Medications containing butalbital are some of the most commonly prescribed medicines for the relief of many types of headache such as tension headaches. The drug is usually combined with either acetaminophen or aspirin, and some caffeine. Acetaminophen reduces fever and eases pain. The  caffeine in the drug helps de-constrict blood vessels. The constricted blood vessels are thought to cause tension headaches. The drug itself is classified as a barbiturate. It causes relaxation by slowing the nerve impulses of the brain and central nervous system. When used together, acetaminophen, caffeine, and Butalbital help ease the pain and discomfort of tension headaches, although it’s not clearly understood how.

Butalbital has been used for several decades as an effective pain relief product for mild to moderate headaches, especially tension headaches. Many patients who cannot take Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), opioids, and other forms of pain relief medications find Butalbital as a good substitute.  More than one in five people has at least one tension headache every month. They occur more frequently or become more severe during times of emotional stress. Three people in 100 have one sever headache every other day.  Tension headaches are uncomfortable but they usually last for only a short time. Common symptoms of a tension headache include a general pain which is not limited to one area of the head and a tight feeling around the head or neck or across the eyes.

Tension headaches happen for no obvious reason, but stress and anxiety, tense muscles in the scalp and neck, food, caffeine, bright sunlight, illness, depression, extreme cold or extreme heat, tiredness, noise or smoking are all thought to cause the said discomfort.

Aside from the regular headache medications such as Butalbital, people who suffered from regular tension headaches saw their headache rates drop by almost half when they were given an alternative medication. Researchers also found that this traditional treatment worked well.  

Acupuncture is an alternative therapy based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine. According to practitioners, acupuncture helps channel energy flows around the 12 main organs in the body including the heart, liver, lungs, kidney, and stomach. Acupuncture needles are put in the body at key points. Ancient texts on acupuncture state that the needles unblock or alter energy flow. Acupuncture has become an increasingly popular alternative therapy for a wide variety of ills in the United States and other Western nations in the last 25 years. It is practiced legally in most European countries and in the majority of states in the U.S. and other countries such as Japan and China, which make up about a fifth of the world's population, established acupuncture as a primary form of health care for thousands of years. Acupuncturists in these countries were comparable to that of the physician. Today, acupuncture treatment remains an integral component of the health care system of these two countries, offered with a combination of Western medicine.

Because traditional acupuncture achieved almost the same results as minimal acupuncture, it seems that the location of acupuncture points is not that important. This suggests that acupuncture may relieve tension headaches because patients expect an improvement, what researchers call a placebo effect. The researchers added that acupuncture may be just as effective a treatment for tension headaches as many other accepted treatments. Some believe acupuncture works for tension headaches as a relaxation technique or because it has a placebo effect. In other words, patients feel better simply because they expect an improvement in their health. Others believe that the “needle cure” alters the way that people register pain in the brain.

Natural Lip Balm Vs the Other Kind

Lip balm has been around for over 100 years. But it took a wrong turn right at the beginning. The inventor of lip balm, Dr. C. D. Fleet, started an unfortunate trend by using petroleum jelly in his Chap Stick lip balm, and it's only become clear in recent years just how ineffective petroleum jelly is as a lip balm. At best, since petroleum jelly isn't absorbed by the skin, it provides only a short-term fix for dry, chapped lips. And since it keeps the skin from breathing, it can -- if used frequently -- actually make your lips more chapped. If you’re looking for a lip balm that can actually heal chapped lips you should consider lip balm made with shea butter. Shea butter's effect on the skin is different from that of petroleum jelly. Instead of lying inert on the surface of the lips, it is absorbed by the skin cells. Because it improves the moisture retention capacity of your lips, your lips become dry and chapped much less frequently.

Why Shea Butter Lip Balm Works

In early adulthood, all of our skin cells -- including those in our lips -- begin to become more porous and less elastic. If shea butter -- a substance that both moisturizes the skin and restores the skin cells' elasticity -- is applied to the lips, then not only are the cells hydrated, but they gradually regain their natural elasticity so that they are better able to keep moisture from escaping. Because unrefined shea butter contains both a high moisturizing fraction and an extraordinarily high healing fraction, it is a wonderful agent for revitalizing our skin cells so that they get back their moisture retention capacity.

Why Petroleum-based Lip Balm Doesn't Work

Petroleum-based lip balm doesn't pretend to fix the problem that causes dry chapped lips. Instead, it basically acts as a band-aid -- slightly moisturizing the surface of the lips and trapping the moisture there, thus temporarily making the lips less dry. But to keep your lips moist using petroleum-based lip balm, you need to frequently reapply the lip balm. Well you might as well just lick your lips all the time -- that has the same temporary effect, it's a lot cheaper, and it doesn't run the risk that bacteria will be trapped between the greasy lip balm and the skin, causing further irritation and even infection.

Cause of Chapped Lips

Chapped lips are, of course, the result of our lips being too dry. Everyone experiences dry chapped lips at one time or another, but some of us have a severe and chronic problem. The explanation for severe and chronic dry lips is that our skin has lost its moisture retention capacity. As a consequence, our lips become easily chapped. The chapping further reduces the moisture retention capacity and this vicious circle results in the problem becoming chronic and increasingly severe.  Whether you just have occasional chapping or chronic and severe chapping, shea butter lip balm is a good choice since it enhances the skin’s moisture retention properties.

While some couples are avoiding pregnancy and into birth control pills and expensive methods, for other couples, it is still important to have their own baby. In fact, some couples have been using the latest technology the modern medicine has been offering. According to the National Women's Health Resource Center (NWHRC), five percent of infertility treatments involve in vitro fertilization (IVF) or other kinds of assisted reproductive technologies. It is a method in which a laboratory is used to try to help a couple become pregnant. More than 70,000 babies have been born in the United States using assisted reproductive technologies, including 45,000 born as a result of in vitro fertilization. IVF makes pregnancy possible for more than half of the couples who pursue treatment.

Techniques like IVF made news since the 1970s, however, they are still something of an inexact or inaccurate science. The success rates for each therapy range from as low as 1% to as high as 50%, and a successful pregnancy depends on a variety of factors. It can include the age of the woman, the cause of infertility, and the skill of the technician performing the procedure. One natural procedure that is still very popular today and has said to increase the chances of a woman to become pregnant.

Although modern medical science has failed to conclusively explain just how it works, acupuncture is said to help a couple have a baby. Acupuncture is based in the Chinese belief that a balance in the energy flow known as qi and chi through the body is needed in order to stay healthy. When a blockage or imbalance occurs in that flow, one's health is negatively affected. There are 20 major pathways that qi is believed to travel along and these pathways, or meridians, are accessible through 400 different acupuncture points.
Practitioners of traditional Chinese medicines believe that a variety of energy patterns can interfere with becoming pregnant. Acupuncture works for infertility by increasing the production of endorphins in the brain, which helps people de-stress and relax. The traditional treatment can help stabilize hormone levels for the couple. This can mean increased in sperm production for men and can improve the blood supply in the uterus and the ovaries among women. Doctors believe that integrating acupuncture helps relieve some stress and anxiety that patients may face.
Acupuncture can be used in combination with other Western Medicine treatments for infertility when trying to get pregnant. Acupuncturist Jin Jin Hua claims that the 4,000-year-old practice of using hair-thin needles to penetrate and stimulate organs can work alongside IVF to create a successful pregnancy. It has a surprising success rate of sixty percent among infertile women. And there is some scientific evidence to back this up, said Ms Jin. A German study published in April 2002 showed that 42.5 percent of women who underwent acupuncture, once before and once after the transfer of the embryos in the uterus, became pregnant.
The desired effect of acupuncture is to harmonize the body and bring the body and its systems to an optimal state of wellness. In contrast, using acupuncture as birth control would run counter to those desired effects. Most acupuncturists do not have the level of mastery needed to ensure that acupuncture would be as effective as birth control pills and other traditional forms of birth control.

Learn to love you body and if you are really serious about your body then you obliviously don’t want those extra pound of fat in it. Well people adopt numerous methods like starving and exercising to shed off their excess fats and overcome overweight as well. But its also true that majority of them fail to achieve the desired results. In vain they become either depressed or suffer in anxiety. They see no ways to end their woes.

Burning of weight is not an easy task. Besides maintaing a balanced diet and exercise daily is not an easy affair for everybody. There are certain obligations which may confront their daily life and this may hamper their daily weight loss program. But proper medication along with weight loss program can be very beneficial. One such drug or diet pill that can be very effective is Xenical. Approved by the US FDA as an anti obesity diet pill is helping obese patients loose significant amount of weight and keep them free from fats.

Xenical not only affects one’s appetite but also maintains one’s digestive system. It prevents the body from digesting excess amount of fat present in one’s food. In fact it eliminates the unwanted amount of fat that would have contributed to weight gain. It works on our digestive system by blocking one third of the fat in the food we eat from being digested.

It’s a prescription diet pill and only the doctor can determine the right amount of dose for a particular individual. Generally three doses above 120 mg after 30 mins of every meal are what a doctor suggests. But depending on your obesity situation, the doses may change. First timers may suffer from bowel changes like gas with oily discharge, inability to control your bowel movements, constipation, and indigestion. But no major side affects has been recorded till date. Pregnant women must go for a doctor for its use.

Maintaining a healthy eating plan with a routine exercise in conjunction with Xenical will lead you to a fat free life.

Shiatsu Massage Therapy is a finger-pressure technique that is developed in Japan.  It is gaining much popularity in the holistic world.

Shiatsu Massage Therapy makes use of the traditional acupuncture points (Meridian points) of Oriental healing. The meridian network provides life giving and life-sustaining energy to every part of the human. It is this network that connects all the organs, tissues and cells in the body.  This is in fact, the basis of understanding on how this form of massage therapy work.

By stimulating the meridian points on the exterior of the body, changes can be made internally.  Similar to acupressure, shiatsu concentrates on unblocking the flow of life energy and restoring balance in the meridians and organs.

The Massage Therapist applies pressure with the finger, thumb, palm, elbow or knee to specific areas located along the energy meridians of the skin. Strokes used include tapping, squeezing, rubbing and applied pressure.

The many benefits of Shiatsu Massage Therapy include:

• Deep muscle and tissue relaxation thus relieving back and neck pain, whiplash injury, frozen shoulders, etc.

• Stress reduction and management thus reduces headaches and migranes, pre-menstrual syndrome.

• Releases toxins from the body thus enhances body’s natural detoxification process.

• Prevents diseases eg. gastrointenstinal disorders.

• Increased joint flexibility.

• Improved blood circulation.

• Lowered blood pressure.

• Reduced stress and calms the nervous system.

• Balance of “chi” or life energy .

Shiatsu Massage Therapy aims to help nature performs its work.  Symptoms are not treated specifically.  The goal is to help the whole body and all its body parts function smoothly and work together in a balanced manner, so as to promote self-healing.

Shiatsu Massage Therapy is safe, holistic and effective.  It does not involve the use of drugs, medicines or invasive procedures.  If you are experiencing some health problems, instead of seeing a doctor, you may wish to check out Shiatsu Massage Therapy as an alternative option.

When shin pain occurs during running, the condition is commonly referred to as Shin Splints. However, sports medicine professionals refrain from using the term since it can be misleading. People often assume that shin pain and ‘Shin Splint’ are synonymous terms. However, both may actually be mere indicators of a variety of other conditions. Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome is one of the prevalent skin conditions which have been referred to as ‘Shin Splints’.
 
Gymnasts, Soccer players, dancers, distance runners and military recruits have all been reported to have a high occurrence of Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome. This syndrome is classified according to which shin tissue it affects:

Type one
- This occurs when there is the inside border of the shin bone creates a stress reaction. This stress reaction usually signals a stress fracture.

Type Two

- This type happens when an irritation persists on the point in the shin bone where the Soleus and Tibialis Posterior Muscles are attached.
Commonly caused by overuse, The Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome typically affects people who regularly run on hard and/or uneven surfaces. However, the risk of developing the syndrome may be increased by a range of other factors such as the altered posture of the foot, knee and hip.

Shin Splints Signs & Symptoms

For those afflicted with the Medial Tibial Syndrome, the duration as well as the end of a workout will produce a feeling of pain coming from the inner border of the shin. However, a proper diagnosis of Medial Stress Syndrome may only be made once Compartment Syndrome, Tibial Stress Fracture and other sources of shin pain are effectively ruled out. Confirming the diagnosis will entail a complicated process of investigations. With the supervision of a sports physician or orthopaedic doctor, bone scans and compartment pressure tests may be utilized.

Shin Splints Treatment

What you can do

Ice therapy is an ideal way to give immediate pain relief to the injured person. Applying ice packs directly to the skin may cause ice burns so extra care is needed when implementing this form of treatment. Moreover, pain will be effectively alleviated if the initial treatment of this injury is guided by the PRICE protocol: protection, rest, ice, compression and elevation. As for the ice packs, they must be applied every few hours, for twenty minutes each time. If the pain continues to persist, pain-relieving medicines and anti-inflammatory gels may be used.

In many patients, symptoms are easily treated without surgery. With rest, the patients will also engage on exercises designed to improve their flexibility and strength. Gradually, the symptoms will subside and the patient will be able to return to activities like running. A physiotherapist or podiatrist may also perform a bio-mechanical analysis, a procedure that examines the posture of the shin during rest and while walking as well as running. This analysis will help prevent the recurrence of the injury since it can reveal the factors that may be increasing the patient’s risk to Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome. As a result, measures may immediately be implemented to correct the detected injuries.
A physiotherapy analysis may also detect the presence of muscle imbalance, leg length inequality as well as other causes of mal-alignment.

Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome is also usually caused by other conditions such as that of pes planus or flat-footedness. Another common cause is the pronated foot position, a condition in which running causes the arch of the foot to be lowered involuntarily. This produces pain since the lowered arch increases strain on the Tibialis posterior muscle which in turn pulls on the inside of the shin. This condition and many others can effectively be diagnosed through a bio-mechanical analysis.

Continuing with exercise or any physical activity may worsen any existing shin condition so it is advisable to get a chartered physiotherapist or orthopaedic consultant to assess the shin pain immediately. However, if the patient wants to maintain fitness during treatment of the injury, non-weight bearing exercises in the pool may be ideal. In order to have a low-impact workout while allowing the injury to heal, the patient may opt to use a buoyancy belt in order to do some running exercises in the pool. The buoyancy belt will keep the patient’s feet from touching the floor of the pool, effectively eliminating any possible strain on the injured leg.

In the instance that a doctor finds that the shin pain is actually a soft tissue problem, the patient may uses a compression sleeve. The sleeve will allow them to run while continuing with the treatment of the injury. While running, the sleeve will limit the pull of the muscles on the shin, thus reducing stress. Although compression sleeves do not present s cure, they can reduce symptoms while allowing the runners to engage in some level of physical activity.

If the Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome does not respond to conservative treatment, surgery may be considered.

Shin Splints Prevention

What you can do

Typical of injuries involving overuse, Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome results from untimely participation in excessive physical activity. Physical activity must always increase gradually especially when starting or altering a fitness regimen. For instance, when a runner suddenly decides to run for 10 miles today even though his usual routine calls for only 2 miles of running, he inevitably puts his body at risk. Such a danger can be prevented through the maintenance of a running log.

The use of running shoes with Shock Absorbing Insoles will provide better support and help reduce the stress placed on the shins. Correction of activities like flat feet and fallen arches may also prevent the development of Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome. If fallen arches seem to contribute to shin pain, the Aircast AirLift may be used to provide better support. The Aircast AirLift utilizes aircells which lift the arch of the foot, this results in considerably less pressure on the arch and on the Tibialis Posterior Tendon.

Not all thieves are Jean Valjean. Nor are all thieves the type that wear business suits and spout promises every election year. Just as not all thieves are the same, not every thief steals for the same reasons. Some do it out of necessity, such as the Jean Valjean who merely wanted a piece of bread to satisfy his hunger. Others do it for monetary gain, whether for themselves or for others. Others steal as an act of rebellion or defiance, challenging authority by violating the concept of ownership, a fundamental component of the law. For some, the problem relates to a mental health disorder and they literally can't stop themselves from doing so. When mental health is inextricably linked to someone's stealing, most people would probably not be mistaken in labeling that person as having kleptomania.

Taking the meaning from the translation of the Greek term, kleptomania, is a form of psychosis that causes a person to impulsively steal things. The items targeted are always tangible and are rarely too large for the patient to effectively hide under normal circumstances. There is no concrete data on whether hard monetary value plays any part in the impulse of the person. Most statistics reflect that the items being stolen rarely ever have a pattern to them, though some consistencies have been known to occur. Most experts have come to an agreement that a majority of kleptomaniacs steal “for the sake of stealing,” and only in rare circumstances will monetary value or personal inclinations determine what, exactly, is being stolen.

In general, kleptomaniacs are simply unable to control the impulse to steal objects and active attempts to prevent those impulses often results in overwhelming stress and anxiety. Of course, attempting to prevent it is only possible if the kleptomaniac is actually aware of the theft. In a number of cases, the patient will have no idea that he has stolen an item until after the fact. Legally, kleptomania is not considered a viable defense. This is primarily because kleptomaniacs can be aware that a theft is taking place. Also, there is very little evidence-gathering methods available that can prove whether a person was aware during a theft or not. However, some territories will accept it as a legal defense, provided that the patient has an established history of lack of awareness.

Kleptomania is often seen to be closely associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), though this is not always the case. Most only relate the kleptomania to OCD when the stolen items are being hoarded or kept, which generally connotes that the items were stolen for their actual or potential value, rather than for the sake of being stolen. Some kleptomaniacs exhibit signs and symptoms that point to OCD behavior, but it is often left up to the judgment of the person administering the therapy to determine whether this is a part of the kleptomania or a sign of OCD being in the background. Statistically speaking, a vast majority of cases of kleptomania are actually independent of OCD, with the common percentages of the two disorders coinciding being 2.2 to 5.9 percent.

 For treatment, kleptomaniacs are often subjected to the same methods as pyromaniacs, though geared to better suit the nature of the problem. This means that the most common approach used is cognitive behavior modification, though other methods may also be used. Serotonin-uptake inhibitors can be used as a stand-alone answer, or in conjunction with other techniques. Mood stabilizers have also been used as a means of chemically counteracting the impulses, though results have shown a degree of variance.

Since vitamins occur in all organic material, some containing more of one vitamin than another and in greater or lesser amounts, you could say that if you ate the  0;right ; foods in a well-balanced diet, you would get alt the vitamins you need.

And you would probably be right. The problem is, very few of us are able to arrange this mythical diet. According to Dr. Darnel T. Quigley, author of The National Malnutrition, “Everyone who has in the past eaten processed sugar, white flour, or canned food has some deficiency disease, the extent of the disease depending on the percentage of such deficient food in the diet.”

Because most restaurants tend to reheat food or keep it warm
under heat lamps, if you frequently eat out you run the risk of vita-
min A, B1, and C deficiencies. (And if you’re a woman between the
ages of 13 and 40, this sort of work-saving dining is likely to cost you
invaluable calcium and iron.)

Most of the foods we eat have been processed and depleted in nutrients.
Take breads and cereals, for example. Practically all of them you find in
today’s supermarkets are high in nothing but carbohydrates.

“But they are enriched!” you say. It’s written right on the label:

Enriched.

Enriched? Enrichment means replacing nutrients in foods that once
contained them but because of heat, storage, and so forth no longer do.
Foods, therefore, are “enriched” to the levels found in the natural product
before processing. Unfortunately, standards of enrichment leave much to
be desired nutritionally. For example, the standard of enrichment for white
flour is to replace the twenty-two natural nutrients that are removed with
three B vitamins, vitamin D, calcium, and iron salts. Now really, for the
staff of life, that seems a pretty flimsy stick.

I think you can see why my feeling about taking supplements is clear.
