Treating Eczema with Reflexology

Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version 

Reflexology, the act of applying pressure to the feet and hands with specific thumb, finger and hand techniques, has been around for nearly 3,000 years. Although it is not as common in the West as other forms of alternative medicine, many people have found it to be effective. It is also still frequently used in the East for a variety of ills, including eczema and other skin conditions.

How reflexology works is somewhat in question. Some say that reflexology techniques manipulate specific areas of the hands and feet that correspond to parts of the body and that these techniques, in turn, manipulate "qi" - translated from the Chinese as "life force" or "spiritual energy." Western medicine doesn't generally acknowlege the existence of life force or spiritual energy, but it is the essence of medicine in many parts of the East.

Having a Baby? Treat your Feet.

Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version 

PUTTING your feet up is always a treat. And never more so than when pregnant, especially if your tootsies are being expertly massaged by a specially trained therapist.

Maternity reflexology can be a little slice of pampering heaven -- or so say expectant mothers-to-be.

What makes it even better is that this therapy is endorsed by maternity hospitals including the National Maternity Hospital in Dublin's Holles St as the evidence mounts of its benefits, especially in labour.

It is said to encourage the body's innate ability to restore a healthy balance during this challenging and changing time for your body.

A broken heart is a real medical condition

Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version 

A broken heart isn't just a condition conjured up by romantic novelists it's a real medical complaint.

Its correct medical term is Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, and it mimics most of the symptoms of a heart attack. And just like the broken heart of the novels, it happens after some stressful and upsetting event.

The condition was first recognised by Japanese researchers around 15 years ago, and now researchers at the Miriam Hospital and Rhode Island Hospital in America have shed new light on it after studying 70 patients with the complaint.

Stroke of Luck

He was a frail elderly gentleman out for a free breakfast of sausage and pancakes at one of the many locations offering this morning treat as a celebration of Edmonton's Klondike Days festival held annually in July. He was probably quite unaware of the life threatening event that was about to occur.

Also attending that pancake breakfast was me, Lauren Slade, newly arrived from England and eagerly anticipating the great Canadian outdoor experience. The event was being held in a car park on top of a mall in South Edmonton. I joined a long line up to collect my coffee...

Great ideas to make money doing what you love

Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version 

Who says you can't make money doing what you love? These creative ideas will help you start that part-time business you've always dreamed of.

If you lie awake at night racking your brain for a fall-back plan or second-income generator, find a movement, trend or something that works in a big way, and then drum up a way to tweak it for a specialized audience. The key to turning a unique idea, skill or talent into a steady side gig is to pay attention in life--ideas are all around you.

For example, more women are looking for ways to get out of the house. Hosting book club, wine-tasting, jewellery or lingerie parties are just a few fun activities with moneymaking potential.

Here are some more ideas for where to look as you try to find the niche that suits you best:
