Acupuncture As A Remedy for Back Pain
by: David A Griffiths
If you suffer from back pain you probably would not consider acupuncture as a treatment until you have exhausted many other alternatives. However, acupuncture is a type of ancient Chinese medicine that's been around for over 2,500 years and throughout this time it has been used for back pain relief, increasingly so in these modern times.
While it is not traditionally a part of western medicine, nowadays your doctor is quite likely to send you for this treatment if you are suffering from back or neck pain either persistantly or due to accident or injury.
If you are going to have this therapy you may want to know a little about how it works. The general belief is that the body has 20 energy flow patterns called meridians or pathways. Through these pathways it is thought that the life force or vital energy flows, this is known as the qi (it is pronounced chee) and is considered to be essential to maintain good health. There are over 2,000 points on our bodies that connect with these pathways and it is at these points which the hair-thin needles are inserted, this is done in varying specific combinations depending on the treatment required. These actions are believed to either correct the flow of qi or to reinforce it.
Even though it cannot be proven that this works as a type of pain relief, it is thought that as a result the central nervous system is stimulated. Most patients say that they get a pins and needles sensation on the insertion of the needles and indeed into the duration of the treatment, which usually lasts about 15 to 30 minutes. Some people report that they feel energised or even very relaxed so it appears as if the effect can be is somewhat different depending on the individual.
The acupuncturist will use up to 20 metallic needles during a treatment session and the depth they are inserted is dependent upon the area, deeper muscular or fatty areas need more penetration and the scalp for example would be just below the surface. The practitioner may turn the needles one way or another depending on what they are trying to achieve, in my personal experience they were turned on insertion, then again about half way through the treatment. At no point is the treatment painful, there is a mere sensation of the needles going in and they do not feel sharp at all, this is because unlike needles used for injections, an acupuncture needle’s tip come to a smooth point without sharp edges. They are also very thin, about 20 times thinner than a hypodermic needle. In my experience the most troublesome part of the treatment is lying in the same position without moving for up to 30 minutes, especially if you suffer from back pain or similar.
Although there are many medical experts who believe acupuncture is an effective way to treat certain conditions such as back pain, there is no true consensus. Some adhere to the theories of qi and meridians whilst others attribute acupunctures’ benefits to the biological changes that are brought about in the body as a result of treatment. Needless to say there will always be the sceptics who deny that acupuncture has any effect at all, but in my opinion if you are suffering from ongoing back pain it is certainly worth trying.

The Psalms
Psalm 91: A Safer Harbor
by: Jeanie Rose
Why so many references these days to Psalm 91? Presently, most folks are looking for a safer harbor. Security and even the illusion of security has disappeared when you assess the world's systems we had so much confidence in five or ten years ago.
More and more, people of faith are going back to cultivate their roots, digging deeper with prayer and study. When the seen world shakes, it makes sense to turn to the unseen world for stability. It makes sense for a believer to get a firmer grip on the spiritual treasures of his or her faith base.
Take a look at this treasure. Psalm 91:1 reads: He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty (NKJ). Psalm 91 is a treasure chest to be carefully unpacked. Take a close look at what is offered in Psalm 91 and you begin to feel overwhelmed.
What, protection from every sort of dangerous and destructive circumstance? Wow! You think, "This is just too good!" Yes, it is that good! But, back up. These blessings are not free for the taking. Have a look at how to qualify.
Qualifying Conditions: Psalm 91:1 gives you the first step in obtaining the following promises. This requirement is to dwell in the Secret Place, to abide up under the Shadow of the Almighty.
Dwell and abide are the contemporary translations for the Hebrew word yada. When you check the meanings of yada in the Old Testament, notice that the word is indicating a deeply personal sort of knowing. Good example: Adam knew Eve and they produced a child. Yada-ing is an intimate and fruitful relationship. Now you see the first conditional requirement to experience the amazing promises of Psalm 91: develop a yada relationship with God, an intensely personal relationship that produces spiritual life. This is very similar to marriage. Here is a life of focused commitment.
Abiding (yada-ing) up under the shadow of the Almighty is a step to be taken, a life's priority and a focus to be maintained. Abiding is not something you can check off the list as "finished". This abiding is on-going and defines your life.
Defines your life! Is there any question why so few people of faith ever personally experience the promises of Psalm 91? But, that does not have to be you.
Some Action Steps for Qualifying: Abiding under the Shadow of the Almighty is a lifetime pursuit. Here are some strategies for pressing into the Secret Place. Read through to get some ideas. Then, go with what seems to speak to you from this page. Stay flexible. What works for you this week may not work next week. Be ready to try a new strategy or a combination of strategies. Stick with it. The effect is cumulative as you will discover. Here are some suggestions:
� Develop a mindset of thanksgiving. Be thankful in all things. In doing this, you will be seeing the Lord as central to all that happens in your life. And of course, He is!
� Spend time seeking the Lord. God is not hiding. Come close to Him and He will draw close to you. Cry out to the Lord and He will answer you. Cultivate the ability to hear Him, because He does answer. Find a mentor to help with this if you have difficulty hearing God speak.
� Set aside time each day to be silent before the Lord in prayer. You can find extensive tutorials online for doing this.
� Watch your self-talk. As you spend more time in the Secret Place, your self-talk will reflect it. Check to see what of your present self-talk is disagrees with what God is saying. Locate those thoughts and replace them with truth that comes from Scripture. You will need to do some research to find the appropriate Scriptures to use. Some effort, but well worth it!
� Bless the time and the atmosphere by playing low volume worship music through the night. Choose music that causes your spirit to be caught up in prayer and worship during waking hours. This is one way to know there is an anointing present. While your body rests, your spirit is soaring in worship. What an economy of time! Also, you know from Scripture that God inhabits (sets His throne on) the praises of His people. So it appears that the Lord is present in some special way when worship is occurring.
� Play recorded Scripture prayer when your hands are busy but your mind is idle. Take this opportunity to memorize Scripture, to proclaim it in prayer, to change the atmosphere around you as you release the living Word of God. Your mind is being renewed, causing you to think like God thinks. Yes, think like God thinks!
In Summary: Brief and to the point: Psalm 91:1 is an invitation to not only dwell with the Lord, but to draw up closely to His heart and develop a mutual life, a life lived together. Like marriage, this relationship requires an investment of time and focus. Like any good marriage, the effort is so worth it. No matter where you find yourself on the continuum of intimacy with the Lord, there is always room for improvement. There is no end to the depths of God. So cultivate carefully and water those roots. Get started today to be fully qualified for the blessings of Psalm 91.

If you are the type of person to constantly tell yourself that you have a problem with "this" and a problem with "that" then you need to turn all of your problems into goals. Instead of making your overweight problem a problem turn it into a goal. Instead of saying you weigh 50 pounds overweight say that by the end of 90 days you plan to lose 50 pounds. Make it your business to make that transformation in your head, and once you do you will be one step closer to figuring out how to be happy. Also, there is a huge decrease in the level of stress a person has when your problem vanishes into a goal. Furthermore, It helps with a person's overall happiness.
Problems can cause anxiety, stress, tension, and a myriad of other unhealthy issues. They also drain a large portion of a person's energy when he has to be focused on solving that issue. Rather than trying to solve an issue, if a person changes that issue into a goal it automatically promotes activity and is usually very energizing and motivating. A valuable goal creates enthusiasm which in turn creates happiness. Moreover, when you picture yourself completing that goal you will be able to feel an incredible amount of joy which you will eventually feel in the future when you actually complete it. For that moment in the present you are experiencing something more surreal even though you didn't complete any goals. All you did was take the step forward to try and achieve happiness.
Your goals may sometimes be just for the sake of getting rid of a particular problem or issue but they should always have the same outcome in mind. The outcome of changing a problem into a goal will make you accomplish more and will make you feel more alive and energetic. You will feel that you have something to work for, something to look forward to, as opposed to just waiting for something to happen. All of these things that you once thought were problems can become solutions. Once you have a solution your stress level goes down and your happiness level increases tenfold. The pattern of life of having a problem and a solution is the most beneficial thing to learn how to do properly.
If you were searching for how to be happy then the first place to start would be by turning your problems into goals.

Health Benefits Of Pineapple
Public by Similan Tiga on cateogry Nutrition views 0 words 757.
This sticky and sweet tropical fruit is a favourite with children of all ages. Perfect as an integral part of sweet and sour sauce, you cant go past the wonderful pineapple. Pineapple is a tropical fruit, it contains a proteolytic enzyme bromelain, which helps in the digestion of protein. Pineapple can prevent blood clot formation because of its bromelain content.
Pineapples are a member of the Bromeliaceae family and are composed of many flowers whose fruitlets are fused around a core. Each fruitlet has an eye which is the spiny part on the pineapples surface. Pineapples are both sweet and tart with a beautiful, tropical yellow colour, reminiscent of warm summer days at the beach.
Health Benefits of Pineapple
One of the most important enzymes in pineapple is bromelain and it is bromelain that holds the key to many of the pineapples health benefits. Fresh pineapple is full of these sulphur-containing, protein-digesting compounds so, what can they do for you?
Bromelain and Pineapples
Bromelain has been found to be a useful anti-inflammatory, effective in reducing swelling and assisting in the treatment of conditions such as acute sinusitis, sore throat, arthritis and gout. For increased effectiveness, pineapple should be eaten between meals without other food. This is because of another of bromelaids properties, that as an aid to digestion. If eaten with other food, bromelaids health benefits will be taken up in helping to digest the other food.
Pineapple is high in anti-oxidants
A very good source of vitamin C, pineapple offers your body an excellent protection against free-radicals, substances that attack healthy cells. A build up of free-radicals can lead to atherosclerosis and diabetic heart disease, an increase in asthma attacks and an increased risk of developing certain cancers, such as colon cancer. Free-radicals have also been shown to accentuate the problems associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Vitamin C, your bodys most important water-soluble anti-oxidant has proven itself invaluable in fighting against and aiding treatment for these conditions.
Vitamin C is, of course, also an excellent cold and flu fighter due to its importance to the proper functioning of the immune system.
Manganese
Pineapple is also an excellent source of manganese, a mineral essential in some of the enzymes necessary in the body for energy production. It also has very good amounts of thiamine (vitamin B1) which is also important in these energy producing enzymes.
Macular degeneration
Pineapple and other fruit has been shown to be important in maintaining good eye health, helping to protect against age-related eye problems. Three serves of fruit a day, in particular those high in anti-oxidants, has been shown to lower your risk of developing this potentially debilitating condition.
Pineapple Stems
There are even some beneficial molecules hidden in the stems of pineapples, Australian research has found. These molecules have been seen to act as a defence against certain types of cancer. The types of cancer benefited by these molecules are ovarian, breast, lung, colon and skin cancer.
Pineapple Nutritive Value (Per 100 gm.)
* Vitamin A: 130 I.U.

4. Catarrh (secretions from mucous membranes).
5. High Blood pressure.
6. Arthritis (diseases of the joints)
7. Fresh pineapple juice is also used in removing intestinal worms.
8. Fresh pineapple juice has been used to combat diptheria and other infections of the throat or other parts of the body.
9. Prevents nausea (includes morning sickness and motion sickness), Take 230 cc. of pineapple juice or papaya juice.
10. Constipation
Selecting & Storing Pineapple
Pineapples should feel heavy for their size, otherwise they could end up dry and tasteless. They should look, feel and smell clean and have no bad or mouldy marks on the outer surface. As pineapple stops ripening when picked, choose carefully and dont select one that looks immature. Pineapples can be stored at room temperature however they spoil easily and should be watched carefully. To keep it longer than a day or two, wrap in a plastic bag and store in the fridge for up to five days. If youve cut your pineapple, store unused pieces in the fridge in an airtight container and use as soon as possible. They can be frozen however this will change the flavour so be careful.

Fact: Family is a composition of individuals belonging to the same bloodline, traditions and sharing of thoughts, creating new memories and giving support towards each other. These are just some of the uniqueness, in which an individual enjoys when in company of his or her family. So, when it comes to family issues every member is entitled to give his or her opinion or suggestion to resolve an issue or problem. A member of the family also holds the responsibility to care, respect and protect the other members of the family. In this article, learn to delve yourself in meeting the needs of your family especially in the context of safety and security.
Safety and security are basic needs that a person should enjoy at the same time meet. The real question is: How do you give due protection to your family? The first thing you should do is to provide them a house – clean and cozy. A house can protect from nature's wrath, like hurricanes and cyclones. Of course, this can be considered a protective measure since it protects your family from illnesses, such as flu and fever. Every individual wants a place, which is comfortable, beautiful and cozy where their family can enjoy the benefits of a complete and supportive family.
Since, a home is established inside the house, you want to enhance the security measures by putting up some decorated can safe, where you can hide some of your valuables, removing the obviousness of the valuables. Other home owners also put up double locks and alarm systems, to alert them of perpetrators thus automatically alerting the police in cases of emergencies. A very important measure that a homeowner should consider doing is to, put up a list of the emergency numbers where everyone can see and access on it.
Safety is always a concern for each member of the family, some heads of the family; engage themselves in tactical self- defense classes encouraging their family as well in joining the exercises. Some families even keep a taser c2 in their home, which they can use in case someone plots to harm their peace. In fact, tasers are legal in most states – but one has to make sure that these things are utilized only for self- defense purposes.
A concern of family members is their health – most families avail of insurances to ensure that when they are in dire need of health care, they can do so, without worrying about the expensive hospital and health intervention bills. They also engage themselves in exercises and make sure they take in their vitamins on a daily basis. Simple as they maybe, these things can help you and your family preventive contacting disease, which are commonly acquired in the streets and other establishments.
For a person, family is an important factor in his or her lives; you want to ensure that you and your family enjoy your rights to a safe environment. Family is just one of the things, which is worth protecting.

Who lost a day? Not God by Mike L Anderson
According to the story of the Lost Day, scientists in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) made a discovery confirming the truth of the Bible. This story, which I found in my email box, seems to have originated with Harald Hill, a computer consultant in the NASA space program.
"Space scientists at Green Belt, Maryland, were using a computer programme to determine the position of the sun, moon and planets when they came across a missing day. They were stumped over how to account for it. In the department, however, there was a Sunday school teacher who had the answer. He showed them passages from Scripture (Joshua 10:8, 12, 13 and 2 Kings 20:9-11) which recovered the missing day. God had miraculously caused the sun to stand still for Joshua and move backwards for Hezekiah."
At first blush this looks like a wonderful story that Christians should welcome because it helps to confirm the truth of the Bible. It has the apparent support of tough-minded scientists from a prestigious institution.
Well, how should Christians respond to the story? This might appear to be a strange question. Surely the issue turns simply over the facts. The question is whether scientists did discover a missing day. Everyone (Christian or not) should simply humbly bow down before the facts.
However, behind the story there is an assumption made which must be evaluated biblically - that Christians have some need for extra-biblical assurances for their faith. Is this true? Let's look at the Bible.
How does Jesus deal with those whose faith is faltering? Two of his disciples who had this problem were travelling on the road to Emmaus. It was just after the crucifixion of Jesus and their faces are described as downcast. Preliminary reports about his missing body served only to perplex them further. They were greatly in need of faith. How does Jesus counsel these men? (By the way, there is a problem in using Jesus as a model. The Teacher's mere presence is enough to bolster the pupil's faith. We don't have that option. However, on that road to Emmaus the disciples were prevented from recognising him. The Lord can be used as a model after all). So, what does Jesus do? He rebukes them! "How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter his glory? (Endnote 1).
Isn't this a bit harsh? Remember that the only Scripture the disciples had to go on was the Old Testament. They didn't even have the New Testament (or any discoveries by NASA scientists). Is the Old Testament really enough? Jesus apparently thought so. Think about it. What better proof could the two have had than his resurrection? Jesus could have triumphantly announced it to them. He didn't. Instead "... beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself." And it worked.
They asked each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scripture to us?" Note that this response occurred before Jesus opened their eyes to recognize him. The message is clear: Scripture is enough. Do those who deny this really know the Christ of the Scriptures? Even the Old Testament alone provides enough basis for faith. The New Testament and the resurrection provide more than we need and reveal God's abundant grace towards us. The Christian faith is worthless without the resurrection (Endnote 2). but the two disciples were assured that the suffering and resurrection of Christ must occur on the basis of the Old Testament alone. Let us be grateful for having more, much more, than these two and not seek for further "proof" from science. "Come on" some might want to say, "surely Christians should be interested in all truth." God is certainly glorified when we pursue truth wherever it may be found. However, while we should be interested in truth (small t) all that faith needs is Truth (big T). The Christian's faith is centred in a Person - Jesus Christ.
But, let us go hunting for truth. Public Relations Officers at NASA have stated that a missing day was not discovered and that if there was a missing day they do not have the means to discover it (Endnote 3). .They also say that Harald Hill was not a consultant in the space program, but involved in "diesel engine operations and maintenance contracting (Endnote 4).. Astrophysicist and biblical scholar Prof. Robert C Newman has studied this case extensively. He points out that the main features of the story predate NASA and computers! In 1890 a Prof. Charles Totten claimed such a discovery but failed to provide the necessary evidence. In the interests of truth the Lost Day story has to be rejected. Newman has strong words for those who would use falsehood to defend the Bible: "This is trying to do God's work using Satan's tactics! (Endnote 5).
Christian philosopher James Sire says it well: "Put simply, the best reason for believing that the Christian religion is true is Jesus, and the best reason for believing in Jesus is Jesus Himself (Endnote 6). The biblical way is for Christians to be "built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone (Endnote 7). Christians so built have no need for dubious extra-biblical stories.

The Prophet Got It Wrong!
Public by Wayne Sutton on cateogry Self Improvement views 0 word count 579.
During a hard time of my life, and while I was still a young Christian, I received a prophetic word spoken over my life. It was a promise for the prayers I have been pleading over the last few months, and to say the least I was amazed.
The ability of an almighty God speaking through a child of God, for me! I held onto every word spoken, and couldnt wait for the next few weeks to see the miracle manifest in my personal life.
And so I waited. I spoke the prophetic word aloud, I believed upon it, and I told others the miracle God was going to perform in my life. It never manifested. So, did God miss it? Did the preacher miss it?
Was he a false prophet?
Now there are many reasons a prophetic word may not come to pass when spoken forth, yet the purpose of this writing is not to give you the answers for unanswered prayers or unfulfilled prophetic words. This message is written to call much needed attention, not to the false prophet, but to our own attitudes and slanderous remarks we have made towards those in the prophetic ministry.
Have you judged a prophetic word? Great! We are told to judge the word, for we all see in part and hear in part, and every word is not always from the spirit.
Did he miss it? Or did I miss it?
Before you make a judgment, lets look closely at this point
We all grow in the gifts as we exercise and walk in faith for that gift. Therefore, lets understand that we can all miss it prophetically, and that does not make us a false prophet. In fact, most people that prophesy today do not hold the office of a prophet! They are being obedient to the scriptures when the Apostle Paul commanded us to seek all spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.
So why do we judge those speaking forth a prophetic word so strongly? Should we judge the word itself? Yes. Yet, remember those speaking the word do so in faith as they discern from the Holy Spirit. But what if they miss it?
Well what about the healing evangelist or pastor that prays for a multitude of sick people? Have you ever prayed for a sick person that remained sick, or even worse?
Where is the judgment then? Oh, thats right we blame that on Gods will to heal or the other persons lack of faith. Hmmm
However if just 1 out of 100 were healed then we are ecstatic and jumping for joy! We talk about, tweet about, and YouTube the 1 miracle for all to see - despite the 99 that remain sick. Believe me, I am happy for the 1 very happy!
Yet, we do not condemn the person praying for the 99 that remained sick.
So what about the one who is prophesying over another person, or a group of people? What happens when they do not have complete accuracy? We somehow see it different They can prophesy clearly and accurately over the 99 people, yet totally miss it on one person or event and they are ridiculed and labeled a false prophet!
Why the difference? Because we expect all who prophesy to be a Prophet, we do not understand the gift of prophecy through the body of Christ. The gift of prophecy is to be sought after and the manifestations will grow as you exercise the gift.
The same also goes with the other gifts such as healing, words of knowledge, etc. Our responsibility is to judge every prophetic word, and to seek the spiritual gifts as the Bible has commanded us.
Prophets miss it. Evangelists miss it. Apostles miss it. Teachers miss it. Pastors miss it too. We all see in part, hear in part, and are all growing from glory-to-glory by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
So what about the evangelists that prophesied over me? Did he miss it?
Maybe, or maybe instead I interfered with Gods plan over me? What did I do with my discouragement and false word? I thanked God for his grace, mercy, and his goodness in all things.
And instead of condemning the evangelists as a false prophet, I myself started to study and seek the spiritual gift of prophecy. And then the other gifts

The Goodness Of Bircher And Toasted Muesli
Public by Blake Swanston on cateogry Nutrition views 0 word count 579.
How do you start your day? If you are like most people, you probably get out of bed and have breakfast. This is definitely a wise strategy because many people skip breakfast, which is not a good idea. Your morning meal is the most important one of the day. However, it is also important to point out that many people opt to eat a very unhealthy breakfast loaded with fat, sugar, and other processed ingredients. Here is a much better strategy for your morning breakfast - opt for Bircher muesli or toasted muesli instead. They are by far the much healthier and more nutritious morning meals you could select.
What is so good about muesli?
Bircher muesli is a traditional Swiss breakfast that first emerged circa 1900 and it was the idea of the physician Maximilian Bircher-Benner. His idea was a relatively simple one - you would mix raw, uncooked rolled oats, fruits, and nuts. The vitamins, nutrients, and good carbohydrates found in a breakfast such as this ensures you start the day in the perfect manner. Remember, breakfast is always the most important meal of the day because its goal is to provide you with healthy calories intended to fuel your day. Bircher Muesli can definitely help deliver on that goal.
The fact that the oats are uncooked also ensures that all the goodness in muesli is not ruined by the heating process. You might be surprised to discover that cooking healthy selections at high temperatures can undermine many of the nutrients present in them.
Now, if you opt to make lightly toasted muesli, you would only subject it to an oven for about ten minutes in a low temperature. You would also be adding seeds, coconut, canola oil, and honey. You could say you would be making a good breakfast even better by including these natural add-ons.
You may even wish to make a very large batch of toasted muesli and then save it for later. Dont worry about the shelf life of muesli because it wont spoil overnight. For those who have free time on a Sunday but have six other busy days of the week, making a weeks worth of breakfast in advance might be a wise plan. It definitely makes time management easier! (It also ensures you always start the day with a healthy breakfast)
Whether you opt for Bircher muesli or toasted muesli or have both, you can feel confident that you would be getting truly excellent nutritious breakfast selections that are far better than a host of the processed items on store shelves.

Aromatherapy - An Effective Way For Relaxation
Public by LingIvy on cateogry Alternative Medicine views 6 word count 579.
There are many reasons to use aromatherapy for stress management. But most of all, this type of relaxation technique can be easy and inexpensive.
People who are looking for ways to manage stress are turning more and more to aromatherapy... and it's no surprise because it's based on hundreds of thousands of years research, use, and improved technology. And it's effective.
This is the act of using natural essential oils to achieve emotional as well as physical health benefits. It is the smell, or the aroma, of these essential oils that invoke an emotional and physical response.
When purchasing products, you'll want to be sure you get natural products made from essential oils. A lot of candles and scents may smell good... but will have unnecessary chemicals, and are not made with true essential oils. So take a moment to read the labels.
The benefits are potentially endless
For the most part, each individual will have a different and personal response to different types of aromas, however, there are specific types of essential oils that are known for achieving certain responses. For example, Lavender is known for being a relaxing scent. It can help greatly with stress and anxiety. While Peppermint, on the other hand, is frequently used to awaken your senses and make you feel more alert.
Using aromatherapy for stress has helped me immensely... and it's such an easy technique that I use it almost every day. In my office at work, I keep a reed diffuser filled with essential oils that are meant to create a calm atmosphere. The great thing about using a reed diffuser is that there is no flame. Many offices do not allow candles or incense to be lit because of the potential fire hazard.
So not only does the scent help to keep me calm and relaxed at work, my co-workers love visiting my office as well... because it's the best smelling office in the building!
Not familiar with reed diffusers?
They are becoming a very popular form of aromatherapy and easier to find almost anywhere that candles are sold. A reed diffuser is a bottle filled with an essential oil which contains reed sticks. These sticks sit inside of the oil on one end and soak the oil up. They then stick out of the top and diffuse the smell throughout the room... and they are quite nice looking! Once the oil is gone, time to replace the bottle... they will usually last at least a month depending on the kind you buy.
Besides reed diffusers and candles, there are many different ways to get a good dose of aromatherapy. This type of relaxation technique has become so popular that it's easy to find what you need without venturing far from home.

What Does A Natural Health Consultant Do?
Public by on cateogry Alternative Medicine views 0 word count 579.
I am a certified Natural Health Consultant and I provide information and education to people seeking natural forms of healing and treatment. Most health consultants have a broad understanding of a variety of alternative health disciplines and may recommend a specific approach of alternative healing to a client. Approaches may include nutrition, homeopathy or herbal remedies. I try to combine all three when possible.
As a Natural Health Consultant, I discuss and assess health issues or symptoms with clients. These assessments include educating individuals about various methods of alternative health and recommending particular methods that will benefit a client. I sometimes will have to refer individuals to licensed practitioners or other health care providers because it is beyond the scope of my training.
You need to be knowledgeable about alternative health disciplines, including herbs, vitamins, minerals and nutrition. The Natural Health Consultant is not necessarily an expert, nor a practitioner, in any of these fields. Remember, that we are not here to diagnose diseases.
However, the consultant's expansive knowledge about the capabilities of all these fields allows them to explain alternative health options to people, advise them on which discipline might be an appropriate starting point, and assist them in being referred to those who can provide the necessary treatments.
He or she also may be familiar with additional areas of study, such as acupuncture, reflexology, aromatherapy, or massage therapy, although a Natural Health Consultant may not be trained to perform these procedures.
TRAINING
Training varies depending on areas of interest. Currently, there areno set licensure requirements, but becoming certified by taking classes and seminars is one way to add validity to a career. I received my certificate through a Strafford Institute home study course. There are also colleges that offer classes as well as other home study programs.
OPPORTUNITIES
There are many opportunities for a career in the natural health field. However, most consultants have there own practice. This way you can set your own rates and schedule, not to mention you are the boss.
What I have done with my certificate is two-fold. I built a website on alternative health and was able to spread my passion and knowledge to a broader audience. Secondly I started my own practice to meet with individuals one on one which is much more rewarding. I get to actually see the results of helping someone else.
So if you have a passion for alternative health I highly recommend that you consider getting trained as a Natural Health Consultant. It will be an extremely eye opening and rewarding experience.

Green Living With Tava Tea - 100% Pure Green Tea To Lose Weight
by: Marcus Wilson
Although it may look like that Tava Tea wellness blend is like any other tea on the market, it has some properties that the others do not. Similar to Earl Grey and Darjeeling teas, Sencha, Oolong and Puerh have been around for a very long time and considered beneficial for one's health. The Chinese have been drinking Sencha, Puerh and Oolong for more than five hundred years. Tava Tea, with all its great nutrients, is a perfect blend of these three teas.
One of the key ingredients of green tea is Catechin which is a type of important antioxidant recognized as Polyphenol. There are extremely high levels of Catechin contained Sencha. Polyphenol antioxidants occur in numerous forms but the healthiest is catechin. There are high concentration of a strong type of Catechin in green tea known as Epigallocatechin gallate. Part of living green is to utilize products that are not just great for the environment but enhances your health as well.
Tava Tea is well viewed not only for weight loss but to help restore the body to a healthy state too. It has been clinically shown that Tava Tea can help lower the amount of body of fat while balancing cholesterol amounts. Other benefits of Tava Tea aside from losing weight include improved digestion of food, reducing bloating and burning twice more calories than normal green teas on the market. It's likewise found to minimize the effects of consuming carbs. Just consuming a cup of tava tea approximately 15 minutes before you eat a food with lots of carbs will help to reduce the production of insulin, and as a result, you will put on less fat.
Free radicals harm the body at the cellular level, making individuals more prone to get coronary heart disease, different chronic conditions as well as cancer. One more healthy feature of this type of green drink is that it is rich in the amino acid L-theanine, which has been proven to relax the body and calm the mind. The aminoalkanoic acid, L-theanine, raises alpha brainwave activity which, in turn, increases the amount of Serotonin and Dopamine released which helps you to feel relaxed.
A group of men and adult females, taking part in a study, drank Wuyi Cliff Oolong green tea for 15 days. The end result revealed an amazing 50% lessening of free radicals for everyone in the group. Lowering the amount of free radicals in your body is an important point in slowing down the process of aging. By drinking two or more cups of Wu Long tea every day, you can lower the prospects of heart disease by as much as 26%. While you may not be thinking green to save the environment, you should at least be thinking green for your health.
One little thing you can do to improve your health is to consume green tea each day. The best green tea you can find is Tava Tea. On top of all the health benefits, Tava Tea comes with a six month money back guarantee. A lot of companies extend free trials but in majority of cases, they are cons since they get you signed up for automatic monthly charges. To protect your health, begin consuming Tava Tea, the number one rated green tea.
