The Beauty of Natural Ageing

The Beauty of Natural Ageing

“Don’t regret growing old. It’s a privilege denied to many.” – Unknown

When I first read this quote, it caused me to think seriously about my attitude to growing older. How do I feel about myself ageing? How can I make a difference?

I decided to challenge my attitude. Rather than seeking out natural anti ageing skin care or looking for an anti ageing program, I’ve chosen to embrace ageing as a blessing. A blessing in that at 67 years, I am still here. There are so many situations and factors that can occur and lead to the destruction or disability of one’s life. However, as we grow older, most people seem to experience an internal conflict. From the moment we are born, we begin to age. I remember wishing I was 13 (a teenager), then 16 (L plates), then 17 (driving), then 18 (legal drinking). But as we become older, many start wanting to turn back the clock.

Why is Ageing Viewed Negatively?

I started to pay attention to the social, political and emotional issues of ageing. I became very aware of the way we describe this inevitable process. We, as a society, need to label our various stages of life, e.g. toddlers, young adults, and seniors/pensioners. This allows us to market products and services for the target audience, such as natural anti ageing skin care. However, in doing so, I think we have also adopted negative language to describe and label the ageing process. These terms include anti-ageing, age defying, ageing youthfully (what does this mean?), and many more.

My Oxford Dictionary states that ‘anti’ means opposed to, against, preventing. Likewise, ‘defying’ has a resistance or rebelling definition. Personally, these words connote an opposing and negating attitude when ageing is a process that really we should be thankful for. I for one am rejoicing that I’m still here in this beautiful world.

Ageing well is sometimes difficult and complicated. There is a growing body of information and resources to help along the way. Perhaps now it’s time to look at how we define and describe ageing and use more positive and helpful labels. It’s time to assist and encourage people to embrace ageing. I’m going to.

Maybe, this is how I can make a difference.

I have been seeing Erin Graystone for the last 5 months for gut issues I have had for a number of years. She is very knowledgeable and ensured that the treatment and solution provided was targeted and tailored to my issues which has brought me great relief and improvement. A very professional, friendly and understanding approach that I would recommend to others.
Lina is absolutely fantastic to work with. Her passion for her work shows in absolutely every aspect of her practise - her level of care, her thoroughness & determination to help.
Angela is friendly and helpful, she takes the time to explain things clearly and cares about health. I have felt an improvement since following her advice thank you 🙏
Emma is friendly, knowledgeable & very thorough in her testing so as to resolve existing issues.
Coming into the clinic it feels instantly warm and cuddly. Very welcoming. I had the pleasure of seeing Rebecca, she was amazing and very knowledgable. Rebecca was brilliant at prescribing me natural supplements that catered to my specific needs. I’d love to praise her on her communication skills also, I am Deaf, and even having my interpreter alongside me, Rebecca spoke and looked directly at me, making me feel seen, heard and understood. I would also give a big round of applause to the receptionist and other staff at the clinic, they were all very accomodating, warm and friendly.
I've been seeing Lina for about two years now to treat a skin related condition. Lina is extremely knowledgeable; she is patient and persistent but best of all, she is practical! Her advice was tailored to suit my lifestyle and commitments without being unworkable or unrealistic. She really cares and is passionate about health. I would recommend Lina 100%.
I have been seeing Erin Graystone for the past 4 months due to leaky gut symptoms and a bacterial overgrowth in my GI tract. Erin is knowledgeable, kind and understanding and really goes the extra mile to make sure you are getting the right treatment. My symptoms are greatly reduced and we are on track to a full recovery after 10 years of other practitioner’s not finding an answer. It’s been life changing. Can’t recommend her highly enough. Thankyou Erin
Today was my second visit with Lina who is so kind and caring and she has given me hope that my perimenopause symptoms can be balanced with her guidance. I have already felt a shift in my sleep which had been horrible. The clinic is so lovely, staff are very helpful and I look forward to the journey ahead of managing this transition in my life.
I've had stomach problems for years and doctors have never properly diagnosed the problem. After one meeting with Emma I was giving a breath test and found the issue. We are now working to fix the issue
