The Truth About Neck Pain
The structure of the human body needs balance to survive and be healthy. Unfortunately, the skull is balanced upon a narrow column of bone and tendons. With gravity forcing down upon the body, the neck has its job cut out. Neck pain is so commonly mistaken as a 'crick' or an ache.
The body tells the brain, in a psycho-semantic way, that something is wrong in the form of pain. The symptoms may ease but the problem may still be there. Using a chiropractor to assess and regulate the spine and muscles can allow neck pain to be subdued and reduce the chance of it returning.
Neck pain can be caused in many different ways, whether it is obvious reasons such as a car accident or something simple such as sleeping in an awkward position. The body and indeed neck bend in many ways which can not only cause pain, but internal organ problems. If the spine, neck and head are in-line and symmetrical, the neck pains should disappear and wellness will be enhanced.
Chiropractors have the skills and necessary tools to understand and assess any problems associated with neck problems. The key to solving the problem is to catch it early. Having regular check ups and assessments can be vital in reducing ill heath. The neck needs care as it can cause more problems with the spine and shoulders. Headaches are also a common occurrence with neck problems and these are heavily medicated, which only temporarily fixes pain. Many sufferers mask the problem rather than finding a solution to the cause.
A chiropractor's plan is to assess, align and keep on top of the true natural balance of the human body. This can reduce susceptibility to more injury or ill health. As wellness is an overview of the human body, having a good diet, regular massages and visiting one of our clinics in Montgomery County, Maryland will catapult you towards being healthy and more comfortable with daily activities.
Whether it has been whiplash or heavy lifting, sleeping oddly or stress, pains in the neck have to be high on the priority list to being dealt with. Patients who leave neck problems for months will end up having more problems. Those who rely on medication are only masking the pain, as it does not dig down into the root cause of the problem. Once the natural balance of the body is disrupted or has been worsened, the pains and headaches will increase. Only then, which is usually unbearable, do patients try everything to subdue the problem. Regular sessions with a chiropractor can help reduce the risk of pain.
As we can see, neck problems may be caused by certain traumas which make daily life more difficult. A pain is the body's way of asking for help. Medication is only a temporary fix and it can cause more problems to the structure of the body. Having the correct alignment of spine and neck will bring easier living.

How to treat Insomnia with natural remedies
Insomnia can affect a person's everyday life, and many have resorted to all kinds of cures and remedies just to get the much needed sleep. Sleep is a basic necessity for human beings, and deprivation from rest can have considerable negative physiological effects as tiredness continuously wears the body down. However, as people search for remedies and cures, one should take note that not all insomnia remedies work for all types of people, nor is one remedy applicable to all types of insomnia.
The natural ways of aiding one's insomnia include an array of treatments, at times needing a specialist or can be easily accomplished on one's own. An insomnia remedy such as acupuncture falls under the natural way or treating insomnia, and obviously a person needs to have a specialist to have this procedure. Aromatherapy, however, can easily be done at home. Scented candles, incenses, or oils are usually associated with this therapy.
Natural insomnia remedies:
1) Warm bath for sleep and relaxation: Taking a warm water bath 20 to 30 minutes before you go to sleep can help induce sleep. This technique relaxes your body completely. Your body becomes so calm that you will almost certainly fall asleep.
2) Sleep in a dark room: The second way to fall asleep quickly is to sleep in a dark room. Doing this causes your body to secrete a hormone that induces sleep. If required you can have a very dim night lamp.
3) Deep breathing for sound sleep: Third on the list of natural insomnia remedies is a technique that is used for many other ailments. If you can practice deep breathing it will help you sleep very peacefully. Deep breathing relives you of tension and stress. It also improves the oxygen supply to the body. Both these benefits of deep breathing are excellent insomnia cures.
4) Maintain sleep pattern: Another natural insomnia remedy is to maintain the sleep pattern. If you feel sleepy during the day, make sure you avoid a nap. By sleeping in the noon you will disturb the sleeping pattern and this will cause sleeplessness at night.
There is also what people call the spiritual remedy. Since insomnia can be caused by stress or anxiety, training one's self to relax or meditate can be effective in remedying insomnia. Even prayer can help, all depending on how a person can easily (and psychologically) cope from stress and restlessness.
Diet, on the other hand, can also affect a person's sleeping habits. It is not necessarily the question of what to eat to remedy insomnia, but also what not to eat to avoid it. Drinks chockfull of caffeine (sodas, energy drinks, coffee, etc.) should be avoided. Having a healthier diet can also help a person get enough sleep.
Training Yourself to Sleep With Self Hypnosis
Hypnosis also works as a natural remedy for insomnia. Depending on the causes of your insomnia, you'll usually need two or three sessions. This is because when your body is completely relaxed your mind relaxes too -- it's impossible to feel stressed when you're completely relaxed physically.

Natural Infertility Treatment
Both men and women suffer from infertility caused by various reasons. However, it's important for both the sex to undergo treatment for this complicated issue. Various known and unknown factors cause infertility in women. These include diseases like endometriosis, diminished ovarian reserve, ovulation disorders, and low progesterone level. Low sperm count and low sperm motility, STD, injury or chronic diseases, sperm blockage and ageing are some of the reasons men for, which suffer.
Scheduled drugs and systematic treatment can cure most of the above mentioned infertility problems except ageing and chronic diseases, although these treatments are quite expensive and may have harmful side effects. Additional treatment may be required to cure the side effects. Treatments conducted through IVF or In Vitro Fertilization and ICSI or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection is best among the other methods of infertility treatment. In this technique, the egg cells outside the womb are fertilized by the sperm and then transferred inside. This treatment is suggested when other techniques fail to give results. This technique is a hormonally controlled ovulation progression. In this treatment involves, the ova is removed from the female's ovaries and helps the sperm to fertilize in a fluid medium. But this is not a normal process at all and involves excavation of the eggs from the ovary, fertilizing them in an outside laboratory and putting them back in the uterus. In the normal process, the human decides to pick the healthiest sperm for reproducing the egg but in the artificial process, the embryologist takes this decision. However, when he fails to pick the healthiest sperm and egg, it may cause the ill health of the child during birth and even later in life.
Some alternative techniques with a holistic approach are fast becoming popular in order to cure the problem of secondary infertility. These techniques are all the more preferred by people as these have less or no side effects at all.
The acupuncture method, for example, especially ear acupuncture or Auricular is very effective in cases where female infertility has been caused by some kind of malfunction of the ovary. The hormonal message that is transferred from brain to ovary is the most beneficial result received from this technique. In accordance to the investigative trials, those women who have received acupuncture treatment for about 30 times within a time period of 3 months have shown good results. Those female who underwent hormonal therapy along with it suffered from side effects.
In the alternative treatment techniques, diet and lifestyle changes are given a lot of importance.
Regular intake of such things that contain caffeine like coffee, chocolate, cocoa, green tea (containing caffeine), black tea and colored soft drinks which has harmful effects on conception is discouraged. According to a study, one and a half cup of coffee for a woman who is trying for pregnancy is sure to delay her conception. Thus coffee is a strictly a no-no for patients suffering from infertility.
Diets that include fish contaminated with PCB or Polychlorinated Biphenyls are also believed to be a cause for substantial reduction in the ability to become pregnant. According to one study, women who had more than one meal containing fish contaminated with PCBs (procured from Lake Ontario), developed reduced fecundity within a month.
The best result for the treatment of infertility has been reported through the Chinese medicines, acupuncture and of course, the holistic approach. The holistic approach reaches to the depth of the problem and only then delivers physical, spiritual as well as emotional treatment, rather than only investigating the organs. On the other side, the conventional approach to the problem of infertility fails to successfully detect and remove the real causes and moreover, causes side effects. The holistic approach suggests a natural remedy and a way of life that can really solve the problem as soon as the real cause is determined.

The benefit of green tea
It is a miracle. People have been drinking green tea as treatment for everything from weight loss to curing cancer to skin problems.
In the 1994 edition of the Journal of National Cancer Institute, the results of an epidemiological study showed that one of the health benefits of drinking green tea is that it can reduce the risk of esophageal cancer in Chinese men and women by up to 60%.
The rich presence of catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the reason why green tea has so many health benefits. A powerful antioxidant, EGCG can not only inhibit the growth of cancer cells but can also destroy them without harming healthy cells.
Also another benefit of green tea is its ability to lower down cholesterol levels and improve the ratio between good (HDL) cholesterol and bad (LDL) cholesterol. This is a leading cause of strokes and heart attacks.
Green tea has greater health benefits compared to other Chinese teas like oolong and black tea, which come from the plant Camellia sinensis. What makes green tea different is the process by which it is made. Green tea owes much of its health benefits to how the Camellia sinensis leaves are steamed. The process stops the EGCG health benefit of green tea from oxidizing.
Drinking green tea can allow more calories to be burnt which will result in weight loss. This was proven in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 1999, men who take both caffeine and green tea burn down more calories than men who only take caffeine or a placebo. Many People have embarked on green tea dieting with great success and benefit.
Another health benefit of green tea is its bacteria-destroying properties. The benefit of green tea is that it can help prevent food poisoning and also prevent tooth decay.
Well known for its countless health benefits such weight loss and curing cancer, green tea is a miracle.

Natural Herpes Treatment
I know, I know, herpes has an unrelenting reputation as a scurge of incurable proportions.
Fortunately for those that are made aware, there are many many ways to get immediate relief from the symptoms of herpes, (my website list almost thirty) and there are several very dependable ways to completely kill the herpes virus, eliminating the disease from your body, forever. All of them perfectly safe and totally natural.
First I will outline the top symptomatic cures, and then I will cover the most reliable holistic methods of permanently eradicating the herpes virus from your life, once and for all.
There are two methods of treating the symptoms of herpes which are; internal and external. At the first signal of an outbreak, have ready, and reach for, your preferred symptomatic internal herpes treatment.
If that fails to turn the "flair up" around and sores begin to manifest anyway, while continuing to take your internal herpes cure, start applying locally your chosen preference for treating the external symptoms of herpes.
These herpes cures are all natural, so why not use two or more at the same time? Alternate them intermittently.
Internal Treatments For Herpes Symptoms
Bitter Melon is reported to work wonders for subduing cold sore out breaks. It's claimed if you take a couple of capsules as soon as you feel the beginning tinge of an outbreak, it will never manifest. People who take bitter melon on a regular basis claim to never have outbreaks except when they forget to take it.
Acidophilus:It's claimed if you take a few capsules of acidophilus at the onset of an outbreak, it will never happen. It can be taken daily for constant protection as well.
L-Lysine is a favored herpes treatment by many of it's sufferers. One to two thousand milligrams four times a day is the recommended amount.
Garlic:Take massive quantities of the odorless garlic softgels. I have heard of good results by taking a dozen or so of the softgels at the first sign of a tingling, and then three capsules every four hours, for the next several days.
Holly/Walnut Flower Essence is said to be a very potent remedy for treating the symptoms of herpes.
External Treatments For Herpes Symptoms
Aceton: Dab a Q-tip with acetone on any herpes-1 or herpes-2 related cold sore several times a day, and keep the area dry with cornstarch for a very effective herpes treatment.
Apple Cider Vinegar is a wonderful topical solution for cold sores. Use it full strength. Put it on with a Q-tip at the first sign of an eruption, and continue to do so at regular intervals until it's gone.
DMSO Gel is very much appreciated by cold sore sufferers. Put it on your lip as soon as you feel the tingling and it will keep the cold sore from appearing.
Honey is reported to be very dependable for healing cold sores, and heals them in as little as twenty four hours! Just dab on a little honey (unpasteurized) at the first sign of a cold sore, and continue to do so at least 3 to 4 times a day. It will stop the pain and itching instantly.
Alum is said to be an amazing cure for cold sores. It dries them out practically overnight! Keep applying it every two or three hours until the sore is gone.
Natural Methods To Cure Herpes Symptomatic relief that actually works, is of course a relief. Still a cure is the obvious approach to herpes as once the virus is gone, not only are the symptoms as well, but also the fear of transmitting it to others. What could be better?
The Elemental Miracle is the most powerful natural antiviral known to man, and has been reported to completely eliminate both types of herpes by killing the virus itself. It has to be taken in maximum dosage twice a day for several weeks however, due to the stubborn nature of the disease. Mixing it with DMSO and rubbing it on the spine, in addition to applying it externally on any cold sores, insures a complete herpes cure.
Oil of Oregano (Wild Mediterranean Variety) is another option for completely killing the herpes virus. It has been declared that regularly rubbing the oil vigorously over the spinal column, along with taking five drops under the tongue twice a day, will completely destroy the virus.
There are people who have reported being freed of herpes-2 in less than a month by this method. The reason it's recommended to rub the elemental miracle and/or oregano oil mixed with DMSO on the spine, is because that is where the virus lives even when dormant, and the DMSO helps drive these antivirals deep into the tissues directly to the source. Also using oil of oregano mixed with DMSO on cold sores, is reported to be very effective.
Colloidal Silver has been credited with eliminating both herpes-1 and herpes-2 but it can take a few months. And it requires taking at least a tsp. three times a day, which makes this the most expensive of these three total cures for herpes.
So, there you have it. The reason "herpes is the easiest disease in the world to cure" is because if you start taking any one, or all three of these complete cures without waiting for another outbreak, you will never even know you ever had the disease in the first place.
Still if your not concerned about sharing it, or of it posing a constant threat, the symptomatic methods outlined here are amazingly dependable. I wish you all the best, and humbly encourage you to go all the way, and rid yourself of this menace for good! It's just too easy not to.

Mixing it with DMSO and rubbing it on the spine, in addition to applying it externally on any cold sores, insures a complete herpes cure.
Oil of Oregano (Wild Mediterranean Variety) is another option for completely killing the herpes virus. It has been declared that regularly rubbing the oil vigorously over the spinal column, along with taking five drops under the tongue twice a day, will completely destroy the virus.
There are people who have reported being freed of herpes-2 in less than a month by this method. The reason it's recommended to rub the elemental miracle and/or oregano oil mixed with DMSO on the spine, is because that is where the virus lives even when dormant, and the DMSO helps drive these antivirals deep into the tissues directly to the source. Also using oil of oregano mixed with DMSO on cold sores, is reported to be very effective.
Colloidal Silver has been credited with eliminating both herpes-1 and herpes-2 but it can take a few months. And it requires taking at least a tsp. three times a day, which makes this the most expensive of these three total cures for herpes.
So, there you have it. The reason "herpes is the easiest disease in the world to cure" is because if you start taking any one, or all three of these complete cures without waiting for another outbreak, you will never even know you ever had the disease in the first place.
Still if your not concerned about sharing it, or of it posing a constant threat, the symptomatic methods outlined here are amazingly dependable. I wish you all the best, and humbly encourage you to go all the way, and rid yourself of this menace for good! It's just too easy not to.

How to Treat Infertility With Vitamins by Kyle. J. Norton
As we mentioned in previous articles, infertility is defined as the inability of a couple to conceive after 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse. It effects over 5 millions couple alone in the U. S. and many times more in the world. Because of an unawareness of treatments, only 10% seeks help from professional specialist.We have spent most of the time in this series discussing the conventional and Chinese medicine in treating fertility. I believe, it is the best time to change the subject by discussing how to treat infertility with vitamins.
1. Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 besides is a vital vitamin for the development of the fetus during pregnant, it also helps to treat hypothyroidism, thereby decreasing the risk of hormone imbalance caused by low thyroid gland, resulting in normalizing the women menstrual cycle, thus increasing the chance of fertility.
2. Folic Acid
Folic acid besides plays a vital in increasing the production of iron, it also helps to strengthen and restore cervical tissues, resulting in decreasing the risk caused by damaging cervix.
3. Vitamin C
Beside helping to boost the immune system as an antioxidant fighting against forming of free radicals, it also helps to strengthen the small veins in the body, including the veins in the reproductive organs, thereby increasing blood flow to the penis and uterus.
4. Vitamin D
Vitamin D besides is important for calcium absorption, it also increases the immune function in fighting immune abnormal reaction caused by allergies, thereby decreasing the immune protein binding to sperm or producing sperm hostile mucus.
5. Vitamin E
Vitamin E is another antioxidant, besides boosting the immune system, it also helps our body in regulating cells growth, resulting in lessening the risk of tumor, fibroids and cancer, caused by abnormal cell duplication.

Swine Flu is Cure and Prevention
Swine flu (swine influenza A) is a respiratory disease caused by influenza viruses that usually infect the respiratory tract of pigs. Swine flu viruses have the capacity to mutate so that they are easily transmissible among humans. Symptoms in humans are similar to most influenza infections: fever, cough, nasal secretions, fatigue, headache, and gastrointestinal symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea. Two antiviral agents, Zanamivir and Oseltamivir are known to be effective in this condition, if taken within 48 hours of the onset of symptoms.
Herbal medicines with antiviral activity can be used to prevent or reduce the effects of the viral infection. These medicines include Yashtimadhuk (Glycyrrhiza glabra), Tulsi, Bhumiamalaki (Phyllanthus niruri), Haridra, Daruharidra (Berberis aristata), Kutki (Picrorrhiza kurroa), Chitrak (Plumbago zeylanica) and Amalaki (Emblica officinalis). In the case of swine flu, the earlier these medicines are started, the better the therapeutic effect.
It is also important to boost the immune status of the body in order to bring about a faster recovery and prevent complications. This can be done by using medicines like Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus), Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), Bala (Sida cordifolia), Naagbala (Grewia hirsuta), Abhrak-Bhasma, Suvarna-Bhasma, Laghu-Malini-Vasant, Madhu-Malini-Vasant, Suvarna-Malini-Vasant and Suvarna-Parpati. These medicines can also be used for preventive purposes, both by the normal, unaffected population and also by those who are at special risk; for example, close contacts of affected individuals, and medical and para-medical staff.
The medication known as "Vardhmaan-Pippali-Rasayan" can be used to prevent serious damage due to swine flu infection, or as a swine flu treatment and preventive medication in individuals at risk.
It is important to take adequate preventive measures to keep the swine flu infection from spreading. Symptomatic individuals should observe voluntary quarantine for a period of seven to fourteen days, which is usually the time the contagious stage lasts. Simple measures like using tissue paper for nasal secretions, and disposing off these, can significantly reduce the risk of transmission to others.

How To Get Rid of Leg Cramps
When a painful, agonizing leg cramp strikes you, you want to know how to get rid of that leg cramp and how to prevent any more from occurring.
There are a few conventional treatments you can try for yourself, and there is a great alternative treatment that is worth consideration.
A leg cramp occurs when a muscle spasms with involuntary contraction. It is the familiar charlie horse - a painful knot in the calf, hamstring, quadriceps, or even foot. The agony can last only a few seconds or up to fifteen minutes ... or more. Painful leg muscle cramps often occur at night and can disrupt your sleep.
There are some common factors that increase the chance of having leg cramps, they include:
*Muscle tiredness, muscles that have been overworked
*Heavy, strenuous, exercising
*Being dehydrated, not drinking enough water
*Having a high body weight, but not necessarily being obese
*Electrolyte imbalances
*Medications you are taking, prescribed or otherwise
*Being pregnant
*A magnesium deficiency
*A calcium deficiency
*Motor neuron diseases can cause severe cramps
Overusing muscles through vigorous exercise is a common cause of leg cramps. Football, basketball, baseball, tennis, soccer, running, and even walking can bring on a painful episode of leg cramps. Sometimes standing on a surface like concrete for an extended period of time, having flat feet, or even getting your leg or foot into some awkward out-of-normal position can trigger them!
Medicines your doctor has prescribed can be the culprits too, of leg cramps. Diuretics, anti-psychotics, birth control pills, steroids and statins are medicines that might cause you to have leg cramps. Avoiding alcohol is a good suggestion because alcohol will act as a diuretic and cause you to lose water, possibly leading to hydration.
A severe case of leg cramps may result in tenderness and even muscle fiber necrosis. Necrosis is the localized death of living cells (as from infection or the interruption of blood supply).
To prevent leg cramps you must stay hydrated, and follow a proper, balanced diet. These two things are important because the muscles in your legs must have an adequate supply of oxygenated blood and the proper amount of electrolytes. These are simply facts of the way we human beings are designed. When you lack in water intake and proper diet, your chances of suffering from cramps in your legs increases.
Drink water. Eight glasses of water a day is a good guideline. Before you exercise, make sure you do some stretching and warming up before you go full-bore into that basketball or tennis game, or even before you begin your workout walk.
Eat a healthy diet. This will help reduce your chances of suffering from leg cramps. Consult a health professional as what should be included in your diet. To help prevent leg cramps, it is important have the proper amount of vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes provided in your diet. Potassium is necessary to help fight against leg cramps. Potassium can easily be obtained by eating bananas, a very healthy food.
To get relief from a cramp in your calf muscle try stepping away from a wall about two feet and then lean forward to the wall using your arms as a brace, and stretch out the cramping calf muscle. Do this slowly. You can also try stretching the calf muscle by slowly raising and lowering on your toes. Making a habit of stretching the muscles in your calves and thighs can help condition them and lesson the chances of, and severity of, leg cramps. Massage can also help relieve muscle spasms.
Usually cramping legs are only a minor thing and something not to worry about. There are times however, that they may indicate a more serious condition such as diabetes or peripheral artery disease. Don't delay consulting your doctor if your leg cramps are regular and causing severe pain.
Sometimes, keeping hydrated and eating a healthy, balanced diet are not enough to keep leg cramps away. You may need something more.
Natural, safe, and alternative remedies are often very helpful in getting rid of leg cramps and lessening their symptoms. A natural remedy is a natural substance or herb that is prepared, processed, or formulated for its medicinal properties using only natural substances. In contrast, most Western health systems are based on synthetically produced medicines. Natural remedies can be very effective in getting rid of leg cramps. Natural remedies are available for just about any malady you may suffer.

15 Recommended Tips to Prevent and Overcome Back Pain
Lower back pain is a problem of bones and muscle, affects the back muscles in the low back. Back pain causes depression, disturbed sleep, impaired balance, and a withdrawal from the pleasurable activities of life.
Back pain is a common problem which affects many of us at certain times in our lives. About 60 to 90 percent of all U.S. citizens will experience at least one back injury in their lives. Half of these people will experience multiple episodes of back problems.
Lower back pain can be triggered by a number of factors and different part of the back that can be affected. The most common causes of lower back pain are:
1. Poor seating and poor posture - Office workers are now spending more time at there desks which counter-balances improvements in chair and desk design
2. Too much caffeine
3. Kidney problems are frequently associated with low back pain
4. Pregnancy- commonly leads to low back pain
5. Emotional stress-commonly leads to muscle weakness and back pain
6. Sleeping uncomfortably on the wrong kind of mattress
7. Lack of exercise and general mobility - The public today is less mobile and with gadget like remote controls and mobile phones are moving less when in the home
8. Overweight - The body needs certain ingredients to function properly and at poor diet can take its affect on a person's muscles and bones.
9. Over-activity and Excessive sports
10. Poor muscular balance
11. Pre-existing back problems - If the true cause of a bad back is never rectified then the condition can continue for a patient for there whole life.
12. Age - Muscles and bones age which can result in less support for the back muscle's
However we can remove some leading causes of back pain by making some simple healthy lifestyle choices. You have a choice!
Below are some tips to help to prevent and overcome lower back pain
1. Regular exercise .
There are lots of good reasons to use exercises to manage your backpain. First of all, it's an all natural way to deal with the problem. You're not constantly popping pills or wrapping ice packs around your back. Because it's all natural, you won't experience any harmful side effects. However, you do need to make sure you perform the exercises correctly so you don't injure yourself further.
Another great reason to take up exercise to manage your back pain is that it helps you avoid more damage down the road. Your core muscles are strengthened through regular exercise. And so you're making sure that your body is able to deal with everything. It's required to do each day.
2. Practice good posture
If you must stand for long periods, rest 1 foot on a low stool to relieve pressure on your lower back. Every 5 to 15 minutes, switch the foot you're resting on the stool. Maintain good posture: Keep your ears, shoulders and hips in a straight line, with your head up and your stomach pulled in.
3. Good sitting posture
Sit in chairs with straight backs or low-back support. Keep your knees a little higher than your hips. Adjust the seat or use a low stool to prop your feet on. Turn by moving your whole body rather than by twisting at your waist.
4. Good position for sleeping
The best way to sleep to reduce the pressure on your back is on your side with your knees bent. You may put a pillow under your head to support your neck. You may also put a pillow between your knees.
5. Reduce occasions of emotional stress
Try to chill out and stay relaxed, because getting wound up causes a lot of stress in all the muscles in the body, not just those in the neck. Stressed-out people are far more likely to suffer from back pain than those who are relaxed. A simple technique to reduce stress is to practise deep breathing. If you breathe deeply using your diaphragm, rather than your chest and neck, you'll help strengthen the deep abdominal muscles, which help to support the spine by tightening the natural 'corset' effect of the body.
6. Don't sleep on a hard bed
Despite what your mum told you about how sleeping on a rock-hard bed would make you grow up straight, hard beds have no give. This means they won't absorb and support your natural contours and the pressure of your bodyweight will be redirected back into your body. A good bed should adjust to the shape of your spine and be comfortable but firm - a bed that's too soft can also cause back problems.
7. Weight control
Putting on a lot of weight over a short period of time can place stress on the body by tilting the pelvis forwards and overloading the spine. Ever wondered why pregnant women suffer back pain?
8. Have massage therapy
Massage therapy is a great, non-invasive method of treating chronic back pain. It increases circulation to the muscles which helps speed recovery from injuries.
9. Stay flexible
Desk-bound workers should get up every 20 minutes, even if it's just to get a glass of water. Lack of mobility is the most common cause of back pain in men and it doesn't take a Nobel Prize in medicine to work out that slouching over a keyboard for hours will make you stiff.
10. Acupunture
Acupuncture may bring moderate to complete back pain relief for many sufferers. It can be used alone or as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes medications and other bodywork. Clinical achievements, along with positive research results, prompted the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to declare acupuncture a reasonable treatment option for those suffering low back pain.
11. Stay hydrated
Many types of pain are due to chronic dehydration in the body. Drinking 8-10 glasses of water a day can help reduce pain all over the body. It helps flush out toxins, lubricates and cushions your joints, helps relieve congestion and keeps your body in balance.
12. Balance in lifestyle
- If you smoke, quit. Smoking reduces blood flow to the lower spine and causes the spinal discs to degenerate. - A diet with sufficient daily intake of calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D helps to promote new bone growth
13. Breathing Techniques
Breathing techniques that make use of the mind-body connection have been found to reduce pain. Breath therapy was found to be safe. Other benefits of breath therapy were improved coping skills and new insight into the effect of stress on the body.
14. Yoga
Yoga creates balance in the body through various poses that develop flexibility and strength. A study of people with chronic mild low back pain compared Iyengar yoga to back education. After 16 weeks, there was a significant reduction in pain intensity, disability, and reliance on pain medication in the yoga group.
15. Lifting
Don't try to lift objects too heavy for you. Lift with your knees, pull in your stomach muscles, and keep your head down and in line with your straight back. Keep the object close to your body. Do not twist when lifting
If you are having constant issues with back pain then it is recommended to speak to your GP or see a back pain specialist.

Natural remedy for diseases - Cranberry Juice
It is a naturally healthy drink that can be used for improving the immune system and the other medical purposes, specially for the treatment of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). Cranberry Juice is a natural remedy that produces hippuric acid inside the urine which acidifies the urine and prevents sticking of bacterium on the bladder walls. It also prevents multiplication of cells in our body, which is responsible for the development of blood cancer disease and it also stops the rapid growth of tumours inside our body.
However, excessive consumption of Cranberry Juice is harmful for the body, and one should also avoid consuming the highly sugared cranberry "cocktails". The correct intake of cranberry juice is prescribed by the dieticians as about one capsule of a concentrated cranberry juice extract (400mg), two to four times in a day, or one can take two to three large (16oz.) glasses of it.
Decreasing the level of bad cholesterol in the body and increasing the concentration of good cholesterol is mostly done by the Cranberry juice, which proves to be quite beneficial. Therefore, it's very helpful in maintaining the healthy and systematic functioning of all organs of the body and it also make the flow of the blood accurately. This healthy juice is also capable for cold infections and curing cough.
Cranberry juice also reduces the risk of osteoporosis among individuals as it is very rich in calcium content. Older people, who have a little amount of acid present in their stomach which helps in digesting the food, often take acid suppressors to digest their food, but they don't have ability to absorb vitamin B12. In those cases, the intake of Cranberry Juice provides the capacity to digest such vitamins. Routine intake of this juice also helps to protect against stomach diseases like stones and ulcers etc.

Older people, who have a little amount of acid present in their stomach which helps in digesting the food, often take acid suppressors to digest their food, but they don't have ability to absorb vitamin B12. In those cases, the intake of Cranberry Juice provides the capacity to digest such vitamins. Routine intake of this juice also helps to protect against stomach diseases like stones and ulcers etc.

How to cure constipation
Hi, my name is Christian and I've created this page to share my story about how after a long 3 month battle I finally found the solution that helped me to cure my constipation.
For the last 3 month I've been struggling with a really bad case of reccuring constipation. It made my life very uncomfortable.
I had to a real tough time trying to pass a stool, and was able to do so only about 2-3 times a week.
I was trying to get rid of constipation by drinking lots of water, eating more fiber-rich foods, excercising daily, trying different home remedies and drinking some special tea. But none produced real results that lasted.
Most of the solutions that I've tried were nothing more than short term quick-fix solutions that didn't help me to get rid of my severe constipation.
One day while watching the Oprah show, Dr. Oz came to talk about colon cleansing.
He shared some interesting facts about the colon. Like the fact that 60 percent of the colon plugged up with waste materials, parasites, toxins, and other intestinal garbage that builds up year after year.
But the part that hooked me was when Dr. Oz explained that having a colon cleanse will eliminate digestive problems such as bloating and constipation. Colon cleanse seemed like the solution I had been looking for all along.
Colon cleansing is responsible of flushing out toxins, parasites and hardened-waste that is causing constipation, therefore provides immidiate and bowel relief and allows you to have regular bowel movements again.
My colon cleanse went very well, I've noticed significant improvement within days and haven't experienced another bad case of constipation ever since.

Step by Step to healthier eyes: learning how does the eye function
We all know how important our eyes are, and now many people are rediscovering a wonderful method, there is no limit as to how much we can improve our vision beyond the 20-20 range. If we practice and are persistent in our eye training, we can improve our vision quickly, but first we must learn how our eye works.
When your vision is off, you actually look at the side of an object to see it clearly. Test this theory and see where you currently stand. Find a piece of paper with small print on it. Look at the words straight on and then turn your head to the side until you can read the print. Move your head one way and then the other until you find the best position for reading the print perfectly. Are you straight on or to the side?
The retina is located in the center of the eye and is full of small light sensing rods. This area is called the fovea centralis and is the area of the eye created to have the best line of vision. If you are tilting your head to the side to see properly, the fovea centralis is not working correctly. The fovea centralis may actually even be turned off. As a defense against outside dangers or stress, this area can shut down to protect itself. If it is turned off, your vision will not be as perfect as it can be.
Vision can be affected by our feelings and emotion. Center fixation can be off because of negative feelings inside our minds. Negative memories, experiences, or people can force our eyes to turn away and avoid head on contact.
A lot of vision problems are 'all in our heads'. Learning to deal with tough situations in a relaxed way can be difficult, but it's necessary for good vision. Every situation should be looked at and dealt with head on, not with a turned away from. Simply learning how the eyes work can help us to use them properly. Training the eyes to focus on things straight on will help avoid strain and keep them relaxed. Improve eyesight

How to get rid of Asthma, Hayfever & Bronchitis with Yoga
INVARIABLY the first question I am asked about Yoga is, 'Do you stand on your head every morning?' To the uninitiated this standing on the head represents the sum total of Yoga, and it is thereupon dismissed as a foible of cranks and crackpots. Not one person in a hundred asks me why I stand on my head.
In fact it does not cross the mind of the average person that it could possibly have any therapeutic value or indeed any value at all except to establish one as an eccentric. But if radiant good health is the lot of those who practise this Headstand, then 'long live eccentricity' say I.
But the Headstand or Sirshasana has not been called 'The King of Asanas' for nothing. You may wonder why I have waited so long before introducing you to this best known of all Yoga postures. Simply for the very good reason that it is difficult for the beginner to master and I wanted you to limber up with some easier exercises before attempting to balance on your head.
I place the 'King of Asanas' in this chapter on disorders of the respiratory tract because in the relief and cure of such ailments as asthma, bronchitis, hay fever, nose troubles, and sinus troubles it has no equal.
Sinusitis, and allied complaints, often produce severe headaches and acute discomfort in the cavities of the nose and face. It is difficult for doctors to reach these sinuses except by painful and unpleasant means and nasal sprays are of little use as the openings of the cavities are on the upper side and can only be drained when the body is inverted. This is where Yoga, and particularly the Headstand, is of great help.
