Natural and Alternative Treatments - A Holistic Approach In Medicine
my dad has diabetes 2. He is not fat at all hes in great health. He’s in his 40’s. They say he got it from drinking too heavy. Anyway is it true that stress is expecially bad for diabetics. Less stress makes them live longer
I went to the doctor for a check-up and they said I have really high blood pressure… and I’m 15. I’m not overweight so I don’t know what it is. maybe I eat too much salt? maybe it’s stress? they said they have to do blood work on me now, and I’m TERRIFIED of needles. how do I make my blood pressure go back to a normal rate? and any tips on how to handle getting blood taken?
My neck feels tight, and I was wondering how you give yourself a neck massage. If you could tell me how to give someone else a massage too. My husband has a horrible back ace and I want to give him a massage. Thanks every one so much. I will pick a best answer. There is a lot of stress in my family right now.
If your blood pressure is high from stress and you happen to get a nose bleed, what are the risks?
I was on a trip last week and 5 days ago before I back to home I had sex with a lady. I did not notice anything suspicious on her body. Now after 5 days I think Im having some problems. I got backache, little painful balls and there are some reddish, pinkish dots around underarms. I did shave underarms after I back but dots are around underarms. Underarms are clean. And few dots on my chest. My private parts and legs has no sign. I did not kiss that lady. Only suck breasts and lick her clit for a short while. I used a condom. It was first time in my life I slept with a unknown woman. I have no idea what type disase I’d get since its definately not my lifestyle. I hope you can give me some info if i’d get infected even i used condom. How fast HIV can infect and we can see signs? Can signs I mentioned be cos of stress? Should I check it immediately or is too early to detect?
When I was at school, my university doctor diagnosed me with high blood pressure. I took medication (Atenol sp?) for a while before running out and summer vacation starting. I saw my family doctor at home now 3 months into summer vacation, and he said my blood pressure is fine.
I recently decided to log my blood pressure over the past month. Thus far in the morning it’s averaging at 135/79, and at night 136/85. Hypertension starts at 140/90, which it looks like I’m just beneath. My family doctor says im in the 95th percentile for my age in blood pressure, but 95 still in the range that it’s normal…
Should I be getting a third opinion? Could it be higher because of the stress at school? Should I be taking blood pressure meds? I really dont wanna die of a heart attack when I’m 35, so advice is appreciated here.
Just a straight massage, to relieve tension and stress, aromatic herbal massage is a plus.
I’m planning something out for a friend who is stressed to the max. Where should I massage them most to relieve stress? Thanks.
I have been having severe headaches every day. I have been diagnosed in the past with migraines, but I can tell the difference between migraines and just a regular headache and what I’m experiencing is not migraines. I have tried sleeping this off and everything you normally do with a migraine and nothing works. I’ve also taken tylenol, aleve, exedrin migraine, advil, exedrin tension headache and asprin and also have put a cool cloth over my eyes. I have had a lot of stress, which has been reduced so I’m not sure that’s what it is. In addition, I have been having some dizziness mostly when I move my eyes around, nausea (which I bought medicine for) and hot flashes a lot. I sleep with a fan on to help with this. I’ve had 2 CT scans done in the past year, so it’s not anything serious like that. I’m only 24. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on what I could do or what this is?
I’m trying to decide between 2 classes being offered locally: Kundalini Yoga and Hatha Yoga. The course descriptions make Hatha sounds a bit more kinetic, but since I’m new to all this I really don’t know which is best. My goal is to reduce stress and muscle tension.
By the way, I am NOT looking to lose weight.
I like using probiotics to repopulate the healthy intestinal bacteria that die off when antibiotics are used.
But my question is, how much and how long does it take to really put things back in balance? I know that a sign of balance is no yeast infections and good digestion… but those things, for a woman, can also be dependent on the monthly cycle, stress, etc. Some people use probiotics every day; that’s fine too, but I’m curious to know what is necessary to replenish and get your system balancing itself out again.
My mom was hospitalized in January with pneumonia, upon her stay at the hospital she contracted a staph infection. Within a few weeks of leaving the hospital she began having pain all through her body. About a month later when she finally got into the doctor, they ran some tests and discovered that she has rheumatoid arthritis. It just seems strange that she never had symptoms prior to being at the hospital, and now she’s hurting all over every day. I’m afraid that it could’ve been a misdiagnosis, as she is cared for by the VA and they missed my stepdads non hodgekins lymphoma (which thank god was caught at another hospital, thanks to his persistance ) I’m just curious if there are any other conditions that could have been overlooked, or If there are any treatments herbal remedies or anything she can try. I feel so bad for her cause shes active and can’t do things that she wants to do. She also is experiencing anxiety attacks from the stress. Any help would be awesome! Thanks!
Okay well, I think I might have insomnia problems? I am 14 female, I usually can’t fall asleep for around 4-5 hours even if I am tired and the room is silent. Also, I NEVER feel refreshed after sleeping (even if it’s for over 8 hours). I often have other problems too like OCD and I have many fears/phobias which also keep me awake. I do have some stress and lately have been feeling kind of depressed.
Please help!

The only thing I’ve been doing is smoking marajuana or however you spell it.

I’ve been doing a little research on those colon cleansing kits and they seem like the way to go for a healthier system. I work out regularily & have begun eating better. These kits are believed to eliminate toxicity and waste from the body, reduce stress from our vital organs (liver, colon, kidneys, blood, skin, etc.) and support the rejuvenation of the immune system. This all sounds great, B U T…..EXPENSIVE!! I just wondered if anyone knew any safe home remedies that might work as well?
