What is Sciatica?

Article courtesy of Native Remedies

The sciatic nerve is the longest peripheral nerve in the body, and runs from the lower back through the pelvis and buttock area, right down to the back of the lower leg. It is an extension of the lower end of the spinal cord and is made up of the lumbar and sacral nerve roots from the spine.

The sciatic nerve runs out of the lower spine, behind the hip joint and down the back of the thigh. Its function is to send signals from the brain to the muscles of your leg and from the leg back to the brain – therefore helping to regulate movement in the limbs. Movement and feeling in the legs and feet are largely dependent on the sciatic nerve, which is very important to quality of life and maintaining normal mobility. Because it originates in the spinal cord, the health of the spinal cord and its vertebra plays a large role in the healthy functioning of the sciatic nerve.

The natural way

There are many things which can be done to support the health and functioning of the sciatic nerve.

Maintaining the health and strength of the vertebra and surrounding tissues is very important. Practice good back health and be sure not to put strain on the lumbar region. Regular back exercises, as well as exercise like swimming and walking, can help to support the integrity of the spine.

Be sure you maintain a healthy posture and consider taking up yoga or Pilates which can help to strengthen the central core of the body. Sleep on an orthopedic mattress to support your back at night.

Eat a healthy diet and take daily supplements known to benefit the health of bone, cartilage and nerves. These include zinc, magnesium, calcium, Vitamin C and manganese. Avoid cigarettes and excess alcohol

“...I started looking on the internet ...and found your SciatiGon remedy. I ordered it immediately and started taking it the minute it arrived.

Don’t weight to beat the bulge!

Article courtesy of Native Remedies

Many people are unhappy with about their body type and weight, and embark on a journey to shape up. Unfortunately, this often leads to a series of fad diets in order to slim down.

While yo-yo dieting may be effective in the short term, in the long run, regular fluctuations in weight can disturb the balance of the body’s metabolism – leading to systemic confusion and a sluggish metabolism, gradually making the task of getting healthy and slimming down increasingly difficult. This slower metabolism can eventually lead to weight gain, even when eating normally.

Some people follow unhealthy weight loss plans such as crash diets, and prescription or over-the-counter medicine to control their appetite. Though many of these products advertise themselves as healthy weight loss supplements, some contain harmful stimulants that raise heart rate and speed up the metabolism in an un-natural way.
Even some so-called natural products for weight management contain ephedra and other harmful stimulants that can have negative effects on the body. Ultimately, the regimenting is unrealistic and the weight lost often returns with a vengeance after the diet or product is stopped.

Healthy weight loss plans that support natural and healthy weight management agree that the most crucial factors are following a healthy diet, exercising a minimum of three times a week, and drinking the equivalent of eight glasses of water a day. Other healthy body slimming tips are incorporating relaxation techniques into your daily routine to better deal with stress. It is well known that our body reacts to stress by releasing cortisol which makes us store fat around the waist and abdominal area.

It is well known that our body reacts to stress by releasing cortisol which makes us store fat around the waist and abdominal area.

Natural remedies offer weight loss supplements that have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to support the healthy functioning of digestion, the metabolism, liver functioning and the healthy breakdown of dietary fat, helping to promote a balanced weight and body type.

In more recent times, research has confirmed this traditional wisdom. There are now many published clinical studies demonstrating the ability of a range of herbs to support the normal functioning of the liver, stomach and digestive system and promote a healthy metabolism.

For instance, hydroxycitric acid (HCA), a derivative of citric acid, is found primarily in a small, sweet, purple fruit called Garcinia cambogia. In an 8-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 60 overweight individuals, use of HCA produced significant weight loss as compared to the placebo.

“The EcoSlim and Detox Drops are a big help and I feel so healthy and full of energy...” -Sam, Cape Town

“I have tried to lose the same 10 lbs for the last year. I have a healthy eating plan and daily moderate exercise. I was becoming completely frustrated because my end of the day hunger always sabotaged my weight loss. Two weeks ago I started taking EcoSlim and Slimmer's Assist and I've been thrilled that my hunger is gone! Even mealtime portions are much smaller and I'm still satisfied. I've already lost 3 lbs. and I'm confident that your products will soon help me reach my goal. I feel just great and want to thank you for the wonderful products.” -Mary, USA

“I tried every diet in the book. I was always on a different diet but if I lost weight it would go straight back on.

Focus, motivation, learning, and memory

Article courtesy of Native Remedies

Our brain is like a virtual filing cabinet where the completed tasks, acquired information, and experiences are all processed and then stored - nothing is lost, instead just taking a little more effort to retrieve.

Clearly, it is important to maintain a healthy nervous system and good, sound brain function. A healthy brain and nervous system depends on the supply and flow of oxygen-rich blood and nutrients to all parts of the brain. A brain which is well supplied with nutrients and oxygen will not only work well, but will also play a part in mood, energy levels and motivation levels. Conversely, a healthy blood supply to the brain will also assist in the removal of carbon dioxide and other gaseous wastes.

The natural way

It stands to reason, therefore, that maintaining an adequate supply of blood to the brain will help to increase oxygen and nutrient supply and maintain a healthy balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the brain – thereby maintaining healthy brain functions like concentration, attention span, mental alertness and memory. These are just a few of the many reasons why regular exercise, healthy diet, and sufficient sleep are all very important to enhance brain function and the nervous system.

Rather than treating problems in isolation, naturopaths prefer to take a holistic look at the individual and incorporate changes in a number of areas including diet, lifestyle, surroundings, and emotional elements - thereby supporting the health of the individual as a whole.

In addition, natural remedies have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to support the healthy functioning of the brain and nervous system, helping to maintain efficient concentration and memory functioning.

In more recent times, research has confirmed this traditional wisdom. There are now many published clinical studies demonstrating the ability of a range of herbs to support the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, and maintain the healthy flow of oxygen and nutrient- rich blood to the brain and peripheries (Pointel JP, Boccalon H, Cloarec M, Ledevehat C, Joubert M. Angiology 1987;38[1 Pt 1]:46-50).

"I've already recommended the Focus ADDult to friends and the head of our Special Ed Department at the school in which I work." -Stephanie, CA, USA

“My whole life I struggled ... When I was a kid I was placed in remedial education. However, with my strong worth ethic and determination I was placed in AP and Honors classes. Even though I made outstanding improvement, my disorganization really affected me. When Focus ADDult arrived two days ago, I took it before a math study group and my friends were alarmed of how fast I grasped topics and how focused I was. After only two days the results have been amazing. I have already finished two chapters in one of my AP classes. I find that I am drinking coffee a lot less, and I am calmer in general. With a combination of self-discipline, work ethic, positive emotions and product support from Native Remedies, I can finally reach my main goals. If all goes well, I plan to purchase some more products! Thank you Native Remedies!" -David, NY, USA

“…Luckily I gave Focus ADDult a try! I can highly recommend it for anyone who wants to (support) study skills and concentration." -Felicity (27 Years Old)

“I just wanted to thank you, thank you, thank you for your Focus ADDult. I have a child (12-year-old 6th grader) …My daughter has been taking your Focus ADDult for about 5-6 weeks, and she has not one failing grade …on her report card. Her last report card had 3! All her grades are up to C's. She feels good about herself and doesn't say anything about drinking her "smart water" every day. I'm also thankful you have the drops, as she has trouble swallowing pills. The drops have rescued her. Thank you so much!” -Vickie, T, USA

ADD Treatment Effective, Natural Remedy

Article courtesy of Native Remedies

There are a number of factors that can affect normal concentration and a person's ability to remain centered.

Children’s bodies are made to move around and their naturally enquiring minds may jump from one thing to the other. However, some children find it more difficult than others to settle down and pay attention and this does not always go down well in the classroom.

It stands to reason, therefore, that by supporting harmony and balance in the brain and soothed nerves, we can create the best climate for concentration to take place. Similarly, if the body’s systems are balanced and functioning as they should, cognitive, emotional and behavioral conditions for concentration are at optimal levels.

The Natural Way

Homeopathic remedies have a long history of use in supporting mental, physical and emotional health, preferring a holistic approach to the suppression of symptoms. Homeopathy operates on the principle of ‘like treats like’, using minute amounts of proven, homeopathically prepared ingredients to support the body to heal itself. Due to the unique homeopathic manufacturing methods, homeopathic remedies are very safe and do not interact negatively with prescription or other OTC medicines. As a result, homeopathic remedies can make all the difference without compromising health.

What is BrightSpark?

BrightSpark is a safe, non-addictive, natural remedy containing 100% homeopathic ingredients especially selected to temporarily relieve hyperactivity, distractibility and impulsiveness in children.

"You've got me shaking my head with surprise and amazement… After 1 day, I swear I thought I was imagining it... but I could tell BrightSpark took the "edge" off my son's personality!" -C.M., MA, USA

“I tried the BrightSpark and Focus Formula as a last resort for my 4-yr-old son when he was about to be removed from his pre-school if his behavior didn't improve. I absolutely could not believe the difference in behavior and impulse control after he began these supplements. Within a week he was like a different child! The difference was dramatic. I was shocked when the school recently told me my son was one of the best kids in the class! Outbursts and problems are rare now and quality of life has improved for the whole family. I couldn't be more thankful for these products.” -Leia, OH, USA

“My 5 year old son was diagnosed …I had done a lot of research on natural ways to help him. I came across your website and have had him on the BrightSpark along with the Focus Formula. We have also done a lot of diet control, natural vitamins … I can't tell you the how much your products have helped him… He is doing much better in school… he is back to our loving, caring, humorous little boy. We were dealing with hitting, kicking, spitting, talking back and very hyper before. He has changed so much and I can't tell you how happy we are along with the rest of his family. ...We can't thank you enough. I can't figure out why the doctors don't recommend these types of products for people. Thanks again!” -Lori, NY, USA

Maintaining Emotional Balance

Article courtesy of Native Remedies

To a great extent, modern fast-paced lifestyles have been instrumental in raising a number of psychological and physiological issues. While health issues have long been in the media spotlight, behavioral and emotional issues struggle to find their rightful place and are often underplayed. Road rage has become more of a rule than exception. We tend to get unreasonably angry even without instigation, experience extreme sorrow even at events that may not merit such a reaction, and get annoyed without a justifiable reason.

Since these reactions have become a part and parcel of life, they are shrugged off as a transient phase in which one has lost emotional balance. It is only when the frequency of such incidents or events increases that we realize that we are overwhelmed and stressed. At this point, it suddenly dawns upon us that we have been like this for a while without having any idea about how it all happened.

Maintaining emotional balance is not only about managing emotions by eliminating negative thoughts, it is also about learning how to keep emotions under control. Howsoever positive you may be in your outlook, there is a high probability that adverse events will provoke negative emotions. It is your capacity to feel emotions in a balanced manner that helps in promoting your overall emotional health.

It is important to understand that a healthy body houses a healthy mind. The mind is responsible for one’s thoughts and feelings. It is the seat of the faculty of reason which determines how you feel and control a particular emotion. The emotions that you feel are actually physical responses in the nervous system, and therefore your overall health determines how well you are able to control them.

Eat healthy foods and avoid and restrict intake of coffee and alcohol. Exercise is extremely important. First, understand the level of your tolerance and then stick to the exercise regimen based on it. Getting sufficient relaxation and sleep is equally important. If you wake up feeling restful, you are liable to respond positively throughout the day.

Besides these, there are other steps that you may take to maintain your emotional balance.

* Organize and manage your time. Do one thing at a time instead of working in a haphazard manner.

* Set realistic goals that are achievable. Don’t set expectations that are at such a stretch that they are impossible to achieve.

* Express your emotions. Emotions that let to build up within tend to come out forcefully.

* Make positive affirmations to yourself and do it repeatedly so that they have an affect on your subconscious mind.

* Avoid mood-altering drugs.

Remember that you cannot control all situations. A healthy body and a positive attitude can effectively change the way you look at them. These not only help in approaching a situation calmly, but can also increase confidence and your ability to cope with negative emotions.

The natural way

A lot can be done to naturally maintain emotional health and a healthy positive mental attitude.

It is a good idea to keep your natural feel-good chemicals flowing by eating lots of fresh fruit and vegetables and whole grain foods, ensuring plenty of fresh air, adequate sleep, moderate sunshine and regular exercise. Many healthy foods (e.g. bananas, turkey and carbohydrates) contain nutritional precursors of serotonin and this makes them natural ‘mood foods’ to maintain healthy serotonin levels!

Also, never underestimate the power of a few stolen minutes during the workday (or school day) to rejuvenate the spirit and relax the mind – meditation, yoga or listening to a calming CD can all promote relaxation. Smoking, recreational drugs and alcohol can all depress the nervous system and affect the balance of neurotransmitters like serotonin – so try to cut back or avoid these habits for the sake of your emotional as well as your physical health.

MindSoothe is a 100% safe, non-addictive, natural herbal remedy that has been especially formulated by a Clinical Psychologist for adults and teens, and comes in a compact capsule form, making it easy to take.

Panic Attack Treatments - Take Your Life Back

Article courtesy of Native Remedies

You might already know that there are a number of treatment options available for people suffering from debilitating panic attacks. Many of these options belong to the natural remedies category and they promise to offer instant as well as long term relief from panic attacks. You can take your pick from herbal tablets, liquids and capsules.

Panic Attack Treatments - Popular Products

Most of the popular natural panic attack treatments have propriety ingredients, which are usually plant or vegetable extracts. For example, Nerve Tonic is one such product and it taken by the sublingual method - meaning it is dissolved under the tongue. Nerve Tonic is not at all addictive and can be discontinued at any time.

Similarly, another product worth mentioning is PureCalm, which manages to tackle panic attacks using the theory of aromatherapy. All you need to do is have about twelve to twenty drops of PureCalm per day and you will feel yourself more calm and relaxed. PureCalm is 100% natural and does not have any side effects.

Natural Treatments And Group Programs

Understanding the reason behind your panic attacks can also help you cope with them better. Natural treatments for anxiety include group therapy programs that focus on panic attack treatment and help people overcome them without any medications (pharmaceutical or otherwise). You can search for a program in your area and join one - you might just be surprised at how taking a simple class can help you manage your panic and anxiety attacks.

Massage And Acupressure

Many people consider massages as relief only for physical problems. However, special techniques such as acupressure and shiatsu are known to provide anxiety relief as they for focus on certain stress points of the body and exercise those points. This is probably one the best ways to fight panic attacks; however, they do take some time to have an effect. Therefore, you need to be patient when using acupressure and massage remedies to help you overcome anxiety.

There are new innovations in the field of panic and anxiety relief on a regular basis so it is quite likely that you will be able to find newer ways to treat your panic and anxiety attacks in the years to come.

Advice for people with social anxiety disorder

Article courtesy of Native Remedies

Social anxiety is a type of anxiety disorder that is characterized by the fear of being embarrassed, judged negatively or evaluated by other people in a social setting. A person with this disorder experiences physical symptoms of anxiety when he is in a social situation even though he may be perfectly calm and normal in the privacy of his home.

As a result of these symptoms, such people tend to avoid social situations at all costs and this can lead to severe impairment of social, interpersonal and occupational life. Forcing such people to be sociable can cause the onset of a panic attack and such harsh measures should be avoided at all times.

As per The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry (1198:59, Supplement 17, 4:9), there are two kinds of social anxiety disorders. These are generalized social anxiety disorder and specific social anxiety disorder.

In case of a generalized social anxiety disorder, the person affected avoids all kinds of social interactions whereas in the case of a specific social anxiety disorder only a few situations that cause anxiety are avoided. Given that 40 percent of those who develop a social anxiety disorder start exhibiting symptoms of the condition before the age of ten and 95% by the age of twenty, it is important for parents to keep a look out of symptoms that may give warning signs of things to come.

This however does not mean that general shyness should be mistaken for a social disorder. Many children are shy but grow out of their shyness as they reach their teens. The symptoms of social anxiety disorder are excessive avoidance of any or a specific kind of social situation, feeling extremely self-conscious in public accompanied by a lack of self-worth and a strong escape instinct in social settings.

People with this disorder tend to avoid being introduced to new people, cannot take a joke on themselves, do not like to be the center of attraction in a party and at times avoid parties and gatherings. They become embarrassed easily and avoid meeting people's eyes and are shifty and uneasy in the presence of strangers. In case you feel that you or someone whom you know shows these symptoms of a social disorder, then there are ways and means of seeking social anxiety relief.

You could go in for Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) that is based on the premise that your own thoughts are the cause of the disorder and are not triggered off by the behavior of other people. Those who practice this therapy can help in identifying the situations that cause anxiety, arrive at the underlying reasons for the social anxiety and use techniques like role playing and social skill training to overcome these barriers.

Exposure Therapy is another means of providing anxiety relief. This involves a controlled and safe exposure to anxiety causing situations. Sometimes uneasy situations are created in comfortable settings and repeated exposure to such a setting can lead to a situation where one can handle that situation by oneself without experiencing a panic attack.

Medications like antidepressants and beta-blockers can also be used in extreme cases but should be used only as the last resort. In fact, the panic attack treatments that are gaining prominence are natural treatments for anxiety and include herbal remedies and techniques like slow breathing and positive self-talk.

You can also look for support groups who undergo similar issues while facing similar situations on the Internet and open up to them. One can obtain great ideas on how to handle various situations just by talking to other people who empathize with your situation.

The natural way

A lot can be done to support a healthy ability to relax and slow down. One way of doing this is to keep your mind producing its own natural feel good chemicals by eating lots of fresh fruit and vegetables and whole grain foods, getting plenty of fresh air and sunshine and exercising regularly.
Practicing relaxation techniques, meditation or even taking time for a regular walk on the beach can all help to reduce stress levels and facilitate a feeling of calm – helping us to wind down and relax.
Natural remedies can also help to support the nervous system and to keep nerves settled and soothed – to enable us to cope more easily with the everyday stresses of our modern existence. In fact, natural remedies have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to support the healthy functioning of the brain and nervous system.
In more recent times, research has confirmed this traditional wisdom. There are now many published clinical studies demonstrating the ability of a range of herbs to support the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system and maintain a healthy equilibrium - which will assist with staying calm under pressure. (Akhondzadeh S, Naghavi HR, Vazirian M, Shayeganpour A, Rashidi H, Khani M. “Passionflower in the treatment of generalized anxiety: a pilot double-blind randomized controlled trial with oxazepam.” J Clin Pharm Ther. 2001;26(5):369-373.)

PureCalm is a 100% safe, non-addictive herbal remedy that has been specially formulated by a Clinical Psychologist for adults and children.
PureCalm can been used to safely maintain harmony, health and systemic balance in the brain and nervous system, without harmful side effects.

It’s All in Your Head

Various theories agree that emotions can cause noticeable physical changes in the body. These physical changes can be perceived as body sensations. For example, fear causes an increase in heartbeat, and happiness induces an expansive feeling in the chest and a feeling of lightness. Your attitude and cognitive abilities towards life events largely determines your response and feeling. A positive mental attitude is very good insurance against temperamental mood swings and can ensure good physical and emotional health.

A negative approach to life leads to a depletion of energy, reducing overall vigor, causing feelings of depression and lethargy. Positivity, on the other hand, energizes and motivates. You can help yourself to attain a positive mental attitude. This can ultimately affect your performance at work; give you overall happiness, and a better temperament.

The following are some helpful suggestions that can be implemented with simple lifestyle and motivational changes.

* Idling, unless you are resting with a purpose, can lead to negative thoughts. There is an old saying that ‘an empty mind is a devil’s workshop’. Keep busy with physical and mental activities, and rest only when you need to. While resting, try to connect with your spirituality. Inner peace comes more easily with faith, and ultimately leads to positive thoughts.

* Writing down your thoughts is also a good idea. Make a list and then sift through it later. Try and rephrase all pessimistic thoughts in a positive manner until it becomes habit. Avoid using “no”, “don’t”, and “cannot” as much as you can. By rewriting your negative thoughts, you will actually train your mind to think more positively.

* Love transforms us all. The habit of showing love and expressing it has been lost in the rat race. Absence of love is one of the basic causes of depression, anxiety, and anger. Love others unconditionally and allow yourself to be loved.

* Nothing elevates mood better than laughter. Watch comedy shows regularly or simply act silly to make yourself laugh. It is a good breathing and facial exercise, and helps to elevate spirits.

* Lack of proper communication often leads to bad blood, even among friends. Make sure that you do not make statements frivolously without thinking of the impact it may have on the other person. Avoid caustic remarks.

* Carrying emotional baggage is sure to make you retain negativity. “Forget and forgive” is the best way to move forward in life. The past has happened and is gone forever. Focus on the present and the goodness that lies within you.

* Help others, and you will find that it gives rise to a lot of positive thoughts.

* If you find your thoughts wandering, try to change your environment-- go for a walk or meet a friend. Wandering thoughts are more likely to focus on the negative. Changing the environment lets you divert your attention to better and positive things.
