Ending Holiday Stress
You might remember the day Santa Claus brought you your
first bicycle. It had green handlebars and seemed to shine
under the Christmas tree lights.
It was hard to believe that the present of your dreams had
actually arrived.
You knew you’d always remember it as the best Christmas
ever.
Fast forward a few years. It’s Christmas week, and you’re a
basket case. You don’t think you’ll ever be able to finish
all the shopping, the wrapping, and the decorating in time
for the big day.
You also have visits to make, cards to send, and donations
to mail out. You are dealing with full fledged Christmas
stress, and it shows no signs of abating.
The stress of the holiday season can be trying in the best
of circumstances.
But if you’re dealing with other major stressors, such as
the recent death of a loved one, holiday stress can seem
unbearable. You might be so tense that you cannot enjoy any
holiday-related activities.
You might snap at your children or your spouse, and you
might find yourself unable to focus at work.
There are many causes of holiday stress. To begin with, you
might be striving to fulfill unrealistic expectations.
You might have a perfect postcard view of the holidays a
vision that no human being could expect to realize. Your
impressions of holidays might have been formed by the
movies, where families gather around a tree and sing
Christmas carols in perfect harmony.
Another common cause of holiday stress is having too many
people on your Christmas list. You might expect yourself to
buy for not only members of your immediate family, but also
for teachers, friends, distant relatives, and co-workers.
You don’t want to leave anyone out, so you create a list
that even Santa Claus would find difficult to fill.
You might also be suffering from the stressed out host
syndrome. You might have been elected to hold Christmas
festivities at your house, and you’re panicked.
You’re striving to decorate the house, trim the tree,
grocery shop, bake cookies, and prepare fudge. You don’t
know when you’ll have time to string the lights in front of
your house, or to mount the Christmas cards on the
fireplace.
Family members might be contributing to your stress. Your
children might be demanding the latest video games, even
though you’re budget will never accommodate them.
Your mate might be demanding that you increase your share
of the holiday chores. Your parents might be demanding to
stay a week or more at your house, creating further tension
for your household.
The fact is, you can enjoy the holidays while reducing your
stress level considerably. This begins with engaging in
some pre-holiday planning.
Write a list of your goals for the holidays. What do you
really want to accomplish this year? What can you
realistically do on your own, and what will you need help
with? Putting your aims in writing can help to give you
some peace of mind.
It’s also important that you set your own agenda for the
holidays. Don’t let other people dictate the agenda for
you. In this way, you can ensure that your needs are met,
before you attempt to fulfill the needs of others.
Chances are, your goals are not to buy presents for
everyone you’ve ever met or to get out every decoration
you’ve ever owned. Rather, your goal is probably to have a
safe, festive holiday where you, your family and friends
can enjoy the festivities.
Realizing what your true goal is, and mapping out a way to
get there, can help to reduce your stress.
There is no denying that holidays make additional demands
on your time. However, through appropriate time-management
techniques, you can work to ensure that you are not
overwhelmed by responsibilities.
If you have a difficult task to face, consider enlisting
the aid of family and friends. Sharing the load can reduce
your stress level remarkably.
Also, you have to strike the idea that you must have the
perfect holiday. Instead, strive to create a holiday that’s
good enough good enough to make you smile good enough to
bring joy to your loved ones.
Also, spend at least part of your holiday preparations
doing some good for someone in need. You’ll find the
experience rewarding and it should help you to better cope
with holiday demands.

Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia Treatment Understanding Your Condition
Before you can understand the treatments used for fibromyalgia you must have an understanding of the disease. Fibromyalgia is a disease that is not well known throughout the medical profession.
It is linked to arthritis but the symptoms are different. Unlike arthritis which affects the body’s joints this disease affects the muscles. Parts of the body can become tender and sore to the touch due to the muscles in these areas not receiving enough oxygen.
The symptoms are different for each individual and can seem to disappear completely only to return at a later date. Many times the symptoms will be worse at certain times of the day like in the mornings and during the late afternoon.
The weather conditions can also increase your symptoms; damp rainy weather or extreme cold can increase the pain a person feels. The amount of stress that you deal with contributes to the symptoms along with the amount of physical activity you encounter.
Fibromyalgia Symptoms
There are a lot of symptoms that are associated with fibromyalgia which is the main reason it so difficult to diagnose. Below is a list of a few of these symptoms.
* Muscle pain, spasms or leg cramps
* Insomnia or waking up still feeling tired
* Always feeling tired and having little energy
* Being sensitive to one or more of the following, light, sound, noise, odors, foods, cold and medicines
* Dizziness
* Headaches
* Upset stomach
* A feeling of anxiety or depression
Treatments
Finding a treatment that works for a person suffering with fibromyalgia may be rather difficult. Everyone is affected differently and what works for one person may not benefit another at all.
In looking for a treatment you want to find something that will help to reduce the pain making it easier to function.
You also need a treatment that will help to decrease the feeling of fatigue and one that will help increase your sleep. Some of the treatments used are listed below.
* Medications
* Exercise
* Diet
* Rehabilitation
If you suffer from fibro the best way to treat this condition is by setting up a program that allows you to get enough rest, avoid as much stress as possible and eat right.
Understanding your condition and having a set program as part of your fibromyalgia treatment will help you deal with this disease easier.
Fibromyalgia Treatment Tips For Around The House
When you suffer from fibromyalgia, even the slightest relief is a miracle to the suferer. Anything at all that can aid your fibromyalgia treatment or reduce your symptoms or pain is very helpful.
In addition to the fibromyalgia treatment your doctor has set you up for, there are additional steps that you can take even on small things around your home that will help you to feel better
Listed below are some of the tips and techniques that I tried that helped me to recover from chronic fibromyalgia pain.
* Since one common area of pain for fibromyalgia sufferers is the hands, many of these tips relate to easing the tension on the hands.
* Buy easy to prepare foods. It’s often hard – or even impossible- to cook when you suffer from fibromyalgia but eating out all the time is unhealthy and can become expensive. You can buy more “ready-made” meals, pre-cut vegetables, etc to make cooking and preparing meals at home easier for you.
* Use very sharp knives. When you must cook or use scissors, make sure they are very sharp so you use less pressure to make the cut and apply less tension to your hands.
* Use a paper shredder. If you find yourself needing to cut or tear a lot of papers, you will want to use a paper shredder instead. For many fibromyalgia sufferers, even tearing up a receipt can cause pain.
* Avoid excess strain on your hands. It may be hard for you to do things such as sewing, knitting, long periods of typing, etc. If you must do these things, you should try to limit the amount of time you spend on it at once.
* Get ergonomical. Try to keep things such as your office and workplace as ergonomically correct as possible.
* Adjust your home. There are some changes you might want to make around your home and office to help your daily functions be more comfortable. For example, you should angle your computer monitor to eye level. Try different chairs, pillow, etc to make yourself more comfortable and ease pain later.
Making small changes such as these around your home can improve the way you feel and help aid other stages in your fibromyalgia treatment.

Key Solutions for Managing Stress Better
Key Solutions for Managing Stress Better
Stress is not all bad. In fact, a certain amount of stress
can make life interesting and engaging.
We cannot escape every deadline or every commitment, so,
rather than trying to eliminate stress entirely, we need to
attempt to control stress as best we can.
Interestingly enough, if we don’t have enough stress, we
may end up feeling tired and hopeless.
It would be wonderful if we could come up with a
mathematical formula for stress the amount of stress an
individual could conceivably accept without going into
overdrive.
However, optimal stress levels vary from person to person
and from situation to situation. In fact, a situation that
might make your skin crawl might be invigorating for
another person.
Likewise, a person who thrives on constant change would be
stressed out in a job that is mundane, while an individual
that hates change would be stressed out in a position that
is constantly in a state of flux.
Experts believe that many illnesses are directly tied to
stress. If you find yourself becoming constantly ill, or
you feel nervous much of the time, you need to develop
strategies for coping.
It should be noted, however, that stress management is a
practiced art you can’t expect to master it in a single
day.
However, if you keep at it, chances are you will learn ways
to deal effectively with stress.
One of the first things you should do is to learn what your
primary stressors are.
Is it cooking dinner?
Preparing for a presentation?
Driving to work?
While you cannot necessarily eliminate these chores, you
can make them more manageable. For instance, if cooking
dinner stresses you out, consider ordering takeout once a
week in order to take a break from your normal routine.
If preparing presentations is a problem, learn to divide up
the project so that you’re only focusing on a section at a
time. If your morning commute leaves you frazzled, try
leaving for work fifteen minutes earlier.
The idea here is to recognize your stressors and come up
with ideas for limiting their impact.
You should then try if at all possible to lessen your
emotional reactions to stressors. You may notice that
stressors cause you to think negatively, focusing on the
worst aspects of a situation.
Instead, consider a stressor an opportunity for improving
your life. Try to determine whether you are overreacting to
certain situations.
It is entirely possible that every stressor you encounter
is not urgent that you can take your time to assess the
situation and therefore reduce your stress level.
Also, think of yourself as being in control of your
emotions. While you may not be able to do anything about a
certain situation, you can control your reactions to it.
Pay close attention to your physical reactions to stress.
For instance, adopt deep breathing techniques in order to
decrease your heart rate.
If your physical reactions to stress are severe, you should
consult your doctor to see if you should be on medication.
However, a simple reaction to stress is to simply take a
break from the action. This way, you can get some valuable
"alone time" to think through a situation and see if you
can find the light at the end of the tunnel.
Another effective way to fight stress is to strengthen your
body. You should engage in aerobic activity at least three
times a week.
You should also make sure you’re eating nutritious food.
Try to avoid stimulants such as sugar and caffeine, and
make sure that you get enough sleep each night.
These simple strategies can help you to cope when
situations seem overwhelming.
You have to recognize that stress is an inevitable part of
life. You cannot go through life coasting from one
situation to the next and not expect to encounter some
stress.
However, with effective management techniques, you can turn
stressful situations into opportunities for growth. The
more strategies you invoke to deal with stressors, the
happier and healthier you will be.
But remember to start slowly and build up your emotional
reserves.
A gradual approach works best when it comes to stress
management otherwise, you could actually become stressed
out by the pressure of it all.

Treating Acne with Antibiotics
Because acne is caused at least in part from bacteria, it
is very helpful to many to actually use antibiotics to help
treat the condition.
There are several options that can work for you, depending
on what is causing your acne and your doctors decision on
how to treat them.
Treating acne with antibiotics it is necessary for you to
seek out a doctor to help in the purchase of prescription
antibiotics, but many are given by family doctors for
patients that are in need.
The antibiotics that can be used to treat acne can do so in
the form of either a topical product or an oral antibiotic.
It has been shown that they offer about the same type of
help no matter how they are used and applied.
Topical products can actually be better for some
individuals because they do not cause any real side effects
that ingesting can cause such as stomach problems and drug
interactions with other medications that you are taking.
The most common types of antibiotics for topical treatments
of acne include clindamycin, erythromycin and in some cases
tetracycline. On the other hand, oral antibiotics can be
beneficial as well as topical products.
If you have a large area that is in need of treatment,
these can be quite difficult to treat with topical
ointments.
It can be easier then to just take the medication orally.
The oral options to treat acne include tetracycline or
erythromycin. These are the most common options for oral
antibiotics for acne treatment.
These medications can help you to stop the bacteria that is
irritating your skin and therefore causing it to be
irritated, but this does not, by itself, improve the acne
that you have.
As soon as the bacterium gets to the pores, again, you
still have a problem. It is necessary to treat acne in
several ways, in most people. Usually, it is the
combination of factors and treatments that allows you to
get the most benefit from acne relief.
Antibiotics like these can and do help with the relief of
acne but they do much better when they are combined with
other methods. Often, the problem lies in how much oil the
skin is absorbing.
When this is the case, it is essential that the oil glands
are regulated at well or you will just be attracting new
bacteria to the pores.
Treating acne with antibiotics if you stop taking your
antibiotics and still have the right opportunities for acne
to reappear, it can be only a few weeks to even a few days
until you see acne forming again.

Menopause relief can come in the form of simple changes to
your life.
Although you may or may not be one of the women that
experiences drastic changes to their life when menopause

water per day. Water or other clear fluids are ideal for
menopause relief.

drinks.

you have sensitivity to foods, try to keep them out of your
diet. Putting your body through those experiences can cause
you to feel even worse.

do not need to eat excessive sugar or sweet products, fried
and greasy foods, or drink lots of caffeine. These foods
have very little nutritional value and they can cause
additional problems.

Anti-Aging and Beauty
Anti-Aging and Beauty
Commercialism and media has placed high emphasis on beauty,
thus nowadays everyone is trying to look like some
supermodel.
Contrary to beauty, millions of people are aging rapidly
nowadays, thus the emphasis on beauty is increasing.
The marketplace now has a surplus of Anti-Aging and Beauty
products available with all manufacturers and sellers
claiming one product works better than the other products
offered on the market. Famous people even have their own
line of products, including Victoria Principal.
Reclaim with ARGIRELINE is sold on the market, and the
producer or marketer is Victoria Principal. The Anti-Aging
and Beauty supposedly produces powerful actions, while
producing youthful skin in about one month.
The product claims to diminish wrinkles greatly, while
hydrating the skin in minutes. Furthermore, the product
RETEXTURIZES the skin while reducing moisture that is loss
due to age and environmental diminishing.
One of the better deals about this Anti-Aging and Beauty
product is that it cost less than many other Anti-Aging and
Beauty products cost, with the pricing around $30. The
product sellers’ claim that according to topical studies
around eighty-percent of users claimed the product
decreased their lines and wrinkles caused form aging,
squinting, laughing, and frowning.
The first step requires that you cleanse the face, and
apply the solution. According to the reports, a few blobs
of the deep-cleanser formula will remove filth and
griminess, while melting away make-up.
Thus, the process will start to tone the face area, while
readying the skin for the next steps. It is recommended
that the solution is massaged into the skin. The aroma is
of melon and after washing the skin, the skin supposedly
feels completely renewed and downy soft.
Thus, according to the ads the ARGIRELINE Molecular Complex
integrated into the formula makes aging signs vanish. For
$30, I might consider the Anti-Aging and Beauty product,
since it would be easier for me to make this amount verses
paying hundreds or less for other products that claim to do
the same.
For around $90, you could purchase a 2-ounce pump bottle of
Vitamin C Ester. The product is known as Amine Complex Face
Lift with an AM action that contains DMAE and C Ester. The
product includes resourceful hydrator, which assists in
balancing the skin to its natural moisturizing level.
The Anti-Aging and Beauty product claims to aid in
humanizing the exterior of elasticity, while provide
radiance to the face. Its content including NTP Complex has
the ingredient known as DMAE, which supposedly enhances the
lines of the skin, including areas around the jaw.
It is recommended that the purchaser use sunscreens and
moisturizers as well as the solution. The product
recommends eye contact is avoided while pumping 1-2
applications and applying it to the neck and facial area.
The ingredients include Water, Urea, Tyrosine, DIMETHYL MEA
(DMAE), DISODIUM, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, ZINC SULFATE, and so
on. Other ingredients include TOCOTRIENOL, Sodium
HYALURONATE, PEG-100 STEARATE, and Sodium CARBOXYMETHL
BETAGLUCAN and so on.
I noticed one of the ingredients is Green Tea, which is a
great source for helping the skin. However, PROPYLENE
frightens me a bit since it is a flammable substance, which
should not be used on the skin in my opinion.
Thus, you can cross-reference for self, but PROPYLENE
GLYCOL is specifically employed in antifreeze and brake
fluids, which are very harmful chemicals.
As for the other ingredients, including ALLANTOIN may not
be harmful since it is utilized to treat infections and
wounds and might do something for acne problems and/or
splotches.
Still, you want to consider the harmful chemicals before
considering spending top dollar on anti-aging products.
DHEA otherwise known as DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE is a hormone
in the flesh and body that functions off adrenal and is a
predecessor of hormonal steroids, including estrogen and
testosterone.
Thus, if this DHEA starts to decline the body and skin
tends to advance to aging. Thus, Anti-Aging and Beauty
products with this ingredient and no other harmful
chemicals might be worth a go.
MELATONIN is another of the body’s natural hormones, which
is essential for slowing the aging process.
The hormonal production of MELATONIN is manufactured by the
gland known as pineal, which is found near below the head,
or brain. Anti-Aging and Beauty products with this
ingredient might be worth considering.
Commercialism and media has placed high emphasis on beauty,
thus nowadays everyone is trying to look like some
supermodel.
Contrary to beauty, millions of people are aging rapidly
nowadays, thus the emphasis on beauty is increasing.
The marketplace now has a surplus of Anti-Aging and Beauty
products available with all manufacturers and sellers
claiming one product works better than the other products
offered on the market. Famous people even have their own
line of products, including Victoria Principal.
Reclaim with ARGIRELINE is sold on the market, and the
producer or marketer is Victoria Principal. The Anti-Aging
and Beauty supposedly produces powerful actions, while
producing youthful skin in about one month.
The product claims to diminish wrinkles greatly, while
hydrating the skin in minutes. Furthermore, the product
RETEXTURIZES the skin while reducing moisture that is loss
due to age and environmental diminishing.
One of the better deals about this Anti-Aging and Beauty
product is that it cost less than many other Anti-Aging and
Beauty products cost, with the pricing around $30. The
product sellers’ claim that according to topical studies
around eighty-percent of users claimed the product
decreased their lines and wrinkles caused form aging,
squinting, laughing, and frowning.
The first step requires that you cleanse the face, and
apply the solution. According to the reports, a few blobs
of the deep-cleanser formula will remove filth and
griminess, while melting away make-up.
Thus, the process will start to tone the face area, while
readying the skin for the next steps. It is recommended
that the solution is massaged into the skin. The aroma is
of melon and after washing the skin, the skin supposedly
feels completely renewed and downy soft.
Thus, according to the ads the ARGIRELINE Molecular Complex
integrated into the formula makes aging signs vanish. For
$30, I might consider the Anti-Aging and Beauty product,
since it would be easier for me to make this amount verses
paying hundreds or less for other products that claim to do
the same.
For around $90, you could purchase a 2-ounce pump bottle of
Vitamin C Ester. The product is known as Amine Complex Face
Lift with an AM action that contains DMAE and C Ester. The
product includes resourceful hydrator, which assists in
balancing the skin to its natural moisturizing level.
The Anti-Aging and Beauty product claims to aid in
humanizing the exterior of elasticity, while provide
radiance to the face. Its content including NTP Complex has
the ingredient known as DMAE, which supposedly enhances the
lines of the skin, including areas around the jaw.
It is recommended that the purchaser use sunscreens and
moisturizers as well as the solution. The product
recommends eye contact is avoided while pumping 1-2
applications and applying it to the neck and facial area.
The ingredients include Water, Urea, Tyrosine, DIMETHYL MEA
(DMAE), DISODIUM, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, ZINC SULFATE, and so
on. Other ingredients include TOCOTRIENOL, Sodium
HYALURONATE, PEG-100 STEARATE, and Sodium CARBOXYMETHL
BETAGLUCAN and so on.
I noticed one of the ingredients is Green Tea, which is a
great source for helping the skin. However, PROPYLENE
frightens me a bit since it is a flammable substance, which
should not be used on the skin in my opinion.
Thus, you can cross-reference for self, but PROPYLENE
GLYCOL is specifically employed in antifreeze and brake
fluids, which are very harmful chemicals.
As for the other ingredients, including ALLANTOIN may not
be harmful since it is utilized to treat infections and
wounds and might do something for acne problems and/or
splotches.
Still, you want to consider the harmful chemicals before
considering spending top dollar on anti-aging products.

Gout A Disease of the Big Toe that can Cause Big Problems
Gout A Disease of the Big Toe that can Cause Big Problems
Gout is a form of arthritis caused by the accumulation of
uric acid in the joints. It is an extremely painful
disease.
In most cases, it affects only one joint, most commonly the
big toe.
Gout is characterized by sudden, excruciating pain,
swelling, redness, warmness and stiffness in the joint.
Low-grade fever may also be a symptom.
Gout sufferers will often experience intense pain whenever
the affected area is moved. In addition, the inflammation
of the swollen tissues around the joint also causes the
skin to be swollen, tender, and sore even if it is slightly
touched.
The act of draping a blanket over the area, for example,
would be very painful.
Gout usually affects the big toe, but can also attack other
joints. These joints include the ankle, heel, instep, knee,
wrist, elbow, fingers, and spine.
A diagnosis is generally made on a clinical basis, although
tests are often required to confirm the diagnosis of the
disease.
Blood tests commonly performed are full blood count,
electrolytes, renal function, and erythrocyte sedimentation
rate. They are used mainly to exclude other forms of
arthritis.
There are four distinct stages of gout. They are
asymptomatic, acute, intercritical, and chronic.
The first stage is asymptomatic hyperuricemia. In this
stage, the only symptom a person shows is elevated levels
of uric acid in their blood. This stage does not usually
require treatment.
Acute gout, or acute gouty arthritis, is the second stage.
In this stage, hyperuricemia has caused the deposit of uric
acid crystals in joint spaces. This leads to a sudden onset
of intense pain and swelling in the joints.
Attacks commonly occur at night and can be triggered by
stressful events, alcohol, drugs, or the presence of
another illness. In the beginning, they may last between
three to 10 days and can be months or years apart.
As the disease progresses, the attacks can last longer and
occur more frequently. The third stage is interval or
intercritical gout and is the period between acute attacks.
During this period, the sufferer does not have any symptoms
and experiences normal joint function. The final stage of
gout is chronic tophaceous gout.
It is the most disabling stage and usually develops over a
long period of time. In this stage, the disease has caused
permanent damage to the affected joints and sometimes to
the kidneys.
This stage can be avoided with proper treatment.
The first line of treatment for gout is pain relief.
Doctors often recommend drugs such as indometacin or other
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (or NSAIDs) such as
ibuprofen or Preparation H, or intra-articular
glucocorticoids, which are administered by a joint
injection.
If you want to learn more about gout and how it can be
treated, speak to your doctor.

Colds and Flu
As winter is now upon us it's the season of the colds and flu but can you tell if you a cold or are suffering from flu here is a few symptoms to look out for
COLDS AND FLU
How can you tell whether it is a heavy cold or the flu? Here is the difference:
Headache - prominent in flu, but rare in a cold.
Fever - frequent and sudden in flu; rare in a cold.
Fatigue - extreme in flu and can last 2-3 weeks; there is only mild fatigue with a cold.
General aches - common and often severe in flu; slight in a cold.
Runny nose - occasionally in flu; common with a cold.
Cough - common with flu and can become severe; only mild to moderate in a cold.
Sore throat - sometimes with flu; common with a cold.
CAUSES
The cause is a variety of viruses.
But somtimes the person has allowed himself to become run down so that the virus was able to take hold.
Some factors which lower the body's resistance to virus
infection are fatigue, overexposure to cold, recent or
present infections, allergic reactions, wrong eating, and inhalation of dust or gas, overeating, alcohol consumption.
The common cold is a pre disease and is the reaction the body has when fighting back and gaining control to bring everything back to normal like you would if you had just had a party everything needs cleaning up and thats what your body is doing
There is no one stop cure for a cold virus as it can change size and shape, making it hard to produce a suitable vaccine. There are more than a 100 different viruses which can cause colds.
Symptoms genraly last for 7 to14 days regardless of what you take for them.
The incubation period is very short about 1 to3 days, instead of 10 to 21 days for most viruses.
A cold can seems to suddenly appear out of nowhere. You get a tingling in the nose and throat, nasal mucus, and a scratchy throat; this is when you should take your self to bed and rest before the coughing, weakness, and fever start and allow your body to do it's house keeping.
Take vitamin C, zinc, and garlic and plenty of fluids hot lemon drinks try to avoid asprin as this can have side affects some herbal teas may help like rose hips, peppermint, chamomile, golden seal, slippery elm and ginger.
A hot bath with 5 or 6 drops of Eucalyptus oil is helpful to clear the head you can also put 5 or 6 drop of Eucalyptus oil in a cup of boiling water avoid burning yourself put a towel over your head and breath in the vapours to help clear sinus congestion.
Prevention is better than cure so eat and sleep properly exercise and try not to let your body get rundown also aviod sharing food and cutlery with someone that has a cold.

Alternative Medicine for Womens Health
Since women's health is such a huge topic, I have chosen to
concentrate on one aspect of women's health which continues
to be an issue.
There are over a hundred symptoms associated with PMS.
Unfortunately, because each woman is different, there is no
agreed upon cause or treatment for the effects of PMS
within the medical community.
What they do all agree on is that a regular menstrual cycle
is a sign of good health. Isn't that special? Doesn't help
to know you're healthy if you are in pain or having mood
swings that cause you to have to make the decision to stay
home for a day rather than risk the chance of having to
call your best friend for bail money.
Well, conventional medicine can offer pain pills, water
pills, and hormonal therapy, but alternatives to these
forms of comfort can be more relaxing and have fewer side
effects.
And while I for one am not going to "run with the wolves",
I would like to achieve some sort of balance between seeing
cramps as a medical "problem" and a "gift of mother earth."
Give me a break, I just want to not cry or punch out people
at the drop of a hat for a week out of each month. Let's
explore those options:
Alternative Medicine for Womens Health
Acupuncture relieves pain and stress, and can leave you
feeling so relaxed that you're feeling too good to punch
anyone out.
Same goes for massage, and your massage therapist can show
you self massage to do on your lower abdomen any time you
need to relax cramps. No medicine is involved, and both of
these alternative therapies are non-invasive.
Chinese medicinal herbs are used in concocting teas and
poultices for the relief of PMS symptoms. These include
Kava Kava Chai and ginseng teas.
The top recommended teas are made from Viburnum and help
with cramping, irritability, and swelling. Dandelion helps
with swollen breasts, muscle spasms, and acne.
Your herbalist can recommend the appropriate combination of
herbs for your individual symptoms, as well as bath soaks
and foot rubs.
Osteopathy is an alternative medicine that can help with
internal organ ailments and fight osteoporosis. The women's
health center at Oklahoma State University (founded by the
Osteopath society) sponsors the "Take Charge" program,
which sponsors health education and alternative therapy
forums for women across the country.
Chakra and crystal healing energy is used in a wide variety
of ways to increase blood flow which (ironically, if you
think about it) lessens headache and tension symptoms of
PMS.
This appears to work, but is a little touchy feely crystal
dolphin wacko for me; I prefer yoga and herbal teas,
pragmatic and to the point.
Although not considered alternative therapy, per se,
exercise is a great way to relieve symptoms and lessen
fatigue.
One form of exercise which could be considered alternative
is yoga. The slow stretching movements and low impact
cardio of yoga is very good for menstrual symptoms.
Hypnosis is fast becoming the alternative medicine of
choice for PMS sufferers. Hypnosis is geared toward finding
out the causes and conditions of symptoms, therefore
relieving the pain holistically, that is to say, removing
the root cause of irritability and stress.
While it is obviously hormonal in nature, the mood swings
of PMS can be brought under control with light hypnosis
which focuses on teaching the patient that the moodiness is
temporary, and not to be taken to heart.
Now I don't know about you, but I am much more likely to
believe a hypnotist when she says "It will be okay, you
will get through this, it is temporary," than I am to
believe my husband, who says" Are you on your period? That
explains it…"
Now you see why it's important to save up bail money if
you're not using Alternative Medicine for Womens Health.

Home Remedies for Teeth Whitening
Home Remedies for Teeth Whitening
There are a variety of home remedies suggested by people to
whiten your teeth, and with varying degrees of success.
Most of these home remedies for teeth whitening can help in
the short term, using ingredients you have at home, such as
baking soda, vinegar, lemon juice, and salt. If you are
careful, these can help you to keep your teeth looking
whiter.
Many teeth whitening processes involve rubbing your teeth
with abrasive materials, but you want to avoid rubbing them
too much, because if you rub off the top layer of your
teeth, the tooth enamel, your dentine layer will be
exposed.
This is harmful to your teeth as well as making your teeth
look greyish. Use caution and a soft bristle brush with
home-made teeth whitening attempts.
Here are a few home remedies for teeth whitening you could
try (not all at once!):
1. Lemon Juice (either from a bottle or from a lemon) mixed
with a bit of table salt. In a small cup, mix the cupful of
lemon juice with two to three very small spoonfuls of salt.
Dip your toothbrush in and gently rub. Rinse mouth with
water. Do not apply salt directly to the brush. Do this
once every second day for up to 5 times. After doing this,
brush your teeth with toothpaste – acids can actually cause
tooth staining if left on the teeth.
2. Try fruit! Rub a strawberry on your front teeth before
brushing your teeth with regular or whitening toothpaste.
3. Baking soda. Mix fresh baking soda with some cold water
and gently rub teeth with the mixture. Use the flat part of
your finger or a soft bristle toothbrush dipped into the
baking soda to apply the baking soda to your front teeth.
Do not rub vigorously or with a hard toothbrush. Let the
baking soda sit for a couple of minutes, rubbing gently.
Rinse mouth with clean water.
4. Or, try vinegar! Dip a soft toothbrush in vinegar and
brush gently. Avoid excessive vinegar on your gums, the
acid can make your gums feel unpleasant. Rinse mouth with
water after. To get between the teeth, try dipping your
floss in vinegar before flossing.
5. Make a paste of vinegar with baking soda. Mix vinegar
with baking soda and apply the paste to your front teeth
with your finger, rubbing gently using up and down motions.
Rinse mouth with water. While rinsing, force water between
teeth by closing teeth and pouring water into your mouth.
6. Some people try brushing or even rinsing their teeth
with hydrogen peroxide. This may whiten your teeth, but the
peroxide can damage your gums and the lining of your mouth.
Also, keep in mind that the concentration of hydrogen
peroxide in the bottles you can buy, and in the whitening
agents you can buy, is different. If you do choose to do
this, dab the peroxide on a tiny bit at a time with a
cotton swab, to prevent any peroxide from touching your
gums.
An important thing to remember with these home remedies for
teeth whitening methods is to be patient. It will take time
to remove the stains on the teeth, and it may take several
weeks to see results. Don’t forget to continue your normal
teeth and mouth cleaning regimen as well.

Anti Aging And BOTOX
Anti Aging And BOTOX
What is BOTOX? What purpose does it provide in anti-aging
solutions? Reading the reviews can help you to see what
BOTOX does in line of reducing wrinkles, lines, crowfeet
and other symptoms stemming from aging and environmental
causes.
One of the largest disadvantages of BOTOX is that most
people cannot afford the product, since it costs around
$300. One informer claimed that BOTOX is the
better-manufactured good that eliminates wrinkles, stopping
wrinkles from developing.
Thus, the product according to one informant is that it is
pricey, yet addictive. The person stated that better
results came from surgical BOTOX rather than visits to
parishioners of the skin and dermatologist.
The pros, the party proclaimed did show results but the
results lasted a short time, while surgical injections of
BOTOX did its job.
One party tried BOTOX and claimed the procedure was
excellent. The benefits of the injections produced youthful
and relaxing look. Thus, minor bruises showed after the
injections were completed.
Thus, the person sought out BOTOX to minimize crowfeet. The
problem with this procedure is that BOTOX treatments are
costly and the process is ongoing apparently, lasting up to
four months.
One person paid around $250 for the procedure; however,
another party paid $600. Big differences! The product for
one user worked excellently and the injections reduced the
lines dramatically.
Again, the person claims that the BOTOX treatments must
continue, since the setback is the anti-aging solutions
only works a few months. The party claimed that the
injections helped to minimize headaches and made the skin
more appealing. For $600, I’d better look darn good when I
walk out of the D’s office.
Most of the reviews on BOTOX injections, excluding the
proclaimed anti-aging solutions broadcasted on the
marketplace that claims to work like the original BOTOX.
The solution for one individual worked wonders and the
wrinkles were gone.
The party claimed the treatments if conducted by a
professional knowing what the deal is, thus the pain is
less severe. From what I am seeing at this point, BOTOX is
an ongoing, expensive treatment that works temporarily and
lines begin to develop again.
Thus, stopping the procedures makes me wonder what will
occur. However, one party claimed the deepness of lines
would start to diminish with only mild lines reoccurring.
Another party complained of slight discomforts, but nothing
really to worry over.
The person claimed that several injections occurred
throughout the process, and after a couple of days you will
notice visible signs of wrinkle reduction, yet after a few
months, again, you will need another hit of BOTOX.
According to another reviewer, the cost per year of BOTOX
can range up to $1600. Facelifts can cost ten grand;
therefore, the price of BOTOX is cheaper than plastic
surgery. The product gave the same affect according to the
party narrating the affects of BOTOX.
Amazingly, contradicting the person claiming it slowed the
headaches; another party claims the drawbacks of BOTOX
treatments are bruising and headaches.
The headaches after repeated usage evaporated however.
Furthermore, the deep lines began evaporating after usage.
For $500, one party claimed BOTOX eliminated the wrinkles
and crowfeet, especially near the forehead. The process
hurt slightly.
Furthermore, this party claimed the process worked longer
after a couple of injections, and the person only visit’s
the doctor twice each year to receive BOTOX injections.
Another party at a very young age employed BOTOX as a
solution for removing frown lines. The product did wonders
for the person and the source claims that revisits will
continue, and that the treatment lasts up to five months.
Overall, everyone that has tried the BOTOX anti-aging
solution has claimed the lines have vanished, or else when
reappearing the lines is minimal.
To date, this is the only product I’ve heard all positive
reports. Other anti-aging solutions, such as creams,
lotions, serums, pads, and so on good and bad reports come
from the users.
Therefore, when considering anti-aging products consider
BOTOX if you can afford the procedures and bear a bit of
pain from the injections.
I’d prefer a few shots of whiskey before getting my BOTOX
injections

What Is Acne
What Is Acne
If you are one of the thousands that will purchase acne
treatment products this year, before you invest your money,
you need to know several things about what is happening to
your face, your chest and your body.
Often, individuals blame the acne on their body on puberty.
But, it can be caused by many more things as well. For
some, it is just this, puberty.
For others there are other conditions that may be causing
the acne to appear. If you take the time to understand why
you have acne, you are likely to learn how you can treat
your acne.
Acne is an infection on your skin. Normally, it happens
because bacteria get into your pores where it breeds. Once
the skin becomes irritated by this, it will then react in
the form of sores. This is the acne that you see on your
face.
Acne is generally caused by the occurrence of the bacteria
on your face and increased amounts of oils on the face
which make it a welcoming place for bacteria to go and
hide.
* These two things are generally the case for most types of
acne. But, there are different things that cause them to
happen. This is what you need to learn in order to know how
to treat your bacteria.
The oils that are being secreted at high levels may be due
to hormone imbalances that are caused by such things as
puberty, stress, health issues and other conditions.
* Bacteria can get onto the face from a poor level of
keeping your face and your skin properly cleaned.
* Bacteria can feed on the dead skin cells that are not
properly exfoliated away, making this a more likely target
for growth.
* Eating a poor diet can help to encourage oily skins as
well as lowers the body’s ability to fight off the
infections that it is facing.
To learn what is causing your acne problems, you should
carefully think about what is happening in your life and
improve anything that you may see as an obvious reason why
your body may be facing these factors.
In most cases, you will need to seek out the help of your
family doctor or a dermatologist when it comes to
determining your body’s reasons for over producing oil
secretion in your skin.
This can be done through a blood screening or in some cases
your doctor may not need to do anything to realize that
this problem needs to be addressed.
These are the first steps in getting rid of your acne.

The Stress of Death
The Stress of Death
You can recall clearly the day your father took you for your first bicycle ride.
It was a crisp autumn day and the sun was shining on your brand new Huffy.You remember his hand gently guiding your bike along the road that ran by your apartment building. You even recall his smile as you began steering your bike on your own.
The memory lingers with you as you begin to make preparations for your father’s burial. He had had a long illness cancer and you knew that the end would be coming soon.Yet, you now think that nothing could have prepared you for the day when he actually died.
While you anticipated a period of mourning, you failed to realize that you would encounter a great deal of stress as a result of his death.You may be surprised even shocked by the amount of stress you feel.
We seldom associate the stress of death, yet the death of a loved one is one of the most stressful events that can happen in our lives. Whether it is the death of a parent, a spouse, a child, a sibling, or a beloved friend, death makes us anxious not only about our loss, but about our own mortality.
The most stressful aspect of death may be the fear of the unknown you may not know what to expect next, and you may wonder how you will handle the next obstacle that comes your way.
The most important thing you can do to deal with death related stress is to recognize it for what it is. Realize that it is perfectly natural for you to feel worried and anxious during this difficult time.Try to give yourself some time to pause and reflect. Don’t feel as if you have to "hurry up and get over" the death.
Allowing yourself an opportunity to grieve should help to reduce the stress of death and make you a healthier person, emotionally speaking.One thing you can do to help you deal with the stress of death is to do something positive to remember your loved one by. In other words, consider planting a tree, making a contribution to your loved one’s favorite charity, or volunteering your time at the nursing home that cared for your loved one in his or her final days.
Discovering that life still offers pleasant possibilities gives you hope and can help you to deal with your stress more effectively.Give considerable thought to how your loved one would want you to carry on after his or her death.Chances are great that your father, mother, husband, or brother would not want you sulking in the corner for the rest of your life.
Give yourself permission to go on with life. As a result, you should feel less stress and you should enjoy life more.Another effective stress reducing technique is to commit your thoughts to paper. Writing can be quite therapeutic and can help you gain perspective on your situation. The process of writing can improve your problem solving skills, making you better able to cope with your situation.
Also, give yourself time to reread your journal entries. You might be amazed at how much you’ve grown, emotionally speaking, over a short period of time.If the stress of death becomes overwhelming, by all means seek the help of a professional.
A counselor can help you to sort out your feelings and recommend coping techniques. You might find it quite liberating to talk to another individual about everything you’re feeling inside.In some cases, you might also want to consult with a psychiatrist to see if there is some medication you can take that will help you deal with death related anxiety.
All of us will experience the death of someone close to us at some time in our lives. Therefore, we can expect to deal with the stress of losing someone we love.
However, it’s good to know that there are positive things we can do to help us deal more effectively with the stress of death.While, in a certain sense, we may never get over a loved one’s death, we can learn to cope with the loss.We may even learn to smile again.

Fitness and Exercise Advice
Fitness and Exercise Advice
Fitness and exercise plays a big part in health and beauty
with good fitness and exercise comes good health so here's
some advice that I hope will help you.
According to few insulin levels play the largest role in
losing weight. Other experts determine that our body type
is the key to finding the proper exercises and diet plans
that work with the body. To find out your body type you
will need to talk to your doctor, or else visit the World
Wide Net to find answers to your questions. Other details
are available over the Internet that can help you decide on
which diet is best for you, as well as which exercises
works best with your body.
To achieve a healthier status and maintain weight diet must
combine with exercise, since one without the other will not
work. Combining healthy provisions with correct exercises
can bring you good health and physical fitness, which will
enhance your quality of life. It will also help you keep
your body’s zone to a level.
The body and mind is complicated, however both work
together to produce results. Many experts, including
theorists, doctors, scientist, and philosophers are
continuing to find answers to the body’s functions.
Some of the confusion comes when people diet, exercise and
take care of them self, yet they still gain weight. Barry
Sears wrote a compelling book titled A Week in the Zone,
which produced some outstanding advice. Some of the
information in the book helps us to decide on exercises and
diets that suit us best, since insulin plays a large part
in healthier living. The author lets us know that the
hormones consequence of intakes of carbohydrates and
caloric differ from the hormones that produce protein and
calories. , he continues letting us know that the effects
of hormones that produce fats and calories too differ in
the direction of health. (p. 3)
The author brings us to see that a balance is needed, yet
the balance is factored by the different hormonal levels.
Thus, eating healthy, giving the body proper fluids and
exercising is the only answer to living a productive and
quality lifestyle.
One of the biggest setbacks that people adhere to is making
excuses to avoid dieting and exercise. Countless of people
find it easier said than done to stick with diet and
exercise programs that facilitates them to remain healthy
while maintaining weight.
One of the largest reasons is that most people do not
understand their body and its type, or have difficulty
adhering to a schedule. One of the largest reasons why this
happens is that many people find it difficult to plan, set
goals that work, and find solutions that help the person
maintain a schedule. The threesome is the ultimate tools
for working toward good health and fitness. If you are
uncertain of the types of exercises, this too can hold you
back. Walking up and down the stairs is an aerobic
exercise. Mowing the lawn is another type of exercise.
Anytime the body is in motion, producing actions it is
exercising. Lifting 12’ ounces of beer is not an exercise.
Alcohol if overused will affect the body and mind
dramatically.
Other forms of exercise are merely walking to the store
instead of driving your car, especially if the store is
down the road. If you find it, difficult getting started
with exercise makes effort to ask a friend or family member
to join you. Otherwise, possibly at your workplace a team
of people is joining a gym to better their health, maybe
you can go with them. If you have a dog, dogs enjoy
walking, therefore put your feet in motion and make your
dog happy. Children also enjoy walking with parents,
therefore spend time with your children and exercise while
doing so.
Therefore, if you have intricacy with setting goals,
planning, or sticking to a schedule, begin by using the
stairs in place of an elevator at what time you visit your
doctor, or other appointments. In addition, you could
scythe the lawn in place of paying the fellow citizen down
the street to do the work for you. Beginning exercise is by
no means easy, but you have to start somewhere to reach a
healthier status!

What Is Aromatherapy?
You may have heard quite a bit about aromatherapy in the
past. You are sure to have seen the many benefits that it

improve your mood or even to help cure you of an ailment
that you are feeling.
If you have not had the opportunity to use aromatherapy in
the past, you should give it a try. If nothing else, you
will love the smells and the way that they enlighten the
environment you are living in. In fact, that in itself is
enough to provide that aromatherapy is a great tool to use.
Learning what aromatherapy is and how it works is something
that you will want to know though. It is considered a
complementary as well as an alternative form of medicine.
In that, it is not said to be the cure all for every
ailment under the sun and you should never stop using your
current treatments for serious conditions. Yet, many people
have found this treatment to help make their lives just a
touch better all around.
Aromatherapy uses essential oils to make these things
happen. Essential oils are concentrated liquid that comes
from a plant. They are compounds that are very strong, in
their purest of forms. They are taken from a plant through
distillation, through expression or through solvent
extraction.
They are used throughout your home as it is in your
perfumes in your incense as well as in the foods that you
eat. This product from a plant is said to provide you with
a trigger for your health too. For example, the smell of a
specific fragrance may help you to trigger relaxation.
Yet, there is much more to aromatherapy than just this. For
example, the term was created in 1920 by a man named Rene
Maurice Gattefosse.
He was researching how essential oils can help in the
healing process. He began this study in part because of an
accident in which he caught his arm on fire and
accidentally poured lavender oil onto it.
The wounds healed quickly, more so than normal and they did
not leave a scar. Since then, the exploration of how
essential oils work in healing us, both emotionally and
physically has been a conquest for many.
You may have heard quite a bit about aromatherapy in the
past. You are sure to have seen the many benefits that it
has offered, but have not really thought about it either.
Aromatherapy is a method of using the right products to
create a scent that is said to better your thoughts,
improve your mood or even to help cure you of an ailment
that you are feeling.
If you have not had the opportunity to use aromatherapy in
the past, you should give it a try. If nothing else, you
will love the smells and the way that they enlighten the
environment you are living in. In fact, that in itself is
enough to provide that aromatherapy is a great tool to use.

Hair Loss Myths
Hair Loss Myths
Believe it or not, (yes, you probably do) there are many
hair loss myths out there. Just like any other type of
medical condition or any thing else that people just do not
understand, there are many things that people just do not
know about hair loss. And, there are some very amusing
types of myths out there. Here are some.
Why It Happens:
Many individuals think that the fact that they are losing
their hair has something to do with their intelligence,
their social status, their relation with one’s virility,
their job, their wealth and many other things. The fact is,
though, that hair loss is something that many people face
each and every day and it has nothing to do with any of
these things. It can be hereditary and it can be caused by
medical conditions, but surely it is not caused by how much
money you have in the bank!
If I Use My Head Too Much:
In some cultures, it is believed that an individual that
uses their brain too much or those that have had head
injuries may be at risk for baldness. This myth is one that
is thought to have been founded because the brain is
located inside the head and therefore they are directly
related. Of course, this is not true. This is even evident
in many movies where the ‘dumb’ one is bald.
Bald Men Are More Sexually Active:
While there is no real way of even knowing if this is true,
it is probably not the determining factor in if they have
hair or not. Hair loss does not have anything to do with
the sexual activity of an individual. The myth probably
comes from the fact that in some individuals, the removal
of androgens through castration can prevent baldness and
may even stop it from progressing further than it has.
There are many myths about hair loss.
If you are unsure about the facts of hair loss, you should
talk to your doctor before doing anything else. You will
want to know what is causing your particular hair loss. It
could be a medication that you are taking, a lack of
balanced hormones within your body, or it could even be a
hereditary condition that you are facing. The fact remains
that if you are one of the many that will face baldness or
hair loss this year, you may find a lot of myths along the
way to success.
