatory. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eApplication of Presto Gel does not need to be liberal. A quantity about the size of a small green garden pea (250 mg) should be adequate to provide the required protective barrier film to local bacteria. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eEach tube contains 25g which should be sufficient for about 100 applications. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn cases where fissures exist, a brief, slight burning sensation may occur in the rectal area upon first application of the gel. This sensation typically ceases with continued application. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWashing the rectal area will stop the burning sensation (and remove the protective barrier) but this procedure is rarely, if ever necessary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePrecautions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeep out of reach of Children.

Jim Strauss had his in 1979 at age 57. After suffering a massive heart attack, his doctors told him only bypass surgery could save his life. As a seventh-generation-herbalist from an Austrian family that had been the village herbalists since the 1700s, Jim knew that many of the herbs he was familiar with had a long tradition of being heart, circulation and blood tonics. He also knew that his palate could differentiate the functions of many herbs by their exotic tastes, a skill he had acquired in childhood gathering and tasting herbs with his grandparents from the time he could walk.\u003cbr\u003eLike the cobbler with terrible shoes, or the mechanic with the unreliable car, Jim had neglected his own health in the service of others. The most important herbal lessons Jim learned from his parents and grandparents were that, just as in cooking, balance and proportion are key elements in any effective \"recipe.\" Applying his knowledge, his instinct and his fear, Jim was able to develop his now famous blend in a short time.\u003cbr\u003eAt 80 years of age, Jim has retired and \"passed the torch\" to his son Peter, who has been learning his craft at his father's side since he was a little boy. Jim still comes to the \"herbarium\" every day to consult and research, but Peter carries on the day-to-day operations and family tradition of helping people.\u003cbr\u003eThe Strauss Herb Company\u003cbr\u003eThe Strauss Herb Company has evolved from its humble beginnings of hand grinding herbs in the home kitchen for friends and neighbours, to supplying most of the health food stores in Canada with more than 50 unique herbal foods. Strauss Herb Company preparations are now available throughout the world, their popularity growing daily as new customers tell their friends and neighbours about their experience with the products.\u003cbr\u003eWhat can happen while you are taking Strauss Heartdrops?\u003cbr\u003eSome May Experience:\u003cbr\u003eTemporary Cholesterol increase: If you have arterial blockages, cholesterol levels can rise (perhaps dramatically) if plaque on the artery wall dissolves and passes through the blood into the wastes system. If this happens it will result in higher levels of cholesterol in the blood. This is temporary although it can last for quite some time (time frame varies per person).\u003cbr\u003eHeartburn: The cayenne in the drops may cause indigestion or heartburn. If this happens reduce to 1 to 5 drops a day and slowly build up the dosage. Also, eat homemade sauerkraut, made from salt only (not with wine or vinegar) this can rebuild stomach lining.\u003cbr\u003eDetoxification: Two out of one hundred people may experience signs of detoxification. The Strauss Heartdrops may remove toxins from the body these toxins may leave the body through pores in the skin and this may provoke temporary skin irritation (rash or pimples). You may also experience diarrhoea, headache, dizziness, or nausea. If this becomes uncomfortable, reduce the dosage to as little as 1 drop a day (do not completely stop treatment) until the detoxifying stage is complete. This is a very good thing since your body is getting rid of poisons in the body. Then resume the recommended dosage.\u003cbr\u003eBlood Pressure: In some circumstances, a person's blood pressure may elevate temporarily. Normalisation should occur after 60 days. If your blood pressure is very high before starting the drops, start with the low recommended starting dosage and monitor your blood pressure regularly.\u003cbr\u003eSome of the herbs in the Strauss Heartdrops include\u003cbr\u003eGarlic is useful to help maintain peripheral circulation and improve general wellbeing. It is considered an ideal food in assisting with lowering blood fat and improving general heart health. It is also used to relieve symptoms of colds and flu, allergies, mucous congestion and to help fight mild upper respiratory infections. It is a good all rounder and an ideal supplement to take throughout winter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCayenne is considered primarily as a circulatory stimulant. Taking this herb will give more power to the circulatory system and can improve symptoms such as cold extremities, colds, flu, sore throat, arthritis, poor digestion, fatigue, headaches and indigestion. Cayenne is a herb that will feed the necessary elements into the cell structures of the arteries, veins and capillaries so that they regain elasticity and so that blood pressure returns to normal. Cayenne normalises blood pressure, influencing the heart immediately. As a stimulant, it can start the heart into action again and keep it going. Cayenne is one of the richest and most stable sources of Vitamin E, which is known to be a heart builder.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHawthorne is known as The Heart Herb. It strengthens and regulates the heart. It is especially good for weakened heart muscles caused by age, and for insufficiency of the heart valves (angina pectoris). It alleviates Hypertrophy (enlargement of the heart) and fibrillation of the heart. It relaxes the blood vessels and this helps to lower blood pressure. Hawthorn possesses a unique balancing effect on the heart and circulation, thus qualifying it as a reliable support tonic in cardiovascular care.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral recent German studies verify that Hawthorn will increase coronary circulation by dilating coronary vessels and strengthen heart and muscle tissue while acting as a mild diuretic (useful in hypertension). It also contains components which have been shown to improve tone and elasticity of arteries and veins. Hawthorn has been shown effective in nutritional support of angina, degenerative cardiac muscle, heart-related hypertension, myocardial weakness from infectious diseases of the heart, and as prevention from tachycardia and arrhythmia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA unique herbal dietary supplement for \"advanced heart support\".
