Homeopathic Medicines

Natural TreatmentThe benefits of homeopathy and alternative medicine
lifestyle and stress that we make often suffer many disorders that were once casual. Homeopathy’s starting point the need for both physical and psychological well-being, so that when treating a particular disease practitioners professionals take into account all the characteristics of the patient and not just the symptoms it have.

Homeopathy is an alternative therapy to traditional medicine that is embodied in small doses of natural substances that can come from either plants, animals or minerals. It is a gentle yet effective method with which you can solve a multitude of disorders and avoid the dreaded side effects that cause many drugs.

therapeutic technique that has over 200 years old. Although previously used, was the German Samuel Hahnemann who discovered how to properly prepare and use these remedies. Homeopathy seeks that the body itself, using small amounts of healing substances are self-stimulation and get a cure, without acting as aggressively as they do most of the drugs. And this has been the research that went on to get the so-called homeopathic medicines.

It is based on natural substances that have been diluted many times in order to get a very mild but effective turn. Homeopathy is based on the law of similarity, which consists of administering small doses would be toxic in large quantities for the patient and may cause ill. That is, how to cure the symptoms produced by those who are sick, but in quantities so small that our bodies just perceived. In this sense, this alternative follows the same mechanisms as vaccines.

In the words of Rafael F. Callejo, Unicist homeopathy specialist, homeopathic techniques are “a holistic therapeutic approach that studies the patient when he has the disease and not the other, and is a drug (simillimum) representing their condition and reactivates the healing in your body.” He adds that “the discovery of the remedy is through a comprehensive study of the patient.”

This medical therapy is well spread throughout the world. Today, more than 80 countries use more or less regularly, although the regulation and the type of treatments vary widely by region. In addition, homeopathy has some detractors who do not consider it a medical technique. And is that the lack of studies demonstrating its effectiveness is really what has led many medical specialists wary of the credibility of homeopathic techniques.

To Callejo, “Homeopathy is a therapy reactive, ie, the body repairs its own injury or dysfunction.” The expert says that “drugs are a coercive therapy, which in some cases, oppose or block the symptom not the cause that produces it.” With this in mind, the homeopath claims that homeopathy has many advantages,? The simillimum balance throughout the body without side effects, no need very high doses or prolonged in time and can be used at any age, as is very aggressive. ”

However, our specialist accepts the criticism, “its effectiveness is not 100%, but studies supported by medical institutions in various countries show that has a healing effect superior to placebo.” This refers to those who cross out homeopathy as a simple act? Deception? for the body. This is not a miracle drug, and this is seen as? Not work the same way in all patients, some people are more sensitive in that homeopathy produces a greater healing effect, “says the professional.

homeopathic techniques dolorLas woman first thing they do is analyze why the causes that have led the patient to suffer a particular disease. It is a therapy that can be used in many cases. To cite some conditions where it has a high efficiency, we could refer to anything related to the nervous system such as anxiety, depression or behavioral disorders. However, the validity of homeopathy is not limited to mental disorders, but may have an impact on almost every part of our body. The most common processes from eye problems to treat diseases of the respiratory or digestive system. According Callejo, “is recommended in all cases where there is no destruction of tissue, organs or functions.”

For proper management and to bring about the best possible results, it is very important that the medication has been prescribed by a medical specialist. It will probably recommend us take in the morning before eating anything and before we had washed the teeth, as odor-producing substances that may cause the medicine to lose its effectiveness. To ensure its validity, it is advisable to wait about ten minutes before eating anything. It is also important to eliminate coffee from your diet during treatment, since caffeine acts as an antidote, but we can replace our breakfast in a tea or decaffeinated.

píldorasLa boat homeopaths great concern is that, not being regulated properly, can be confused with non-professional therapies of dubious reliability and great. Callejo concludes that “homeopathy should be performed by health experts who have studied the materials needed to know how and why bodies fall ill and what are the chances of healing as well as conventional treatments and their adverse effects.”

This practice is becoming more popular and many universities offer it as a possible medical specialization. However, the objectives set by the majority of homeopaths focus on getting to be considered as a resource for medicine and can be prescribed like any other traditional medicine.

Aromatherapy

Herbal Medicinebottles aromatherapy is the use of so-called essential oils of plants to cure disease and prevent others, improving our health. It is a therapeutic discipline that has borne much fruit through its development. Although this is an ancient practice has been rediscovered in this century and now stands as one of the pillars of cosmetic medicine and unconventional.

As its name implies, this technique uses scents to achieve therapeutic goals. For treatments, we proceed to the distillation plant, a process that picks up the healing substance: essential oils.

‘the soul of the plant’, and are the means by which they transmit their natural properties. Are extracted with the processing plant to be relevant by distillation, which captures the odorant. Among their applications, highlights the value at the time of flavoring or flavor drinks such as tea, coffee and alcoholic liquors, but also are essential ingredients in the perfume industry and cosmetics, used in many products.

The ease with which our skin to absorb the active components can penetrate directly into the body, balancing and harmonizing the entire system. That is why we have a key importance in medicine, used to relieve pain or natural basis of many medications.

balls of oil it healing and relaxing properties are immense, since almost all of these oils have a medical application or aesthetics. To give some examples, talk about lavender as a calming plant, able to reduce insomnia and some pain, or stimulating aspects of the essence of lemon. Other spices such as cinnamon, known as a great aphrodisiac, or mint, which eases vapors used in the respiratory system when we have a cold, have their signs that help our body.

According to the way in which these oil paintings are delivered, the reactions in the body and the human mind will vary. Thus, if the rose through massage improves digestion and blood circulation, dissolved in water to bathe is able to solve some stress-related disorders.

bañoPodemos set to enjoy the healing properties of essential oils, either by inhalation, through our skin surface in the form of massage or baths, ingestion, or even have pendants or necklaces that release of such substances making our skin receives.

If we want to enjoy the advantages offered aromatherapy in the market there are a variety of oils and incense to burn, in addition to perfume our homes, get us feel better, of course, depending on the properties of the substance we use . For dermal application, however, advised not to self medicate and go to a specialized center that will guide us. But, yes there are some cosmetics that can be purchased at health food stores, such as gels or creams, which do not harm our health.

aguaSegún feet on estimates of World Health Organization, at least 80% of the world’s population relies primarily, if not entirely, of natural medicines and treatments. Even in industrialized countries, almost half of the drugs doctors prescribe us come from such sources. Currently, in the first world there is growing interest in these drugs. In fact, not only drugs, but many drugs are made from ingredients from nature and some are synthetic copies or artificially modified varieties of natural chemicals.

In addition, there is increasing concern about the frequency and severity of unwanted side effects and resistance that often develops in front of the body to many drugs. This has given rise to increased sensitivity by the ties of interdependence among all living organisms and the appreciation of the philosophies of healing through biological medicines.

Precautionary Measures Before Traveling

Health Careman riding exotic destinations have recently become one of the stars of tourism and a good source of business. Many of the tourists are attracted to intercontinental travel on vacation, and find them wonderful places and remote cultures. South American jungles, tropical coasts, the savannas of Africa or Asia the most remote landscapes are some of the most favorite destinations of international tourism.

The problem is that most of these countries survive many diseases that are now eradicated in developed countries. A dream trip can become a nightmare if we do not take certain precautions.

planning any journey, we must inform us of the characteristics of each country, data we collect from our travel agency or, in the case of free travel, we get the relevant embassies. Although you can not qualify an entire country as dangerous, if there are regions with a higher risk than others. This is the case of sub-Saharan Africa and parts of West Africa and parts of South America and Southeast Asia (Malaysia and Indonesia). The traveler has to take note of the indications to be followed regarding health precautions and vaccinations to be taken before and after a trip.

After a correct, we must turn to inoculate the International Vaccine Centre we can find in all the provincial capitals, as these are the ones where we get the vaccination card needed to access many countries and without which they can deny us the airport of destination. So if you have in mind a trip like this is important to start preparing at least one month in advance, since many vaccines require a minimum time in order to have the desired effect.

The duration of the stay outside the country of origin is also crucial to solving the type of vaccine and how it is administered. If we are in an exotic area less than a fortnight, in an urban area and hotels within pre-established tourist routes, there is a relatively low risk. The danger increases when the estancias take longer than three weeks and the tourist departs from the usual routes.

The yellow fever vaccine should be administered if you travel to Africa and South America, although in cases such as pregnant women and children under nine years is contraindicated. This injection is capable of immunizing over 10 years. Treating hepatitis A and B is also very common, depending on the recommendations of your physician.

already disappeared in the First World as meningitis type A and type C, are today being dangerous in northern India, Nepal, Bhutanese, Pakistan and sub-Saharan Africa. The vaccine is only needed for cases where the traveler stays in a foreign country more than a month, especially if you intend to reside in rural areas and in close contact with the local population.

In Bangladesh, Bolivia, China, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Mexico, India, Philippines and Thailand are also advised rabies vaccine, because in those places can not be achieved and it is advisable to administer it before running any risk. Veterinarians, zoologists and speleologists are most exposed to this type of infection.

There are diseases peculiar to exotic countries are also very dangerous, such as sleeping sickness, cholera, viral hemorrhagic fevers, typhoid, tuberculosis and malaria. Cholera is precisely the one that causes increased mortality. If there is an outbreak at the resort, we must take extra precautions with food and water, as this is the most common means of transmission.

Administer doxycycline can protect the body from infection from ten to fourteen days. In the case of pregnant women, it is best to leave the area, as doxycycline can not be prescribed during pregnancy. The World Health Organization (WHO) publishes every year an epidemiological bulletin warning of countries at risk of this disease, as well as plague and yellow fever.

One of the most common problems for tourists is suffering from diarrhea and gastroenteritis, mainly because by ingesting food or drink into disrepair. The water, even drinking bottled water has to be provided and, if possible, opt for brands. Most viruses are found in the water, so this precaution we can avoid many complications. We use bottled water not only for drinking, even for brushing our teeth or personal hygiene.

agualosa bottle of food taken in the street are usually cooked without sanitary precautions, so it is best to go to restaurants where the degree of safety is maximized. The fruits must be peeled when they are consumed, and vegetables, meats, fish and seafood must be well washed and cooked. It is also important to look at the warranty of pasteurization, a process necessary to remove bacteria and germs, when consuming dairy.

Between 20 and 60% of tourists who travel to tropical areas suffer from traveler’s diarrhea, a problem that is common in the Middle East, India and Africa. To guard against the best, while avoiding certain foods can make sparkling water and hot tea to keep the best possible way our digestive system. In turn, we will avoid making ice cream in the street and drink with ice cubes, we do not know where it comes from the water they contain.

medicine cabinet when you pack, we must also remember to take along a small kit with some basic drugs. Analgesics, antihistamines, antibiotics, antispasmodics and antidiarrheals are essential for tourism in the tropics. In addition, the kit will add some tools such as scissors, sterile gauze, adhesive tape, bandages and a thermometer.

We also need to prevent bites, so repellent products and medicines that soothe the sting venom should not olvidársenos. Avoiding departures at dusk and dawn, and covering our bodies as possible, avoid greater evils that are transmitted by mosquitoes and other insects.

In any case, prevention is the best way to ensure that holidays do not become a bad experience.

Vaccines

Health Carevaccines have led to significant progress in preventing some of the most common diseases. With a simple injection lifetime we immunized against certain disorders that previously could be deadly. In Spain, this procedure is compulsory and free, and were administered to small following a routine vaccination schedule.

This process usually culminates in adolescence. It is very important that parents are aware of the vaccines for their children and be aware that this is a must when it comes to protecting your baby. Thus, there is a vaccination record to be completed with each immunization.

Vaccination is an invention that has its roots in the late nineteenth century, and today it is absolutely essential. Diseases virtually unknown today, was once the cause of high rates of infant mortality. Vaccines today cure infectious disorders in the past caused epidemics that severely reduced as the population. Its effectiveness is assured, and most offer immunity forever.

In industrialized societies, this medical procedure is greatly expanded, reaching across the board to all sectors of the population. In Spain, since 1994, the Advisory Committee on Immunization under the tutelage of the Spanish Association of Pediatrics, is what determines the immunization schedules. But if for us is a common technique, do not forget to underdeveloped countries, where thousands of children die every day could be saved with a simple injection. Indeed, vaccination is one of the most important pillars for many NGOs.

Vaccines work by a simple method. Basically it is put into your body infectious agents of a particular disease in a state of attenuated or killed. When our body detects these little invaders, causing acts against them an attitude of defense that achieves exhausted. In this way we generate defenses and are prepared to not be affected by the disease if the virus.

Today, the list of disorders for which there is a vaccine is quite extensive, and it is important to know whether our children are protected for each of them:

Poliomyelitis is a disease that affects the nervous system and can cause paralysis in the arms and legs and even on the respiratory system, causing the death of the affected. The vaccine is administered several times since the age of two months

Diphtheria: a respiratory disease that can cause severe problems in the throat, mouth and nose, which can result in death from asphyxiation. It is administered as a single vaccine that is also pertussis and tetanus, in various doses for children, including booster shots every 10 years throughout life.

Pertussis: the disease is spread from one child to another through the air. The victim may die from asphyxiation due to major causes coughing.

Tetanus is caused by germs that can infect wounds, making the virus enters the body causing muscle problems that can worsen if not treated properly, affecting breathing.

Rubella: This disorder is especially harmful to children, but in the case of pregnant women may cause serious problems in the fetus. With two-dose childhood immunization is achieved. It is an injection that protects against measles, mumps and measles.

Mumps: Mumps called, affects the salivary glands and can be very painful, but usually does not involve great risks to the child. In extreme cases, if not properly medicines may cause sterility in men.

Measles: it is quite common in childhood. This is a virus that causes spots on the skin, fever and cough. If not stopped its advance may be the cause of serious disorders that can cause death.

Hepatitis B affects the liver and, if not properly treated, can lead to serious liver problems and even death. It is a modern vaccine. Those who have not been vaccinated in childhood, may not adequately immunized.

Haemophilus influenzae Type B is an infection that is spread by direct contact and that is causing serious complications in vital organs. Should be immunized from both liquid and aaguja four months and deliver a higher dose around the year of age.

Quit Smoking for the New Year

Stop SmokingThe beginning of the year always seem exciting, looking at January as the month opens the door to all these new projects we want to undertake. Although probably most of those purposes remain in the pipeline, what we want to do and not do may be the ideal way to start 2012 with the best foot possible.

Dieting, go to a gym, this workshop aimed at both … we would like the list can be infinite, but surely we are getting something else in mind is the desire to quit smoking.

In recent years, there are many people who have gotten rid of this bad habit, the effects have become one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Indeed, health stands as one of the main reasons to quit smoking, but not enough to tell us that it is harmful, the first step is to want to quit smoking, “it’s worth noting that there are therapies and medications if we’re not really convinced of wanting to quit, “said Maria Angeles Planchuelo, President of the National Committee for Smoking Prevention (NPTC).

With this in mind, choosing our fundamental reason is, whether for health, beauty, money, respect for others or simply to feel better about ourselves. After that, ideally, “take the decision in the near term in time”, ie set a fixed date in our calendar, Planchuelo said.

Even as the person with greater strength of will in the world, let go of snuff is never easy. Fortunately, much progress has been made in the techniques and therapies that will help us forget our addiction. From the NPTC advise “approach to healthcare, and that smoking, like any other disease, requires an accurate diagnosis to begin treatment.”

During the process, is performed passing track address both the physical part, which would be the dependence of our body to snuff, as the psychological and social. For the latter, M ª Ángeles Planchuelo recalls that “it is very important to follow the guidance of a therapist, we will face our service in a gradual and constant.” It is also particularly important to let others know that we are leaving, to avoid misunderstandings that can make us fall back into addiction.

You think it’s not just a beating process is completed, but we can help to cope with more optimism:

- Considers that let you increase your self esteem and little by little, you’ll go feeling better.

- Become let the idea of relying on something, which will increase your freedom.

- With the money you save, treat yourself and give yourself a treat once in a while.

- Please note that you will stop disturbing others and be a good example for your children.

- Say goodbye to bad smells in clothes and in your home.

- Will help to reduce the chances of skin spots and premature wrinkles.

- But above all, do it for your health and that of those around you.

Cystitis

Health CareUrinary system diseases
Pain the view is that we live in a sterile world precisely what makes some kind of infection have over our lives is more than probable. Fortunately, our body has defense mechanisms that act against bacteria. When these fail, is when the disease occurs.

Cystitis is a common condition among women. Does not pose too many health risks, may worsen considerably the quality of life of the sufferer, and that sometimes tends to be recurrent. It is therefore essential to have the opinion and the diagnosis from a specialist to tackle the problem sooner.
According to Dr. Francisco José Brenes Bermudez family physician and coordinator of the urological patient work of the Spanish Society of Primary Care Physicians (SEMERGEN), cystitis occurs when “move up the urethra, a number of bacteria present in the digestive tract and they are not removed properly. ” Usually this occurs when “the woman’s vaginal flora is abnormal that make it more vulnerable to infections,” adds the expert.

It speaks of the vaginal flora that women are much more prone to urinary tract infections, with the range of 18 to 39 years old over the incident. This is because it “coincides with the maximum age of female sexual activity,” says Bermudez Brenes. If sexual intercourse increases the risk of infection, it is necessary to add “the use of spermicides, postcoital urination retardation, a history of recent urinary tract infections and certain genetic factors,” says the doctor.

Despite not being a disease that poses a great danger to health, cystitis can be very annoying, interfering in the daily life of sufferers. However, special care must be taken if fever, as it could be an indication that the infection has affected the kidneys, and then to be controlled more strictly. The most common symptoms, says the specialist, “are dysuria or burning during urination, urgency, pain in the suprapubic area and polyuria, or what amounts to a frequent sensation to urinate.”

The diagnosis is very simple, being only necessary to analyze urine strip the amount of bacteria present in it. “Sometimes, this test may be negative, which could be indicative of other diseases that require treatment other than” said Francisco Brenes.

When treating, it is normal that “isolated episodes of cystitis quickly and satisfactorily respond to antibacterial therapy, and almost all antibiotics that are eliminated by the kidneys tend to be effective,” said the expert in urology. It is always recommended to begin treatment with these drugs, if prescribed by a specialist as soon as possible, and complete treatment which usually lasts from three to five days.

If there is a phrase that is better-known by all is that we should drink more than a half liter of water a day. Doctors warn that it is the only way to clean our body and in this case, to keep clean the kidneys. Francisco Brenes also advised to “try not to be more than four hours without urinating, but are not desire to have and also get used to it after sex.”

Another basic premises to avoid any kind of infections is hygiene and women have to care for this especially. As essential care, the doctor said that after urinating, it is best to “wash and dry the genital area from front to back.” Finally, there are certain foods that can help us, for example, the regular intake of blueberries. But above all, if you have cystitis, you should see a doctor without delay and further treatment as he advises us.

Psoriasis

Skin CareA skin disease of unknown cause
Women skin is our largest organ and maintain their health is vital, since it is responsible for protecting the whole body. However, when exposed, can be altered easily and lose their good looks. To all this, add the incidence of some diseases to which we must be careful.

This is the case of psoriasis, a disorder that affects about one million people in Spain and in which, although its causes are still unknown, they place great efforts of medical research.

psoriasis is an inflammatory disease of the skin of chronic, according to Juana Maria del Molino, president of Acción Psoriasis, “is characterized by seizures that cause the appearance of red plaques covered with bright white scales.” These can be found anywhere in the body, so they tend to be clearly visible to the naked eye.

Although we can say that one third of those affected by genetic inheritance are the causes of their occurrence are unknown. Furthermore, “only discovered the influence of some mechanisms such as stress, certain infections, taking certain medications or trauma to the skin” as possible triggers of a crisis.

However, psoriasis can lead a normal life, although “it is necessary to conduct periodic reviews to ensure that this inflation of the skin degenerate into disorders of metabolism”, which can trigger other diseases that they can disrupt the quality of life of patients, details Juana Maria del Molino. We must also bear in mind that between 5% and 10% of patients develop psoriatic arthritis, a condition that must be treated by a rheumatologist. Equally important is knowing that “the disease is not infectious and therefore is not contagious,” says the specialist.

Although this disorder is characterized by seizures that produce a greater or lesser incidence of symptoms depending on the season and condition of the patient, fortunately, as the expert detailing Psoriasis Action, “there are a variety of topical and systemic treatments that can be combined together and varies depending on the response of the affected and to find proper medication and reduce the incidence of the disease. ”

thanks to the constant scientific research conducted to better understand this condition, treatments emerge increasingly optimistic expectations, but do not allow a definitive cure, it does help to prolong the periods that occur crisis.

This is the case of biological “therapies containing a new animal proteins that act specifically by blocking the molecules involved in inflammation,” says Mill. That is, there are now techniques to help patients make their skin lesions less visible and may, thus coping without it affecting their quality of li

> What is a semen analysis?
There are men who are reluctant to the idea of submitting to the test, because the collection of sperm is not always pleasant.

How to Teach the toilet

Pregnancy & BirthFor those who will embark on the adventure of teaching to use the potty, meditate a bit this sentence: 8 out of 10 children learn it spontaneously.

-On the successive stages
The average age of acquisition of the cleaning is between 28 months to daytime cleaning and 3 years for the night. So, eighteen months before it is useless to think about it. Your child does not have neuromuscular maturity, or psychological and emotional maturity required. Understanding what is expected of him, being physically capable of doing and willing are the three keys to success of this learning.
You see prepared. If you do not ask spontaneously, suggest sitting on the potty after meals (conducive to expected events), but also when he asks you to. Do not hesitate to repeat it for days and not be alarmed if at first only see pee on the potty. The maturation of the bladder and sphincter does not always occur at the same time.

According to sex-
Girls seem more precocious than boys. There have been many interpretations. According to some, the children would be more sensitive to parental obligations. According to others, establish a relationship between the pleasure of meeting the need to urinate and the pleasure of sexual desires. And, therefore, have the feeling of “losing” some of them when they make their needs, especially children.
It is therefore essential that everyone (parents, grandparents, kangaroo …) taking a relaxed attitude and a speech on the subject. No link between bowel movement vocabulary and dirt, even if the child plays with the contents of his potty: it is a common attitude at the beginning of learning. In this case, kindly explain that this is not done.

‘In any case, no constraint
In this area, as in many others, coercion should not be used. You will risk your child see cleaning as a challenge of power between you and him.

‘It’s not a competition: listen to him and only him.
No matter if it gets 16 months in the day, but also at night! In this, the important thing is the rhythm of your child.

- And at night?
There are also no rules. Although some children do not need to wear diapers for two years, others get to four and only during the day. Remind him to sleep without a diaper on a regular basis is a possibility. Also look at it in the morning. If they are dry for several days: do not need more!

A possible regression
You should know that certain things can roll back the child. The entrance to the nursery, the birth of a brother or sister … A momentary disturbance in which love and dialogue will be the solution.

Some tips …
To do
- Take the summer to leave the child with her ass in the air. Appreciate this sense of freedom.
- In winter, rename the diaper and leave a good time without him.
- Opt for a potty instead of water, you can impress too.
- Place the pot near the water and explain that it’s yours.
- Sit next to him on the service the first time I propose to the potty.
- Use full diapers that are lowered as a culotte.
- Put clothes that are easy to remove.

And to do
- Give a reward.
- Punish or scold him if he escapes.
- Forcing to stay in the pot if you do not win.
