			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Through its never-ending endeavor to create &#8220;mental illnesses&#8221; outside of each and every human activity, the psychiatric industry is now shoving the most absurd ailment they&#8217;ve designed yet: Healthy eating problem. That is serious: If you completely focus on choosing balanced food items, you&#8217;re &#8220;mentally incapacitated&#8221; and almost certainly need some type of chemical healing that involves ultra powerful psychotropic drugs. Attitudes obsessed with healthy eating is often an indication of serious mental health problem and proceeds to say this &#8220;illness&#8221; is known as orthorexia nervosa &#8212; which can be basically just Latin for &#8220;nervous about healthy eating.&#8221;</p>
<p>Nonetheless they cannot just call it &#8220;nervous healthy eating illness&#8221; considering that does not sound like they realize exactly what they are babbling about. Hence they translate it into Greek where it sounds wise (even when it isn&#8217;t). Which is where most disorder names are derived from: Health professionals just express the indicators they find out with a name like osteoporosis (this means &#8220;bone fragments with pockets in them&#8221;). Getting back to this fabricated &#8220;orthorexia&#8221; condition, most &#8220;specialists&#8221; moves on to report, &#8220;Orthorexics generally have rigorous rules around eating. Neglecting to consume sugar, sodium, coffee, alcohol, wheat or grain, gluten, yeast, sot, corn and dairy products is simply just the start of their diet limits. Any food items that have touched inorganic sprays, weed killers or have artificial chemicals are also out.&#8221;</p>
<p>But hold up. So striving to avoid chemical compounds, dairy, soy and sugar now would make you a mentally disabled individual? Yep. As outlined by these pros. If you really take specific care in avoiding inorganic sprays, weed killers and genetically modified ingredients like soya and glucose, there is some thing completely wrong with you. However did you realize that munchin on unhealthy food is thought to be &#8220;regular?&#8221; If you eat processed junk food laced with artificial chemicals, that is okay with them. The mental health are the ones who choose organically produced, natural foods, evidently.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s &#8220;regular&#8221; when it comes to food? Informed you this was on its way. Years ago, folks cautioned NaturalNews viewers that an endeavor might soon be under way to limit the consumption of broccoli considering its anti-cancer phytonutrients. This mental health strike on health-conscious customers is part of that aim. It&#8217;s an attempt to marginalize healthful eaters by indicating them to be mentally unstable and for that reason make a case for carting them off to mental hospitals where they will be inserted with psychiatric drug treatments and provided common food that&#8217;s all refined, useless and packed with poisonous substances.These authorities even go to the idiotic extreme of saying, &#8220;The obsession about which foods are &#8220;excellent&#8221; and which are &#8220;poor&#8221; indicates orthorexics can end up malnourished.&#8221;</p>
<p>Adhere to the non-logic on this, if you&#8217;ll be able to: Consuming &#8220;good&#8221; meals will result in malnutrition! Eating bad food, I assume, is assumed to give all the nutrients you need. That&#8217;s about as ridiculous an argument on nutrition as people have ever read. No surprise people are so diseased nowadays: The mainstream media is showing them that consuming health food is a mental disorder that will cause malnutrition!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends not applying any bug repellents on a baby who is not even 2 months old.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends not applying any bug repellents on a baby who is not even 2 months old. Items created using DEET (N, N-diethyl-meta-toluamide) or picaridin are both endorsed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for adults and young children 2 months of age and even older. (The CDC has also suggested oil of lemon eucalyptus, but not for kids younger than the age of 3.)</p>
<p>That is certainly equally astonishing and terrible. A good number of father and mother who inquires about that problem might by no means even think of using Deet on their baby, infants, toddlers, children or by themselves if they realized how truly harmful it is. While the Physician and the AAP notify you that it is safe, it is time to seek a new doctor and understand who is being funded by major pharma &amp; chemical businesses. How can any medical doctor or affiliation caring for infants imply that Deet is certainly not a very harmful chemical? Let us take a look at the recommendations down below and figure out on your very own.</p>
<p>You should not put repellent on your baby&#8217;s palms, simply because they&#8217;ll inevitably find their way into his mouth. Wash off the insect repellent when you come inside, and launder your baby&#8217;s garments right away. Do not apply insect repellents in surrounded places or near foods. Assuming your infant acquires any type of allergy while wearing the repellent, wash it off and call a physician promptly. Therefore, if you shouldn&#8217;t apply it on the baby&#8217;s skin, ought to quickly rinse the clothes you sprayed it on, you need to use modestly, do not put it on hands for the reason that anything tends to make its way to the infant&#8217;s mouth, don&#8217;t spray inside or close to food, does not that sound like safe practices that connect to toxicity?</p>
<p>The most repeatedly recorded signs or symptoms of DEET poisoning in children are sleepiness, severe headaches, tremors, involuntary movements, seizures, and withdrawal leading to convulsions. If I were a mom, I wouldn&#8217;t take that opportunity. One more advice that we observed on these baby websites was almost humorous enough. This is one case: &#8220;Dressing your infant in light-colored clothes that covers as much skin as you possibly can will help protect him from insect pests.</p>
<p>Prevent vibrant colors or flowery prints.&#8221; So, in the summer season, dress your baby in dull, full length apparel? I think not. Rather, let your youngster be cool &amp; cozy in the most current style and use non-toxic, valuable insect repellent. Keep the pests and the chemical substances away for sure!Try to remember that organic insect repellent possibilities are out there and have become significantly more successful. Some of them ought to be reapplied each and every twenty minutes or so, while others last up to 12 hours. Constantly read the content label, but for the most part, you can correctly use on skin, apparel, furnishings, etc. to repel insects. A few are even so efficient they kill bugs on contact.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Here are 4 things to do if you are diagnosed with diabetes]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are 4 things to do if you are diagnosed with diabetes</p>
<p>Diabetes, when properly controlled is a disease that is liveable with. There is no cure, however, but it is perfectly possible to live a near normal life, albeit with some changes.</p>
<p>It can be quite a shock to discover you have type 2 diabetes (or type 1 for that matter). Below are a few small pointers to make your life a little easier, and to make you feel less alone.</p>
<p>Commit yourself to you.</p>
<p>One of the problems with diabetes is that with the correct medication and monitoring, you are almost left to yourself. It&#8217;s not a disease that keeps you in hospital until you recover. You have it for life. The fact that medicine is self administered and blood glucose levels self monitored means that contact with your doctor is kept to a minimum. In the early days, this can be a concern. So what you need to do, is put yourself at the centre of your concern. Be careful not to marginalize others, and don&#8217;t become self-absorbed, but the fact is there is a lot of information available and you need to explore it and discover how best to look after yourself.</p>
<p>Take charge of yourself.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t become a robot, automatically taking medication and leaving it at that. Yes, your medical team will give you the tablets etc that you need, but you must stay involved. For example, taking your blood sugar level at certain times during the day is good, but try and record it too. This way you will see how different foods etc. affect your sugars etc. Too high or low is uncomfortable, and in time you will start to recognise the feelings (drowsiness etc.) that relate to different levels of blood sugars. But it is far easier to maintain a written record as that way you can chart your progress towards stability. It takes willpower, so be the boss of you!</p>
<p>Set up your family as a team.</p>
<p>Be careful not to appear too hard done by! However, whilst it&#8217;s easy to turn into a &#8220;diabetic bore&#8221;, and get on everyone&#8217;s nerves as you demand special treatment, it is true that your diet will probably have to change. Most of us with diabetes were overwieght when we were diagnosed. So you need to involve your family or those you live with. But be careful, don&#8217;t come across as demanding, just quietly explain what you need and how they can help. Those who love you will want to help, but beware &#8211; it&#8217;s often those closest to us on whom we take out our anger!</p>
<p>Get a professional team.</p>
<p>You probably have a medical team, who individually, in this target driven world, are under huge pressure, and simply cannot spend the sort of time with you that you would like. I guess the impotant thing here is to be glad that you don&#8217;t have to spend all your time in hospital! However, your health care professionals are there to help you. Never be afraid to pick up the phone if you have doubts or anxieties. Get to know them, treat them with respect, and you will have a solid team behind you.</p>
<p>Perhaps you can see, that although it may often seem like you are rather alone in this, talking to and handling those around you properly can provide a wide ranging support network, and in so doing, make you feel reassured and in control.</p>
<p>Toby has been copingwith type 2 diabetes for nearly 2 years now but is determined to enjoy an almost normal life.

		<description><![CDATA[I'm Sure you've heard doctors say it before, "I'm sorry there's nothing we can do ...you have arthritis." If not for yourself than maybe for someone you know who has it. A degenerative joint disease called osteoarthritis is one of the oldest and most common types of arthritis. It is the breakdown of the joint's cartilage; the part of the joint that cushions the ends of bones. When the joint cartilage breaks down it causes bones to rub together, causing pain and loss of movement. This disease mostly affects middle-aged and older people. Osteoarthritis can cause mild or severe pain in the affected area. It affects hands and joints that bear weight such as knees, hips, feet and the back.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m Sure you&#8217;ve heard doctors say it before, &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry there&#8217;s nothing we can do &#8230;you have arthritis.&#8221; If not for yourself than maybe for someone you know who has it. A degenerative joint disease called osteoarthritis is one of the oldest and most common types of arthritis. It is the breakdown of the joint&#8217;s cartilage; the part of the joint that cushions the ends of bones. When the joint cartilage breaks down it causes bones to rub together, causing pain and loss of movement. This disease mostly affects middle-aged and older people. Osteoarthritis can cause mild or severe pain in the affected area. It affects hands and joints that bear weight such as knees, hips, feet and the back.</p>
<p>There are many factors that can cause osteoarthritis, and although age is a risk factor, research has shown that osteoarthritis is not an inevitable part of aging! There are many causes including obesity, joint injuries and genetics. As a person ages, these defects may cause early cartilage breakdown in the joint which could cause inflammation, a release of enzymes, and more cartilage damage. What if I told you arthritis has a reasonable explanation most doctors and scientists have completely overlooked?  What if I told you with this knowledge, it may be possible to slow down the progression of arthritis and ease the pain? And what if I told you I have scientific proof to back it up? Would you be interested? </p>
<p>If you&#8217;re not interested yet after you read these chilling statistics, I&#8217;m sure you will be. Osteoarthritis affects an estimated 20.7 million Americans. They are mostly after age 45. Eighty percent of people with osteoarthritis report some form of limitation in movement or activities.  Knee osteoarthritis can be as disabling as any cardiovascular disease except stroke. Women are more commonly affected than men. Osteoarthritis is responsible for more than 7 million physician visits per year. As many as half the people who have osteoarthritis do not know what type of arthritis they have and cannot make informed decisions about their care because treatment options vary among the more than 100 forms of arthritis.  Musculoskeletal conditions such as osteoarthritis cost the U.S. economy nearly $65 billion per year in direct expenses and lost wages and production. </p>
<p>Enough of all the boring stuff. Let&#8217;s talk about an actual cause of osteoarthritis and a logical solution. First let me ask you a simple question: What happens to the wheels on your automobile if the front end is out of alignment? They wear out of course.  And they not only wear out, they wear out faster than they would if the front end was in correct alignment. </p>
<p>So what do you do when the front end of your automobile is out of alignment? You fix it or your mechanic lines it up. As soon as this is done, the abnormal stress on your tires is stopped and your tires stop wearing out abnormally. The same is true with your spinal column and the other joints of your body. The delicate joints in your spinal column can misalign causing them to either move unnaturally or get &#8220;stuck&#8221; and not move at all. Either way, this can cause abnormal stress and strain or just like the tires on your car when the front end is out of alignment your joints wear out. This is osteoarthritis or degenerative arthritis and can lead to lot of pain and suffering.</p>
<p>There was a doctor that did extensive arthritis research and found that when he caused a joint to not work right, microscopic damage was detected within 24 hours. PERMANENT degenerative changes took place within 3 weeks! This means that when your joints misalign and get &#8220;stuck,&#8221; arthritic changes begin to occur almost immediately and permanent. IRRIVERSABLE damage may be present within just 3 weeks. So how Do You Fix This Problem?</p>
<p>Simple. Take a look at what you did when the front end of your car was out of alignment. You went to someone who specializes in detecting and correcting misaligned front ends on cars. Know this: Your mechanic didn&#8217;t put something in your gas tank or oil to try to &#8220;chemically&#8221; realign your wheels. No. That wouldn&#8217;t make sense. He simply realigned the wheels. Listen, the same is true with your body. What makes you think taking a drug or rubbing on a lotion will realign your joints? It won&#8217;t. Sure, powerful painkillers may mask the problem for a while&#8230;but&#8230;what happens when they wear off? </p>
<p>If you have misaligned joints, they will continue to degenerate and&#8230; Chiropractic Helps Align Misaligned Joints! In Your Hands, Knees, Ankles, Feet, Neck, Low Back, &amp; You&#8217;re Entire Spinal Column! It makes your joints properly function; you will live a pain free life.</p>
<p>Doesn&#8217;t it make better sense that routine chiropractic care will also slow down and possibly halt much of the degenerative process and arthritis? Don&#8217;t Wait Until You Have Joint Pain.  Seek chiropractic care before it happens! And don&#8217;t forget, if you ever have any questions or concerns about your health, talk to us. Contact us with your, questions. We&#8217;re here to help, and don&#8217;t enjoy anything more than participating in your life long good health! It may be the best decision you ever make.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Genital Herpes is something you may not discuss with your friends, however, it is a viral infection that is spreading very fast, with about one million new cases per year. In the US it is estimated that fifty million people are infected with genital herpes, making it a lot more common than most know it to be.</p>
<p>Receiving the diagnosis of genital herpes can be emotionally challenging with emotions of shame and isolation. And how does one date when having herpes?</p>
<p>The statistics show that if you are diagnosed with herpes, or if you think you may be, you have a lot of company. Take a look at these statistics:</p>
<p>In the United States about 20% of the adult population are infected with genital herpes. Somewhere around 50 million Americans. Breaking the statistics down, the rate for women is about one in four, and for men it is one in five.</p>
<p>Genital herpes is more prevalent than all other viral sexually transmitted diseases put together. Since a very low number, around 20 percent, know that they are infected it means that many millions are inadvertently infecting their partners with herpes.</p>
<p>Combining the fact that most do not know that they are infected, with another fact, that the disease can be transmitted even in the absence of symptoms, and it is easy to see how it can spread so rapidly.</p>
<p>Once the initial episode has passed, not everyone will ever have an outbreak again. For those infected with HSV-2, about 80% will have additional outbreaks, and those infected with the HSV-1 will have a 50% risk of having additional episodes. Typically, the number of outbreaks is about 4-5 per year.</p>
<p>While getting the diagnosis of genital herpes can be distressing, it is important to get a proper diagnosis which involve the proper blood tests by a medical practitioner.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is not overly difficult to kill ringworm though it will take some time. Ringworm is very easy to catch as it is caused by a type of fungus and anyone as well as pets can develop ringworm. This fungus lives on the top layer of the skin and on hair and will develop into a rash that looks like a ring or is very itchy and red.</p>
<p>With proper treatment you can completely kill ringworm in about 4 weeks. You do not need prescription medication as most over the counter creams and home remedies are very effective. If you are not sure that you have ringworm schedule a visit with your doctor as they will be able to let you know what the cause of your rash is.</p>
<p>Anti fungal cream is the best way to get rid of ringworm. The best types of choose are those that are used for athlete&#8217;s foot as the fungus that causes athlete&#8217;s foot is very similar to the fungus that causes ringworm. It is necessary to apply this cream several times during the day and keep the area covered up so that the cream does not rub off. It is a good idea to keep the cream with you so you can apply when necessary. The best creams to use include Desiten, Larnisil, Lotrimin and Nizoral.</p>
<p>There are also a few home remedies that many people have found to be successful. Garlic has strong antifungal properties and you can apply a mixture of crushed garlic with olive oil to the effective area. This should be applied 3 times a day. Garlic is also very successful with bacterial and yeast infections.</p>
<p>Many essential oils have anti fungal properties and these oils can be applied directly, diluted or used in a bath to treat ringworm. Make sure you research each oil first as some can cause irritation when used without any dilution. Lavender oil, tea tree oil and oregano oil are all good for treating ringworm.</p>
<p>Apple cider vinegar can also help as the vinegar will change the environment of the fungus so it will not like to grow. Apple cider vinegar can be quite strong so you can dilute it in a bath or soak a piece of cloth in the vinegar and apply this throughout the day.</p>
<p>You can use many other herbs to treat ringworm though they will need to be mixed into a paste. Some effective options include the juice of holy basil, raw papaya, turmeric and honey paste, mustard seed paste, butea seed and lime juice past and more. These herbs are very flavorful and it is this spiciness compounds that tend to kill the fungus.</p>
<p>Whether you use <noindex><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.qbased.com/Ringworm-Home-Remedies-s/159.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" >ringworm home remedies</a></noindex> such as garlic or <noindex><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.qbased.com/ringworm-treatment-s/34.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" >kill ringworm</a></noindex> with a top anti-fungal cream, it is important that you catch it as soon as possible. The condition is contagious, so you should control it for comfort and health reasons.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Medical doctors hold one of the oldest professions in the world. Physicians date back to ancient times and are found in every culture all over the world. They core responsibility is centered on maintaining the health of healthy individuals or restoring the health of sick individuals. With their special education and training, they have the ability to diagnose a particular ailment or illness then provide medical treatment. They are vital to physical maintenance of our society.</p>
<p>Physicians go by many different names. Depending on where you are in the world, they are termed differently. In Canada and the United states doctors are normally called physicians of Medical Doctors. If a doctor has a certain specialty, then they are known by that specialty.</p>
<p>The first recorded physicians were found in ancient Egypt. Medical schools were established in several ancient civilizations. Individuals spent many years understanding the body and various illnesses and how to treat them. Surgeons also date back to ancient times. Surgeries on the heart and brain were routinely performed.</p>
<p>It takes a high level of academic training to receive a medical degree. But you do not have to be a medical doctor to receive the doctor title. There are academic doctorates for scientists, teachers, philosophers and various other disciplines. Medical physicians are distinguished by the title MD.</p>
<p>In the Americas, the first official medical program of study was established in the mid 1700&#8217;s in Pennsylvania. Many physicians from Scotland and England came to the states and taught advanced medical studies. Upon completion of their studies, medical students earned what was called the Bachelor of Medicine. It is now called a Medical Doctorate or MD.</p>
<p>Physicians are expected to do business and operate within their profession on a high moral code. They even have to recite an oath promising to care for others in a certain manner. Many people believe that physicians should be walking examples to society at large. When it comes to their own heath, they should be positive role models. So many believe that doctors should not smoke. With all of the dangers associated with smoking, a doctor that smokes is considered a contradiction.</p>
<p>Obtaining a medical degree is an arduous process. It takes lots of schooling and many hours of clinical practice. Admissions into medical school is extremely difficult. Many apply but only a few gain acceptance, especially to the top tier medical schools. Before you can get into medical school you must first obtain an undergraduate degree. You will need stellar grades in your undergraduate degree. Once you have your degree you can move on to your advanced degree program in medical school. You have to pass the MCAT with high grades to stand a chance of being accepted into a top school.</p>
<p>After passing all of the required course work and exams in medical school, students then move on the their qualifying licensing. There are certain credentials required to practice medicine. New <noindex><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.canpages.ca/business/BC/duncan/physicians-and-surgeons/667-623600.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" >doctors</a></noindex> must do a certain amount of clinical hours and pass several exams. Then there is a required residency program new <noindex><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.canpages.ca/page/ON/brampton/heartlake-sports-medicine-and-orthopedic-clinic/1409728.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" >physicians</a></noindex> must fulfill. Those that are choosing a particular specialty will have additional training and qualifying exams.</p>
<p>When an individual is ill they should go and consult a <noindex><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.canpages.ca/business/AB/calgary/physicians-and-surgeons-psychiatry/91-623650.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" >physician</a></noindex>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Facial hyperhidrosis is in general thought of as a condition with genetic roots, it has been found that an external impulse might also be responsible. Therefore while in general the reasons for facial hyperhidrosis are genetic, other reasons are not to be completely excluded. This condition typically becomes obvious during adolescence.</p>
<p>Unfortunately , facial hyperhidrosis isn&#8217;t a treatable condition. Don&#8217;t lose hope, though. While it can&#8217;t be cured totally, there is certainly the chance of controlling it. Broadly speaking, the condition may be controlled either by surgical or non-surgical techniques. The surgical way is maybe better to be used as a last resort, as it may open the door to other problems.</p>
<p>Maybe the commonest non invasive methodology is using prescription antiperspirants that may be acquired over a counter. One or two antiperspirants that are available in the market include Drysol aluminum chloride mixed with ethyl alcohol and adage which is stronger than Drysol. This strategy has been revealed to be fairly effective against this condition.</p>
<p>Tropical antiperspirants like those discussed above need to be left on one&#8217;s skin for six to eight hours. It&#8217;s very important to remember to keep your skin utterly dry before applying them, because or you might suffer acute skin irritation. Also keep in mind that applying the antiperspirant at night and washing it off in the morning causes daytime sweating to set in.</p>
<p>Physicians nowadays are exploring another avenue of treatment, specifically Botox injections. These injections have just proved themselves with their achievement in the treating of underarm sweating. However , this technique also has its bad points. For a start, Botox has still not yet been approved for treating any other sort of hyperhidrosis, and to the method is unpleasant and quite costly too.</p>
<p>Other systems of controlling facial hyperhidrosis without surgery have also shown guarantee in recent years. Many of these are natural treatments that are being steadily discovered and unduly used to treat this condition.</p>
<p>So don&#8217;t lose hope if you happen to suffer from this condition. Several options exist and it would be a great idea to search up on some of many resources. Reading, exploring and trying out new things is the key to finding an answer to your problem of facial hyperhidrosis.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Therapeutic use of essential oils is beginning to be recognized in the United States as a valid modality for treating illness. There is still significant resistance to the science of Aromatherapy, but such is the resistance from the institutional-medicine/pharmaceutical-industrial complex to most &#8216;natural&#8217; health treatments. &#8216;Big Pharma&#8217; is THE industry with the highest average profit margins on earth &#8212; and is dedicated to producing, patenting, marketing selling new, unnatural (and therefore &#8216;patent-able&#8217;) chemical compounds that are supposed to answer every need of health and wellness. While some formulations do much good for the world (modern medicine has nearly eradicated several life-threatening illnesses from the planet), other medicines simply mask symptoms for a time, and others are downright dangerous.</p>
<p>Alternative therapies make up nearly ALL of the medicine ever used on Earth, and in many respects, we&#8217;re doing very well as a species &#8212; we must have been doing something right all that time. Many folks consider our connection to nature critical to our continued success on the planet, and that natural medicine must play a leading role. Essential oils turn out to be some of nature&#8217;s greatest gifts; they are potent chemicals created naturally by plants and are easily accessible to us. They&#8217;re also easy to use, relatively safe, and just happen to smell wonderful. What really is the science of Aromatherapy, and how might you learn to employ it in your wellness program? Let&#8217;s have a look&#8230;</p>
<p>There is an amazing disregard for natural healing in the mainstream media &#8211; despite the fact that so many of today&#8217;s &#8216;modern medicines&#8217; are derived directly from plant compounds. There are HUNDREDS of plants that are known to contain anti-cancer compounds, for example. Many of these without the side-effects of chemotherapy (it takes a skilled, knowledgeable Naturopathic doctor to develop an effective personal protocol for this type of work, but success is certainly possible). This brings us to the amazing derision placed upon the science of Aromatherapy. Aromatherapy is purely the science of therapeutic use, for physiological as well as psychological imbalances and disorders, of naturally-produced volatile aromatic plant chemicals. It may be that the term &#8216;Aromatherapy&#8217; lends itself to being pigeon-holed into mystical &#8216;new age&#8217; hocus-pocus, but in reality, it is simply the practice of using a particular class of natural compounds to improve one&#8217;s health, wellness and well-being.</p>
<p>The dichotomy of deriding aromatherapy for it&#8217;s unfounded healing potentials and extolling its virtues as effective medicine is curious. Take the recent &#8216;proof&#8217; of enteric-coated capsules of Peppermint essential oil being extremely effective in treating the sometimes debilitating symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or IBS. IBS is a result of unchecked growth of &#8216;unfriendly&#8217; bacterial in a weakened digestive system. Western medicine has been hard-pressed to find a safe and effective long-term treatment. Enter the steam distilled essential oil of whole peppermint herb &#8211; taken in capsules as to be well tolerated by those with sensitive stomachs, and to be released in the region of most effect &#8211; the intestines. The treatment has been widely accepted mostly due to it&#8217;s &#8216;proven&#8217; efficacy in controlled studies. Peppermint has the wonderful result of eliminating the disease-causing microorganisms, while leaving the natural and healthy &#8216;bugs&#8217; in the digestive system to do their job.</p>
<p>Another widely-published effect of a particular essential oil is that of Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) for the treatment of oral and genital herpes. The herpes simplex virus, or HSV, is one that a patient is thought to have to live with for the rest of their lives once contracted. The virus remains dormant in the nervous system until times of stress reduce immune system function enough to allow recurrence of painful sores and legions. It&#8217;s not fun, nor is it considered &#8216;curable&#8217; by the American medical establishment. However, in many university studies performed in Germany, Lemon Balm (as well as other combinations of essential oils containing the same ant-viral compounds) has been shown very effective at reducing the pain, duration, and frequency of outbreaks through topical application. One professor has even proclaimed that repeated use before and during outbreaks can lead to complete remission of the disease. Again, Aromatherapy to the rescue!</p>
<p>On the &#8217;soft side&#8217; of essential oil use, that of inhalation or massage-based &#8216;aroma&#8217; therapy, it is important first to note that MANY health professionals consider stress to be the number one cause of all disease. The body, lead by the mind, becomes overburdened in a variety of ways which lead to breakdown of particular systems (immune, circulatory, etc). Time and time again, Lavender and other essential oils have been reported by patients, even in controlled studies, to reduce stress levels. As the understanding of the mind-body connection to health and well-being grows, the importance of stress reduction techniques in natural health programs is coming to the forefront. Inhalation of essential oils is but one possible technique, but a powerful one at that. Upon comparison to Valium &#8211; the most ubiquitous of anti-stress agents in the Western world, a headline in the Journal of Essential Oil Research proclaimed &#8220;Lavender beats benzodiazepines&#8221; for stress reduction. This is one commonly-used anti-stress oil; there are many, many others &#8211; some people don&#8217;t like Lavender, but the may like Neroli, Bergamot, Sweet Orange, or one of hundreds of other oils that may reduce stress and have &#8216;downstream&#8217; effects of improved health and wellbeing.</p>
<p>Aromatherapy certainly deserves it&#8217;s place in the realm of medical treatments available today &#8211; some consider essential oils the absolute best route of treatment for certain infectious illnesses (essential oils have a wide range of antimicrobial and anti-viral effects). Oils are not a cure all, nor are they wonder drugs. They are effective plant medicines which should be used in appropriate situations with the respect they deserve. There are many well-written, interesting guides to medicinal use of essential oils; noted authors are Kurt Schnaubelt, Robert Tisserand, and Jane Buckley, among others. Find one or more of these texts and educate yourself! You&#8217;ll find a whole new world opening up in your natural health and wellness choices.</p>
<p>The author is proponent of the varied and potent healing actions of aromatherapy essential oils. For more, see <noindex><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.anandaapothecary.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" >http://www.anandaapothecary.com</a></noindex>.</p>
