Mitochondria?

Mitochondria are the power stations of your body. They are in most of your cells and produce energy for all actions in your body. Exercise has direct results on how many mitochondria there are in each cell, especially muscle cells. Basically the more exercise you do, the more mitochondria you have, the more energy you have available so you can achieve so much more during the day. This process is more commonly known as METABOLISM. You can find out more from David Brownley, Personal Trainer at the Fitness works.

What is kinesiology

Kinesiology can be described as the study of muscles and how the body moves, though it is also more of a diagnostic therapy, the Kinesiology Federation gives the following description.

'Kinesiology, literally the study of body movement, is a holistic approach to balancing the movement and interaction of a person's energy systems. Gentle assessment of muscle response monitors those areas where blocks and imbalances are impairing physical, emotional or energetic well -being. The same method can identify factors that may be contributing to such imbalances. The body's natural healing responses are stimulated by attention to reflex and acupressure points, and by use of specific body movements and nutritional support. These can lead to increased physical and mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.'

Herbs for Hypertension

Hypertension is high blood pressure. When blood pressure is measured it is given two numbers and normal blood pressure is around 120/80.

Anything over 140/100 is considered to high. Many factors such as stress, smoking, weight problems, excess coffee and alcohol, and high cholesterol are all considered to affect blood pressure. Any programme to reduce blood pressure will always look at lifestyle and diet factors.

However a number of herbs can help with general cardiac health as well as specifically hypertension, and is one of the most common reasons people seek the help of the herbalist.

Hawthorn is the supreme cardiac herb, that can be taken safely long term. However the individual case will determine the exact combination of herbs prescribed, and could include Mistletoe, Dandelion, Motherwort, Lime Flower and Yarrow.

Homeopathy worked for me

If you have ever had homeopathic treatment and it has worked for you, how about supporting this campaign to raise public awareness of this amazing complementary therapy.

Self Hypnosis for Childbirth.

Many new mothers to be approach the time of birth with what can only be described as great apprehension and concern, usually due to some of the horror stories told by mothers who may have experienced a painful childbirth so the suggestion of pain has already been planted and the mother to be she expects her giving birth is going to be painful, all due to a simple suggestion.
Self hypnosis for childbirth is not something new. In fact hypnosis for anaesthesia for childbirth was used as far back as the 1800’s and not only for childbirth but also in general surgical procedures since the time of Esdaile and Elliotson in the early 1840’s.

Testimonial how refexology helped back pain

Name : Suzannah

After some months of sacral illeac pain in my back and various treatments. I came to see Anne Holloway who was able to help my pain via reflexology.There was an apparent abnormality in my spine and recommended I seek a more detailed consultation with an osteopath. I had injured my coccyx in a fall some years previously and exacerbated this in a bad lifting posture. I had no idea the two events were connected and Anne was able to sort the problem. I found the treatment both amazingly relaxing and informative, I thoroughly recommend it!

Epidurals stop babies breast feeding?

Epidurals are frequently given to women during labour to ease the pain of the birthing process. Up to a third of British women giving birth are routinely given epidurals in which a catheter is inserted into the spine to allow the infusion of pain-killing drugs. These deaden the nerves that relay sensations of pain from the lower body and legs.

Australian researchers have found that a chemical fentanyl found in the pethidine anaesthetic causes problems with lactation within the first week after childbirth.

Drugs used in epidurals are being absorbed by babies

An article in the Times 10 December 2006, stated how research suggested that some of the drugs used in epidurals make their way into the babies blood streams.
If this research is confirmed then it should create an interest in to other no drug taking procedure's e.g Hypnosis for child birth.
