Panic & Anxiety Attack Facts Reveled

By Rick McNew

Around 2.4 million Americans suffer from anxiety or panic attacks. They commonly occur during late adolescence and into early adulthood. For some reason women are twice as likely to suffer from these attacks.

*Symptoms of the attacks can be:

*Labored breathing.

*Racing heart or chest pain.

*A great feeling of fear.

*A feeling of chocking or smothering.

*Feeling faint or dizzy.

*Shaking or trembling all over.

*Sweating.

*Feeling like you could vomit.

*Tingling or numbness in the fingers and toes.

*Chills or feeling hot.

*A fear that you are losing control or are about to die.

They can be passed on to a child by one or both parents. A stressful event will often bring on an attack. The exact cause of the attacks has not been uncovered.

Psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and medications like Paxil and Zoloft are often prescribed. Xanax or Klonopin are used also. Drugs for an irregular heart beat can be prescribed which are called beta blockers.

There have been some resent breakthroughs in the all natural drug free treatment areas. Sadly some people will respond will to treatment only to experience panic or anxiety attacks later in life. With the right treatment about 90% of people that get treatment find relief. For some reason many people never seek treatment.

To reduce stress and help with the symptoms of an anxiety or panic attack you can cut back on your intake of caffeine which is in chocolate, cola, coffee, & tea. Be sure to seek advice from your pharmacist or doctor before going on any over- the counter drugs or any herbal remedies because they can have chemicals in them that can heighten panic or anxiety attack symptoms.

I would like to suggest that anyone that is having attacks get some kind of help because they affect ones daily life and the overall quality of your life in a tremendous way.

My wife of 25 years has been struggling with the panic or anxiety attacks for her entire adult life along with some of her other family members. She has recently found relief with the non-drug all natural treatments that are now available. She has been able to stop the attacks cold. Thousands of people have been helped so far with this new technique that has been 10 years in the making. She has been able to enjoy her life a lot more now. - 16004

By Henry John

Its an alarming fact that too many of us forget that the most precious thing in our lives is us! We treat our bodies as if they can be replaced if something goes wrong, as if somehow they were disposable. Unfortunately, medical science has not yet discovered a way of replacing our bodies. What we have is all were going to get.

How is it that we take such little care of the most precious thing we possess? Shouldnt we take extra care over the way we look after our bodies? Surely our body and its welfare should be our top priority? It should be, but unfortunately it isnt.

How we are, how we look is a living example of how we think of ourselves. If you dont look after yourself it is crystal clear to everybody around you. You dont have to explain anything, your body tells all.

All of us in our heart of hearts know this, but somehow we do very little to resolve the problem. Yes, there are some excuses that can be made and there are circumstances that deflect our attention away from looking after ourselves properly, but we all need to be able to get our priorities right if we are to stay healthy.

Looking Forward- Shows in your Complexion

By Juanita A. Davenport

The largest organ in the body is the skin! Women's skin seems to age more easily than men's do because women's skin is thinner. The biggest factor that ages the skin and causes wrinkles are smoking, free radicals, and excess sun damage. By nourishing the skin, as well as our mind and spirit, we can reverse the sands of time, and turn the clock back on aging.

It is well known in the mental health field that stress is a major cause of sickness and disease. Emotional stress may be caused by situations in your childhood where you could not express your frustrations and it has carried over into your present life. When we can reduce stress in our lives then we can improve our natural radiance and health. Money cannot buy natural health in a bottle, yet.

Wrinkles can be the result of repressed rage, frustration, shame, and self-judgment about yourself, your job, your relationships (or lack of a relationship), or even the world situation cause stress at a deep level in the muscle tissue. Along that line of thinking you may see the emotional reasons for the body to accumulate wrinkles and lines in the face or even be the root cause of the disease called Fibromyalgia. Lyme disease often looks and feels like Fibromyalgia.

Meditation, exercise, therapy, and Reiki energy clearing are four ways to lessen stress. Transcendental meditation or as commonly called "TM" has given significantly positive results in some peoples' appearance, health and well-being. Just going for a walk after a stressful time can give your new life.

Taking the time away from a busy life to connect with your inner being you are helping establish a friendly relationship with the good looks and health of your body.

To summarize, getting a full night's sleep is essential to beauty and good health. It is optimal to go to bed at the same time every night. When you count the hours that you have in bed - eight hours are best. Given these facts it is easy to see that if you have to get up early some morning then try to go to bed earlier the night before. Overall, it does not make good sense to stay up late when you know you have to arise extra early the next day.

In essence, it is healthy to eat fresh foods that you prepare yourself. Cook the food very little if any because you need the life force and enzymes that are found naturally stored in fresh live food. Commercially processed food does not supply proper nutrition for your body.

Looking Forward to Life - It Shows in your Complexion. You can look younger, feel healthier, and brighten the depth of your spirit through simple, enjoyable methods. - 16004

The Complete Master Cleanse Recipe

By Linda Riley

Basically the master cleanse is a diet which requires you to drink mostly a lemonade cocktail for the duration of the master cleanse program. As the recipe for the master cleanse diet is a very simple and easy one to formulate. All that you need to do is to consume at least 60 ounces of lemonade per day but limited to 120 ounces. You also need to consume a lot of water while following the master cleanse. The reason is because the master cleanse acts as a laxative which removes wastes and toxin from your body. This will actually cause you to be dehydrated. To avoid dehydration, you should drink an equivalent of your weight in water. This means for example if you weight 150 pounds, you should consume 150 ounces of water.

For a single or a glass of the master cleanse, the recipe require that you have 10 ounces of filtered water, two table spoon of maple syrup, two tablespoon of lemon juice and 1/10 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. If you wish to make a daily servings of 60 ounces at one go then you will need 60 ounces of filtered water, 12 tablespoon of maple syrup, 12 tablespoon of lemon juice and teaspoon of cayenne pepper. But remember when you are preparing the master cleanse, you must use freshly squeezed lemon juice. This is because canned or processed juice already has lost much of its benefits.

Another factor to note is that you must use organic grade B maple syrup and not sugar filled syrup. And although the Cayenne pepper looks as if it can be excluded, it is actually very important. The cayenne actually helps to break down the mucus and promote a healthy blood flow. Beside this, it is also a rich source of Vitamins B and C. If you wish to add flavor to the lemonade, just use decaffeinated tea because caffeine constrict the blood vessels. During the master cleanse, we actually wishes to promote a good flow of the blood so that the waste and toxin can be easily removed from the body.

To control your hunger pangs, you can try using Hoodia but follow the recommended dosage. If you are tired of drinking lemonade, you can also switch to natural laxative. Another thing is that psyllium husk can also assist in removing the hardened feces in the body.

As mentioned earlier, natural laxative can be used as an alternative for lemonade. Some of these natural laxative are herbal laxative tea, psyllium husk and sea salts. There are some of the best natural laxatives around to flushed out the toxins without the use of enemas. Use the above mentioned laxative twice daily and combining it with the master cleanse, you will get the maximum effectiveness. Just be sure to drink lots of water to prevent dehydration. - 16004

Get Informed: Natural Yeast Infection Treatments

By Gray Rollins

You must have heard about Candida. No. we are not talking about Bernard Shaw's Candida but the infection Candida which is caused by natural yeast. Well, if you haven't heard about this infection then it is time that you paid attention to it. Because this is an infection which might make your waking and sleeping hours an uncomfortable affair! Imagine scratching your hands in front of people you have just met! Or worse still imagine your husband not wanting to eat food cooked by you since you scratch yourself hands all day long. Well, if you don't want such things to happen to you, then you better gather more information about this infection. People are growing more and more conscious by the day about Candida, so why not you too?!

In recent times, there has been a search for more natural cures for the infection. Though the creams that can be bought over the counter are recommended, many people are wary about the artificial medicine. Their main fear is, of course, the risk of side effects.

However, before you think of the cure, it is more advisable to give a thought to the ways of preventing this yeast infection. And if you are wondering how to gather this precious information then do not worry we will provide you with all the information that you need to know. You need to have a very good sense and habit of self-hygiene and care.

It's a wise decision to avoid alcohol the best you can. Whether it's in a beverage or in food, it can be a risky situation. While you may be tempted by a cold beer, or a liquor-filled chocolate, remember that alcohol encourages growth in yeast. While a drink with friends may seem tempting, harmless even, it could bring you intense discomfort in the near future.

Other edibles to avoid are anything containing caffeine, margarine, or dairy, and especially junk food. It's a good idea to severely limit your indulgence in these foods, if not completely abstain from them. This means putting down the can of soda, and picking up a glass of water, and snacking on fruits and vegetables instead of chips and sweets. But, hey, these are good health tips, regardless of whether you have the disease or not. If cutting out milk products seems like an obstacle, look for alternatives made with soy or rice milk. It can be a bit of a search, but many grocery stores provide dairy-free substitutes.

It's also good idea to avoid using public facilities, whenever possible. Restrooms are a well-known breeding ground for germs, and communal toilets are likely to be swarming with germs that will worsen the state of your infection. The best advice we can give you here, is to go to the bathroom before you leave the house, and avoid drinking a lot of liquids while you're out and about. The same concept applies to swimming pools, so stay out of the city pool!

The next thing to make sure is to select the right condom. There are many varieties of condoms. The types which you need to avoid are the ones which contain nonoxynol-9 lubricant. So make sure you read the about the condom before you use it.

If you use perfumes very frequently then you must cut down on its usage. Any scented thing should be avoided. So try to cut down on scented sanitary pads, tampons, etc. The reason behind this advice is that the bacteria which kills the yeast is destroyed by the scent of these above mentioned artificially scented stuff.

The best remedy for you is to drink a lot of water. Also remember to add garlic and yogurt in your diet. Apart from these, applying tea tree oil or products containing tree tea oil is a good idea if you want to you get rid of yeast infection naturally. - 16004
