Natural Remedies by Cher- Relieve Stress and Calm Anxiety

2009-09-11T21:25:45.020-07:00

RELIEVE STRESS AND CALM ANXIETY--(Herbal Remedies)
I don't think there is one adult, or maybe even student or child out there who hasn't suffered from stress or anxiety in one form or another. We all live fast paced lives and sometime the demands of being a mother/father, student or even a child feeling the stresses of life, can cause us problems. From neck pain to headaches to anxiety and panic attacks, lack of sleep etc...I probably could make a very long list, but that would just stress me out.... One of the best ways to reduce stress is with a proper breathing technique. Now I know most of you out there are saying, yeah, I've tried it , it doesn't work and I say you may be right, but I said the same thing until I did it right. It takes some self training and patience, but when done often it becomes second nature. The best breathing exercise is simply this , no matter where you are, you can do this. Breathe in for a count of 5, the breath should come deep from your abdominal area and fill your lungs in through your nose. Then hold for a count of five, 10 would be better, but make sure you don't pass out, then let it out slowly through your mouth. Repeat this as many times as you like, but don't hyperventalate (that is feel dizzy and can't catch your breath) Now when we are stressed we don't breathe right, our breaths become shorter and don't help us to relax. Also when the breaths are shorter your body isn't lacking oxygen at that time you are lacking carbon dioxide. So when you hold your breath, the more carbon dioxide your body is holding and this calms you down and relaxes you. You see, its not too hard and it can do wonders for your body and mind!

IS THE DOCTOR ALWAYS RIGHT? by Cher

2009-07-30T14:59:45.760-07:00

IS THE DOCTOR ALWAYS RIGHT?

I have been to the doctor on many occasions for various reasons, as most of us have.

I have had decent doctors and others who should just turn in their licence's.

It is always good to seek medical opinions before using a herbal remedy, I think in allot of occasions the best way to go is straight from the doctors office to a naturopath, chiropractor, acupuncturist , or sometimes, just a good massage therapist.

I will give an example of just such an occasion for me:

I was off to work one morning, stepped out the front door and slipped right down the stairs.

Pain is a word which least described what I felt. I was hurt yes, but I figured I was probably just bruised. So I left it a couple of days, knowing I didn't break anything. The pain got worse and I was feeling horrible, crying in pain, and knowing I had to see a doctor I called to book an appointment.

Of course , my doctors office has a special type of rule, you can only book 2 days in advance and this doctor really shuns walk ins, so I called to book, no dice, I couldn't get in, would have to call back the next day to book for 2 days down the road. I was in pain!

I called the docs office straight through, and got the nurse who reluctantly let me come down that day.

Crying in the office, because I was in such pain, my daughter sitting beside me, I told the doctor of what happened , so he could understand the situation. He flat out told me, I couldn't be in as much pain as I was, crying was over the top according to him, and there was no way I could have injured myself in the manner of which I described. Then he wrote a prescription for pain killers and sent me on my way.

First off, the rudeness was uncalled for, he didn't diagnose me correctly and I left with a stupid script for pill of which I couldn't take anyway, and I had told him so, he ignored me.

I left there, went straight to a chiropractors office, and the doctor had my pain down to a minimum, told me of stretches I could do to help , and suggested I see a physio therapist as I had hurt the muscle and ligaments.

Within 3 days of seeing the chiropractor , my pain was totally gone and I was on my way to mending.

This experience was just one of many I've had with this doctor, I am not suggesting anyone not see a doctor first, but have the brains to know when something is just not right, and seek another opinion.

I hope all your days are pain free, and hassle free!

Cher's Spot Natural Cures, Headaches

2009-07-15T12:10:47.770-07:00

Cher's Spot Headaches, Natural Cure

Most of us know what Headaches are all about, and for those who do, we know how much they can hurt! Headaches can be caused by many different things and have different severities. If a Headache or a Migrane persists PLEASE SEE A DOCTOR!.

Now onto the different things you can do to help alleviate a headache.
There is the Advil/Tylenol way , Advil usually works the best as it has an antiflammatory medication within. Please make sure you aren't allergic.

You can alleviate a headache with a cold compress, bath, acuperssure and relaxation techniques. You should minimize your exposure to external stimuli, exercise in fresh air and don't smoke or drink alcohol.

Create a soothing environment, free of light and noise. Ventilate the room, open window if it is not too noisy, use a fan, but don't blow it directly onto you. Consciously try to relax, preferably with the aid of a relaxation technique, such as yoga.

Acupressure can help, just use your thumb and index finger to press against the bridge of your nose at the corners of your eyes. Or, rub the center of the fleshy webbing between your index finger and thumb. This ususally helps very quickly

Try a soothing footbath
Heat up the water often, do this for about 20 min and after soaking your feet, pour in cold water until the temperature is lukewarm. Put on wool socks and lie down for about 20 min.

Try out these techniques, one is bound to work!

Facial Masks by Cher

Facial Masks By Cher
The skin, by far the largest organ of the human body. It is also extremely sensitive to external factors, such as the sun, and weather. Also emotional influences like stress. If we want to look young and not show the wrinkles of time and stress, we should take care of ourselves.

I will list just a few facial masks you can do at home to help beautify yourself without spending alot of money.

Strawberry Mask
4-5 very ripe, medium sized strawberries
2 tsp. heavy cream
1 tsp. honey

1. Carefully rinse strawberries in lukewarm water, and dry with a clean cloth or towel.
2. In a small bowl, mash the fruit with a fork.
3. Add the cream and honey, and mix well
4. Apply the paste generously to the face and throat, keeping it away from the eyes
5. Leave the mask on for 20 -30 min.

***People with sensitive or sunburned skin could have an adverse reaction to strawberries. Test on a small area first to assess your skin's reaction.

***Strawberries stimulate the skin

Whole-Wheat -Flour Mask
1qt. water
4tsp. dried or 8 tsp fresh rose petals
peels from 1-2 organic oranges
2-3 tbsp. milk
2 tbsp. rose water
2 tsp. honey
4 tbsp. whole wheat flour

1. Boil the water and remove from the heat. ADD the rose petals and orange peels, cover, and allow to steep until lukewarm or cool.
2. In a separate pan, heat the milk, floral water and honey, remove from the heat. Add the flour and whisk into a thick paste.
3. Apply the warm paste uniformly to the face and neck. Leave on for 15-20 min.
4. Carefully wash off the dried mask with the fragrant rose-orange water. Pat dry.
5. Apply your favorite moisturizing cream to the skin.

***Whole wheat flour protects and renews skin
***Honey relaxes the skin

Take a night and relax...maybe get the girls/boys together and all do it. Sounds like a good night to me!

Vitamin Deficiency-Cher's Spot

2009-06-25T08:00:23.154-07:00

Vitamin Deficiency-Cher's Spot
Every cell in the body relies on a sufficient supply of vitamins to do its job. Vitamins perform many functions. They promote, blood formation and healthy skin, hair and vision wellness, they help to maintain nerves and muscles and they aid in the release of energy from foods. Recent research suggests that some vitamins can even help prevent certain disorders, such as cancer, cataracts, arthritis and heart disease. While most of you vitamins should come from your foods a vitamin supplement is never a bad thing. They can aid you with what you aren't getting out of your everyday eating habits. Cigarettes, coffee, alcohol and birth control pills all rob the body of essential vitamins. The first signs of a Vitamin Deficiency are fatigue, irritability and anxiety. Over time the immune system will weaken.

What you can do: While there is no substitute for a healthy diet of fruits, vegetables, grain and legumes. You can supplement your diet with the proper intake of vitamins.

To make things simple a good multivitamin is usually a good way to go, however if you are deficient in certain areas your doctor can recommend other supplements to take on top of your multivitamins.

Vitamin A promotes Healthy skin;heart----you can get this by eating 1 med carrot per day
Vit D : Bone formation-3 1/2 ox avocado
Vit E : Cell protection-1 tbsp wheat germ oil
Vit K : Blood coagulation-1/2 cup parsley

Vit B6: Strengthens nerves-2 large bananas
Vit B12: for red blood cells-3 1/2 oz of salmon
Vit C : for immune system, wound healing, cell protection-2 cups fresh raspberries
Folic Acid: for cell formation, fights heart disease, birth defects-2 cups asparagus
Niacin: for energy metabolism-5 oz chicken breast
Pantothenic Acid: for the central nervous system-10 cups skim milk
Riboflavin-fights fatigue-3 cups nonfat yogurt
Thiamin: Strengthens muscles, heart, nerves-5 oz. pork loin

There are many supplements out there that can aid you with vitamin intake, but please eat right that is your best and strongest fight to a healthy life. Don't forget to exercise!

Chers Spot-Bladder infection cure!

2009-05-25T11:16:06.482-07:00

The greatest bladder infection cure!
You can get it at a health food store or online from several different places.
It is a sugar that your body can't really digest so it goes directly into your urinary tract (Kidneys/bladder/the works) and the bacteria causing the UTI attaches itself to the sugar rather than your body and flushes the bacteria out the next time you urinate.
Some people have re-ccuring UTI's , but since since this cure, it is no longer a painful problem.

D-mannose will work for about 90% of bladder infections out there (because not all UTI's are caused by bacteria)so if you have a bladder infection, this will probably work for you.
It's helped many people and it can help you too.
D-mannose is about $10.00, and if you feel a bladder infection coming, just take one a day for a few days and that's it!
Google D-mannose for better information. You won't regret it!

Memory Loss-Natural Cures

2009-05-17T19:28:03.513-07:00

MEMORY LOSS

We all have a moment when we forget something during the day.
Usually it's something simple, such as our keys. Day to day living can get to us at times, we put it off to stress, sometimes we decide that we are just plain loosing it! When in fact its our diet! You are what you eat is the saying and it is more true than we realize.
Over processed foods, fast foods, grab and go foods, we simply don't get the nutrients our body's need to combat daily living and be healthy at the same time. Now some tips for enhancing our memories, and please what ever you do don't use those energy drinks, they do more damage than good. Fruits , vegetables and nuts, spinach, blueberries, salmon, mackerel, and yes eggs! Garlic, cinnamon, apples, curry, tea, oatmeal, leafy greens, lentils, and fish.
These are all so called "brain foods". Each one has a specific thing within the food that helps our memories to work properly.
I will give examples instead of listing each one, because that would just overwhelm you and I.

Blueberries, for example, they contain photchemicals called anthocyanins, which is what gives them their blue hue. These act as a strong antioxidant and according to studies improve age-related deficits in neuronal signaling, in other words, it helps you to think clearer.
Fish, the best brain food out there.
Now I know there are worries about the mercury in some types of fish, but if you are careful to watch where the fish comes from, try to keep to Canadian, Alaskan, and U.S. caught fish, the others are the worry for mercury.
Fish have a tremendous amount of fats, healthy ones, that not only benefit your diet, but help your brain to work at its best. Always supplement your diet with a multivitamin/mineral, because the brain is so complex that proper care and feeding remain a bit mysterious, just for added insurance take your multi-vitamins! So have a Garlic, cinnamon, fish, blueberry shake and it'll all be good........just kidding, yuck!
Supplement your diet with the proper foods and watch your memory improve daily!

Natural Cures by Cher-Money and Stress

2009-05-17T19:27:44.681-07:00


Moderate Stress by Cher
We all think that people with money are the only ones who can live a stress free life. We all wish we had more money to help make our stress go away. Well my friends, there are ways to help your stress levels without breaking your pocket book, or having to be wealthy.
I will agree with all of you out there, that money does help. Yes, but more money only brings on different stresses. Then you have to pay someone to help you reduce those stresses.
Getting to the point.....You can go see a masseuse...if you can't afford one, as I can't. Take a nice warm bath, or shower. Fill your bathroom with smells you enjoy, and or music you love. Take time for yourself, no matter how unimportant you may think it is. Everyone must take time for themselves as much as possible. Take quiet time, to read a book, to just sit and relax. I must say though, watching a movie or T.V. doesn't count, because you are focused on something else, and those things you need to work out, are still at the back of your mind. Try to make sure that the time is yours, and only yours. It doesn't have to be that long, 1/2 hour at the least. But try to do it often.
Most of us out there, live for others. Parents for their kids, others for their parents, some for others in the community who need help. You must remember yourself though, because without that time for yourself, how will you be able to care for others.
That bit of time you spend on yourself, will pay off in great stress relief in the end, and may even rejuvenate you enough to do that little extra, for you, for someone else you've been thinking about .
Here's to a less stress day!

Natural Cures by Cher-Christmas Stress

2009-05-17T19:27:28.365-07:00

RELIEVE STRESS AND CALM ANXIETY--(Herbal Remedies) I don't think there is one adult, or maybe even student or child out there who hasn't suffered from stress or anxiety in one form or another. Christmas is the absolute worst time for Stress. We all live fast paced lives and sometime the demands of being a mother/father, student or even a child feeling the stresses of life, can cause us problems. Money, at this time of year, becomes a factor, as well as what to buy for whom and all those crowds. From neck pain to headaches to anxiety and panic attacks, lack of sleep etc...I probably could make a very long list, but that would just stress me out.... One of the best ways to reduce stress is with a proper breathing technique. Now I know most of you out there are saying, yeah, I've tried it , it doesn't work and I say you may be right, but I said the same thing until I did it right. It takes some self training and patience, but when done often it becomes second nature. The best breathing exercise is simply this , no matter where you are, you can do this. Breathe in for a count of 5, the breath should come deep from your abdominal area and fill your lungs in through your nose. Then hold for a count of five, 10 would be better, but make sure you don't pass out, then let it out slowly through your mouth. Repeat this as many times as you like, but don't hyperventilate (that is feel dizzy and can't catch your breath) Now when we are stressed we don't breathe right, our breaths become shorter and don't help us to relax. Also when the breaths are shorter your body isn't lacking oxygen at that time you are lacking carbon dioxide. So when you hold your breath, the more carbon dioxide your body is holding and this calms you down and relaxes you. You see, its not too hard and it can do wonders for your body and mind!
Try to have a stress free Holiday Season!

Natural Cures by Cher-Liquorice

2009-05-17T19:27:12.611-07:00

Liquorice Root

Liquorice, Glycyrrhiza glabra, is a purple and white flowering perennial, native of the Mediterranean region and central and southwest Asia. It is cultivated
for the sweet taproot that grows to a depth of four feet (1.2 m).

At all times, liquorice was used less as a spice than as a medicine. Its use against the diseases of the upper respiratory tract dates back to ancient Egypt. The main part of the plant used in medicine is the root. This root is a gentle relaxant, soothing to mucous irritations, and most like its sweet taste and it masks the sharpness / pungency / taste of other remedies.
Ayurevda
recommends the root as beneficial in the treatment of coughs, colds, and other bronchial irritations. The root may be chewed as throat lozenges; or prepared as infusions by removing the outer bark and boiling for several minutes, to relieve hoarseness and coughs. It is popular among singers as a lozenge.


Liquorice is a good overall help/cure for the common cough/cold, give it a try its cheaper than a cold medicine and hasn't any side effects.

Natural Cures-by Cher-Precautions

2009-05-17T19:26:36.360-07:00

Natural Cures by Cher
Precautions

Herbs can be powerful sources of medication. In fact, herbs are often the point of origin for many medications currently on the market.
The primary difference is that by using unprocessed herbs, you may be receiving an inconsistent level of the active ingredient from dosage to dosage, and/or from use to use.


Be aware that just as with synthetic drugs, herbal remedies may also have side effects, and used in combination with other natural and synthetic medications may have other or additional unintended effects.

There may be networked systems that allow pharmacists to check that drugs you are taking don't conflict, but there is no such system that tracks herbal usage, if you are self-medicating. If you toss herbal remedies into the mix and do not notify your medical professional, you may be entering a dangerous zone.


I will suggest that you keep a journal of what you are trying, the amounts and the effects it is having, and share it with your medical practitioner (Physician, Naturopath, Herbalist etc.) so that s/he can take that into account when prescribing a course of action.


Suggested data to track include:
date:
item taken: (internal/external)
amount:
reason:
noted results:


If you follow this, it may be easier for you to track what works for you and what doesn't.

Have a great day!

Natural Cures-Ginseng

Natural Cures----Ginseng

I'm sure by now all of you out there, or at least most of you have heard about Ginseng. Mostly marketed as a memory enhancer. It does other good things as well, but how do we use it?
Ginseng is one of the most famous of the Chinese herbal remedies, and has been claimed to be a cure-all. It has increased in popularity in the western cultures quite recently, but most people aren't using it correctly.
First off, Ginseng is helpful for combating exhaustion and difficulties in concentrating. Ginseng tonic, is sometimes taken to boost the immune function and the herb also helps to speed recovery after an illness, and help to lift mood and help fight mild depression.

How to use it:
It comes in many forms, the purest being the plant or root itself, but you can buy it in caplets and pill form over the counter at just about any pharmacy. I do recommend that you look for the purest version, try a health food store.
There are 2 main varieties of ginseng, whit and red. Only the root is used for healing purposes. White ginseng is simply the peeled , dried, bleached root. The more costly red ginseng is gotten by treating the freshly harvested roots with steam, then drying them slowly in the sun.

Now you can make Ginseng Tea, Tonic, in a bath, as a nutritional supplement.
For the Tea:
Pour 1 cup of boiling water over 1 tsp. of grated ginseng. Steep for 10 min. then strain. The tea helps to sharpen concentration even in elderly people.

Tonic: Take 20-30 drops of ginseng tonic (sold in health-food stores) daily. It may prevent heart disease and can also raise low blood pressure.

Bath: Simply add grated ginseng root to your evening bath. Sit down deeply into the water and this will help you to relax after a long day, and sleep better than ever.

Nutritional Supplement: Save your money, use the root, grate it and add it to foods it's just as effective as taking a supplement. If you cannot find the root, buy the supplement and take it daily.

Ginseng is native to Korea and parts of China. It is only rarely found growing in the wild, but is widely cultivated in much of Asia.

Try Ginseng, it can do wonders for your brain and body!
