Remedies | Home Remedies For Fast Heartburn Relief!

Share

Heartburn has increasingly become a chronic condition in modern society. It`s no wonder however. Today we eat greater and greater amounts of processed foods, foods that are little more then chemicals, and pure junk food then we have at any time before in history. We inhale it rather then take the time to chew and savor what we`re eating.

These things have led us to a new condition which I have coined as… Misery after Meal Syndrome, (M.M.S.).

Eating a couple of large meals a day rather then several small meals has greatly aided the increase of M.M.S. Eating foods with lots of fat or dairy in them cause the body to go into overtime with an over production of stomach acid. We then take antacids to alleviate the problem not knowing that this leads to dependency. The body begins to rely on it so it is a never ending circle of heartburn, antacids and heartburn again.

Try these home for heartburn relief and end Misery after Meal Syndrome today!

For good and for heartburn relief invest in a good quality juicer or blender. Juicing and blending carrots and other vegetables and drinking them, not only will give you some great nutrition, but carrots and many other vegetables are alkaline in nature and will help give your body balance and relieve heartburn. This is one of the great home remedies for heartburn and usually works instantly.In Ancient Chinese medicine often know today as T.C.M. or Traditional Chinese Medicine, one of the oldest recorded remedies known to man for heartburn relief is ginger tea. Anyone who has tried this knows it is truly one of the great home remedies for heartburn. Simply grate a teaspoon of ginger root and put into a cup of hot water and let steep for about ten minutes and drink. This simple home remedy has been found to be useful in relieving heartburn, arthritis flare ups and much more.As an remedy for this fast heartburn relief, try Chamomile tea. While this tea is most often used to calm nerves and help people relax, it is also useful for calming ones stomach. Drink a cup of this tea a couple of hours before bed to relieve bedtime heartburn.As a Japanese woman I am often asked what Japanese remedies I would recommend. The two best are umeboshi and nato. Umeboshi is a salty and sour tasting pickled Japanese plum. It is useful in protecting the stomach from spoiled or bad food as well as relieving heartburn. Nato is fermented soy beans. While this food has an odor that is offensive to some it is truly a great food for health. It naturally has probiotics which can help the body digest food and absorb nutrition. You can find these at your Asian market place or at finer health food stores.

A journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step. Make these home remedies your first step to a healthier you.

Flatulence | Herbs For Angina Treatment

Share

What Is Angina?

Angina (angina pectoris) is severe chest pain due to lack of blood (i.e., oxygen) in the heart muscle. The main cause is a coronary artery disease called atherosclerosis, or a clogging of the arteries. Angina typically feels like the chest is being strangled. Severity of symptoms may or may not be associated with fatal heart attacks.

Four types of mainstream prescription drugs are available to treat angina: beta-blockers, nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin), calcium antagonists, and antiplatelet drugs. medicine also offers solutions for treating angina. Below is a summary of the top herbs and herb ingredients based on scientific research.

Bromelain

Bromelain is a mixture of protein-digesting enzymes from the stems of the pineapple plant (Ananas comosus). Bromelain is widely used as a component of digestive enzyme supplements and as an anti-inflammatory and fibrinolytic systemic enzyme for treating arterial blockages.

Study: Experimental dosages of 1000-1400 mg daily led to disappearance of symptoms angina in human patients within 4-90 days, depending on severity of blockage. Symptoms returned when bromelain treatment was discontinued. (Source: Acta Med. Empirica)

Hawthorn (Crataegus species)

Extracts from berries, flowering tops, and leaves are widely used in Europe and Asia for their benefits to heart . Effects are due to substances called flavonoids and oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs).

Study: Crataegus extracts given orally to rats (2 percent of the diet) significantly reduced damage to myocardial cells. (Source: Arzneim. Forsch.)

Study: The main flavonoids from Crataegus led to improved coronary flow, heart rate, left ventricular pressure, and speed of contraction and relaxation in perfused isolated guinea pig hearts. (Source: Arzneim. Forsch.)

Study: Crataegus extract (3.3 percent OPCs) diminished accumulation of lactic acid, thereby improving oxygen utilization, in perfused isolated rat hearts. (Source: Arzneim. Forsch.)

Study: 46 patients were given either a tablet with 100 mg of Crataegus leaves or a placebo. Results were that 46 percent of the Crataegus group showed improved EKG readings within 4 weeks, whereby the control group showed 3 percent improved readings. (Source: J. Tradit. Chin. Med.)

Study: Crataegus leaf extract led to decreased oxygen consumption and improved oxygen utilization and heart function when given to dogs. (Source: J. Tradit. Chin. Med.)

Study: 60 patients with mild stable forms of angina were given either a tablet with Crataegus extract (brand: Crategutt novo) or a placebo 3 times daily. EKG readings under exertion improved significantly in the treated group vs. the control group. (Source: Therapiewoche)

Other Angina Treatment Herbs

Additional research has also shown the beneficial effects for treating angina with the following:

Khella (Ammi visnaga): Commercial supplements are widely available for healthcare professionals. Effects are less than those reported for hawthorn. Active ingredients may have toxic effects at clinical doses.

Astragalus membranaceus (currently correct name: Astragalus propinquus): Widely available in supplement form. Better known as an herb for boosting the immune system. One major Chinese study showed significant benefits in treating heart disease in humans. However, treatment was not with any available oral form.

Terminalia arjuna: Important cardiotonic herb in Ayurvedic medicine. One small clinical study (10 patients) showed significant improvement in several indicators of heart health, including lower frequency of angina.

Remedies | Treating Ptsd With Acupuncture And Chinese Medicine

Share

PTSD, or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, is a condition where the “fight or flight” response in a person becomes altered. It is caused by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms may persist even when the danger no longer exists. Anyone can be affected by PTSD and it can have a crippling effect on your life. It may happen to anyone at any age. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can be very effective in treating the symptoms as well as be an integral part of a patients support network.

There two ways that a person may experience PTSD:

1)A person experiences or witnesses a situation where death or serious bodily harm was threatened to either the patient or others
2)The patient experiences intense fear, helplessness, or horror

PTSD symptoms may include, but are not limited to:

?Flashbacks, hallucinations, illusions, and feeling as if the event is recurring
?Angry outbursts
?Obsessive thoughts
?Stressful, recurring dreams
?Marked distress caused by physical or mental signs that resemble the trauma
?Insomnia
?Inability to concentrate
?A hyper-alert state
?Startling easily
?Irritable Bowel Syndrome

PTSD symptoms can begin immediately after a trauma, or manifest later, possibly even years.

The conventional treatment for PTSD utilizes therapy and counseling, and sometimes medications to help with anxiety, depression, insomnia, and lack of concentration.

Treatment using Chinese medicine and acupuncture involves using points to help stimulate the part of the brain where emotional memories are stored as well as help the patient to steadily process the trauma comfortably and safely. The acupuncture treatment should be gentle enough to begin stimulating the brain, emotions, and begin working through the trauma, without actually triggering any symptoms of panic or flashbacks. This may be accomplished with ear (auricular) acupuncture and various body points to help balance the Qi and calm the mind.

Gentle massage may also be helpful before, during, or after the acupuncture treatment. It may help the patient keep a sense of being “grounded” in their body without triggering any symptoms.

Additionally, formulas may be used to help the patient maintain a feeling of calmness and continue processing the trauma in a safe and effective manner.

All of these treatments can be greatly complemented with conventional talk therapy, journal writing, exercise, yoga, meditation, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), equestrian therapy, and art therapy. The acupuncture will help you begin processing the trauma as well as keep you feeling balanced, while the other therapies can help provide an outlet for working through the trauma. By combining the different therapies with acupuncture, the patient can have a complete support system to help them work though the trauma and become free of the hold PTSD has on their life.

Remedies | Acupuncture And Infertility

Share

Infertility is generally defined as the inability to produce an offspring. With the constant developments in technology, a lot of new solutions to this old dilemma are now available. One can opt to either do intrauterine insemination (sperm is placed inside the female’s reproductive tract), or in vitro fertilization (fertilization occurs outside of the body in a glass dish, also called IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (injection of sperm into the egg). But there is a way to resolve infertility that has been tested by time, and that is acupuncture.

Acupuncture is a part of Eastern medicine that has been around for ages. In acupuncture tips of fine needles are inserted at specific body points in order to treat pain or disease or conditions, such as infertility. Acupuncture establishes healthy body function through restoring the natural circulation of energy by using needles for stimulation. Acupuncture triggers the release of the neurochemical ‘endorphin’ which reduces pain and results to positive mood. Along with that neurohormones and neurotransmitters also flow to the body – these chemicals serve as aids for the healing process.

The use of acupuncture as a cure for infertility has been documented in old Chinese writings of medical nature. Aside from typical needle insertions, it also included exercises to improve energy flow in one’s body. However, because of the modernization of acupuncture, it is now practiced along with other infertility treatments in order to handle issues like hormonal imbalance.

Acupuncture is typically compared to the rehabilitative process of physical therapy. Experts recommend that an ideal fertility treatment should involve combination of acupuncture with medicine and conventional medical interventions. In modern acupuncture women are treated for about three to four months before undergoing another type of infertility therapy such as in vitro fertilization and the like. It is also suitable for women who are about to or has already undergone embryo transfer.

But, similar to other forms of remedy, acupuncture may present a few risks. The biggest gamble when someone is undergoing acupuncture as a supplement with other infertility treatments is the probability of a miscarriage that may be caused by pressing of incorrect points in the expectant mother. This is the principal reason why it is best to have an acupuncturist who has a good knowledge in the treatment of fertility disorders.

Even though there are probable drawbacks, to compensate, modern acupuncture for the treatment of acupuncture has a lot of advantages as well. First and foremost, it efficiently regulates and generally manages the body’s normal functioning due to its result of increase blood flow to the different organs. Secondly, acupuncture assists the progress of the formation of a thick lining in the inner membrane of the uterus as it increases blood flow to it. Thirdly, it improves the functions of the ovaries and follicles.

Another important advantage of acupuncture is its participation in enhancing the success rate of in vitro fertilization. It has been confirmed that there have been quantifiable developments in the process of embryo transfer during in vitro fertilization which results to a greater possibility of pregnancy. In these days some fertility centers and specialists have included the use of acupuncture as a substantial part of their in vitro fertilization treatment.
One other great benefit of acupuncture is its part in the cure of fertility problems such as spasmed tubes. Acupuncture helps de-spasm these troubled tubes.

Still another positive point about acupuncture is that it works well along with herbs in the treatment of various physiological conditions like elevated follicle stimulating hormone (regulates reproductive process of the body), repeated pregnancy loss, luteal phase defect (pregnancy cannot be sustained due to the breaking down of the uterine lining which results to menstrual bleeding and then causes miscarriage), polycystic ovarian syndrome or PCOS (irregular menstrual cycle), sperm-DNA-fragmentation in men and hyperprolactinemia when the cause is other than prolactinoma (presence of abnormally high-levels of prolactin in the blood).

However, though great results have been recorded, it is still best to consult your physician and get their recommendation before trying out acupuncture.
