How to Use Palmtherapy to Ease Grief

How to Use Palmtherapy to Ease Grief



The ability to ease your grief lies in the palm of your hand. Literally. Palmtherapy centers around the idea that your palm is to your brain what a keyboard is to a computer. Lines in your hands represent energy pathways of your personality traits. By stimulating these lines, you can quickly change your mood, thinking patterns, behavior and talents.







Things You'll Need:





Palmtherapy resource book




Computer with Internet access









1


Read up on Palmtherapy on Moshe Zwang's website (see Resources below). He discusses his hypothesis and experiences practicing palmtherapy.





2


Watch a video which explains how to do palmtherapy. It's available on Zwang's website.





3


Buy Moshe Zwang's book "Palm Therapy: Program Your Mind Through Your Palms--A Major Breakthrough in Palmistry." It's available at the Palmtherapy website.





4


Sit down and practice Palmtherapy. Refer to Zwang's research book for hand maps and tips about massaging.





5


Massage the key lines of the hand that correlate with your grief. Use your thumb to walk along the palm line. Apply steady pressure for up to 20 seconds. Breathe deeply and evenly.





6


Find a certified palm therapist to provide you with a more complete experience. Look for one who is a member of the International Palmtherapy Association. There is a list on Moshe Zwang's website.





7


Set up a session with the palm therapist. They typically last an hour. The palm therapist will examine your hands and stimulate the palm lines that help ease your grief.








Tips & Warnings

Consider attending one of Moshe Zwang's worldwide seminars. There's a schedule on his website.








Palmtherapy is not a substitute for psychiatric treatment or psychotherapy.

How to Use Natural Ingredients to Cure the Common Cold

How to Use Natural Ingredients to Cure the Common Cold



Each year, especially when winter rolls around, there's no hiding from them. They're floating in the air, lingering on
phones
and door knobs, and clinging to computer keyboards. They're even lurking on the fingers of the new neighbor's hand you just shook. Once they have struck, each victim can count on a runny nose, harsh cough, sore throat and other miserable ailments. The culprits of this misery are rhinoviruses and they're the cause of the common cold, which is the most common acute illnesses in the U.S. and the Western world, according to Ray Sahelian, medical doctor and author of "The Common Cold Cure." Luckily, there are several natural ingredients to vanquish these vile viruses.







Things You'll Need:





Garlic




Eucalyptus oil




Ginger root




Thyme




Exotic mushrooms









1


Garlic is a powerful seasoning agent in the kitchen, but it's just as powerful in the medicinal world, too. "The best home remedy I have found for colds is to eat several cloves of raw garlic at the first onset of symptoms," said Andrew Weil, medical doctor and director of the Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona. Raw garlic is an effective antibiotic, especially active against fungal infections. Weil said that "garlic loses its antibiotic properties when you cook or dry it, and commercial garlic capsules do not preserve the full activity of the fresh bulb." He suggested chopping it up into fine pieces and mixing it with food, or swallowing pieces like pills.





2


A second natural cold alternative is eucalyptus oil. Weil said that eucalyptus is a "natural antibacterial agent," and it brings relief to respiratory problems including chest congestion, bronchitis, sinusitis, sore throat and laryngitis. The aromatic oils will help stop bacterial growth and reduce the risk of getting secondary infections, Weil said. Add a handful of eucalyptus leaves or a teaspoon of essential oil to boiling water and for a steam inhalation.





3


Another herb with a natural anti-inflammatory agent is ginger root. Because of it's anti-inflammatory, anti-nauseant and warming qualities, ginger is soothing for bronchial congestion, according to Weil. "Ginger root tea helps relieve head and chest congestion while staving off chills," Weil said.





4


Another cold-busting herb is thyme. "Thyme tea, with or without a spoonful of honey, is an excellent home remedy for colds, sinus congestion, sore throat and tonsillitis," said Andrew Chevallier, former president of National Institute of Medical Herbalists and author of the Encyclopedia of Medicinal Plants. He said the tea should be gargled then swallowed to disinfect the air passages, relieve coughing and stimulate the clearance of phlegm.





5


Ultimate immune-boosting ingredients are certain kinds of mushrooms like Maitake, Reishi and enoki because they are rich sources of natural antibiotics that combat bacteria and viruses, according to Paul Stamet's article in HerbalGram titled Novel Antimicrobials from Mushrooms. "Since humans and fungi share common microbial antagonists like E.coli and Staph infection, humans can benefit from the natural defensive strategies of fungi that produce antibiotics to fight the infection," Stamets said.








Tips & Warnings










People with blood-clotting disorders should consult their doctor before using garlic medicinally.








Garlic may cause a burning sensation in the mouth. If garlic enters the milk of nursing mothers, it may cause colic in the infant.








Do not ingest eucalyptus.








When using thyme, use the plant and not the oil, which can be toxic and cause headache, nausea, vomiting, weakness, and heart and respiratory depression. People with thyroid conditions should consult their doctor before using thyme medicinally. May cause rash to some people who are sensitive to thyme.








Mushrooms should be cooked because some have a high toxic level when raw.

How to Use Iridology as a Diagnostic Tool

How to Use Iridology as a Diagnostic Tool



Iridology is a form of alternative medicine dealing with the connection between the iris of the eye and the nerves in the rest of the body. The iris is examined for markings and for cell changes which could indicate problems elsewhere in your body. Iridology is not used as a diagnostic tool for specific illnesses or conditions. Rather, it's a tool to discover possible problem areas in the body and make the patient aware of these vulnerabilities. Follow these steps to learn how to use iridology as a diagnostic tool.







Things You'll Need:





Iridoscope




Computer with Internet access




Iridology chart




Iridology camera




Certified Iridology Practitioner







Use Iridology as a Tool to Locate Problem Areas




1


Use an iridoscope to magnify the iris. A rudimentary magnification tool can be made using a flashlight and a magnifying glass. A professional-grade iridoscope is better suited for diagnostic purposes, though.





2


Take a picture of the enhanced iris with an iridology camera to execute a more thorough diagnostic. Having a photograph of the iris will allow the practitioner and patient to view the iris together.





3


Examine the iris picture against an iridology chart to determine what problems could exist and where. Pay attention not only to what kinds of markings there are, including their color and shape, but also to what area of the iris you find them in. This will indicate what organs of the body may be experiencing trouble.





4


Have suspected problem areas examined by a medical doctor to determine if the vulnerabilities indicated by your iris have turned into actual health conditions.





5

How to Reverse Hearing Loss Naturally

How to Reverse Hearing Loss Naturally



Several factors can contribute to hearing loss. Age, of course, is one factor. Sounds of modern life also contribute to the problem. Lawn mowers, power saws, vacuum cleaners and blasting sound systems in movie theaters all contribute. Some natural means may help reverse loss. Read on to learn how to reverse hearing loss naturally.









1


Know that extremely loud noises destroy the tiny inner ear hair cells. These cells signal the auditory nerve to relay sounds to the brain. At least one-third of all hearing loss cases are caused by our loud modern life. Teenagers who love rock concerts can begin to experience ringing in the ears and hearing loss early.





2


Consider the use of nutritional supplements to reverse hearing loss naturally. Researchers looking for a solution to the hearing damage experienced by teenagers attending rock concerts discovered magnesium as a benefit. They found that teenagers taking a dose of magnesium right before heading out to a concert had less possibility of permanent hearing damage. A daily dose of 200 mg of magnesium can promote healthy hearing.





3


Learn that in some cases, hearing loss can be reversed naturally with proper nutrition. Studies have shown that deficiencies of vitamin A and vitamin E can actually cause hearing loss. Adding these supplements to your diet can help reverse hearing loss.





4


Get enough vitamin D in your diet in order to reverse hearing loss naturally. If you don't have enough vitamin D in your system, this causes insufficient amounts of calcium in the fluid of the inner ear. If you don't have enough calcium, the small bones of the inner ear become spongy. This spongy state interferes with sound transmission. Take vitamin D orally, sit in the sunshine for 10 to 20 minutes per day or eat foods high in vitamin D. These foods include salmon, herring, sardines and egg yolk. Cod liver oil also contains a large amount of vitamin D.

How to Wear Chandelier Earrings

How to Wear Chandelier Earrings



In the Roaring Twenties, chandelier earrings were a sign of the Art Deco times. The dangle earring jewelry style remains a popular accessory to this day.







Things You'll Need:





Shopping money or hand-me-downs









Step
1



Shop. Shop. Shop. Anywhere and everywhere. Chandelier earrings are designed for all types of budgets. They can be Tiffany-style with precious gemstones or designer knock-offs from a department store made with beads or shells. Be a creative and thrifty shopper, by checking out antique shops and consignment stores. They could have the real thing for real cheap.




Step
2



Think versatile. Chandelier earrings can be elegant and formal or fun and flirty, depending on what they're worn with and the materials from which they're made. A platinum earring set with Swarovski crystals obviously leans toward dressy. But they can also be worn with a black turtleneck and dark jeans for a contemporary-yet-casual
first date
or Girls Night Out. Be open to goldtone and copper finishes as well as sterling silver.




Step
3



Save face. There are thousands of shapes and makes of chandelier earrings out there, so hold them up in a mirror to make sure they don't overpower that beautiful mug. Some face shapes look great in chandelier earrings, while others come off looking rounder or thinner than preferred.




Step
4



Don't overdo it. Pay attention to other accessories when wearing chandelier earrings. Some are diamond-shaped and spread wide while others have a teardrop shape that helps them hang low. Many are petite and dainty. A necklace probably isn't necessary if the earrings are commanding the majority of the attention. When worn alone with a sweater, blouse or dress with a plunging neckline, chandelier earrings can be the sexiest accessories a woman can wear.







Tips & Warnings









Avoid tragic ear-swelling reactions by buying hypoallergenic earrings.








Don't be afraid to go big if you've never worn earrings larger than studs. Exciting!








If your ears aren't pierced, look for clip-on chandelier earrings.

How to Wear Casual Spring Sandals

How to Wear Casual Spring Sandals



Casual spring

sandals


come in a variety of styles, which include ankle straps, flats, slides, low heels, mid heels, platforms, slingbacks, T-straps and toe loops. Sandals may be woven, acrylic or synthetic material. There are sandal designs to wear for every casual activity throughout the spring and into the summer season.









Step
1



Choose a hook and loop casual sandal to wear in comfort all day long. This style is easy to put on and take off. Hook and loop styles come in a variety of heel heights from flat to 4 inches.




Step
2



Let leather sandals be your choice for long-lasting comfort throughout the spring. Casual designs include thongs, slides, wedges, t-straps and slings. The leather acts as a natural moisture wick to keep your feet dry.




Step
3



Be ready for any casual event when you wear a pair of rubber thongs. The rubber footbed makes the shoe comfortable for those long, outdoor activities.




Step
4



Make your choice of sandals for casual wear this spring be those created with good arch support.




Step
5



Wear sandals with an ankle strap for extra safety. For those with mobility issues, an ankle strap may be just the thing that's needed to make it possible to wear trendy spring sandals while not jeopardizing safety.




Step
6



Select sandals with a lightly padded footbed for more comfort. Standing for long periods or walking on cement floors or sidewalks can cause pain in the feet and lower back if the shoe does not provide good support.




Step
7



Choose a toe ring sandal for chic comfort in a casual shoe for spring. The toe ring gives added structure to the shoe and keeps it from slipping as much as a thong sandal tends to.




Step
8



Try out a pair of rubber sole and rubber upper T-strap sandals with an adjustable ankle strap for casual beach attire. The rubber makes the shoe waterproof and the ankle strap makes it sturdy.







Tips & Warnings









When you try on a pair of casual sandals, don't just slip your foot in to see if you have the right size. Wear them long enough to see if you feel uncomfortable pressure on any part of your foot. Pay particular attention to the arch support.








Sandals without straps to hold the shoe securely on the foot can be hazardous for individuals with poor stability. Sandals that can slip off easily can cause one to trip or fall.
