As a fan of sports activities, Budi feels very healthy body. However, recent months he often felt pain in his joint. At first, he just thought the pain was caused by sprains, but it was a sense that never healed. After seeing a doctor, he was informed that the affected joint arthristis. Well, if it has been like this happened, Budi had to do therapy, can not in one treatment will cure the disease.
Heterogeneous disease
You think is too young to get arthritis? ehm, wait a minute. One of the most popular misconception about arthritis is that it is a disease of the elderly. In addition, arthritis is also a heterogeneous disease, it can attack all types of people. Arthritis is characterized by pain, stiffness, and sometimes swelling in the joints; can affect people of all sexes and ages, from children to parents.
Although there are over 100 types of arthritis (like gout, fibromyalgia, and lupus), osteoarthritis is the most common. It
is a condition in which there is damage to the cartilage at the tip of
the bone joints, among others, in the hands, hips, knees, and back. Without pads, friction occurs between the bone and eventually result in pain, swelling, and even changes in bone shape. Pain and disability caused by arthritis can hinder your daily activities. In addition, fatigue and stress that accompanies it can make you susceptible to other diseases.
Unfortunately, no treatments have been found to cure arthritis in total. Currently, there are limited treatment aims to relieve pain and discomfort, and prevent the possibility of defects. On the other hand, many people turn to a variety of treatments that are also believed to help you from this problem.
AcupunctureThe
practice of acupuncture has been practiced for over 2,500 years and has
been scientifically proven to relieve the pain of arthristis. Hypodermic
needle intended to stimulate acupuncture points along the energy
channels, so as to balance the flow and restore health. Acupressure is a technique similar to acupuncture but uses finger pressure instead of needles. By pressing a few points on the body, lactic acid buildup can be avoided, which then helps reduce the pain.
Massage TherapyMassage is an ancient form of pain relief, since more than 3000 years. The massage techniques can help you to relax and let blood flow through your body naturally so as to reduce pain. Reflexology
is another type of massage is based on the knowledge that the nervous
system of the body organs affected by the nerves in your feet. When pressure is applied to certain areas of the foot, other areas of the body will feel relaxed.
Flotation therapyFlotation is sometimes used to treat arthritis pain. This method requires the patient to float in a pool filled with Epsom salts. Epsom salt has been known by some as a pain reliever. How it work is by stimulating the production of endorphins.
Therapeutic Heating and CoolingHeating treatment method can be a warm bath, using heating on the pain area or using a heating pad. This method is one of the oldest treatments for arthritis. This therapy sends excitation heat to the joints. In addition to heating, there is also a method to compress the joints with cold water. Sensation obtained from both methods were intended to ease the pain. However, keep in mind that do not use a cold compress for more than 20 minutes due to excessive cold can damage the skin.
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)TENS uses electrical stimulation of nerves to block pain signals to the brain. Electrodes are placed on the skin and with a low level, an electric current produces vibration sensation and feeling a bit numb.
DietAdjusting your diet can often help with the symptoms of arthritis. Reduce consumption of animal products, except fish, and increasing fruits, vegetables and grains are very helpful. Meat, especially organ meats, should be avoided because it triggers the buildup of lactic acid in the joints. Types
of food from the potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and
eggplants are very likely aggravate the symptoms of arthritis, so you
should avoid it.
Glucosamine + HD DT: Supplements for Arthritis SufferersGlucosamine sulfate is highly recommended as a nutritional supplement arthristis patients. Glucosamine

plays a major role in the creation and maintenance of cartilage.

connective tissue, make sure your body with optimal levels of essential
nutrients that will help to do its job. Several studies have shown that fish oil supplements reduce joint pain, swelling and stiffness. Supplementation with vitamins and minerals also help to manage arthritis. Vitamin

Who is Concerned About Health?
Been 3 months and almost 4 months I breathe Rote Ndao District, East Nusa Tenggara Province. Teaching elementary school is my goal coming into the southern districts of Indonesia. A lot of experience I have gained, not only to the extent of education, children or teaching and learning activities. Yes, one of which I have experience about health here. I have its own story about the health of the population of East Rote Rote particular district.
Starting with RI Anniversary celebration was held. 17an celebration in East Rote place very lively. Almost all villages took part in this celebration, both as participants in the race, organizers or spectators. The celebration centered on Pepela 17an, a village with a Muslim majority population. Various competitions are held, such as tug of war, climbing nut, a traditional dance Rote, Jai (a type of poco-poco), long-distance running, hiking, climbing nut, football etc.. The competition followed by all people: elementary school children, junior high school and parents. Yes, of course, my students follow the competitions. Playing on a very solid even we (me, the teachers, students and parents) must be willing to stay at an elementary school near the center of the race. Schedule a solid race and the only participant that's it (understand, we just take a little disciple because these strategies can reduce spending, especially to eat) make children tired. It is also felt by students from other schools. And ... the victim was falling, .... High fever, malaria, sore eyes, cough, food poisoning, collapsed during the race, it all happened during the race week. This condition is exacerbated by the absence of medical teams from health centers.
I go to Rote and comes with a blue bag containing drugs standards are the foundation. With the bag, I try to help people who are sick during the event 17an. Initially I asked, what they feel, then I see the symptoms. With my habit of taking drugs at home, I have applied to them. High heat, I give paracetamol, cough cough medicine that I give them but I forget the brand and give me an ulcer drug when they say it feels pain in the gut. Handling like this I think is not quite right, but thanks to God almost all of them successfully. I gave up when I think there are junior high school boy who seemed affected by malaria. Yes, I became a nurse in imitation Rote. :-)
On day three races were held, one of the disciples, Saldy name, hit a kick in the head when he played ball. Blood was flowing from his head. Incidentally at the time I'm home to change clothes. When I returned to the place to stay, a gentlemen holding a cotton swab on the head Saldy. Once I know that Saldy suffered head injuries from the story that a lot, it took Mr. Coffee. I started the confusion, in the heart ... "you know, there are sick children that he even makes coffee ....". And it turns out the coffee will be used to treat head injuries Saldy. "People here usually if there are injuries, use of coffee just mom ...", said Mr it.
One of the interesting race, race. Every elementary and junior high school send a representative two sons and two daughters to follow the race. The competition was held at 3 pm, the sun still comes up and is very hot, can imagine how hot it is. Race among junior high school students is the opening match. Approximately 2000 meters distance to go. Yet half of the specified range, there are runners who collapsed and again there was no medical team. As a result, the committee should oversee the participant that does not pick fraud, had to intervene. I saw the child, such as difficulty breathing and overheating. And suddenly an old 40's Gentlemen, pour a bottle of water into the boy's body. The child may not get up. I then suggest you should immediately take the boy was taken somewhere more quiet and comfortable, because boy trying to be awakened, but no attempt was transferred from side road. My speech was not followed, even someone say .. "get up too soon, the mother ...". A few seconds later, not far from where I stood, a boy from another school, also collapsed. After the incident, then the first child moved into the room collapsed. I was asked to help revive him. I had come into the room which is certainly more comfortable and quiet. The boy had regained consciousness but could not breath well, so impressed him in pain. When I try to help the child to breathe properly, it appeared that some mothers are busy smearing the child's hands and feet with onions. I started the confusion. To my knowledge these children have difficulty breathing and was not cold, so why should a child wear an onion like colds. I ignore what they do and still leads the child to breathe calmly and simply improved after I left.
A few weeks after the race ended, I was chatting with PTT doctors here. He has served more than 1 year. I told him about the incident giving pembaluran coffee and onion. He just chuckled and he said ... "That's not the worst, even the use of oil and brake fluid to treat injuries from a fall". Indeed, the strange handling. Then I asked some villagers' whether no counseling from physicians and clinics about first aid accidents in the home environment? " and most of the answers, "No son" (no). ok, I immediately thought that the village where I teach is about 17 km from the clinic. Far enough to seek treatment. Moreover, the absence of the condition is exacerbated transportation to health centers. So now who's health care?

About the most effective natural treatment of irritable bowel syndrome
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a chronic gastrointestinal disease that can be characterized by recurrent abdominal pains, changes in bowel habits and bowel movements, intermittent diarrhea, or, on the contrary, constipation. It also leads to such symptoms as cramping, flatulence, bloating, vomiting, etc.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome is very annoying and causes tremendous health damage. IBS can result in weight imbalance, obesity, or malnutrition. Irritable Bowel Syndrome spoils the beauty of your skin and hair and increases the amount of toxic substance in the organism. Moreover, Irritable Bowel Syndrome is often accompanied by such medical conditions (comorbidities), which can occur with different extent of frequency and intensity in IBS patients. They include: headaches, fibromyalgia, depression, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, endometriosis, etc.
IBS most commonly affects people between the ages of twenty and thirty. Women suffer from IBS as twice as often then men. There are different patterns of IBS, which include diarrhea-predominant (IBS-D), constipation-predominant (IBS-C), IBS with alternating stool pattern (IBS-A). There’s also the so called post-infectious IBS (IBS-PI).
Irritable Bowel Syndrome is the result of the abnormal function of the muscles of the organs of the gastrointestinal tract or the nerves controlling the organs. The nerves that control the organs include not only the nerves that lie within the muscles of the organs but also the nerves of the spinal cord and brain. Thus, the abnormal function or disfunction of the nervous system in case of Irritable Bowel Syndrome may occur in a gastrointestinal muscular organ, the spinal cord, or the brain. That’s why IBS is often referred to as a functional disorder, i.e. a disorder when either the muscles of the digestive organs, or the nerves that control them, don’t function properly. As a result, the whole digestive system doesn’t work as it should, because Irritable Bowel Syndrome affects the muscular organs of the gastrointestinal tract, stomach, esophagus, small intestine, colon, and gallbladder. And a man that suffer from this functional disease can by no means be called healthy.
We have developed Bowtrol Natural Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment for you to restore your health and have your digestive system work normally.

Get Healthy With Couples Massage
Have you been looking for a healthy way to spend time with your significant other? Your busy schedules usually keep you from exercising together and with the fast pace of the day there's not always time to plan a healthy meal. So what can you do together that takes you away from the same old places? How about a Couples Massage? A Couples Massage is done by two massage therapists in one room with the couple.
How can Couples Massage help you both stay healthy? Massage therapy helps you improve your health due to the many healthy benefits of massage including: improved circulation, greater flexibility, better sleep, feelings of wellness, stress reduction, and reduced muscular pain.
Now that you know that Couples Massage can help you improve your health, you might want to know what types of massage are available to you during a Couples Massage. There are many styles and techniques used in Couples Massage but there are some that are widely available that you can receive during your session. The best known massage therapy techniques for Couples Massage are:
1. Swedish Massage - this is the most common of massage techniques in the United States and perhaps the world. Swedish massage is known for its long gliding strokes, kneading strokes, friction strokes, and percussion as well as joint movements that feel great while improving range of motion. It's most often thought of as a "spa" type of massage but it's much more than that. Swedish massage is great for reducing stress, improving circulation, improving range of motion of your joints, and helping you actually feel better in your own skin. Swedish massage can range from light pressure to a heavier pressure depending on your comfort level.
2. Deep Tissue Massage - right behind Swedish massage, Deep Tissue Massage is one of the best known and most often requested massage techniques. This massage is used to root out chronic tension in the deeper musculature and connective tissues that contributes to pain and loss of range of motion in joints. While some practitioners use a heavier, sometimes uncomfortable, pressure in Deep Tissue Massage it should be noted that a more moderate pressure can reach deep tissues and achieve great results with little discomfort.
3. Hot Stone Massage - this massage is probably the most relaxing and luxurious massage used in Couples Massage. Heated stones are added to the massage and are used by the massage therapist to perform a mini heat treatment as well as gliding strokes that seem to melt away stress and tension.
4. Sports Massage - just like it sounds, Sports Massage is geared toward athletes at every level from professional to the "weekend warrior" and those who strive for a higher level of fitness. Rather than a specific form of massage, Sports Massage is generally a combination of massage techniques tailored to the athlete's needs. The Sports Massage might be applied to one area to relieve pain or might be more general in nature to assure overall performance. Sports Massage is great for athletic couples.
4. Neuromuscular Therapy - also called "NMT", Neuromuscular Therapy is a well known technique for relieving muscular pain throughout the body even "referred" pain that originates from someplace other than where it's felt. This technique uses very targeted massage techniques, positioning, and stretching to release myofascial trigger points in muscles as well as restrictions in tendons, muscular attachments, and sometimes fascia surrounding the muscle.
All of the massage techniques described here can help a couple receive the health benefits of massage. Of course there are many more massage therapy techniques available during Couples Massage that are relaxing, stress reducing, and that relieve chronic tension and pain. You actually don't have to know what type of massage to ask for, you just need to know what you want to achieve. Do you just want to relax? Reduce muscle soreness? Relieve pain? Improve posture? Ask your massage therapist what they recommend for your particular health needs and get massaged together.
