The way we look is a direct result of what we put into our bodies. The food we eat and the beauty products we use every day greatly affect our health and appearance.

Unfortunately, most of common beauty products are full of preservatives, toxins, and sometimes poisons and carcinogens. These are put in our makeup, face wash, shampoo and hairspray in order to give them a longer shelf life so the company makes a profit. In order to be a healthy consumer, we must make conscious choices at the beauty counter by choosing organic and natural beauty products and supplements.

Don't let fancy advertising fool you. Most of the beauty products you see on television and in magazines are targeted towards our insecurities to make us think we need their product to look younger, sexier, and thinner. Most of these products actually end up causing what they claim to prevent because of all the preservatives and toxins in the product! When we use these products on our hair, skin or nails we are putting these toxic sometimes carcinogenic substances directly into our bloodstream!

The cosmetics industry is the least regulated industry under the jurisdiction of the FDA. This means that we have to be cautious and aware of the products we are using. Go to your local health foods store and purchase products that are certified organic. Be careful- even some organic products contain hidden toxins and preservatives so it is important to read those labels carefully. When you make conscious choices, your hair, skin, nails and body will be on their way to being beautiful and vibrant; the way nature intended!

Read Your Labels:If your soap, face wash, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, lotions or make-up contain any of these ingredients, get rid of them:

Parabens: (methyl, propyl, butyl, and ethyl): These preservatives are a group of chemicals widely used as preservatives in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries that are linked to breast cancer! The E.P.A. has found that they interfere with your bod! y's endo crine system: your hypothalamus, your ovaries, and your thyroid

Diazolidinyl Urea, Imidazolidinyl Urea: Preservatives used in cosmetics that release formaldehyde and cause dermatitis.

Alpha Hydroxy Acids: Popular skin exfoliating acids which compromise the skins protective functions and possibly even alter the natural biorhythms of the skin with long term use.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate: Literally a poison that causes eye irritation, scalp irritation, and tangled hair.

Diethanolamine/Triethanolamine: Causes dryness of hair and skin, and when mixed with certain chemicals, becomes carcinogenic.

Propylene/Butylene Glycol: The main ingredient in antifreeze. Need I say more?

Synthetic Colors and Dyes: Cancer-causing toxins that often lead to skin allergies, and a whole other host of problems. Most dyes are not regulated by the government and many have been linked to allergic reactions, skin rashes, hyperactivity and asthma.

Give your Makeup A Makeover!The skin is the body's largest organ. Toxins exit our bodies through our skin. Lotions and powders may soften and smooth the skin temporarily, but they eventually end up inhibiting the health of our skin by weighing it down and causing it to sag and age.

Anything we put on our skin is absorbed right into our bloodstream. This goes for our face makeup as well. Make sure your makeup is mineral-based and free of chemicals, preservatives and dyes. Chemicals in your makeup not only go directly into your body but also clog your pores and cause premature aging.

Choose all-natural mineral-based makeup. Mineral-based makeup contains all-natural elements from the earth broken down into tiny particles so they can be easily absorbed into our skin. These natural minerals contain skin-healing properties and give us that youthful "glow."

Spare Your Hair:Typical hair care products are full of toxic chemicals and preservatives. Celebrity stylist Chaz Dean says using regular shampoos on your hair is like using laundry deterge! nt on yo ur hair. "And what happens when you use laundry detergent to wash your clothes? The fabrics break down and fall apart. Your hair is doing the same thing. These harsh detergents are stripping your hair, robbing your hair and it's becoming finer, thinner and weaker. So it's not you, it's what you have been doing to your hair."

Be sure to read your labels. Buy only certified organic hair products and you will reclaim those lustrous locks!

Beautiful Supplements:You can also add some great supplements to your diet to improve your health and well-being:

Borage Oil: Also known as Evening Primrose Oil, Borage Oil restores moisture to dry/damaged skin. It can provide relief for chronic skin-care problems such as eczema or acne.

Antioxidants: Antioxidants have numerous health and beauty benefits including diminishing cellulite, increasing metabolism, and keeping your skin youthful and hair soft and vibrant. You can get antioxidants from antioxidant rich foods such as fruits and vegetables and liquids such as teas and juices.

Spirulina: A blue-green algae with more protein than soy, more iron than beef and more vitamin A than carrots. Spirulina is the ultimate anti-aging food especially good for healthy eyes and strong vision because of its beta-carotene content.

Vitamin C: Vitamin C protects your skin from free radicals, boosts immunity, treats and prevents colds, and aids in collagen production. Use organic face and body products with vitamin C for clearer, more radiant skin.

Wheat Grass : Full of antioxidants, vitamins, and nutrients, wheat grass juice is a powerful body cleanser with multiple healing properties. The chlorophyll in wheat grass cleanses and rebuilds the bloodstream and combats toxins. Wheat grass can help with skin problems such as eczema and sun spots.

Coenzyme Q10: Coenzyme Q10 is a powerful supllement that fights free radicals, stimulates tissue regeneration and has anti-aging properties.

Vitamin E: Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant that! protect s the skin from environmental factors, benefits your cardiovascular system and prevents the breakdown of your body's tissue.

Just remember that everything you put in or on your body affects you- inside and out. Making informed choices will lead to a more vibrant, healthy and of course beautiful life!

Feng Shui for Better Health - How Applying the Wisdom of Feng Shui Can Improve Your Wellbeing

Feng Shui for Better HealthHow Applying the Wisdom of Feng Shui can Improve Your Wellbeing

Without your health you have nothing, according to a famous quote. Among the many factors that impact your health, the energy that flows around us or "chi" greatly impacts the quality of our wellbeing. Although we can't see it, if energy becomes blocked or stagnant in our environment, this imbalance and disharmony will affect all those in its path, leading to subtle and often obvious discomfort and even dis-ease. Symptoms such as lethargy, irritability, depression, poor sleep, feeling "out of sorts" and disempowered are but a few possibilities of how the affects of bad Feng Shui in your home can impact you.

Can you harness the power of Feng Shui to improve your health? The answer is a resounding "yes".

The relationship between your health and environment is closely linked. Feng Shui is about working with energy, and the intentional clearing and arrangement of objects to allow the healthy flow of positive energy, and the dissipation of the negative. An ancient Chinese practice, Feng Shui is focused on purposefully working with the proper application of energy flow, which although invisible to the naked eye, directly impacts our own energy field, which over time can uplift or drain our health.

If you haven't been feeling your best lately, despite other changes you may be making to your diet for instance, consider how the environment that you are surrounded and sleeping in every day is having on your state of being. Applying the following Feng Shui practices in your home can help you increase your energy levels and stay healthy and of clearer mind.o Feng Shui works with nine categories of life situations that are spatially represented by areas in your living quarters. The very center of your home (and each individual room) is the "health" area. Work on this area by clearing it of debris and wooden objects (in Feng Shui, wood "uproots the earth"), and add plants or yellow and earth tones ! to give the "health area" chi a boost. o Clearing clutter overall is essential to the healthy flow of energy, as excessive piles of stuff are disorderly and constantly draining you. Clean out every room and closet of the house, especially items that have negative emotions associated with them. It's said a cluttered home is a cluttered mind, and creates congested energy, not allowing new, healthy energy to enter your home.o Clear the air, literally. Fresh, quality air circulation is vital to health and the movement of chi. Besides opening the windows often, helpful aids are plants and aromatherapy with essential oils which purify the air. Removing clutter as mentioned above will help clear mustiness and dust. Scale back on excessive electrical devices that emit electro-magnetic frequencies which are harmful to your body's energy field. Move anything electrical as far away from your bed as possible which could drain you while sleeping, such as alarm clocks, cordless phones, computers and it's advisable to never use electric blankets.o Avoid having a mirror facing your bed, which can scatter the energy of the bedroom. If it's not easily moved, cover it at night.o Let in as much natural light as possible, and aim for ambient indoor lighting. Replace glaring fluorescent lights with softer lighting, full-spectrum lights, sun lamps or crystal salt lamps. In the evening, light candles to infuse your home with the uplifting fire element. o No more dark and drab wall colours. Working with the right colours in the rooms of your home include; yellow - which boosts happiness and creativity, green - which promotes healing and calmness, blue - which is also healing and relaxing, and indigo - a relaxing colour which enhances clarity and intuition. Avoid painting your bedroom red, as it is too energizing a color to allow adequate rest.o Remove sad or depressing art, or objects that are rooted in the nostalgic past, keeping you stuck. Instead, place happy pictures of loved ones, or of times of self confidence and empowerment, upl! ifting p aintings, chimes, a small water fountain or any items that bring happiness to you.o Healthy potted plants or wind chimes around your home will disperse negative chi, as well as playing soft and uplifting music. There are many more advanced Feng Shui techniques for the right tools that a qualified practitioner would consider tailoring to each client's particular birth elements. Applying a few changes to your home will do wonders for uplifting your mood, energy and wellbeing, which naturally all affect your health.

A relaxing, calming and orderly environment is not only easier on the nerves, but a pleasure to spend time in. Be sure your home nourishes you, not drains you!

5 Holistic Tips to Naturally Reduce Osteoarthritis Pain

Posted: 07 Aug 2012 08:00 PM PDT

Article by Kali K. Dania

Tired of painful hip joints, aching fingers, stiff knees and other symptoms of chronic Osteoarthritis? Here are five simple, inexpensive and safe ways to diminish very painful, and often times debilitating symptoms. Because these suggestions fall under the natural, non-invasive category - why not give each one a try and see for your self which one works best for you? Maybe include them all into your daily regimen? Many times the best solutions are discovered during experimentation!

1. High-gauss medical grade magnets, placed directly above the painful area has been observed to increase circulation which hence promotes healing of the damaged tissue. There are many well-priced products available, used to reduce arthritis causes and symptoms.

2. Spices and herbs such as Ginger, Turmeric, Oregano, Rosemary and Basil are very high in antioxidants and chemical compounds that promote relief from joint pain and swelling, and can be used specifically by sufferers of Osteoarthritis. They can be made into teas or used often in everyday meals.

3. Brazil nut and sunflower - which contain SAM, or S-adenosyl-methionine, a chemical shown to have pain relieving and anti-inflammatory properties similar to those found in the over the counter medication ibuprofen. About 9 ounces of sunflowers and 18 ounces of brazil nuts are necessary to provide a dose equivalent to ibuprofen, but introducing these foods to your diet can over time greatly reduce joint issues associated with Osteoarthritis

4. Vegetables rich in glutathione such as asparagus, cabbage, cauliflower, potatoes, tomatoes and purslane are wonderful for creating a healthy body chemistry that promotes quick healing. Also, eating fruits with healthy amounts of antioxidants such as avacados, grapefruit, oranges, peaches, watermelon and pineapple, are known to reduce arthritic symptoms after continued use.

5. Niacinamide or Vitamin B3, a water-soluble vitamin, is recommended to arthritis sufferers, as it can strengthen bodi! ly cells , cell tissues, and cell growth, slowing down and potentially stopping joint degeneration. Niacin is found in variety of foods including liver, chicken, beef, fish, cereal, peanuts and legumes and is also synthesized from tryptophan, which is found in meat, dairy and eggs.

Of course, everyone enduring Osteoarthritis has unique body chemistry, so while some may find this list extremely helpful, others will continue their search for relief. If you're interested in natural solutions, the five suggestions above are a great start! Remember, it's always best to do your research and consult your physician before starting any type of treatment.

Whilst Bangkok reigns with the largest amount of establishments that provide Thai massages from budget to high-end. With techniques and origins from over 2,500 years ago, Thai massages are one of the most sought after treatments throughout the world.

Massages can be done with aromatherapy oil, lotion or nothing at all. From triggering a memory, to help aiding you to sleep, recover from jetlag or to make your skin glow, Thai massages can be used to stimulate different aspects of your body.

Take for example the Thai facial massage that uses the fingers in an upward motion and circular strokes across the face. If done regularly, a Thai facial massage can reduce wrinkles and fine lines, and tone facial muscles. The Thai foot massage is perhaps one of the more popular massages that tourists get whilst in Thailand. According to traditional preaching's it is said that each part of the body is linked to the foot. Feet are looked upon as the pillars of the human body, and hence much emphasis is placed on the feet. Either a massage will be done by hand, or by using a small wooden stick. Known to relieve pain and promote better posture, foot massages in Bangkok are famous! For one of the most traditional massages you can get in Bangkok, visit the Wat Po (The Temple of the Reclining Buddha). To experience some of the best of Bangkok, why not try the Bangkok apartments by Compass Hospitality?

Article by Dane Fletcher

Bodybuilding enables one to have an increase in the muscles size very spectacularly, where body building women mainly create a beautiful and appealing shape of the entire arms, legs, and the bottom plus chest areas in segments. This difference is because of the high levels of natural hormones testosterone that specifically relates to male bodies, and is solely responsible to spectacularly transformations that many men aspire for. For women, body building brings changes especially in their health conditions, mainly leading to reduction in the possible risks of diabetes.

Studies have clearly shown in detail that in body building sugar processing is quicker, because it acts directly on the insulin secretion. More benefits that are associated to women body building include low risks of developing heart diseases and this is because workouts lower the blood pressure. Training on weight is what stimulates the entire body and the cardiac rhythm level therefore strengthening the whole process of blood circulation and the functioning of lungs through proper control in breathing. Rarely do women know that, in bodybuilding there is a lot of strength and routine mobility that necessitate average growth.

They also increase the elasticity of their tissues and the body skin through internal massaging by the working muscles and this is a secret to women who loves holding on to their young age.

These words may in fact be an incentive for taking a closer look at what it really to be a bodybuilder and who knows, you may emerge on top of the game one day. When the road to losing weight becomes really tough, you may prefer to stay away from the gym for some time.

Managing Stress in the 21st Century

Posted: 07 Aug 2012 04:00 PM PDT

by San Mateo County Library

Article by Teri Hamilton-Mickens

Stress is an integral part of everyday life, and it represents the way we emotionally, physically and mentally, react to different. The pace of modern life, pressures in the workplace and all the demands of life in a continually changing world, make this an age of "stress". Stress affects the body, lowers the immune system, slows body function and can lead to serious physical, mental or emotional imbalances. Stress can be the number one cause for many of the issues that you are having, including things such as, weight gain, anxiety, depression and pain throughout your body. However, if managed correctly, stress can be used to create a positive experience through excitement, increased energy, clarity of thought and creativity. Stress management includes a variety of techniques that encourage relaxation and decrease her/his stress hormone levels. Yoga, aromatherapy and meditation are some of the ways stress can be managed.

YogaYoga can be effective in tackling stress. Yoga is a Sanskrit term which means 'Union' or 'Harmony'. It is an ancient practice of controlling body and mind which originated in India a few thousand years ago. This ancient technique and forgotten therapy is being revived in this modern era. Yoga in stress management provides relief by making the body comfortable for the maximum flow of energy. It unites the mind, body and spirit. Yoga requires you to stretch the body and form various poses, all while keeping your breathing slow and controlled. There are many forms of yoga. Yoga can be a spiritual practice, an exercise or both. Most people that practice yoga agree that it creates a feeling of wholeness and inner peace. Though it takes time to perfect, its benefits make it a worthwhile time investment.

Aromatherapy Aromatherapy is basically the introduction of specific scents, with the purpose of creating a reaction, generally one of relaxation. Aromatherapy is a natural healing science employing essential oils extracted from aromatic plant sources to treat and balance! the bod y, mind and spirit. It has been used for quite sometime now to relieve people from the stress they are feeling. Aromatherapy is a widely acknowledged and effective method to treat stress and is another great way to relieve the stress in your lives, whether work related, or otherwise. The essential oils used in aromatherapy can be added to baths, massaged through the skin, inhaled directly or scented in a room. A new innovation is small aromatherapy diffusers that can be attached to your computer monitor or laptop (and so doesn't take up desk space or require an electric socket) and releases aroma only into your personal space for natural stress relief. These extracts are also sold in teas for consumption. Whether it really is soothing to the nervous system or works because of a placebo effect, no one really knows for sure. But for many, if not all, individuals, aromatherapy does aid in calming a person down and reducing stress. Some common scented oils associated with relaxation are lavender, rose and sandalwood.

Meditation Meditation has the exact opposite affect on the body as stress. When practicing meditation, your heart rate and breathing slow down, your blood pressure normalizes, you use oxygen more efficiently, and you sweat less. You will feel calmer, more relaxed and have a greater sense of well-being. Meditation helps you to feel less anxious about issues that previously caused you stress, and many benefits arise out of a calm state of mind. In a basic meditation, you would sit in a relaxed position and clear your mind by focusing on a sound, your own breathing or on nothing at all. This can be typically done in 5-20 minutes. Like yoga, meditation can be spiritual or secular. Meditation causes your body to produce and circulate more positive hormones and it enhances your immune function. Effective meditation requires time, patience and lots of practice but its benefits can be tremendous.

NutritionWithout proper nutrition, your body and mind cannot function properly. In our fast fo! od world , we consume a lot of calories but rarely do we give our bodies all of the vitamins and minerals that we need. Corbin-Enterprises.com offers some of the best nutritional supplements available. When we take care of our basic nutrition needs, we are better equipped to deal with the stresses that we so often encounter.

What Causes Asthma and How to Treat it Holistically

Posted: 07 Aug 2012 03:00 PM PDT

by LoopZilla

Article by Madeleine Innocent

When you know what causes asthma, you can take appropriate action to heal it totally.

Dr Buteyko, a Russian doctor, discovered the cause.

In a nutshell, he discovered that life started on this planet, in an atmosphere of much higher levels of carbon dioxide than there are currently. He reasoned that all life still have that core of needing more carbon dioxide than is currently recognised.

So an asthma attack is simply your body shutting down it's supply of oxygen for a short period, so the carbon dioxide levels come up. Your neck muscles may constrict, making breathing difficult. Your chest may feel heavy, making inspiring difficult. Your airways may temporarily fill up with fluid, to prevent the oxygen getting into your blood.

Your body is highly intelligent and does what it takes to avoid disasters.

Scary though an asthma attack may be, it was never life threatening until cortisone came into use.

The Buteyko method is all about learning to hold your breath. This may be difficult for people who regularly have an asthma attack. So you need to practice every day. Stop when it becomes uncomfortable. But increase your time every day, until you can comfortably hold your breathe for a few minutes.

Then when you feel an attack coming on, simply hold your breath. You're likely to avoid the attack altogether. And, over time, the attacks are likely to be less severe, less often, until they disappear altogether.

Any treatment, without knowing what causes asthma, will never be effective over the long term. Your asthma is likely to get wore as time goes on.

This is pioneering work, and not recognised in many areas of expertise.

Still, it works very well. And has no side effects. And you can never be caught out without the right equipment to deal with an attack.

Knowing what causes asthma gives you the key to effectively treating it and a permanent solution.

Tips For Fast Relief: Holistic Yeast Infection Cures

Posted: 07 Aug 2012 07:00 AM PDT

by MangakaMaiden Photography

Article by Elena Andrews

If you want to be certain to get fast relief for a yeast infection, but don't want to use antibiotics or fungicides because of the side effects, natural yeast infection cures are possible. The itching and burning of a yeast infection can be controlled through natural remedies or by always being aware of prevention techniques. The most common type of yeast infection is a women's vaginal infection; yeast infections are also found in men and in children. Regardless of the remedies that you choose, be sure to begin treatment as early as possible.

Treating Infections With Garlic

Apple-Cider Vinegar

Many of the natural remedies included in this list have more than one application. Fresh garlic cloves or natural garlic tablets may be one of the best treatments for yeast infection outbreaks. Garlic may be eaten to reduce the level of cholesterol and to lower blood pressure. As a treatment for vaginal yeast infection, a yeast tablet or a fresh garlic clove inserted into the vagina will provide almost immediate relief.

Yogurt Applications

Some sufferers have found cooling relief for vaginal yeast infections by dipping a tampon in yogurt and inserting it into the vagina. The yogurt provides cooling and pain relief for a brief time, but the tampon should be removed before the symptoms return. The yogurt should be plain yogurt, not vanilla yogurt.

The value of just plain water for many of humankind's illnesses cannot be overstated. You should drink the proverbial eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day. Drinking more water allows your body to flush out toxins through urination and to reinstate the natural balance of bacteria and yeast. Toxin and mineral free water is important for optimum benefits.

Prevention is the Best Remedy

The more you make healthy living choices in your diet, clothing and activities, the more likely you are to avoid a vaginal yeast infection. If you do feel the early signs in your body, take advantage of yeast infection cures that don't hav! e side e ffects and provide long term resistance.

A cup of apple-cider visit in the warm bath water can provide excellent relief. It should not be applied directly to the skin, since it is strong enough to be very painful if not diluted. Apple-cider vinegar is another natural remedy for several things, including weight loss. It can be taken internally as a good all-around health boost.

Cleanse and Detoxify with Water

The best remedy of all for a vaginal yeast infection is to avoid getting it in the first place. General health principles and the remedies mentioned above are all good at preventing and curing the condition. You can also include these actions when you are fighting off a yeast outbreak: Wear cotton undergarments, reduce or eliminate sugar in the diet and avoid feminine deodorants.

Healing Properties of Oil of Oregano

The substance known as carvacrol that is found in oil of oregano is an effective treatment for yeast infections. This herb should be taken daily internally for best results. It must be pure oil of oregano to prevent further toxicity.

About the Author

Yeast infection cures especially cures for yeast infection during pregnancy using either preventative or natural remedies are more likely to provide instant relief with fewer side effects and extended periods between recurrences.

Afraid of the Truth: Feeling Threatened

Posted: 07 Aug 2012 07:00 AM PDT

Facing the truth upfront rather than turning from it will keep your life moving in a forward and positive direction.

Most of us have had the experience of being in possession of a piece of truth that we were afraid to share because we knew it would not be well received. There are also instances in which we ourselves have been unable to handle some truth confronting us. This might be a small truth, such as not wanting to see that our car needs repairs because we don't want to pay for them, or a large truth, such as not fully accepting that someone close to us is pushing us away. Usually the truth is evident, and we can see it if we choose, but we have elaborate ways of hiding the truth form ourselves, no matter how apparent it is.

For the most part, we avoid the truth because it scares us, or makes us angry, or makes us feel like we don't know what to do. We often create our lives based on a particular understanding, and if that understanding turns out to be fully or even partially incorrect, we may feel that our whole sense of reality is being threatened. It takes a strong person to face the truth in circumstances like these, and many of us run for cover instead. Nevertheless, we can only avoid the truth for so long before it begins to make itself known in ever more forceful ways.

Ultimately, there is no way to avoid the truth, no matter how painful it is, so the sooner we let down our defenses, the better. When we know the truth and accept that we may have to adjust our lives to accommodate, we are in alignment with reality. At the same time, we can be patient with people around us who have a hard time seeing the truth, because we know how painful it can be. Whatever the truth is, we make a sincere effort not to close our eyes to it, but instead to be grateful that we have access to it. -by Madisyn Taylor

Horse Hair Analysis for Holistic Equine Health Care

Posted: 07 Aug 2012 04:00 AM PDT

by premasagar

Article by Leon

Every Equestrian has come across a horse with unsolved problems. Often it has nothing to do with a horse's quality, pedigree or talent. Issues keep appearing that seemingly have no solution, and no amount of blood testing, bute, feed changes or layoffs seem to fix the problem. It's a very frustrating situation. Well-respected equine veterinarian, Dr. Mark DePaolo of Wilsonville, Oregon, has found at least one answer.

A majority of my practice consists of Chiropractic and Acupuncture treatments, Dr. DePaolo says. "There are horses that seem unable to hold an adjustment. Like many veterinarians I have used blood testing as an important source of diagnostic information. It's a good resource for acute problems, crisis situations and liver or kidney issues, but it does not address long term recurring problems. I decided to try hair analysis. It's frequently used with humans, but rarely with horses. What I discovered changed the way I work with and treat horses."

A majority of today's equine problems are nutritionally related. Allergies, Cushings, Equine Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy (EPSM), chronic body soreness, mystery lameness and a myriad of other conditions often involve mineral and/or electrolyte deficiencies and heavy metal toxicities. Blood testing would indicate that the horse was normal while Horse Hair Analysis would show serious imbalances.

So many of the horses I test this way, at least 8 out of 10, come back with some sort of irregularity, says Dr. DePaolo. "The test allows us to understand the full range of a horse's biochemistry and promote overall health with a customized supplement nutrition plan."

Dr. DePaolo has had some stunning success stories utilizing Horse Hair Analysis. "Hot Spot stopped drinking and eating away from home and I feared colic. Horse Hair Analysis turned up a mineral deficiency. Image was depressed, overweight and had foot issues. He had toxic levels of arsenic in his system and Horse Hair Analysis actually saved his life."

Then t! here was "Tex" the reiner everyone thought was an abused horse. It turned out his skin hurt all over from a serious lack of electrolytes, iron, zinc, chromium, selenium and cobalt. After altering his feed program, "Tex" changed dramatically and went on to become a National Champion.

'Tex acted oddly and would cringe and act abused whenever you tried to touch him," says LaRae Fletcher Powell. "Horse Hair Analysis showed him to be off the charts low in bio-available Selenium. After 4 weeks on a custom supplement he was a different horse."

A very talented show horse named "Harrison" had problems with anger, anxiety and focus. After Horse Hair Analysis, his personal supplement was formulated with the addition of minerals and electrolytes associated with calming and sedation. He now enjoys his work and his people...and they enjoy him.

Holly is a Thoroughbred that had issues with spooking and overreacting. Although she was trained in dressage her owner never considered showing because of her attitude. Horse Hair Analysis revealed a problem with carbohydrates and a lack of electrolytes, iron, selenium and vitamin E. Her owner, Jeannine, says "The difference in Holly after proper supplementation is like night and day. Now I feel like showing her is imminent."

The Horse Hair Analysis process is simple. Owners submit a small sample of mane hair along with a form and symptom questionnaire. Lab analysis is completed, a report is generated explaining the vitamin and mineral deficiencies and possibility of heavy metal toxicity. A customized nutritional and supplement program is recommended. Re-testing is suggested a year later to assure perfect bio-chemical balance. Once achieved, there are several sustainable supplements available through DePaolo Equine Concepts" to ensure continued optimum good health.

DePaolo Equine Concepts is noted for pioneering new holistic equine health care approaches and for combining traditional medicine with holistic methods. DEC is the only comprehensive Horse Hair Analysis and horse supplements treatment system completely customized to suit the individual horse's needs.

Treating a Panic Attack Holistically

Posted: 07 Aug 2012 03:00 AM PDT

by Bods

Article by Madeleine Innocent

Having a panic attack can be terrifying in itself. And embarrassing when you have recovered.

But it's worth knowing that having a panic attack is your body's way of telling you that danger is about and to get out of the situation. Fast. That is, if the panic has come out of seemingly nowhere.

If you have regular attacks, it's more likely that the reason is because you were in a terrifying space when you where growing up and needed to be on high alert constantly. But now your system can't adapt to a more calming environment. It needed to previously, but now maybe it doesn't.

So if you have a panic attack for no reason that you can see either at the time or in hindsight, then it might be time to gently let your body know it doesn't need to react quite so defensively.

Signs of panic can include any of the following symptoms:

restlessness, can't keep stillagitationnightmaresrapid or shallow breathingsweatingpalpitationsnumbness or tingling in cheeks, hands or feettremblingfrozen in mind and/or body

It's good to know that help is at hand. And in the form that will not drug your senses or cause side effects.

Homeopathy works by gently removing the initial cause. So it is goes in deep and sorts out what needs to be fixed.

If you take the homeopathic medicine Aconite each time you can feel yourself going into an attack, it will (in the vast majority of cases) quieten you down. As soon as you feel it coming back, you take another dose. It won't be many doses before you're calm again.

Whilst Aconite may not permanently cure your panic attacks, it is likely to help a lot at the time. For deeper and permanent resolution, you may need to see a professional homeopath.
