Sassafras Tea

Make It: Place 6-8 rounded teaspoons of roots or bark in a non-aluminum pot and cover the herbs with two quarts cold water. Heat slowly to a boil with pot covered, and gently simmer for 25-45 minutes. The longer you simmer the herbs, the stronger the tea will be. Warm or chill, dilute to taste & sweeten with agave nectar or stevia as desired.

Sassafras Root chunks are available in store .

A cup of sassafras root tea is a traditional spring tonic in the South for hundreds of years, and was part of the home medicine of the early American colonists, who learned of its use from the Iroquois and Seneca tribes.

Sassafras tea was considered to be a blood purifier and the essential oil was used in liniments.

Sassafras was exported from the colonies to Europe where it caused quite a stir.

As a blood tonic, its roots maturing in the spring contain mineral salts that can thin the blood to help man survive the hot summer months, and then when these same plants matures in the fall they develop mineral salts that thicken the blood for those cold winter months.

  • The Sassafras roots, along with Sarsaparilla, are the original sources of natural root beer.
  • It is used to treat many kinds of skin diseases.
  • It was used as a treatment for Syphilis.
  • Sassafras has been helpful for relief from the itching of poison ivy and poison oak.
  • Sassafras stimulates liver action which clears toxins from the body making it an excellent treatment for all internally caused skin disorders such as acne, eczema and psoriasis.
  • It’s a great tonic for after childbirth.
  • In helping to adjust the hormone balance in the body, the ingredients of Sassafras aid the pituitary gland in releasing an ample supply of protein.
  • Helps with obesity due to its pituitary gland support and blood cleansing properties.

NOTE: The oil is toxic and should never be taken internally for any reason. Sassafras is not for long term use. Not for use in pregnancy.

  • Sassafras is sometimes combined with sarsaparilla in herbal formulas to address prostate problems in men; however this use is based on folklore and has not as yet been supported by modern research.

Herbs are an all natural way to help maintain health and wellness as well as preventing illness to begin with. Here is to good health.

Back Pain – The Social Burden

The magnitude of lower back pain and neck pain in terms of suffering, medical costs, lost work time and wages, and disruption in the quality of life is absolutely staggering. Thirty-five million Americans are affected by these afflictions and the problem accounts for the country’s greatest health care expenditure, at $60 billion annually. Lower back pain and neck pain are the second most common reason for medical office visits(just behind the common cold) and the number one cause of lost work time and disability claims. Each year, 83 million days of work are lost, and back and neck pain sufferers spend 200 million days in bed. These patients spend almost two and a half times as much on health care as other patients, but those costs vary dramatically depending on socioeconomic and demographic influences and not on the condition itself. Lower back pain is the most common cause of inactivity in people under the age of forty-five. It is time we gave this epidemic our full attention. By doing so, we can help to loosen its grip on our society.

If you are like most people who have either lower back pain or neck pain, you have probably tried several different therapies over the years and have sometimes received some temporary relief. You have also gotten several different diagnoses, various explanations, and conflicting opinions, some from medical professionals and many, many more from well-meaning friends. The only things that remain constant, however, are your confusion, your frustration, and your recurring lower back or neck pain.

Well, there is help for your affliction and it is probably closer than you could ever imagine. Now, because wedging yourself into an uncomfortable chair and then not moving your neck is the last thing that you want to do when you are in pain, I will be as brief as possible. You must find the combination of therapies that is right for you, and at Sciatica Exercises we will help you to do just that. If you leave your care to someone else–someone who has maybe two hundred other patients to think about or someone whose understanding of back pain and neck pain hasn’t changed since medical school twenty years ago–here is what you are likely to get.

See a general practitioner, and he will probably prescribe pain medication and maybe a muscle relaxer and tell you that the pain will go away. If it doesn’t, he’ll refer you to an orthopedist. Orthopedists most often prescribe anti-inflammatory medication and physical therapy and tell you that the pain will go away. If it doesn’t, he will refer you to a neurologist, who will run a battery of tests and then repeat what both of the other doctors have already said. Next up you have the surgeon, and if you make it to this point, the surgeon will undoubtedly repeat what everyone else has already told you and if the pain persists, the surgeon will want to operate.

Try the alternative care route, and you will find that the chiropractor will prescribe manipulation and adjustments. The acupuncturists will needle you. Massage therapists will rub a little, and though massage feels good, it has not been shown to influence the outcome one bit. Psychologists and psychiatrists–well, let’s just say that blaming your parents, your spouse, or your boss won’t make anyone feel better physically.

Now, it is not my intention to sit and bash respectable professionals, and there may be times when you will need some or all of them, but it has been my experience that they just have a hard time seeing beyond their own practices. So, if you really want help, and you do not mind doing some of the work yourself, then you need to do the necessary research to make an informed decision about your pain. After all, it is your back.

Allergy Basics – What Is an Allergy?

The human body has a complex immune system which helps it to fight infection. When infection attacks the body the immune system is triggered to produce antibodies. These antibodies have an individual ‘key’ to fit each individual infection. After exposure to a virus or bacteria, the immune system remembers this ‘key’. This protects the body from repeated infection from the same bacterium or virus. People who have allergies have an immune system that reacts to a usually harmless substance in the environment. This substance (pollen, mold, animal dander, etc.) is called an allergen.

What Happens During an Allergic Reaction?

The most common mechanism by which an environmental substance causes this kind of reaction involves antibodies, which are proteins formed by the immune system. The normal function of antibodies is to protect the body from infection by attacking and killing organisms like viruses and bacteria. In the case of allergy, the antibody is called immunoglobulin E, or IgE, and, rather than attaching itself to microorganisms, the antibody binds to normally harmless substances like pollen, dust mites, and animal danders.

Once IgE is formed in the bloodstream, it seeks out and binds to a type of cell called a mast cell, which is located in the mucous membrane of the eyes, nose, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract as well as skin. If the person is then re-exposed to that same allergen, the mast cell is triggered within a few minutes to release a variety of chemicals, including histamines, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins. These chemicals, which are also referred to as mediators of the allergic response, are responsible for the symptoms that patients develop after exposure to allergens.

Symptoms of an Allergic Reaction

Common symptoms of an allergic reaction to inhaled or skin allergens include:

  • Itchy, watery eyes
  • Sneezing
  • Itchy, runny nose
  • Rashes
  • Feeling tired or ill
  • Hives (a rash with raised red patches)

Common allergies and their symptoms can manifest anytime and anywhere so if you have allergic reactions to some types of foods, smell, pollen and others, you need to be very careful and avoid your allergy triggers. Note that some common allergies and their symptoms can cause some complications in your body. Once medical complications happen, danger comes in. Allergies are often tricky to diagnose and treat for a number of reasons. First, people display highly idiosyncratic reactions, which take on a diversity of symptom pictures. Allergies may also show up suddenly in someone with no previous history of sensitivity to an allergen. The converse may also happen; people with a previous sensitivity to a specific allergen may find themselves less reactive after a time.

Choosing Healthy Office Snacks for Weight Loss

A busy work day is never easy to handle, and if you’re trying to lose weight simultaneously, the challenge can seem overwhelming. However, even if you cannot take time out for exercise, there is no reason why you cannot choose healthy office snacks for weight loss, when the late afternoon hunger pangs strike. Give the bowl of candies and your burger meal a miss, and go in for these healthy foods instead.

Fruit

If you want something tasty, healthy, light and filling at the same time, there really is nothing better than some seasonal fruit. Keep two or three different ones handy so that you have variety in taste and nutritive content. Besides, the fruits you take should be easy to carry and munch on. Grapes, apples, bananas, pears and berries are all effective. If your office has a fully functioning pantry and you are in the mood for something more filling, you may also be able to quickly whip up a banana shake or smoothie, with low fat milk and yogurt. Alternatively, you could carry a healthy breakfast cereal and add the fruits to that for a tasty and refreshing light meal.

Nuts

Valtrex Mexico

Just as fruits, nuts are also essential to any weight loss diet. They work as a source of protein, keep untimely hunger pangs away and also contain essential and healthy fats. However, they are rich in calories, so make sure your afternoon portion is no heavier than an ounce. That still gives you roughly 25 almonds! Just make sure that you avoid the salted variety. Have the plain roasted ones instead. Like fruit, nuts can also be added to a healthy low-fat shake or breakfast cereal.

Peanut Butter and Whole Wheat Crackers

The whole wheat and multi-grain wheat crackers are fiber-rich and unrefined, and with your dab of peanut butter, you have a tasty and wholesome snack with adequate protein, that will keep you full for longer. Who says a weight loss diet is at the expense of taste?

Instant Oatmeal

A serving of instant oatmeal is nutritious, light in calories (110 calories) and filling. Besides, all you need to do is heat and eat. If you want to enhance the taste, you could add your own cinnamon, raisins or chopped fruit. Its nutrition, convenience and versatility, makes instant oatmeal one of the best healthy office snacks for weight loss.

Snack Bars

You need to be careful here, if you are looking to lose weight. Avoid he high-calorie bars loaded with artificial sugars. Get one which has a small and natural list of ingredients, has no or little added sugar and falls within 200 calories per serving. The best bars contain whole grain ingredients and nuts and dried fruits.

Naturally, all these items require a bit of planning in advance. If you only start thinking about what to eat when hunger strikes you in the middle of the work day, chances are you will reach for whatever is nearest and most easy to get. That’s why, if you are serious about your attempt to lose weight, you need to keep healthy things close at hand. As you have seen from the list above, once you have bought these things, there is minimal preparation required. With these healthy office snacks for weight loss, you will also feel more energized through your day, and more confident about your ability to stick to your weight loss diet.

7 Steps To Weeding Out Your Migraines

Have you seen the research by the Japanese water researcher, Dr Masaru Emoto where he examined the change in water after directing different human thoughts and emotions to it? He exposed water to music, spoken and typed words, pictures and videos and his findings are quite extraordinary. The water molecules of love, appreciation, gratitude were stunning! Whereas those water molecules exposed to ‘I hate you: I will kill you’ were quite the opposite.

Before you ask me, what’s the link with migraines? Let me remind you that our bodies are made of 80% water. There is some value to having a detached look at what kind of thoughts are we habitually thinking, speaking and feeling and how that’s working for you.

So, I challenge you to decide to really tackle your migraines head-on (pun intended) from this non-medical angle. Instead of looking outward for solutions, I challenge you to look inward.

At first, directing your attention inward may feel like wading into an unfamiliar swamp. And even though you may never have considered that there may be a link between your thoughts and emotions and your migraine, you may be surprised at what you find.

Viagra tablets

Just like Dr Masuru Emoto’s research, conflicting and critical thoughts create powerful and heavy emotions weigh heavily on you and you head, and your body, until it can’t take it anymore and it lets off steam. A migraine is the way the body and mind communicates to you that it cannot cope and needs to let off steam. The pain is the steam. Weed out those thoughts and emotions from your mind first, create a healthy lifestyle and habits and you will see your migraines reduce considerably.

If you are new to this, here are seven, no, eight tips to get you started.

1. On a clean sheet of paper, write down everything that comes to your mind about yourself, your health, your life and how you feel about your migraines (Don’t think about what you are writing, allow yourself the luxury of no censorship as nobody but you is reading this)

2. Go into detail and write how everything makes you feel.

3. When you’ve finished, take a break. For example, you could go for a walk, go swimming, have a conversation with a good friend or do anything that makes you happy

4. Come back to your sheet of paper and have a look at what you’ve written. Note your reactions.

5. Ask yourself, if these thoughts, emotions, feelings are what you want to continue thinking and feeling?

6. If not, then cross them out and decide on what you prefer to think and feel.

What you’ve just done by crossing out the thought is you have become aware of the ‘weed’ and have cut it – it’s weak now in the garden of your mind but the roots are still there and will grow back if you are not vigilant and take steps to weed out these thoughts.

7. To begin ‘weeding out’ these thoughts, for each of these thoughts, ask yourself ‘is this true?’ and if it is, then you ask yourself ‘do I want this to be true from now on?’ and you are on your way to pulling up the roots!

And one final step:

8. Now that you have some spare in your ‘mental garden’ why not use it to put better, nicer more empowering thoughts in your mind.

You’ll know they are better by how they make you feel. If the thought makes you feel slightly better, you know you are on the right track. If the thought drags you down, then that’s an indication that it’s bringing you back into a swampy-migraine state and that a better thought exists. Create sweet-smelling thoughts, plant them in your mind, keep weeding out the weeds… and oh, don’t forget to drink water!

Do Toddlers Need Chiropractic Care?

No parent can stand seeing his or her toddler in pain. As parents, we seek all possible solutions to relieve our toddler of any pain. Therefore, for the question do toddlers need chiropractic care, my answer is yes. Let us see why and how.

When a baby is born, the vertebra measures about 24 cm. By the time, the baby turns a year old, the spinal column increases to about 50% of its size. It doubles its length when the baby turns 5 years old. It is at this stage that toddlers are so busy and move about so fast, which can lead to traumas. The vertebra is greatly affected by the traumas they encounter. If this is not attended to, it can totally affect the toddler’s growth and health.

As soon as babies start to crawl or attempt to stand up, they encounter small accidents such as falling on their back while trying a step — and to think that they are not even a year old! These small mishaps can cause the improper alignment of their spinal cord that gives pressure to the nerves.
Some toddlers may complain of any pain that they have but oftentimes, they will just cry aloud. For that reason, parents must be well attuned to their toddler’s behavior. The crying can mean something more serious. As a parent, you must look for signs that will tell you that something is ailing them.

By seating your toddler, you can easily spot if he has problems on the neck and spine. Inability to turn his head in both directions implies that he has some sensitivity or soreness making him not to turn on the other direction.

Some activities, which were received by the toddler when he was an infant, also contribute to his having vertebral misalignment.

Parents may not know but the manner of changing the nappies put strain on the vertebra of your infant. Just try to recall how it is done – we raise both feet using just one hand while the other is busy removing the nappy and cleaning the baby. This is done repeatedly straining the spine of your infant. Just try to recall your infant’s position when you change nappies – is it not very awkward?

Picking him up by his arms or shoulders can also strain the vertebra.

Infants must learn how to crawl first before learning how to walk. However, some parents are so excited that they encourage their children to walk at an early age. This is especially true for first time parents. Once they see their baby crawling, they will hold him up and let him stand on his feet and guide him to walk. This is ridiculous! One activity must be mastered first before jumping into another — we all know this! Again, this forced action stresses his spinal cord.

Once the crawling stage was preempted by walking, the baby loses so much body coordination, which is all-important for his development. Such body coordination that gets affected are eye and hand synchronization, good hand grasp and visual perception, good right and left brain dexterity, communication and enhanced muscle growth all over the body.

Rushing an infant or toddler to activities that is beyond his capability put so much strain on his spinal column that can lead to further irritation. If this is not corrected, the toddler will have more problems that can hinder his performance.

Hence, chiropractic adjustments can give much benefit to toddlers suffering from these misalignments. A toddler with spinal subluxations will have to be seen by a chiropractor for him to have a healthy life.

It has been observed, too, that chiropractic treatment gives more long-standing health advantages to the toddler.

Stop Anxiety Attacks – Is That Your Dream?

You have finally faced up to the realization that you are one of the 40 million adult Americans with a debilitating anxiety disorder and now you are seeking the best way to stop anxiety attacks that are ruining your life. You are longing for that “used to be” lifestyle when you were free from the haunting fear and the humiliating instances of immobilization and other bizarre and erratic reactions brought on by these attacks.

Were you surprised by that “40 million” number? It’s quite common for those suffering such attacks to believe they are the “only one” dealing with such a malady, and so, believing that “no one could ever understand” what they are experiencing, they struggle and travail far too long, bearing this burden alone. Incidentally, people of all ages, including children, are susceptible to anxiety disorders.

However, we’re here to tell you the welcome news that many do understand, therefore, many treatments are available that will stop anxiety attacks and all their symptoms that you are experiencing. Hopefully, you are doing or will do the necessary research to learn more about this disorder and how to choose the most effective way to stop anxiety attacks. Perhaps our brief suggestions will help to make this an easier process for you and your family. Technicians or medical therapists describe anxiety, not as a single disorder or affliction, but as a cluster or group of similar or related afflictions. And because of these many different forms of anxiety disorders, it makes it more difficult to diagnose the correct form of anxiety and to stop the anxiety attacks. It is also important to understand that anxiety is not just psychological, but also involves the physical symptoms which often confuse the technician or doctor making the diagnosis.

In your quest to stop anxiety attacks that have interfered with your normal lifestyle, don’t overlook the fact that because of it’s lack of focus, you may also require partnering or merging of treatments and therapies to break the cycle of anxiety and stress triggered by the fear of another attack, and bring about the cure. Yes, we said “cure”. Be aware that some treatments focus on treating the symptoms and others actually focus on discovering the source of the anxiety, breaking the cycle of fearing another attack, and thus being able to affect a cure.

Combating the physical symptoms of anxiety is important because they interfere big time with your normal lifestyle, and certain medications such as beta blockers and antidepressants are instrumental in helping relieve many symptoms of anxiety disorders. These medications would be used in conjunction with other treatments focusing on affecting a cure rather than on managing symptoms, at the same time recognizing their portent to addiction and other side effects.

Medications may be the first treatment to come to mind, but if your goal is to stop anxiety attacks, to cure your anxiety disorder, regardless of its form, medical technicians and therapists agree that is not the appropriate treatment. Many anxiety therapists practice various natural remedies for anxiety such as specific breathing exercises and muscle and relaxation exercises; herbal teas and relaxants such as lavender, chamomile and herbal teas; physical exercise; a good healthy diet with all the right nutrients that contribute to healthy functioning of the brain which in turn produces the right attitudes and moods; and plenty of water.

Do you recall that we stated that anxiety is psychological, meaning involving the mind? Actually, there are six psychological conditions that have been labeled anxiety disorders: (GAD) generalized anxiety disorder; (PDST) post traumatic stress disorder; panic disorder; specific phobias or irrationality; (SAD) social anxiety disorder; (OCD) obsessive compulsive disorder.

In addition to the above treatments for stopping anxiety attacks, there is the familiar psychiatric anxiety treatment known as CBT, cognitive behavior treatment. This focuses on discovering the source of the anxiety, and then continues to work on attitude change, and rearranging thought and behavior patterns and responses regarding the fear and anxiety.

Other treatments helpful to bringing about a balance to the individual’s anxiety responses are: Psychotherapy or Talk Therapy, focusing on rooting out from the past, the source and “triggers” of the anxiety; alternative treatments as they are introduced to the field of psychiatry and medicine such as hypnosis, yoga, specific breathing and exercise programs; and biofeedback.

You’re on the right track; don’t be side-tracked! You’re headed for that “it’s back again” lifestyle of freedom from the debilitating fear and anxiety of those horrible attacks. You’ve been seeking and you have found your answer of “how to stop anxiety attacks”! Rejoice and be glad!
So, you’ve been suffering from anxiety or panic attacks and I know just how desperate you can become-I’ve been there. You don’t have to suffer any longer, but you need to learn how to stop anxiety attacks, not just ‘manage’ them.

Effects of Obesity on Health

Obesity, as is considered to be a cosmetic problem, is not so. On the other hand, it is one of the most severe health problems that is faced by men and women of all ages. It has also been found to be quite prevalent among young children. Although being obese makes you feel conscious about your physical appearance, you should be more concerned about the health risks that obesity carry. Losing weight and removing the label of obesity off yourself not only helps you look better, but also helps you lead a healthy, productive and comfortable life. And as said earlier, the most important aspect of treating obesity is to avoid the severe consequences of this health condition. The following are the major health risks involved with being obese.

Heart Disease and Stroke

These two are the leading causes of death and disability for both men and women. Obese people are more likely to have high blood pressure, which is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Even very high cholesterol can lead to heart disease and stroke, which is again more likely to be present in obese people. Obesity can also lead to angina, chest pain caused by decreased oxygen to the heart, or sudden death from heart disease or stroke without any signs or symptoms. Fortunately, taking slimming pills for treating obesity can help you avoid these health conditions.

Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus or type 2 diabetes, is the most common type of diabetes, which reduces your body’s ability to control blood sugar. It is one of the major factors that can cause early death, heart disease, kidney disease, stroke, and blindness. People who are obese are twice more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who are not obese. Apart from using prescription medications such as Xenical for treating obesity, you can also start losing weight by increasing your physical activity. As such losing weight and becoming physically active, can help you in gaining control over your blood sugar levels.

Cancer

Obesity can also lead to several types of cancers or aggravate the cancers, which are almost in their last stages.

  • In women, it can cause the cancer of uterus, gallbladder, cervix, ovary, breast, and colon.
  • Men who are obese can be at a risk of developing the cancer of colon, rectum, and prostate.

Although, for the cancers of colon or breast, it has not been firmly established that they are caused because of overweight, in spite of closely related to weight.

Sleep Apnoea

Another serious condition that is closely associated with obesity, which can cause a person to stop breathing for short periods during sleep and to snore heavily. It can also lead to daytime sleepiness and in extreme cases, it can trigger the onset of symptoms of heart failure. The risk of this condition increases with a person’s body weight, but it also can increase with too much of weight loss. You can control your weight with pills such as Xenical, and consult your doctor for the required amount of weight that is to be reduced.
