Homeopathic Centre – A Place for Whole Family Health Care

Homeopathy is a natural remedy that is becoming popular these days due to its effectiveness and harmless in comparison to other techniques of treatment. This is a combination of science and nature that proves to be very beneficial for human beings. Homeopathy word has been derived from the Greek word homio meaning similar and pathos meaning suffering. German physician Samuel Hahnemann is known as the father of homeopathy as he first discovered the idea that like cures like.

Homeopathic medicines which are termed as remedies work on this principle only. They are basically prepared from the plant, animals and sometimes some minerals also. Theses medicines include the infective material that has caused disease in your body. But that substance is present in much diluted form. Water and alcohol are mainly used as diluting agents. This substance activates immune system of body thus activating formation of antibodies in body. These antibodies then fight with the infective material thus curing you.

For homeopathic treatment you can visit any homeopathic centre which is a place for family health care. A homeopathic center has treatment for all major and minor illness. But the process of treatment of a homeopath is somewhat different from the traditional system of medication. Unlike other allopathic doctor’s visit, first visit to a homeopath will take 2-3 hours of yours. In this he will ask about all information not only related to disease but also your personal life. He will enquire about your emotional and mental status, and will take complete knowledge about your lifestyle. This information is very essential for him to take out your remedy.

In your second visit he will suggest you any remedy keeping in kind your personal and family history. Once you have taken initial treatment he will analyze the effect of those in further visits. In case body is responding nicely, that means you are given proper cure. Accordingly he will suggest you more prescriptions. Homeopathic remedies have brief intensification effect in body but then it settles down in 2-3 days. This treatment takes around 2-3 months but if you have healthy surroundings with stress free mind along with timely doe of medicines you can reduce your curing time.

Homeopathic centers have so many experts who sometimes make you sit there for long hours because some treatments require every hour dose. This is to have early and instant effect in some cases. Now days due to its popularity online homeopathic consultation have also been started. They listens to all your symptoms and problems and then ship you remedied accordingly but it is always better to go to a homeopathic center as it is a place for whole family health care. The effect which you can observe to a local center is not seen form online consultation.

Moreover homeopathic centers charge you less as compared to online remedies as their charge include their shipping and other transportation cost. Homeopathy has its own benefits along with being cost effective. Any class of individual can afford it easily. Some homeopathic centers also provide remedies for free. But choose your expert very cautiously after assuring yourself with his previous works.

Thus being a place for whole family health care with remedies for all diseases you need not search for any specialist for any illness. Though a bit slow, homeopathy promises you a sure treatment without any harm. Enjoy the benefits of this natural healing process.

Ten signs of an eczema family

There are a few ways I can now sleuth-out an eczema family at school, before I see any tell-tale physical signs.

This is just a bit of fun really, but got me thinking about what else I could add.  Please do add yours to the list too?Spotting fellow eczema families - they don't wear man made fibres.  An image of a sock

  • EVERY single label has been cut out of your children’s clothing.
  • You only wear natural fibres – you’ve spent hundreds of hours searching for 100% cotton socks!
  • You ask for your child to be sat away from the radiator in winter and away from the open window in summer.
  • Your bathroom is stacked full of tubs of cream.
  • Even the word ‘summer’ fills you with dread.
  • Your fridge is full of oat milk, rice milk, coconut milk….anything but dairy.
  • You know how to say nuts/eggs/dairy in ten different languages.
  • You carry a HUGE bag around everywhere – epipen, antihistamine, eczema balm –  tick.
  • You can hear your child scratching through three rooms with all the doors shut.
  • Steam comes out of your ears when you’re asked for the tenth time that day if you’ve ever tried goat’s milk.

How can family help substance addicts on the road to recovery?

Substance addiction can bring in a very powerful, negative impact to any individual and the people around him. In fact, substance addiction costs the US government around $ 200 billion per year, so the problem is indeed very demanding. But how can substance abuse impact an individual? Let’s find out!

The negative effect of substance addiction for any individual

  • Young adults tend to isolate themselves from their family and friends
  • People start dealing with major negative effects such as anxiety, depression, aggression, paranoia, mood swings, psychosis and many others. Things only worsen if a person is subject to prolonged substance abuse
  • Constant substance abuse can generate hormonal imbalances, cancer, AIDS, gastrointestinal diseases, prenatal as well as fertility issues and organ damage
  • Aside from all of the above, the substance abuse can lower confidence; it generates an addiction to alcohol and smoking
  • It encourages people to embrace a world of crime, so they can get more money to purchase the desired substance
  • Substance abuse is also known to cause accidents and public impairment. Improper chemical and substance storage can also cause damage to the environment.

Aside from that, abusing any type of balance will cause a lack of productivity and many times the person in question will even lose his job. It can also lead to a loss of friendships and many times substance addiction can also terminate relationships if it’s not handled in a proper manner.

How can family help with substance recovery?

Even though it can be hard to cope with the idea that a loved one is dealing with substance abuse, you need to try and go past that fast. This is a time when any substance addict needs his family the most, as they can help him speed up the recovery process.

So, how can family members help a substance addict? Here are a few tips to keep in mind:

  • Study the effects of drug and alcoholism dependence. Understand what your friend/loved one is going through, as it will offer you a good insight into what you can do next.
  • Always try to offer your support. You need to be there for the substance addict regardless of the situation, so visit him often, make him laugh and distract him from the challenges that come from their recovery treatment.
  • Always express your love and show them that you will be there no matter what happens. As we mentioned earlier, proper moral support can do wonders and it can boost the recovery process quite a bit.
  • Remember that the recovery process is ongoing, so do make time to stay with the addict often. Avoid covering up for him, do not assume their responsibilities, but offer them the guidance they need. Show them how they can go past this problem with flying colors.
  • Stop arguing with the loved one, do not preach about anything and try to be a role model. Allow the addict to see the best behaviors in you, and then he will be able to replicate that on his own.

Recovering from substance addiction/abuse is not an easy road. Every family member needs to understand that while this process can take a lot of time, the results that come from a good recovery process can be more than impressive. If you are a family member, try to use the tips above and make sure that you are near your loved one. Don’t preach about anything, just try to show support and help as that’s what really matters for any substance addict!

New Sail for Marcie’s Family

Dear Mommies, Daddies and Friends of this Blog,

MarcieMom EczemaBlues

This is the time I waved goodbye to you (at least for 2016) as I’ve decided to stop updating this blog with 3 posts a week. There are 859 posts on this blog for the past 5 years, with the first blog post in January 2011. Marcie (my daughter with eczema from 2 weeks old) has just started Primary 1 this year and it is very stressful to continue with the blogging commitments while helping her with school. I also feel that this year is a year of change for me and nothing can change if all my free time is used to update this blog.

This blog has comprehensive information you need to care for your child with eczema, and use the (i) search box, (ii) categories on the right side bar and also the (iii) drop down list under Eczema Tips in the menu bar to find the eczema information you need. It has come to the point when my blog has so much information that there’s little value-add I can provide by committing to a 3 blog posts/week – trying to squeeze knowledge into this blog for the sake of fulfilling blogging commitments won’t be helpful to you.

I’m not sure if I will blog in 2016, nor the plans for 2017 onward. This is a blog I believe is a blessing from God, often he brings expert guests to me and help me be able to complete the blog posts. As and when I’m called to add more to this blog, I’d do so.

For now, thank you to all of you who read this blog, to all of you who commented and emailed me, to all the GPs and dermatologists who recommended this blog to parents, to all the experts and friends who helped out and are a part of this blog, thank you for this 5-year journey with me.

Eczema Blues

Eczema clothing for the whole family…

When Emily told us that her sleep was being disturbed by both her husband and her daughter’s scratching we decided to send over some of gorgeous eczema clothing to see if we could help the whole family get a better nights sleep….

Elianah and her daddy in their eczema clothing.

My daughter Elianah loves to dance. To her toy piano, her daddy’s guitar playing, music at baby groups, the coffee grinder, washing machine and even the toilet flush! She will hear a beat in anything and simply can’t help herself, swaying from side to side, bopping up and down, clapping her hands and nodding her head as she goes. All this makes for tiring work, and at baby groups my content, dancing little girl quickly becomes overheated, scratching and frustrated. The change is sudden. Friends that know Elianah, help me try and distract her little hands. Other mums at groups look sorry her. These times usually end with me stripping off her layers to cool her down, grabbing wet towels from the bathroom and wrapping them around her arms. The party inevitably ending in tears.

There’s another scenario that often plays out in my home. My husband will be getting ready to go to work and will often ask me, “Was it a bad night last night?” Now, you would think with a 13 month baby, he was referring to the number of night feeds or wake ups we had. Rather, his skin burning as he goes through his cream routine in the morning, he is wondering how much damage was caused by scratching the previous night.

As an adult, in the daytime he can exercise more self control than our daughter, and stop himself scratching or use strategies to distract himself. However, the night is more vulnerable for eczema sufferers.

So, when I received some clothing by Everything for Eczema for my husband and daughter, I felt genuine relief and gratitude. That might sound over the top but it takes a real empathy for living with eczema, a true understanding of the frustration and pain it can bring, to design practical clothing for those who suffer in their itchy little worlds.

Mittens flipped closed to stop scratching.

For my daughter, the flip mitten bodysuit was perfect for the singing and dancing time at baby group this week. During the morning, she had worn the suit with the sleeves folded back, showing off the pretty design. Then, when her fingers got the itch, I simply pulled the sleeves over the top of her hands. The outer layer is silk, so although the vest is quite a thick cotton, she was immediately cooled down. As the sleeves are quick and fuss free to fold over or back, once Elianah was distracted by the music again, I could give her her hands back.

Mittens open!

When I get her from her nap times during the day, her first instinct is to have a good scratch of her head and up her arms. Being able to leave the mittens folded over her hands meant we avoided the post wake up scratching frenzy. By the time we had got downstairs to her toys, I was able to fold back the mittens and give her a book to occupy her hands.

 

 

My husband is our daughter’s comrade in their eczema battle. They know what it means to feel physically uncomfortable in their own skin. Little things make such a big difference. After a few nights of wearing the SOOTHE Bamboo pyjamas, both my husband and I have noticed a difference.

flip mittens to prevent night-time scratching

For me, I now only have one person breaking my sleep, while my husband hasn’t had to ask me what kind of night he had. The fold over mittens were immediately useful keeping his hands free from scratching without feeling trapped. However, the enclosed feet were a feature he was more impressed by. Toenails, apparently,are a handy accomplice in scratching the itch at nighttime. Although my husband only uses 100% cotton clothing, his normal pyjamas still leave his feet free to scratch. The bamboo fabric of these pyjamas were even more soothing and soft to the skin than cotton.

Eczema pyjamas with enclosed feet

The attention to detail in the design of both these products, including labels on the outside, easily adaptable mittens, and the carefully chosen fabrics, have really made a difference. My daughter has been able to dance and clap quite contentedly, and my husband’s sleep has been significantly helped. Finding the right clothing for eczema sufferers not only soothes skin and relieves an itch, but for us, can give a good night’s sleep, allow a little girl to play with her friends, and give a mother and wife a well needed rest from anxiety and ease to her family’s eczema care routine. In a phrase… Highly recommend.
