Homeopathic treatment is a treatment for depression and the related symptoms. There are many different kinds of depression that come equipped with their own symptoms and causes. The causes can range from loss of a pet, family member, job, a traumatic experience or even for no reason at all. The symptoms are easily recognizable. Here are a few: fatigue, loss of interest in things you used to like, loss of compassion or care, anxiety, and insomnia. Many patients feel that there is no way out. A lot of people do not want pills and drugs or counseling. Since these are the most common types of treatment, there may seem that there is no cure. The answer? Homeopathic treatment.
Homeopathic treatment is a safe and effective way to treat and cure depression and its symptoms. It is natural and mineral-based. The effects are largely on the body’s systems. Biology and psychology go hand in hand; if one is affected, the other will most likely be as well. This treatment focuses on both biological and psychological causes and symptoms and treats both. This treatment is not very common yet. This is for a few reasons; it is quite expensive, it takes a long time and there are only a few Homeopathic treatment centers located in the United States.
This treatment uses different combinations of different therapeutical value, such as natural pills, people and music. Again, the combinations and types of treatment will vary depending on each particular patient. It is usually given in small doses. These doses can be administered in a variety of ways; pellets, drops, pills, globules, granules and liquids. Exact Homeopathy treatments are difficult to decide for each person individually. So, scientists decided to look at each form of depression, the causes, symptoms, effects, and the bio and psychological effects. Then, they were able to group most cases of depression and treat each patient accordingly. Of course, the doses and exact treatments will differ for each person according to health, weight, height, age, etc. This is another reason this treatment is not so popular: this is very difficult and time-consuming for both doctor and patient. This treatment and research also cost a lot of money to the doctors and research facilities.
Since there are so many different types of depression, thus there are many different types of Homeopathic treatment to cure each one, according to symptoms and causes. Some of these types include Pulsatilla, which helps with mood swings and crying for no reason, Natrum Muriaticum, curing the people who shut down when they get sad or angry, and Staphysagria, which treats those who have problems with extreme anger and strong sexual desires. These are just a few common Homeopathic treatments; there are eight well-known or main treatments, but many others that are not as popular.
Questions have been raised, challenging the effectiveness of this treatment. Some claim it is not safe or even effective. Others claim that they have been afflicted with another unrelated biological problem at the time of his or her Homeopathic treatment. The opposing side would argue that this treatment is 100 percent safe and effective. The remedies are all natural and work with the body instead of overriding the systems or overpowering something within the patient’s body. The ingredients in the drug aspects of the treatment are natural and have the same effects as the drug being extracted from a fruit or something of that sort. Homeopathic treatment has been questioned many times, but if you are looking for a cure that is not drugs or therapy, then this could be right for you.

Personal Health Care: Avoiding Alcohol
Alcohol is the universal drink whenever celebrations or get together comes. Although it is considered as a kind of chemical that has a formidable effect on the body and it is not labeled as food. There are several kinds of alcohol. There is alcohol that people use externally and another that the body use internally.
Drinkable alcohol is ethyl alcohol. Fermentation is the process that is used to make the alcohol that people drink. Even though alcohol is widely drank by almost everyone, there are several health considerations on what alcohol can do to our body.
How does alcohol affect the body?
- If a person drank only a small amount of alcohol, it can make him feel relaxed.
- If a person drank more than what is expected, there may have certain alterations with the person’s attitude and behavior. The person can do silly or violent things and their movements become uncoordinated.
Truth is, when a person drinks alcohol, no matter how much the intake is, the only thing that is affected is that person’s balance and coordination. That’s it. It doesn’t affect the way people think and speak. When alcohol goes into a person’s bloodstream, it slows down whatever messages that are coming into the brainbecause alcohol is a depressant drug. That’s why when you feel depressed and you drink alcohol, you will feel more depressed.
Alcohol affects the liver badly. Especially if you made alcohol drinking as part of your everyday living. When it goes to the system, it will take the liver about 24-48 hours to excrete every single alcohol inside the body. When the liver can no longer clean the alcohol, it stays on the liver, thus diseases like liver cirrhosis are produced.
There are several factors that can influence a person to drink alcohol:
- Peer pressure. If you’ve chosen a group of friends that drinks alcohol severely, it will seem that you’re out of place if you didn’t try even a sip. As long as you are within the group, you’ll start to enjoy the taste of alcohol and want more.
- Socialization. Gathering and celebrations always entail alcohol drinking. It is very seldom that you encounter a party without alcohol.
- Curiosity. Kids often get curious with the way adults drink alcohol. When they see their parents drinking, they will ask themselves a lot of things. And because the environment of laughter and cheers are very inviting, there will come a time when they will take the opportunity of trying too.
- Depression. Your boss hates you. Your girlfriend dumped you. You’re completely broke. When you arrive home, there, you see the three bottles of beer sitting on top of your fridge. You grab it and start wondering how your life can end at the very moment. During sadness and melancholy times, a bottle of beer is your only best friend.
Drinking alcohol can have its benefits and downfalls. It can greatly affect a person’s entire being and the way he deals with other people.
One very good benefit of alcohol is that it can dilate blood vessels with the prescribed amount by the doctor. Thus, increasing the amount of blood that flows around the body which is good for the heart. Realizing all the good and bad factors alcohol bring,it would be safe to say that if you can’t avoid it totally, then for your personal health care, drink moderately.

Staying Healthy While Injured
It is a common notion that exercise is one of the standard ways of keeping a person physically fit and physiologically efficient. It is also an avenue of gaining muscles or losing weight. A person who is involved in the exercise is exposed to normal stressors which activate a response from within the body to cope up and meet the demands of such activities. This raises the level of output of a person to some extent and that is a good and beneficial thing because the body is then able to level off with the present. However, there are times when we are injured due to an inappropriate method, or because of an accident, or some other reason. Staying healthy while injured is still possible while exercising without risking the injured body part of further damages or complications.
There is a simple mnemonic called RICE which could aid us how to treat any injury that we have and stay healthy without complicating our injuries further. This stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevate.
Rest
With a body injury that we are conscious about, it may be accompanied with pain and discomfort especially with ambulation. Because of this, we may actually not want to move it about and put any pressure on it with activities or such. The only ways to stop these feelings of discomfort and pain would be to take pain killers or rest the injured part. Having to let the injured body part rest is essential for that specific part to efficiently speed up its healing process. Staying healthy while injured may still be accomplished by having the other body parts continue with the exercise routines.
Ice
Right after an injury like a sprain or strain, the affected joint or body part begins to swell as body fluids starts to rush to the injury site. This would prove a very uncomfortable feeling and a sensation of numbness if the swelling would cause the impingement of surrounding nerves as well.
This usually happens from several minutes to a few hours after the injury. Healing also becomes a little slower after a swell because the affected area if already full with non-healing fluid. What is needed after an injury that would probably cause a swelling is to apply ice packs on the affected body part and immediate area surrounding it. This is to prevent any vascular vessel to openly allow the flow of fluidtowards it. Since the body is designed to normally shut constrict vessels when cold stimuli is applied, it would help in the slowdown and prevention of unwanted swelling.
However, proper care should be observed as not to totally numb the senses with the cold ice. Maintaining a temperature of 10 to 15 degrees Celsius for not more than 15 minutes should be safe. Any longer, and the vascular vessels begin to take a Rebound Effect and actually does the reverse effect for the intended purpose.
Compress
Compression is simply the act of wrapping the injured body part with a bandage and covering them securely and snugly to add pressure to the injury. This is done with a couple of hand towels or a bandage wrap. The ice that is supposed to be applied previously could be applied with a compressive method. Furthermore, compression allows for the effect of the ice to be in constant contact with the injured body part.
Elevate
Elevating the body part after securely fastening and stabilizing the injured body part increases the level of comfort for the person and also speeds up the uninterrupted healing process.
Staying healthy when injured may impede a certain level of maximum body activity efficiency, but still allows continued exercise routine for other unaffected body parts.
Just make sure that priority on this would be to securely prevent any other movements or unnecessary pressure to be placed on the injury.

False Assumptions In Staying Healthy
If there are the different tips and paradigms that are constantly distributed in society regarding health in general and staying healthy, there are also many false assumptions in staying healthy.
These false assumptions pertaining to steps or practices to stay healthy may be risky for an individual. Worse, one of these false assumptions may lead to illness if done improperly to a significant extent.
Fallacy 1: Eating Too Much While Still Young Is Reasonable
We have this common notion that as long as we are still young, we can be lenient and just eat what we want without moderation. We can always argue anyhow that our young bodies can still take some sort of nutritional punishment and would be able to rectify the effects afterwards.
The truth about this is that though we are actually able to rectify such situation, the damage has begun already. Furthermore, we do not know at what age our body starts to not be able to restore the optimal health status at full efficiency. For example, eating high cholesterol food would have a preemptive effect of deposits in the arteries. Before long, this would reach a stage wherein the process is irreversible and may cause the life of the person.
Even if there was a reason that ageing is part of life and that even how much we try to choose the right food our bodies would still deteriorate anyway, the thought of why would we hasten the process of ageing by introducing unwanted radicals to our cells should be enough to keep us on the right way of thinking.
Fallacy 2: Not Eating Carbohydrates Will Make You Lose Weight Faster
Another common misconception is that we would be able to lose weight faster if we didn't eat any food that is rich in carbohydrates. This would account breads, rice, and other starchy foods. Though it is a fact that these types of food are high in calories,carbohydrate deprivation will not contribute to faster weight loss. Certain parts of the body would require some nutrients that come along with carbohydrates in rice and other starches such as Vitamin B complex.
Furthermore, sticking to an alternative diet such as pure protein will not help one lose weight faster.
Fallacy 3: Starving Will Help You Lose Weight
A much more drastic misconception is the notion that skipping meals would lead to a faster weight loss. Ideally, that should be the case if the aspect of caloric intake is the only thing to be considered.
However, there are also some other aspects such as ulcer developing in the gastrointestinal area, or perhaps a retroactive effect on the body of the starving individual wherein the body signals the brain that there is nutritive deprivation. The latter would cause the metabolism of the individual to slow down significantly to cope up with the body's current situation.
Furthermore, if the body is further subjected to much more food deprivation, the body will not be using the fats right away. The surrounding muscles cells will start to take the brunt leading to muscle atrophy.
These are just some of the most common fallacies that are freely thought of by the people who haven't been properly educated about them. Nevertheless, one of the only eternal aspect of staying healthy is of the self, along it is self responsibility and self control.

This means that if you want to lose weight, you need to step back and see where your health flaws in your lifestyle lay.
If you are the type of person to indulge in fast food, sweets and other high calorie indulgences on a regular basis, you can probably safely say that your weight issues are not genetic or health related.
If you want to honestly see what your health and eating habits are, you can always make yourself up a health and weight profile to see exactly where your flaws are.To start out, go ahead and make a chart that shows for every day what you ate, when you ate it and how many calories you ingested. While you make your chart, do not forget to list all the liquids you ingested too.

The next logical step is to pay a visit to your doctor to find out how many calories you need in your daily diet. You can also browse the net for dieting tips and tricks as well. Typically, the amount of calories you need is determined by calculating your weight, height, age and the amount of exercise you get on any given week.Once you have calculated the calories necessary to have in your diet, look back and pay attention to what you recorded as having eaten in the last couple of weeks that you kept your health journal for.
This journal allows you to notice how much higher your calorie intake is than it should be. As you look over your list, use a highlighter to mark all the food that you consumed that is not good for a healthy life. This of course includes foods such as soda, candy, fast food and other high calorie items.
Even though it is okay to have some of these foods now and again, they should be a once in a while treat, not a part of your daily eating plan. After all, it is these foods that caused you to become unhealthy in the first place, so less is definitely more.The only way that you will lose weight and keep it off is to change your past bad eating habits and create a new healthy lifestyle for yourself.
Allow room in your journal for recording how much you exercise. Ideally, you will want to incorporate exercise into your daily routine a few times each week. In fact, it is suggested that you exercise at least three to five times a week.
Your journal will allow you to see if you are getting enough exercise or if your lifestyle could use some more activity. At this point you can determine what type of exercise you want to bring into your life if you find that you need more.
Exercise does not need to mean visits to the gym; you can get into shape in many different ways. For example, opt to take a long walk instead of sitting indoors or you can take the stairs instead of the elevators.
Exercise is an incredibly important part when it comes to creating a healthy lifestyle for you. Overall, it is actually exercise that is even more essential that your diet. Start today by making your diet and exercise journal and tracking your way to a much healthier lifestyle.
