Natural Help for Easy Bruising
Are you the kind of person who can bump a corner of the coffee table and know that you’ll have a whopper of a bruise tomorrow? Are you afraid of your neighbor’s dog jumping on you because you’ll have to marks to show for it? Do you frequently sport some big bruises and don’t know where they came from? If you can answer yes to any of these questions, then you’re an easy bruiser. Bruising at the drop of a hat is the result of fragile blood vessels, and can come from a number of underlying causes.

The gist of the article was that during the current economic crisis many people who are stressed about their financial situation turn to food as a way to cope. Medical experts know that stress and other strong negative emotions have an impact on your body’s hormonal balance, specifically the balance of adrenaline, cortisol, and insulin.

Eight Ways to Ease That Pain in Your Neck

Natural Help for Heartbu
You’ve got what feels like a three-alarm fire under your ribcage or at the top of your chest. Maybe you just overindulged in a gourmet meal or knocked down a chili dog with the works. You belch; maybe drink a little water, but the fire burns on. That after-dinner hell you’re experiencing is most likely heartburn. What causes heartbu is actually a muscle in your lower esophagus falling down on the job. That muscle, your esophageal sphincter, usually opens to let food you’ve eaten pass to your stomach, then closes to prevent food and stomach acid from flowing back upward.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Lynn Jaffee
I believe that there is a mental health component to any illness or health condition that you might have. Whether emotions are the source of your condition or simply aggravating your symptoms, your mental health must be addressed in order for complete healing to occur.
I also believe that healing springs from a partnership between the practitioner and client. My role is that of a health coach, and I will use a variety of tools including acupuncture, herbs, food therapy, heat, bodywork, and lifestyle counseling to build an effective treatment. Your role is to make a committment to alter those factors which are contributing to your ill-health. Together, we can calm your mind, relieve your pain, and improve your health.
