A fever is the body’s natural way of eliminating bacteria and infections. An elevated temperature is created because the body knows that these types of organisms cannot ‘take the heat’, so to speak. People generally become alarmed, especially when children have a fever. If we examine the idea that the immune system is the body’s natural defense against infection, and if it hasn’t been hindered by overuse of antibiotics in the past, it will do the best job possible at fighting off sickness and disease.

Despite the fact that a fever has a specific purpose and place in healing of the body, sometimes we may wish to bring down a fever, even if only slightly. When a fever gets too high, there are several consequences that may result. If you or your child are experiencing hallucinations or dehydration as a result of high fever, you may want to consult a physician. If you’re more interested in calming the patient and getting to the root of the issues, there are several natural remedies for bringing down a fever and leading to a better chance for rapid healing.

Touch is one of the most important things to include in your natural healing remedies for fever. The body is made up of energy which has a particular and constant flow. When this flow is interrupted by sickness, it’s important to try and get things back in order. Especially for a child, touch will not only help to get energy properly flowing again, but it will also calm and soothe the sick patient. This will permit him or her to feel more comfortable and safe, thus allowing the immune system and other functions of the body to focus on healing, rather than stress and frenzy.

There are many herbs and natural plants or seeds that can help reduce high fever. Drinking herbal teas with thyme, linden flowers and chamomile may be especially helpful natural remedies. You’ll also want to make sure to drink plenty of water and fruit juice. Remember, most of the fruit juice on the shelves at the grocery store is not really juice. When sick with a high fever, you’re looking for 100% natural with no sugars, sodium or high fructose corn syrup. The vitamins and minerals that can be obtained by drinking beet or carrot juice will help significantly. For children who may not agree to tea or beet juice, a tepid bath with added herbs or a cool compress will help soothe and bring down the fever. Many people report that placing an onion or potato around the wrist or the heel helps lower body temperature as well, and engaging in such behavior will likely create some humor that may lighten the mood!

Remember to always keep on loose clothing so that the fever can breathe. Try to avoid solid foods and don’t use alcohol as a rub down or addition to the bathtub, as it can actually do more harm than good, especially for kids. Try not to become frantic over a high fever as that type of energy can lead yourself or your patient to an even more restless state. Remain calm, give a fever a couple days and let it run its course. If fever is associated with a stiff neck, severe hallucinations or rises about 105 degrees for adults, and high fever natural remedies don’t seem to be working, a doctor’s appointment may become necessary.

Balancing of mind, body and spirit has significant benefits in everyday life. This balance can be achieved in a number of ways, and there are several simple changes that can be made immediately to begin feeling the positive impact. Awareness of your current standpoint is vital to the experience and can help give you some idea of how you operate and where to begin to achieve the necessary balance.

What Feelings Are You Choosing?
Our feelings are a choice. It may not feel that way when we are experiencing unfortunate circumstances, but the simple fact is that there are many ways to feel about a given situation. Blessings in disguise, for example, occur everyday in our lives. It seems simpler to blame exterior circumstances for what is happening to us, but when we choose to release negative feelings or find a more positive way to view any experience, it helps to create this balance of mind, body and spirit. Positive feelings weigh less, giving us more energy, vibrance and focus. When these are in place, nice and happy experiences seem to become more frequent.

Who is Making Contributions to Your Life?
What kinds of people are contributing to your current conditions. While it is fully your responsibility to choose appropriate feelings, this is much easier to do when you are surrounded by supportive and uplifting people. Balance of mind, body and spirit can be much more easily achieved when you can laugh and love more easily and without effort. If you are surrounded by people who complain, or if you complain yourself, check this behavior and begin to network with people who make it a habit to be positive. These people may seem annoying to someone who’s used to living a reality of unfortunate circumstances, but the more you realize how much easier this way of life is, the more attractive this lifestyle will become.

Where’s All the Fun?
Do you have any fun? It is vital and essential and mandatory that you find a way to incorporate some fun into your life; on a daily basis! The excuse that there isn’t enough time to do the things you want to do is simply not true. In fact, having fun and releasing stress will give you the benefit of more time in a day. Time is relative anyway, and the addition of events which make you feel joy, laughter, peace, love or freedom will enhance the balance of body, mind and spirit and keep you more focused and efficient for the tasks that you are less emotionally connected to.

Release Stress
Meditation is one of the most effective ways to release stress and find that balance for your entire being. Your physical well-being, emotional sanity and spiritual gwell-being all depend upon a balance. Meditation can be achieved almost anywhere at almost anytime. A ritualistic perspective is not necessary. Whenever you have a few moments, like sitting in traffic, washing dishes or waiting for someone, you can engage in a few moments of meditation. Become acutely aware of each thought as it enters your mind, and then practice ways to let it go, let it pass and let it fly. This practice takes some getting used to, and will become an extremely important and effective tool for releasing stress, remaining calm, feeling joy and recognizing the harmony in all people, circumstances and events around you, whether seemingly good or bad.

Live, laugh and love in peace, joy and harmony.

Foot odor can be embarrassing and difficult to cure. With the expansion of awareness of the potential toxicity and long-term side effects of traditional medications for any disease or infection, including foot odor, natural remedies are becoming popular and mainstream. Foot odor natural remedies are easy and inexpensive to make right at home, or they can be purchased at local health food stores and vitamin shops.

Get Rid of That Smell, the Natural Way!
Long-term use of harsh chemicals can lead to all sorts of toxic situations for the body. The feet are no exception to this rule. This can be avoided by purchasing foot odor natural remedies, or using ingredients found in your cupboards, for mixing one yourself. The use of essential oils with anti-fungal properties, mixed with some sweet-smelling oils can really make a difference in ridding bacteria and fungus which contributes to that horrible smell.

Natural Recipe Using Essential Oils
A great natural recipe for eliminating foot odor is the mixture of certain essential oils with distilled water and other non-toxic substances. Mix 1 cup of distilled water with ¼ of witch hazel. Add about 7 drops of tea tree oil, which contains anti-fungal properties, and an additional 3 to 4 drops of an additional essential oil of your choice. Sage and geranium oil also have anti-fungal properties, while oils like lavender and rose have a wonderful scent. This solution can be sprayed directly on your feet, and inside your shoes as often as you like.

Natural Deodorizers for the Feet
There are many ingredients that can probably be found in your kitchen cabinets which are great at eliminating foot odors. Baking soda not only rids the awful smell, but also helps to cut down on bacteria. Sprinkle some baking soda in your shoes at night, and add a crumpled ball of newspaper to collect moisture. Tea and vinegar washes can also be made into a foot soak for a great and natural acidic foot bath. Bring tea to a boil, or heat vinegar as an alternative, and once it’s cooled, pour it into a deep dish and soak your feet for at least 20 minutes.

Natural Shoe Inserts
There are many shoe inserts on the market made of natural materials and ingredients which help to minimize foot odors. You may want to take a look at the following:

Woodlore Cedar Shoe Fresh Inserts

Positive affirmations may seem like a bunch of words that sound good in theory, but how are they supposed to make a difference when we live in a world filled with negative energy? We turn on the news and it’s bad. We get into traffic and we almost get killed by raging drivers, or we become angry ourselves. We are up in arms over healthcare, government, and religion. We hate our jobs, our marriages are failing and our kids don’t listen. What good can a bunch of words labeled ‘positive affirmations’ do for us?

You’ll be surprised if you decide you have nothing to lose and try out this little exercise.

When a statement of purpose is recorded, in writing, either in a text document or on a notepad, it becomes powerful. Realize that it’s a creation. It’s something that wasn’t there before, but now has existence. It’s matter created from a thought. If you have the ability to read between the lines here, a big lightbulb should be going off.

Even more powerful is the spoken word. Using positive affirmations as a daily mantra will transform your physical and emotional being. Stating words that bring about a general feel-good sensation will lift negative emotions out of the way almost instantaneously. Repeating them daily will begin a change at the cellular level of your body. Continuing this repetition of positive affirmations will create a new habit of bringing about joy into your life by rerouting old message waves in the brain. It’s scientific, my friends… much bigger than mumbo jumbo.

It’s always possible to reach for a feeling that’s better than the one you’re currently experiencing. Positive affirmations can help with this. Even if you feel pretty good, making positive statements can make you feel even better. Wouldn’t you like to feel bliss and joy as much as possible? It can be done. If you’re sick of feeling sad, angry, disappointed, irritated, overwhelmed or lonely, find a great affirmation and practice changing that feeling.

If you’re sensitive to the sensations of your body, you’ll notice the flutter or energy surge when you say something powerful and positive. Look around for some positive affirmations that work well for your life, or write down some of your own. I will include a short list at the end of this post.

Make it a habit to recite your powerful statements at least twice a day. You can choose general positive affirmations for joy and happiness, or pick specific statements that pinpoint a problem you may be having in your life.

If you have a problem with emotional eating, or want to lose weight:
~I am now at peace with my body, and I am feeling healthy.
~I crave only foods which are healthy for my mind, body and spirit.
~Losing weight is easy and effortless.

If you are having problems with relationships:
~I am now creating joy and love in all my relationships.
~I attract healthy and loving relationships.
~I feel compassion and love towards myself and others.

If you are having problems with depression:
~Today is filled with joy, peace and happiness.
~I feel powerful, strong and creative today.
~My life is now magical. I see evidence of joy and light.

These are only a few short examples of millions of positive affirmations that can be incorporated into your days. Once you understand the power of positive thinking, you’ll begin to see results that are magical, and you’ll begin to attract only good feelings.

Peace, joy and light,
Jeannie

We are arriving at a period in our human timeline where we are receiving enormous amounts of information on how to achieve complete and total wellness of our bodies, minds and spirits. Given our old and lifelong habits, this may seem like a daunting task. In the following article, Aimee breaks down a quick summary of how to begin focusing on total wellness giving us examples of how we can improve each facet of our beings.

6 Dimensions of Wellness
by: Aimee Whitfill

When most of us think of wellness, we automatically think of physical health. We try to maintain a healthy body and hope that will ward off serious illness in the future. However, while physical health is crucial to good health, wellness has many dimensions beyond the physical. In fact, many experts believe there are 6 dimensions of wellness.

1. Emotional wellness
Understanding our emotions and finding healthy ways of expressing them is important to emotional health. Learn to accept your limitations and embrace ways to form healthy relationships with others. Maintain a sense of perspective, and learn to control emotions like sadness, anger, or frustration.

2. Spiritual wellness
Having a purpose in life and feeling that life is meaningful leads to spiritual health. Take some quiet time to discover the morals, ethics, and values that guide your decision making, and try to stick with those during problematic times.

3. Social wellness
Maintaining healthy relationships with others leads to a healthier you. Try to learn ways to relate well with others, whether they are family members, coworkers, or friends. Practice communication skills and try to be the kind of friend or spouse you would like to have.

4. Environmental wellness
A healthier planet leads to healthier inhabitants, so not only should you protect yourself from environmental hazards, such as wearing sunscreen or staying indoors on smoggy days, but you should also look for ways to help the earth s health. Recycle or reuse items that you can, and donate used clothing, cell phones, or old computers to non profit organizations that can refurbish them, thereby keeping them out of landfills.

5. Intellectual wellness
You ve probably heard of the phrase use it or lose it. That is particularly true for the brain. As we age, there is a natural progression of a slowing of the brain s functions, but you can combat this by working your brain every day. Keep your mind active with learning, creativity, and problem solving. Read up on current events each day. Paint, draw, or build something with your hands. Take a continuing education course at a local college, or join a book club. Even working a crossword puzzle each day can help to keep the mind active.

6. Physical wellness
Maintain a healthy body through proper nutrition, exercise, and the avoidance of harmful habits, such as smoking or alcohol abuse. Make sure you exercise at least 30 minutes each day. Eat lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats, such as those found in olive oil. Visit your dentist regularly, since dental health can affect the rest of your body. Seek medical attention when necessary.

Since our bodies and minds are interrelated, true wellness depends of integrating all of the above factors for a more holistic approach to good health. Monitoring and trying to improve in these 6 areas can lead to a happier, healthier you, which can ward off illnesses or diseases.

Physical health is probably the easiest to monitor. For a baseline of your body s physical health, consider getting a mobile health screening, which is convenient, painless, and non invasive. You will find information quickly about your risk for heart attack or stroke.

Glycerin free toothpaste is hard to find. Fluoride free toothpaste is not as hard to find. Why would you want toothpaste free of glycerin?

Well, I discovered this awesome article today by a lady named Connie Baum. She’s got the scoop on commercial and readily available toothpastes and what they are really doing to our teeth. Ever wonder why you still got cavities when you brushed 3 times a day and flossed regularly, with toothpaste recommended by the American Dental Association?

Well, read on to discover why you may want to see out fluoride free and glycerin free toothpastes, or Tooth Soap, as it were.

When Soap in Your Mouth is Not Punitive

Author : Connie Baum

Most of us think of soap in the mouth as punishment for bad words   That could be programming from our life experience or threats moms and dads have issued because of their life experiences!

In any case, a doctor of dental surgery by the name of Weston Price wrote a book titled, “Nutrition and Physical Degeneration” which changed the way some of us look at dental care and how we care for our bodies-and lists the consequences of improper care.

Dr  Price points out the harm done by processed foods in cultures known to be previously disease free.  He chronicled the generational changes as white flour and sugar created lack of development of air passages, resulting in mouth breathing; crowding teeth from deformed dental arches.   There was also the matter of increasingly rampant dental decay.   The changes became more and more problematic with each successive generation.

The good doctor studied a pair of identical twins.   One ate the foods native to his culture, filled with whole foods.   His brother ate the processed foods.   As time passed, the twin who ate well looked healthy.   He was robust and displayed perfect teeth.   The twin who ate the junky diet had decayed and missing teeth and the teeth he had were crooked.   This is indicative of how critical whole foods are to the human diet, no matter the geography of the culture.

Raise your hand if you desire ugly, cavity rich teeth!  Raise your other hand if you want to lose all your pearly whites!

Conventional wisdom dictates fluoride would be the logical treatment for ugly, cavity ridden teeth and that alone could solve many problems.   This wisdom is flawed because fluoride, highly toxic, is a nerve poison.   It has no place in dental care.   The naturally occurring fluoride that is contained in water is acceptable because it is not a source of toxicity.

Would you be surprised to learn that the average American, with all our resources, has 13 cavities by the tender age of 17 years?  Would you be shocked to learn that the Native Indian American population, who had dental “care” and fluoridation foisted upon them for more than half a century have the worst teeth of all Americans?  Do you find that shameful?

America’s health care system is in disarray and the state of our teeth indicates just how far reaching this deterioration has become.   Fortunately, another wise soul, Dr  Gerard Judd, developed a plan whereby everyone from tiny to the very elderly can have and maintain good dental health.   His plan includes eating organic whole foods and brushing the teeth with soap.

While at the outset that may not sound like an appealing plan, the products available to accomplish this are astonishingly simple, affordable and effective.

Toothpaste products contain glycerin and fluoride.   The fluoride issue has already been discussed here.   Even so called “natural” toothpastes, gels and rinses contain glycerin.    Glycerin coats the teeth and is the reason re-enamalization of the teeth can not take place.   Teeth are designed to regenerate themselves but that cannot happen if the proper elements are not available.

We have also been led to believe that bacteria causes tooth decay.   Dr  Judd assures us this is not true.  It is acidity that causes tooth decay; tooth decay happens as the result of eating processed foods!

Dr.  Judd recommends bar soap for our teeth for the simple reason that bar soap is the only effective cleaner for teeth.   It removes oils and matter from the teeth very quickly and leaves them perfectly clean.   Toothpastes with large amounts of glycerin require over 20 washes to remove the glycerin so our teeth have a coating of glycerin at all times.   With soap only two rinses remove the grime and suds!

Furthermore, toothpaste can contain sugar, acid, chalk, sand, fluoride, dyes, stabilizers, and other contaminants.   With all that trash coating our teeth, is it any wonder there is no opportunity for the teeth to re-enamelize?  Not only that, but some of the ingredients in toothpaste actually promote canker sores!

Cost can be another factor .  When using toothpaste for a mom, dad and a small handful of kids can cost as much as $20 00 per month if people brush three times a day as recommended.   Simply by using a quality, pleasant tasting product and eating organic whole foods you can lower dental costs and misery while re-enamalizing and re-mineralizing the teeth of every family member.

It might be worth your while to look further into soap products for your family’s quality dental care!  The good results may even astound your dental professionals!

Connie Baum retired from a lucrative and satisfying career as a massage therapist; then she fell in love with the internet.  Her passion for people, food, health and healing is revealed on her websites: http://thehealthyandwealthyyou.com/blog and others.   She dearly hopes her visitors will leave comments on the blogs when they visit.

Cedar oil, or cedarwood oil is one of the many essential oils that have multiple benefits of use.  One of its most common uses is that of an insect repellent, but many other benefits can be had using this fragrant oil. Cedar oil is derived from distilling sawdust and wood chips from the juniper tree and has had many important uses throughout history, one of which was the use of cedar oil in ancient Egypt for embalming purposes.

Cedar Oil As Insect Repellent
Cedar oil makes an effective insect repellent due to its insecticide properties. Pure oil can lose potency in just 1 to 2 hours so to get the most benefit, try mixing this oil with other essential oils like citronella or lemongrass, or purchase a commercial spray with cedar oil as the base. A great choice for commercial insect repellent using cedar oil is 32 Ounce Texas Cedarwood Oil.

Cedar Oil as an Anti Seborrhoeic
Seborrhoea in one form, is a type of eczema. Cedar oil is very helpful at clearing up inflammation caused by this condition and helps to reduce infection. If you have been diagnosed with this condition, use of cedar oil may be a less expensive and more beneficial remedy.

Cedar Oil as an Antiseptic
Cedar oil is often used as an ingredient in herbal antiseptic creams due to its cleansing properties. This oil can protect wounds from infection and prevent from additional germs, like tetanus.

Cedar Oil as an Anti Spasmodic
If you suffer from leg spasms, or other types of spasm such as those of the nerves, heart or intestines, cedar oil is very effective at relief. Apply externally.

Cedar Oil as an Astringent
Astringents help to shrink and constrict body tissues. Use cedar oil as a remedy for ailing teeth and gums, and to firm up skin and loosened muscles. You may also try this remedy for relieving diarrhea.

Cedar Oil as a Tonic and Diuretic
Use cedar oil to stimulate metabolism, tone up muscles, stimulate brain function, and increase removal of unhealthy fat. Use of this oil can give relief to problems such as obesity, urinary tract infections, arthritis, and high blood pressure. Cedar oil helps to remove excess water and toxins like uric acid.

Other Uses of Cedar Oil
If you haven’t found enough uses for cedar oil, consider the following:

• relief from irregular and painful menstruation
• soothing, sedation and calming of mind
• relief from insomnia
• itch relief
• relief for fungal infections
• relief for cystitis
• clearing dandruff
• oily skin treatment
• clearing acne
• relief for arthritis

Caution When Using Cedar Oil
While this product includes all natural properties, pregnant women should avoid its use. When applying concentrated amounts of cedar oil to the skin, irritation could occur. Be careful with sensitive skin.

Desert Essence tea tree products range from pure essential oils all the way to tea tree dental floss, moisturizers and shampoo.  Tea tree oil has been shown to be an amazing essential oil with the ability to naturally treat many conditions like dandruff, acne, yeast growth, Athlete’s foot, periodontal disease, boils, eczema, etc. Also called melaleuca oil, tea tree oil is a powerful antiseptic and antifungal agent, and Desert Essence tea tree products take advantage of this fact to offer you a great and natural healing product line.

Desert Essence Tea Tree Pure Essential Oil
Desert Essence pure tea tree essential oil comes from Australia. Pure tea tree oil is best known for its antiseptic qualities to help prevent infection. This product is not recommended for full strength on the face, as with the treatment of acne. Desert Essence does, however, offer tea tree oil facial cleansing pads, Thoroughly Clean Face Wash with tea tree oil, and many other tea tree oil products for cleansing the facial skin.

Desert Essence Tea Tree Toothpaste
Tea tree oil is well-known for improving the health of gums and decreasing the effects of gingivitis. Desert Essence tea tree toothpastes can offer you welcome relief when experiencing pain or bleeding from infected gums. Ongoing use can greatly improve the health of your gums and reduce risk of periodontal disease.

It’s Been Called “Medicine Chest In a Bottle”
Tea tree oil has so many great uses that are effective, can save you loads of money, and keep you from experiencing pain and symptoms associated with certain conditions. Use Desert Essence tea tree oil, or appropriate products containing tea tree oil, for the following conditions:

• Insect bites
• Boils
• Ringworm
• Athlete’s foot
• Dandruff
• Ear mites, fleas or lice in dogs and cats
• Ear Infection
• Cold Sores
• Acne

Always be sure to research, as some remedies require pure tea tree essential oil, while some conditions are better treated with commercial tea tree products, like those offered by Desert Essence. Note that tea tree is not a cure for any disease, but it does offer significant relief for many conditions. Increasing awareness of natural remedies, like that of tea tree oil, are making significant changes to our overall well-being.

Enjoy your Desert Essence tea tree oil and please leave comments as to your results with the product.

Birth totems however, are not based upon characteristics such as planetary alignment at time of birth, like traditional astrology.
