Dental Care - Ayurveda Concept

Clean and shining teeth, healthy gums and pleasant breath all contribute to a beautiful smile. Ayurveda believes in the three doshas vaata, pitta and kapha, the mouth is the seat of the kapha dosha. Hence, care must be taken not to vitiate the kapha dosha. Problems with the kapha dosha lead to several dental problems. Many methods are known to Ayurveda to maintain healthy teeth.

Alternative Medicine Seminars: What they Teach

Find Alternative Medicine Seminars in the United States and Canada. Much like traditional medicine workshops, alternative medicine seminars typically center on pathology-specific and/or innovative health treatments. In addition, a number of alternative medicine seminars will sometimes offer diplomas of completion, certification and/or continuing education units.

Some excellent examples of alternative medicine seminars may include classes in acupuncture treatment for particular health issues, such as auricular therapy for eye disorders. Other alternative medicine seminars may be strictly for practitioners and health care professionals who would like introductory courses in homeopathy, natural healthcare or other related subjects of study.

A number of alternative medicine seminars may involve integrative medicines that are used in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, and other health problems. In addition, there are alternative medicine seminars that have been specifically designed to help professional health care providers to better understand the theories and principles of alternative and complementary medicine, which help to erode stereotypes associated with these natural health modalities.

Some alternative medicine seminars are geared toward promoting healthier lifestyles and better nutritional concepts; while others present advanced and continuing education classes in glyconutrients, massage therapy, yoga, Tai chi, qigong and herbal remedies. Many alternative medicine seminars also include programs in guided imagery, chiropractic, homeopathy, meditation, mind-body medicine, and additional natural therapies.

Alternative Medicine in Acne Treatment - Fact Or Fallacy?

Along with what we consider regular orthodox medicine, there are a number of therapies such as homeopathy and herbal medicine, commonly referred to as alternative medicine. Many doctors regard these alternative forms of medicine as quack medicine. But are they? And do they have a role to play in the treatment of acne?

The main difference between alternative medicine and regular medicine is the focus on the whole person. Orthodox medicine as we know it today tends to focus on the disease, in this case, acne, and the part of the body affected by it, usually the face. Alternative medicine focuses on the whole person.

So while regular doctors may sometimes be guilty of isolating the patient from the disease - sometimes referring to them as “The Pimple in Bed 6″, or “Acne coming in to see you at three o’clock”, a complementary therapist would never do that. He would spend a lot of time getting to know you, what you eat, where you work, how your family is, whether you have any stress etc. Specific treatment plans are then tailored to the individual. So two people with the same disease like acne, may get completely different treatments.

Alternative Medicine For Dogs - Using Homeopathy at Home

Alternative medicine is enjoying a boom as people start to take control of their own lives. As an alternative medical practitioner, a homeopath, I am very excited about this. When people take control of their own lives, there is no limit to what becomes possible. The limitations occur when you hand over that control to others. No one else but you, has your own best interests so much to heart.

Once you start taking control of your own life, you start to question what’s best for your family, including your pets.

You might now be asking yourself what could be the best alternative medicine for dogs.

There are many different alternative medicine modalities about and you need to do a bit of research to decide what is most appropriate. There’s homeopathy, reiki, naturopathy, Chinese medicine, osteopathy, chiropractic, flower essences, herbs, acupuncture or pressure, massage, Bowen therapy, to mention just a few. Many of these modalities will only be able to work in a limited way. For instance (and I’m no masseuse, so could be wrong), massage will probably only be good for strained muscles. And, although some can act on a deep level, they can be slow to show results, such as flower essences.

Detoxification - The Sooner, The Better!

Being a health buff, I’ve considered myself fairly healthy for a majority part of my life. I have an optimal weight, surprisingly slim that is. I eat the regular meals of breakfast, lunch and dinner, and usually stayed away from most junk foods. Or so I thought — I had little idea that my lifestyle and eating program were not so great after all.

My food choices were favoring a Western style of eating — fast foods, soft drinks, instant juice drinks, foods filled with lots of saturated fat, salt and sugar. And smoking was a part of me too — I typically smoked two packs of menthol cigarettes each day. I noticed I was more inactive physically.

This is the lifestyle and eating habits I had that I thought was just plain normal since this is how most of the people are living their lives day in and day out. I had little idea that all the chemicals, preservatives, additives, and unhealthy fats I was consuming were shockingly very harmful and deadly for my health. Even the air I breathe is filled with harmful carbon monoxide from vehicles, pesticides, solvents and other heavy metals and chemical lingering in the atmosphere.

Emergency Contraception 101

Nobody’s perfect. Even the most responsible and obsessive of us have slipped up at some point. In a contraceptive emergency, it’s always good to know you have options so you won’t panic too much. A lot of women are not aware of emergency contraception. Lack of knowledge about emergency contraceptive methods has led many women to choose abortion when faced with an unplanned emergency.

Knowing you can protect yourself with emergency contraception in the event that something unfortunate happens may be better than deciding to terminate a pregnancy, going through the procedure, and living with the psychological scars of an abortion. While they don’t actually protect you from sexually transmitted infections, emergency contraceptives can prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse, a sexual assault, or when a condom breaks while making love. As the name applies, emergency contraception should not be used on a regular basis. You should be practicing a regular contraceptive method that is effecting and suitable for you.

Asthma Herbal Treatment

Asthma is an abnormal lung condition characterized by difficulty in breathing. People with asthma have extra sensitive or hyper responsive airways. The airways react by narrowing or obstructing when they become irritated thus making it difficult for the air to move in and out. This narrowing or obstruction can cause one or a combination of the following symptoms like wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath and chest tight. Conventional treatment uses two types of drugs to relieve symptoms and control the attack.

But natural therapy believes that asthma can never be cured or controlled with factory made medications, laboratory designed molecules and artificially made steroids. Herbal treatment of asthma involves the use of natural herbs in preparation of medications according to traditional Ayurveda. These cures work by eliminating the symptoms and attacking the root cause of the condition besides improving the immune system of the patient.
