I found Ryln's tip as the best among all the ones that were given because she got everything covered. Also, it should be noted that she specifically wrote \"tepid towel sponge bath\" for a child with fever. Tepid water is somewhere in between lukewarm and room temperature and I believe that this is the most comfortable temperature that a feverish child can handle. It is comforting and relaxing at the same time.\nI prepared a list of all the contestants with their raffle points and their comments for your reference.

Your little one’s forehead feels warm. You immediately suspect a fever, but are unsure of what to do next. Should you get out the thermometer? Call the doctor?\nHow do take your child’s temperature?\nIn healthy kids, fevers usually don’t indicate anything serious. Although it can be frightening when your child’s temperature rises, fever itself causes no harm and can actually be a good thing — it’s often the body’s way of fighting infections. And not all fevers need to be treated. High fever, however, can make a child uncomfortable and worsen problems such as dehydration.\nHere’s more about fevers, how to measure and treat them, and when to call your doctor.\nFever Facts\nFever happens when the body’s internal “thermostat” raises the body temperature above its normal level. This thermostat is found in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus knows what temperature your body should be (usually around 98.6ºF/37ºC) and will send messages to your body to keep it that way.\nMost people’s body temperatures even change a little bit during the course of the day: It’s usually a little lower in the morning and a little higher in the evening and can vary as kids run around, play, and exercise.\nSometimes, though, the hypothalamus will “reset” the body to a higher temperature in response to an infection, illness, or some other cause. Why? Researchers believe turning up the heat is the body’s way of fighting the germs that cause infections and making the body a less comfortable place for them.\nView Survey\nCauses of Fever\nIt’s important to remember that fever by itself is not an illness — it’s usually a symptom of an underlying problem.\nFevers have a few potential causes:\nInfection: Most fevers are caused by infection or other illness. A fever helps the body fight infections by stimulating natural defense mechanisms.\nOverdressing: Infants, especially newborns, may get fevers if they’re overbundled or in a hot environment because they don’t regulate their body temperature as well as older kids. However, because fevers in newborns can indicate a serious infection, even infants who are overdressed must be checked by a doctor if they have a fever.\nImmunizations: Babies and kids sometimes get a low-grade fever after getting vaccinated.\nAlthough teething may cause a slight rise in body temperature, it’s probably not the cause if a child’s temperature is higher than 100ºF (37.8ºC).\nWhen Fever Is a Sign of Something Serious\nIn the past, doctors advised treating a fever on the basis of temperature alone. But now they recommend considering both the temperature and a child’s overall condition.\nKids whose temperatures are lower than 102ºF (38.9ºC) often don’t need medication unless they’re uncomfortable. There’s one important exception to this rule: If you have an infant 3 months or younger with a rectal temperature of 100.4ºF (38ºC) or higher, call your doctor or go to the emergency department immediately. Even a slight fever can be a sign of a potentially serious infection in very young infants.\nIf your child is between 3 months and 3 years old and has a fever of 102.2ºF (39ºC) or higher, call your doctor to see if he or she needs to see your child. For older kids, take behavior and activity level into account. Watching how your child behaves will give you a pretty good idea of whether a minor illness is the cause or if your child should be seen by a doctor.\nThe illness is probably not serious if your child:\nis still interested in playing\nis eating and drinking well\nis alert and smiling at you\nhas a normal skin color\nlooks well when his or her temperature comes down\nAnd don’t worry too much about a child with a fever who doesn’t want to eat. This is very common with infections that cause fever. For kids who still drink and urinate (pee) normally, not eating as much as usual is OK.\nIs it a Fever?\nA gentle kiss on the forehead or a hand placed lightly on the skin is often enough to give you a hint that your child has a fever. However, this method of taking a temperature (called tactile temperature) doesn’t give an accurate measurement.\nUse a reliable thermometer to confirm a fever, which is when a child’s temperature is at or above one of these levels:\nmeasured orally (in the mouth): 99.5ºF (37.5ºC)\nmeasured rectally (in the bottom): 100.4ºF (38ºC)\nmeasured in an axillary position (under the arm): 99ºF (37.2ºC)\nBut how high a fever is doesn’t tell you much about how sick your child is. A simple cold or other viral infection can sometimes cause a rather high fever (in the 102º-104ºF/38.9º-40ºC range), but this doesn’t usually indicate a serious problem. And serious infections might cause no fever or even an abnormally low body temperature, especially in infants.\nBecause fevers can rise and fall, a child might have chills as the body’s temperature begins to rise. The child may sweat as the body releases extra heat as the temperature starts to drop.\nSometimes kids with a fever breathe faster than usual and may have a faster heart rate. You should call the doctor if your child is having trouble breathing, is breathing faster than normal, or continues to breathe fast after the fever comes down.\nTypes of Thermometers\nWhatever thermometer you choose, be sure you know how to use it correctly to get an accurate reading. Keep and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for any thermometer.\nDigital thermometers usually provide the quickest, most accurate readings. They come in many sizes and shapes and are available at most supermarkets and drugstores in a range of prices. Read the manufacturer’s instructions to see what the thermometer is designed for and how it signals that the reading is complete.\nUsually, digital thermometers can be used for these temperature-taking methods:\noral (in the mouth)\nrectal (in the bottom)\naxillary (under the arm)\nTurn on the thermometer and make sure the screen is clear of any old readings. Digital thermometers usually have a plastic, flexible probe with a temperature sensor at the tip and an easy-to-read digital display on the other end. If your thermometer uses disposable plastic sleeves or covers, put one on according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Throw away the sleeve afterward and clean the thermometer according to the manufacturer’s instructions before putting it back in its case.\nElectronic ear thermometers measure the tympanic temperature (the temperature inside the ear canal). Although they’re quick and easy to use in older babies and kids, they aren’t as accurate as digital thermometers for infants 3 months or younger and are more expensive.\nPlastic strip thermometers (small plastic strips that you press against the forehead) might tell you whether your child has a fever, but they don’t give an exact measurement, especially in infants and very young children. If you need to know your child’s exact temperature, plastic strip thermometers are not the way to go.\nForehead thermometers also can tell you if your child has a fever, but are not as accurate as oral or rectal digital thermometers.\nPacifier thermometers can be convenient, but their readings are less reliable than rectal temperatures and shouldn’t be used in infants younger than 3 months. Kids also need to keep the pacifier in their mouth for several minutes without moving, which is a nearly impossible task for most babies and toddlers.\nGlass mercury thermometers were once common, but should not be used because of possible exposure to mercury, an environmental toxin. (If you still have a mercury thermometer, do not simply throw it in the trash where the mercury can leak out. Talk to your doctor or your local health department about how and where to dispose of a mercury thermometer.)\nTips for Taking Temperatures\nAs any parent knows, taking a squirming child’s temperature can be a challenge. But it’s one of the most important tools doctors have to determine if a child has an illness or infection. The best method will depend on a child’s age and temperament.\nFor kids younger than 3 months, you’ll get the most reliable reading by using a digital thermometer to take a rectal temperature. Electronic ear thermometers aren’t recommended for infants younger than 3 months because their ear canals are usually too small.\nFor kids between 3 months to 4 years old, you can use a digital thermometer to take a rectal temperature or an electronic ear thermometer to take the temperature inside the ear canal. You could also use a digital thermometer to take an axillary temperature, although this is a less accurate method.\nFor kids 4 years or older, you can usually use a digital thermometer to take an oral temperature if your child will cooperate. However, kids who have frequent coughs or are breathing through their mouths because of stuffy noses might not be able to keep their mouths closed long enough for an accurate oral reading. In these cases, you can use the tympanic method (with an electronic ear thermometer) or axillary method (with a digital thermometer).\nTo take a rectal temperature: Before becoming parents, most people cringe at the thought of taking a rectal temperature. But don’t worry — it’s a simple process:\nLubricate the tip of the thermometer with a lubricant, such as petroleum jelly.\nPlace your child:\n– belly-down across your lap or on a firm, flat surface and keep your palm along the lower back\n– or face-up with legs bent toward the chest with your hand against the back of the thighs\nWith your other hand, insert the lubricated thermometer into the anal opening about ½ inch to 1 inch (about 1.25 to 2.5 centimeters), or until the tip of the thermometer is fully in the rectum. Stop if you feel any resistance.\nSteady the thermometer between your second and third fingers as you cup your hand against your baby’s bottom. Soothe your child and speak quietly as you hold the thermometer in place.\nWait until you hear the appropriate number of beeps or other signal that the temperature is ready to be read. Write down the number on the screen, noting the time of day that you took the reading.\nTo take an oral temperature: This process is easy in an older, cooperative child.\nWait 20 to 30 minutes after your child finishes eating or drinking to take an oral temperature, and make sure there’s no gum or candy in your child’s mouth.\nPlace the tip of the thermometer under the tongue and ask your child to close his or her lips around it. Remind your child not to bite down or talk, and to relax and breathe normally through the nose.\nWait until you hear the appropriate number of beeps or other signal that the temperature is ready to be read. Write down the number on the screen, noting the time of day that you took the reading.\nTo take an axillary temperature: This is a convenient way to take a child’s temperature. Although not as accurate as a rectal or oral temperature in a cooperative child, some parents prefer to take an axillary temperature, especially for kids who can’t hold a thermometer in their mouths.\nRemove your child’s shirt and undershirt, and place the thermometer under an armpit (it must be touching skin only, not clothing).\nFold your child’s arm across the chest to hold the thermometer in place.\nWait until you hear the appropriate number of beeps or other signal that the temperature is ready to be read. Write down the number on the screen, noting the time of day that you took the reading.\nWhatever method you choose, keep these additional tips in mind:\nNever take a child’s temperature right after a bath or if he or she has been bundled tightly for a while — this can affect the temperature reading.\nNever leave a child unattended while taking a temperature.\nHelping Kids Feel Better\nAgain, not all fevers need to be treated. And in most cases, a fever should be treated only if it’s causing a child discomfort.\nHere are ways to ease symptoms that often accompany a fever:\nIf your child is fussy or uncomfortable, you can give acetaminophen or ibuprofen based on the package recommendations for age or weight. (Unless instructed by a doctor, never give aspirin to a child due to its association with Reye syndrome, a rare but potentially fatal disease.) If you don’t know the recommended dose or your child is younger than 2 years old, call the doctor to find out how much to give.\nInfants younger than 2 months old should not be given any medicine for fever without being evaluated by a doctor. If your child has any medical problems, check with the doctor to see which medicine is best to use. Remember that fever medication will usually temporarily bring a temperature down, but won’t return it to normal — and it won’t treat the underlying reason for the fever.\nDress your child in lightweight clothing and cover with a light sheet or blanket. Overdressing and overbundling can prevent body heat from escaping and can cause a temperature to rise.\nMake sure your child’s bedroom is a comfortable temperature — not too hot or too cold.\nWhile some parents use lukewarm sponge baths to lower fever, there is no medical evidence to support this method. In fact, sponge baths can make kids uncomfortable. Never use alcohol (it can cause poisoning when absorbed through the skin) or ice packs/cold baths (they can cause chills that may raise body temperature).\nOffer plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration since fevers cause kids to lose fluids more rapidly than usual. Water, soup, ice pops, and flavored gelatin are all good choices. Avoid drinks with caffeine, including colas and tea, because they can make dehydration worse by increasing urination.\nIf your child also is vomiting and/or has diarrhea, ask the doctor if you should give an electrolyte (rehydration) solution made especially for kids. You can find these at drugstores and supermarkets. Don’t offer sports drinks — they’re not made for younger children and the added sugars can make diarrhea worse. Also, limit your child’s intake of fruits and apple juice.\nIn general, let your child eat what he or
he wants (in reasonable amounts) but don’t force eating if your child doesn’t feel like it.\nMake sure your child gets plenty of rest. Staying in bed all day isn’t necessary, but a sick child should take it easy.\nIt’s best to keep a child with a fever home from school or childcare. Most doctors feel that it’s safe to return when the temperature has been normal for 24 hours.\nWhen to Call the Doctor\nThe exact temperature that should trigger a call to the doctor depends on the age of the child, the illness, and whether there are other symptoms with the fever.\nCall your doctor if you have an:\ninfant younger than 3 months old with a rectal temperature of 100.4ºF (38ºC) or higher\nolder child with a temperature of higher than 102.2ºF (39ºC)\nCall the doctor if an older child has a fever of less than 102.2ºF (39ºC) but also:\nrefuses fluids or seems too ill to drink adequately\nhas persistent diarrhea or repeated vomiting\nhas any signs of dehydration (peeing less than usual, not having tears when crying, less alert and less active than usual)\nhas a specific complaint (like a sore throat or earache)\nstill has a fever after 24 hours (in kids younger than 2 years) or 72 hours (in kids 2 years or older)\nhas recurrent fevers, even if they only last a few hours each night\nhas a chronic medical problem such as heart disease, cancer, lupus, or sickle cell anemia\nhas a rash\nhas pain while urinating\nSeek emergency care if your child shows any of these signs:\ninconsolable crying\nextreme irritability\nlethargy and difficulty waking\nrash or purple spots that look like bruises on the skin (that were not there before the child got sick)\nblue lips, tongue, or nails\ninfant’s soft spot on the head seems to be bulging outward or sunken inwards\nstiff neck\nsevere headache\nlimpness or refusal to move\ndifficulty breathing that doesn’t get better when the nose is cleared\nleaning forward and drooling\nseizure\nabdominal pain\nAlso, ask your doctor for his or her specific guidelines on when to call about a fever.\nFever: A Common Part of Childhood\nAll kids get fevers, and in most cases they’re completely back to normal within a few days. For older infants and kids (but not necessarily for infants younger than 3 months), the way they act is more important than the reading on your thermometer. Everyone gets cranky when they have a fever. This is normal and should be expected.\nBut if you’re ever in doubt about what to do or what a fever might mean, or if your child is acting ill in a way that concerns you even if there’s no fever, always call your doctor for advice.\nReviewed by: Yamini Durani, MD\nDate reviewed: January 2013\nNote: All information on KidsHealth is for educational purposes only.

It does not necessarily mean that yogurt has no beneficial effect on men's blood pressure.\nThe team then looked at the women's data again and focused on diet. They assigned a score to each participant, depending on how closely her diet matched one designed to lower blood pressure, called Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH).\nYogurt's strongest effect is as part of healthy diet\nThe DASH diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products, whole grains, fish, poultry, beans, seeds and nuts.\nThe results showed that women whose diets most closely matched DASH and who ate five or more servings of yogurt a week had a 31% lower risk of developing high blood pressure. This was compared with women with the lowest DASH scores and who had the lowest yogurt intakes (one serving or less per week).\nThe team also looked at the links between other dairy foods and high blood pressure. They found a positive link between daily servings of milk and cheese and lower risk of high blood pressure, but according to Buendia, this was not as strong as the effect of yogurt.\nThe researchers suggest the beneficial effect of yogurt on lowering risk of high blood pressure, especially when consumed as part of a healthy diet, could be by lowering body mass index (BMI - a measure of obesity); the links were weaker when they adjusted for BMI.\nThis reinforces the idea that you are unlikely to reduce your risk of high blood pressure just by adding yogurt to your diet. It is when yogurt is part of a diet plan designed to reduce high blood pressure, which also has a positive effect on helping you reach a healthy weight, that it appears to have the most benefit. As Buendia concludes:\n\"No one food is a magic bullet but adding yogurt to an otherwise healthy diet seems to help reduce the long-term risk of high blood pressure in women.\"\nMeanwhile, from another study presented at the same meeting, Medical News Today learned that cutting the price of fruits, vegetables and grains by 10%, and marking up sugary drink prices by the same amount, could prevent more than half a million Americans dying prematurely of cardiovascular disease between now and 2035.\nRelated coverage\nSudden drops in blood pressure may increase risk of dementia A new study finds a link between experiencing rapid drops in blood pressure in middle age and the risk of dementia 20 years later.

FDA Grants Priority Review for Dupixent® (dupilumab) as Potential Treatment for Adolescents with Uncontrolled Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis | BioSpace\nSkip to main content\nSkip to main menu\nSkip to user menu\nJob Seeker Sign in\nCreate account\nFor Employers\nHome\nNews\nJobs\nJob alerts\nCareer Resources\nHotbeds\nCareer events\nCompany Profiles\nBiotech Bay\nBiotech Beach\nBioCapital\nBioMidwest\nBioIndiana\nBio NC\nBioForest\nGenetown\nIdeal Employer\nPharm Country\nNextGen Bio\nFilter News\nAll (549,482)\nTopic (526,836)\nIndustry (46,581)\nHotbed/Location (510,918)\nCareer Advice (3,234)\nFDA Grants Priority Review for Dupixent® (dupilumab) as Potential Treatment for Adolescents with Uncontrolled Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis\nPublished: Nov 06, 2018\nTARRYTOWN, N.Y. and PARIS, Nov. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) and Sanofi today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted for Priority Review the supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for Dupixent® (dupilumab) in adolescent patients 12 to 17 years of age with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, whose disease was inadequately controlled with topical therapies or for whom topical treatment was medically inadvisable. Currently, there are no FDA-approved systemic biologic medicines to treat adolescents with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. The target action date for the FDA decision is March 11, 2019.\nThe sBLA is supported by data from a pivotal Phase 3 trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of Dupixent monotherapy in adolescent patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, which were presented at the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology in September 2018.\nDupixent works by inhibiting interleukin-4 and interleukin-13 (IL-4 and IL-13) signaling, which is one of the important contributors to Type 2 inflammation, a systemic response known to play a role in moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis.\nDupixent is currently approved in the U.S. as a treatment for adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis whose disease is not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies or when those therapies are not advisable; and as add-on maintenance treatment for patients 12 years and older with moderate-to-severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype or with oral corticosteroid-dependent asthma. In 2016, the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy designation for Dupixent for the treatment of moderate-to-severe (adolescents 12 to 17 years of age) and severe (children 6 months to 11 years of age) atopic dermatitis not well controlled on topical prescription medications.\nDupixent is also approved for use in certain adult patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in countries of the European Union, and other countries including Canada and Japan. In the U.S., more than 60,000 adult patients with atopic dermatitis have been prescribed Dupixent to date.\nThe safety and efficacy of Dupixent in adolescents with atopic dermatitis have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority.\nDupilumab Development Program\nRegeneron and Sanofi are also studying dupilumab in a broad range of clinical development programs for diseases driven by allergic and other Type 2 inflammation, including pediatric (6 months to 11 years of age) atopic dermatitis (Phase 3), pediatric asthma (Phase 3), chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (Phase 3), eosinophilic esophagitis (Phase 2/3), grass allergy (Phase 2) and peanut allergy (Phase 2). A future trial is planned for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Dupixent is also being studied in combination with REGN-3500, which targets IL-33. These potential uses are investigational and the safety and efficacy have not been evaluated by any regulatory authority. Dupilumab was discovered using Regeneron's proprietary VelocImmune® technology that yields optimized fully human antibodies, and is being jointly developed by Regeneron and Sanofi under a global collaboration agreement.\nIMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION AND INDICATIONS\nDo not use if you are allergic to dupilumab or to any of the ingredients in DUPIXENT®.\nBefore using DUPIXENT, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you:\nhave eye problems (if you also have atopic dermatitis)\nhave a parasitic (helminth) infection\nare taking oral, topical, or inhaled corticosteroid medicines. Do not stop taking your corticosteroid medicines unless instructed by your healthcare provider. This may cause other symptoms that were controlled by the corticosteroid medicine to come back.\nare scheduled to receive any vaccinations. You should not receive a \"live vaccine\" if you are treated with DUPIXENT.\nare pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known whether DUPIXENT will harm your unborn baby.\nare breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known whether DUPIXENT passes into your breast milk.\nTell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements. If you are taking asthma medicines, do not change or stop your asthma medicine without talking to your healthcare provider.\nDUPIXENT can cause serious side effects, including:\nAllergic reactions (hypersensitivity), including a severe reaction known as anaphylaxis. Stop using DUPIXENT and tell your healthcare provider or get emergency help right away if you get any of the following symptoms: breathing problems, fever, general ill feeling, swollen lymph nodes, swelling of the face, mouth and tongue, hives, itching, fainting, dizziness, feeling lightheaded (low blood pressure), joint pain, or skin rash.\nEye problems. If you have atopic dermatitis, tell your healthcare provider if you have any new or worsening eye problems, including eye pain or changes in vision.\nInflammation in your blood vessels: Rarely, this can happen in people with asthma who receive DUPIXENT. This may happen in people who also take a steroid medicine by mouth that is being stopped or the dose is being lowered. It is not known whether this is caused by DUPIXENT. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have: rash, shortness of breath, persistent fever, chest pain, or a feeling of pins and needles or numbness of your arms or legs.\nThe most common side effects include injection site reactions, pain in the throat (oropharyngeal pain) and cold sores in your mouth or on your lips. Eye and eyelid inflammation, including redness, swelling and itching have been seen in patients who have atopic dermatitis.\nTell your healthcare provider if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away. These are not all the possible side effects of DUPIXENT. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.\nUse DUPIXENT exactly as prescribed. If your healthcare provider decides that you or a caregiver can give DUPIXENT injections, you or your caregiver should receive training on the right way to prepare and inject DUPIXENT. Do not try to inject DUPIXENT until you have been shown the right way by your healthcare provider. In adolescents with asthma 12 years of age and older, it is recommended that DUPIXENT be administered by or under supervision of an adult.\nPlease see accompanying full Prescribing Information including Patient Information.\nINDICATIONS\nDUPIXENT is a prescription medicine used:\nto treat adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin (topical), or who cannot use topical therapies. DUPIXENT can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. It is not known if DUPIXENT is safe and effective in children with atopic dermatitis under 18 years of age.\nwith other asthma medicines for the maintenance treatment of moderate-to-severe asthma in people aged 12 years and older whose asthma is not controlled with their current asthma medicines. DUPIXENT helps prevent severe asthma attacks (exacerbations) and can improve your breathing. DUPIXENT may also help reduce the amount of oral corticosteroids you need while preventing severe asthma attacks and improving your breathing. DUPIXENT is not used to treat sudden breathing problems. It is not known if DUPIXENT is safe and effective in children with asthma under 12 years of age.\nAbout Regeneron\nRegeneron (NASDAQ: REGN) is a leading biotechnology company that invents life-transforming medicines for people with serious diseases.

A healthy baby begins with a healthy mom, so start as soon as possible to prepare your body and mind for motherhood. According to research or other evidence, the following self-care steps may be helpful.\nPrenatal supplement\nStarting before you become pregnant, if possible, take a multivitamin supplement high in folic acid, iron, and calcium to prevent complications due to vitamin or mineral deficiencies\nEat well\nA well-balanced and varied diet that includes fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and fish will provide the nutrients you and your baby need\nAvoid harmful habits\nGive up alcohol, caffeine, smoking, and recreational drugs to reduce the risk of birth defects and pregnancy complications\nGain the right amount of weight\nFollow the advice of your healthcare provider to prevent problems associated with inadequate or excessive weight gain\nAbout\nAbout This Condition\nPregnancy, the period during which a woman's fertilized egg (embryo) gestates and becomes a fetus, lasts an average of 40 weeks from the date of the last menstrual period to delivery of the infant.\nIn the first trimester (13 weeks), many pregnant women experience nausea. Usually these women report that they feel best during the second trimester. During the third (final) trimester, the increasing size of the fetus begins to place mechanical strains on the expectant mother, often causing back pain, leg swelling, and other health problems.\nHealthy Lifestyle Tips\nA woman can reduce her risk of complications during pregnancy and delivery by avoiding harmful substances, such as alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, recreational drugs, and some prescription or over-the-counter drugs.\nEven minimal alcohol consumption during pregnancy can increase the risk of hyperactivity, short attention span, and emotional problems in the child.1 Pregnant women should, therefore, avoid alcohol completely.\nCigarette smoking during pregnancy causes lower birth weights and smaller-sized newborns. The rate of miscarriage in smokers is twice as high as that in nonsmokers,2 and babies born to mothers who smoke have more than twice the risk of dying from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).3\nWeight Gain in Pregnancy\nNo single maternal weight gain target meets the needs of all women. The amount of weight a woman optimally gains varies with her height, age, plans to breast feed, and whether she is delivering twins. However, a few basic guidelines are generally accepted:4 Women who enter pregnancy at more than 120% of standard weight still have an obligatory weight gain of 15–25 pounds at a rate of about 0.7 pounds per week. Women who are at ideal body weight and are not going to nurse have a target of gaining about 22 pounds overall at a rate of 0.8 pounds per week. Women who enter pregnancy between 90% and 110% of ideal body weight and plan to nurse have a target weight gain of 25–35 pounds overall at a rate of 0.9 pounds per week during the second and third trimesters. Physically immature adolescents and women less than 90% of ideal body weight have a target weight gain of 32 (28–40) pounds at a rate of 1.1 pounds per week. Women who know they are going to have twins have a target weight gain of 40 (35–45) pounds with a weekly rate of 1.4 pounds during the last 20 weeks of pregnancy.\nAnother way to determine the appropriate weight gain for pregnancy is by using the Body Mass Index (BMI). The BMI is calculated by dividing your body weight (in kilograms) by the square of your height (in meters). (A kilogram is equal to 2.2 pounds; a meter is equal to about 39 inches.) According to the standard set in 1990 by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academy of Sciences,5 a woman with a low BMI (less than 19.8) should gain a total of 12.5–18 kg (27.5–39.7 pounds) during pregnancy; a woman with a normal BMI (19.8–26) should gain a total of 11.5–16 kg (25.4–35.3 pounds) during pregnancy; a woman with a high BMI (greater than 26.0–29.0) should gain a total of 7–11.5 kg (15.4–25.4 pounds) during pregnancy. Adolescents and black women should strive for gains at the upper end of the recommended range. Short women (less than five feet) should strive for gains at the lower end of this range. Obese women (BMI greater than 29) have a separate recommended target weight gain of about 6 kg (13.2 pounds). Published studies suggest that only 30–40% of American women actually have weight gains within the IOM's recommended ranges.6 , 7 , 8\nAlthough the IOM's national recommendations concerning pregnancy weight gain have been widely adopted, they have not been universally accepted.9 The amount of weight gain during pregnancy varies considerably among women with good pregnancy outcomes.10 , 11 For that reason, weight gain alone is not likely to be a perfect screening tool for pregnancy complications. Nevertheless, weight gains outside the IOM's recommended ranges are associated with twice as many poor pregnancy outcomes than are weight gains within the ranges. A systematic review of all studies published between 1990 and 1997 that specifically examined fetal and maternal outcomes showed that weight gain within the IOM's recommended ranges is associated with the best outcome for both mothers and infants.12\nWeight loss programs are not generally recommended during pregnancy. Nevertheless, it should be noted that being overweight while pregnant increases the incidence of various conditions in both the mother and the fetus, such as gestational diabetes and blood pressure problems. The risk is proportional to the amount of excess weight. Overweight women have a higher risk of cesarean deliveries and a higher incidence of anesthetic and post-operative complications in these deliveries. Poor responsiveness in the newborn, large head, and some birth defects are more frequent in infants of obese mothers. Maternal obesity increases the risk of newborn death. The average cost of hospital prenatal and postnatal care is higher for overweight mothers than for normal-weight mothers. Infants of overweight mothers require admission into intensive care units more often than do infants of normal-weight mothers.13\nSome women will be concerned that the IOM's recommended weight gain will result in too much weight gain or more weight retention after the baby is born, but there is no evidence to support this concern. Although there are risks associated with being overweight during pregnancy, dieting during pregnancy can seriously endanger the health of the fetus. A low rate of pregnancy weight gain has been shown, in most studies, to increase the risk of premature delivery.14 There is no evidence that restricting normal weight gain in pregnancy is either safe or beneficial.15\nHolistic Options\nIn one preliminary study, acupuncture relieved pain and diminished disability in the low back during pregnancy better than physiotherapy.16\nA controlled trial found that acupuncture significantly reduced symptoms in women with hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy that usually requires hospitalization.17 Treatment consisted of acupuncture at a single point on the forearm three times daily for two consecutive days. Acupressure (in which pressure, rather than needles, is used to stimulate acupuncture points) has also been found in several preliminary trials to be mildly effective in the treatment of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy.18 , 19 , 20\nEating Right\nThe right diet is the key to managing many diseases and to improving general quality of life. For this condition, scientific research has found benefit in the following healthy eating tips.\nRecommendation\nWhy\nEat well\nA well-balanced and varied diet that includes fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and fish will provide the nutrients you and your baby need.\nNearly all pregnant women can benefit from good nutritional habits prior to and during pregnancy. The increased number of birth defects during times of famine attest to the adverse effects of poor nutrition during pregnancy. For example, in a dietary survey of pregnant women, higher dietary intake of niacin (a form of vitamin B3) during the first trimester was correlated with higher birth weights, longer length, and larger head circumference (all signs of healthier infants).\nWomen who consume a standard Western diet (high in fat and sugar and low in complex carbohydrates) during pregnancy and breast-feeding may not get adequate amounts of essential vitamins and minerals, which can result in health problems for the newborn. Pregnant women should choose a well-balanced and varied diet that includes fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and fish. Refined sugars, white flour, fried foods, processed foods, and chemical additives should be avoided. In one study, women who consumed a healthful diet (consisting mainly of fish, low-fat meats and dairy products, oils, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes) had a 90% reduction in the incidence of preterm deliveries, compared with those who consumed their usual diet.\nCut the caffeine\nTo reduce your chances of miscarriage, avoid drinking coffee and consuming other caffeine-containing foods and beverages.\nConsumption of moderate to large amounts of caffeine while pregnant has been associated with an increased risk of miscarriage. Although some studies suggest that only very large amounts of caffeine increase the risk of miscarriage, an analysis of clinical trials found that women who consumed more than 150 mg of caffeine (roughly one to two cups of coffee) per day while pregnant had an increased risk of miscarriage or delivering a baby with a low birth weight. The FDA has advised women to avoid drinking coffee and consuming other caffeine-containing foods and beverages during pregnancy.\nSupplements\nWhat Are Star Ratings?\nOur proprietary \"Star-Rating\" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by some in the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.\nFor over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.\n3 Stars Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.\n2 Stars Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.\n1 Star For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.\nSupplement\nWhy\n3 Stars\nFolic Acid\n800 mcg daily, beginning before pregnancy\nSupplementing with folic acid protects against the formation of birth defects, such as spina bifida. It also may lead to fewer infections for mothers and higher birth weight for babies.\nMost doctors, many other healthcare professionals, and the March of Dimes recommend that all women of childbearing age supplement with 400 mcg per day of folic acid. Such supplementation could protect against the formation of neural tube defects (such as spina bifida) during the time between conception and when pregnancy is discovered.\nThe requirement for the B vitamin folic acid doubles during pregnancy, to 800 mcg per day from all sources. Deficiencies of folic acid during pregnancy have been linked to low birth weight and to an increased incidence of neural tube defects (e.g., spina bifida) in infants. In one study, women who were at high risk of giving birth to babies with neural tube defects were able to lower their risk by 72% by taking folic acid supplements prior to and during pregnancy. Several preliminary studies have shown that a deficiency of folate in the blood may increase the risk of stunted growth of the fetus. This does not prove, however, that folic acid supplementation results in higher birth weights. Although some trials have found that folic acid and iron, when taken together, have improved birth weights, other trials have found supplementation with these nutrients to be ineffective.\nThe relationship between folate status and the risk of miscarriage is also somewhat unclear. In some studies, women who have had habitual miscarriages were found to have elevated levels of homocysteine (a marker of folate deficiency). In a preliminary study, 22 women with recurrent miscarriages who had elevated levels of homocysteine were treated with 15 mg per day of folic acid and 750 mg per day of vitamin B6, prior to and throughout their next pregnancy. This treatment reduced homocysteine levels to normal and was associated with 20 successful pregnancies. It is not known whether supplementing with these vitamins would help prevent miscarriages in women with normal homocysteine levels. As the amounts of folic acid and vitamin B6 used in this study were extremely large and potentially toxic, this treatment should be used only with the supervision of a doctor.\nIn other studies, however, folate levels did not correlate with the incidence of habitual miscarriages.\nPreliminary and double-blind evidence has shown that women who use a multivitamin-mineral formula containing folic acid beginning three months before becoming pregnant and continuing through the first three months of pregnancy have a significantly lower risk of having babies with neural tube defects (e.g., spina bifida) and other congenital defects.\nIn addition to achieving significant protection against birth defects, women who take folic acid supplements during pregnancy have been reported to have fewer infections, and to give birth to babies with higher birth weights and better Apgar scores. (An Apgar score is an evaluation of the well-being of a newborn, based on his or her color, crying, muscle tone, and other signs.) However, if a woman waits until after discovering her pregnancy to begin taking folic acid supplements, it will probably be too late to prevent a neural tube defect.\n3 Stars\nIodine\nRefer to label instructions\nIodine is an essential nutrient for the development of the fetal thyroid gland which, in turn, is important for brain development.\nIodine is an essential nutrient for the development of the fetal thyroid gland which, in turn, is important for brain development. Even mild iodine deficiency during pregnancy may have an adverse effect on cognitive function of the child. In a preliminary study of women in Italy, iodine deficiency severe enough to cause hypothyroidism during pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder in their children. However, excessive iodine intake can also adversely affect the thyroid gland. Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should ask their healthcare professional whether they should take a prenatal supplement that contains iodine.\n2 Stars\nBiotin\nUse a prenatal supplement that includes biotin\nBiotin deficiency may occur in as many as 50% of pregnant women. A prenatal multiple vitamin and mineral formula that contains biotin may help prevent a deficiency.\nBiotin deficiency may occur in as many as 5
% of pregnant women. As biotin deficiency in pregnant animals results in birth defects, it seems reasonable to use a prenatal multiple vitamin and mineral formula that contains biotin.\n2 Stars\nCalcium\nObtain a total of 1,500 to 2,000 mg daily, including both supplement and food sources\nCalcium needs double during pregnancy. Supplementing with calcium may reduce the risk of preeclampsia and pre-term delivery and improve the bone strength of the fetus.\nCalcium needs double during pregnancy. Low dietary intake of this mineral is associated with increased risk of preeclampsia, a potentially dangerous (but preventable) condition characterized by high blood pressure and swelling. Supplementation with calcium may reduce the risk of pre-term delivery, which is often associated with preeclampsia. Calcium may reduce the risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension, though these effects are more likely to occur in women who are calcium deficient. Supplementation with up to 2 grams of calcium per day by pregnant women with low dietary calcium intake has been shown to improve the bone strength of the fetuses.\nPregnant women should consume 1,500 mg of calcium per day from all sources—food plus supplements. Food sources of calcium include dairy products, dark green leafy vegetables, tofu, sardines (canned with edible bones), salmon (canned with edible bones), peas, and beans.\n2 Stars\nFish Oil\n2.7 to 6.1 mg daily of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA plus DHA)\nSupplementing with fish oil (providing the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA) significantly reduced recurrence of premature delivery, according to one analysis.\nSupplementation with fish oil (providing either 2.7 g or 6.1 g per day of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA) significantly reduced recurrence of premature delivery, according to data culled from six clinical trials involving women with a high risk for such complications. Fish oil supplementation did not prevent premature delivery of twin pregnancies, nor did it have any preventive effect against intrauterine growth retardation or pregnancy-induced hypertension. Fish oils should be free of contaminants, such as mercury and organochlorine pesticides. Women who eat substantial amounts of certain types of seafood (e.g., swordfish, tuna) may be consuming contaminants that can increase the risk of brain and nervous system abnormalities in their offspring. Exposure to mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) was found to be increased in relation to maternal intake of seafood. Higher exposure to these toxic contaminants has been linked to an increased risk of deficits in the developing brains and nervous systems of the children.\n2 Stars\nFish Oil (Prenatal Growth)\nRefer to label instructions\nThe DHA found in fish oil is essential for the development of the visual system in infants.\nThe DHA found in fish oil is essential for the development of the visual system in infants. In one double-blind study, 103 term infants were randomly assigned to receive either formula with no docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) or arachidonic acid (ARA) or formula supplemented with DHA and ARA at concentrations similar to those found in human milk, starting when they were six days old. Visual maturation was assessed by measuring sweep visual evoked potential at ages 6, 17, 26, and 52 weeks. At each age, the supplemented group measured better, which led researchers to conclude that long-term supplementation of infant formula with DHA and ARA in amounts typical in human milk may help enhance visual development during the first year of life.\n2 Stars\nIron\nConsult a qualified healthcare practitioner\nIron requirements increase during pregnancy, making iron deficiency in pregnancy quite common. Supplementation may help prevent a deficiency.\nIron requirements increase during pregnancy, making iron deficiency in pregnancy quite common. Iron supplement use in the United States is estimated at 85% during pregnancy, with most women taking supplements three or more times per week for three months. Pregnant women with a documented iron deficiency need doctor-supervised treatment. In one study, 65% of women who were not given extra iron developed iron deficiency during pregnancy, compared with none who received an iron supplement. However, there is a clear increase in reported side effects with increasing supplement amounts of iron, especially iron sulfate. Supplementation with large amounts of iron has also been shown to reduce blood levels of zinc. Although the significance of that finding is not clear, low blood levels of zinc have been associated with an increased risk of complications in both the mother and fetus.\nIron supplementation was associated in one study with an increased incidence of birth defects, possibly as a result of an iron-induced deficiency of zinc. Although additional research needs to be done, the evidence suggests that women who are supplementing with iron during pregnancy should also take a multivitamin-mineral formula that contains adequate amounts of zinc. To be on the safe side, pregnant women should discuss their supplement program with a doctor.\n2 Stars\nMagnesium (Leg cramps)\n100 mg of magnesium three times per day for four weeks\nSome, though not all, research suggests that supplementing with magnesium may improve pregnancy-induced leg cramps.\nA double-blind trial found that supplementing with 100 mg of magnesium three times per day for four weeks improved pregnancy-induced leg cramps. However, another double-blind study found that 360 mg of magnesium per day for two weeks did not relieve pregnancy-induced leg cramps.\n2 Stars\nSAMe (Cholestasis)\nRefer to label instructions\nSAMe (S-adenosylmethionine) supplementation has been shown to aid in the resolution of blocked bile flow (cholestasis), an occasional complication of pregnancy.21, 22\nSAMe (S-adenosylmethionine) supplementation has been shown to aid in the resolution of blocked bile flow (cholestasis), an occasional complication of pregnancy.\n2 Stars\nVitamin B6 (High Homocysteine)\n750 mg daily taken under the supervision of a doctor\nWomen who habitually miscarry have been found to have high homocysteine levels. Vitamin B6 may reduce these levels and increase the chances of a successful pregnancy.\nThe relationship between folate status and the risk of miscarriage is also somewhat unclear. In some studies, women who have had habitual miscarriages were found to have elevated levels of homocysteine (a marker of folate deficiency). In a preliminary study, 22 women with recurrent miscarriages who had elevated levels of homocysteine were treated with 15 mg per day of folic acid and 750 mg per day of vitamin B6, prior to and throughout their next pregnancy. This treatment reduced homocysteine levels to normal and was associated with 20 successful pregnancies. It is not known whether supplementing with these vitamins would help prevent miscarriages in women with normal homocysteine levels. As the amounts of folic acid and vitamin B6 used in this study were extremely large and potentially toxic, this treatment should be used only with the supervision of a doctor.\n2 Stars\nVitamin C\n100 mg daily\nSupplementing with vitamin C during pregnancy may reduce the risk of premature rupture of membranes (PROM) and may improve lung function in the child.\nPremature rupture of membranes (PROM) affects 10 to 20% of all pregnancies. It is an important cause of preterm delivery and is associated with increased rates of complications in both the mother and child. In a double-blind study, supplementing with 100 mg of vitamin C per day, beginning in the twentieth week of pregnancy, reduced the incidence of PROM by 74%. The women in this study were consuming only about 65 mg of vitamin C per day in their diet, which is less than the RDA of 80 to 85 mg per day for pregnant women. In a double-blind study of pregnant smokers, supplementation with 500 mg per day of vitamin C, beginning at 23 weeks of pregnancy or earlier and continuing until delivery, improved lung function and decreased the incidence of wheezing in the offspring.\n2 Stars\nZinc\nUse a prenatal supplement that includes zinc\nIn one study, women who used a zinc-containing nutritional supplement before and after conception had a 36% decreased chance of having a baby with a neural tube defect.\nIn a preliminary study, pregnant women who used a zinc-containing nutritional supplement in the three months before and after conception had a 36% decreased chance of having a baby with a neural tube defect, and women who had the highest dietary zinc intake (but took no vitamin supplement) had a 30% decreased risk.\n1 Star\nDandelion\nRefer to label instructions\nDandelion is a tonic herb, believed to strengthen or invigorate organ systems. A rich source of vitamins and minerals, it promotes urine and bile flow and helps with the common digestive complaints of pregnancy.\nMany tonic herbs, which are believed to strengthen or invigorate organ systems or the entire body, can be taken safely every day during pregnancy. Examples include dandelion leaf and root, red raspberry leaf, and nettle. Dandelion leaf and root are rich sources of vitamins and minerals, including beta-carotene, calcium, potassium, and iron. Dandelion leaf is mildly diuretic (promotes urine flow); it also stimulates bile flow and helps with the common digestive complaints of pregnancy. Dandelion root is traditionally used to strengthen and invigorate the liver.\n1 Star\nGoat's Rue\nRefer to label instructions\nGoat's rue has a history of use in Europe for supporting breast-feeding. Taking goat's rue tincture may be helpful in increasing milk volume.\nGoat's rue (Galega officinalis) has a history of use in Europe for supporting breast-feeding. Taking 1 teaspoon of goat's rue tincture per day is considered by some European practitioners to be helpful in increasing milk volume. Studies to support the use of goat's rue as a galactagogue are lacking.\n1 Star\nNettle\nRefer to label instructions\nNettle leaf is rich in calcium and iron and is mildly diuretic. It enriches and increases the flow of breast milk and restores the mother's energy following childbirth.\nMany tonic herbs, which are believed to strengthen or invigorate organ systems or the entire body, can be taken safely every day during pregnancy. Examples include dandelion leaf and root, red raspberry leaf, and nettle. Dandelion leaf and root are rich sources of vitamins and minerals, including beta-carotene, calcium, potassium, and iron. Dandelion leaf is mildly diuretic (promotes urine flow); it also stimulates bile flow and helps with the common digestive complaints of pregnancy. Dandelion root is traditionally used to strengthen and invigorate the liver.\nNettle leaf is rich in the minerals calcium and iron, is mildly diuretic, and is diuretic. Nettle leaf is rich in the minerals calcium and iron, is and mildly diuretic. Nettle enriches and increases the flow of breast milk and restores the mother's energy following childbirth.\n1 Star\nPycnogenol\n30 mg per day\nIn a controlled study, pregnant women who took Pycnogenol reported some relief of pain in the legs, pelvis, hip, and low back.\nIn a controlled study, pregnant women who took 30 mg per day of Pycnogenol reported some relief of pain in the legs, pelvis, hip, and low back. Double-blind research is needed to confirm these findings.\n1 Star\nRed Raspberry\nRefer to label instructions\nRich in vitamins and minerals, red raspberry is traditionally used to strengthen and invigorate the uterus, increase milk flow, and restore the mother's system after childbirth.\nMany tonic herbs, which are believed to strengthen or invigorate organ systems or the entire body, can be taken safely every day during pregnancy. Examples include dandelion leaf and root, red raspberry leaf, and nettle. Dandelion leaf and root are rich sources of vitamins and minerals, including beta-carotene, calcium, potassium, and iron. Dandelion leaf is mildly diuretic (promotes urine flow); it also stimulates bile flow and helps with the common digestive complaints of pregnancy. Dandelion root is traditionally used to strengthen and invigorate the liver.\nRed raspberry leaf is the most frequently mentioned traditional herbal tonic for general support of pregnancy and breast-feeding. Rich in vitamins and minerals (especially iron), it is traditionally used to strengthen and invigorate the uterus, increase milk flow, and restore the mother's system after childbirth.\n1 Star\nSage\nRefer to label instructions\nSage has traditionally been used to dry up milk production when a woman no longer wishes to breast-feed.\nSage has traditionally been used to dry up milk production when a woman no longer wishes to breast-feed. It should not be taken during pregnancy.\n1 Star\nVitex\nRefer to label instructions\nVitex is one of the best recognized herbs in Europe for promoting lactation. One trial found that vitex tincture could increase the amount of milk produced by mothers with or without pregnancy complications.\nNumerous herbs, known as galactagogues, are used in traditional herbal medicine systems around the world to promote production of breast milk. These are known as galactagogues. Vitex is one of the best recognized herbs in Europe for promoting lactation. An older German clinical trial found that 15 drops of a vitex tincture three times per day could increase the amount of milk produced by mothers with or without pregnancy complications, as compared with mothers given vitamin B1 or nothing. However, vitex should not be taken during pregnancy.\nRelated Information\nHealthy Pregnancy Advice\nBirth Defects Prevention\nBreast-Feeding Support\nFolic Acid\nPregnancy & Omega-3s: A Smart Combination for Baby's Brain\nReferences\n1.

After selling abstract art online for five years, Pearson published a nonfiction book detailing the process of building a successful online art business. Pearson obtained a bachelor's degree in art from the University of Rio Grande in 1997.\nView Full Profile\nStitches involve sewing together sections of skin that have been separated because of injury or surgery. This procedure is necessary to facilitate the proper healing of wounds and to prevent infections. However, wounds that are stitched often scar as they heal, leaving irregular, discolored marks on the surface of the skin. Although not all scars are preventable, you can take steps to minimize scar tissue and improve the appearance of your skin.\nBandaging a stitched finger. (Image: Ilya Andriyanov/Hemera/Getty Images)\nStep 1\nKeep the stitched area covered. According to Karyn Repinski, contributor to the Fitness magazine website, keeping a wound uncovered can double healing time. Cover the entire wound with an occlusive bandage, which is a gauze or cotton dressing that absorbs moisture and protects the wound against infection, according to CureHunter.com.\nStep 2\nAvoid using hydrogen peroxide to cleanse the stitched area. While many people think that hydrogen peroxide is good for wound treatment, it destroys new skin cells that form during the beginning of the healing process, notes Repinski. Proper skin cell growth is essential for minimizing scar tissue.\nStep 3\nApply an antibiotic ointment to the stitched wound for the first week, advises Repinski. Combined with occlusive bandaging, this will help prevent bacterial infections that impede proper healing. After the first week, switch to petroleum jelly to facilitate continued new skin growth.\nStep 4\nApply vitamin E oil to the skin's surface after your doctor has removed the stitches and the wound has healed. According to Dr. James F. Balch, author of \"Prescription for Nutritional Healing,\" vitamin E oil is a powerful antioxidant that can prevent free radical molecules from attacking the skin tissue at the wound site, which may worsen scarring. Vitamin E oil is also thought to stimulate the growth of healthy skin cells, reducing the need for collagen, the primary component of scar tissue.\nStep 5\nAvoid exposing the wound to the sun's ultraviolet rays, advises Repinski. The sun's rays slow healing and may activate melanocytes, which are pigmentation agents that can discolor the healing skin at the wound site. Keep the area covered with clothing or a sunscreen that has a rating of SPF 15 or higher.\nStep 6\nMassage the wound site for 15 to 30 seconds three times a day after it has completely healed. According to Repinski, this may help break down collagen tissue, which can contribute to smoother skin and reduce the appearance of scar tissue.\nThings You'll Need\nOcclusive bandages\nAntibiotic ointment\nPetroleum jelly\nVitamin E\nTip\nCheck with your doctor periodically to make sure the stitched area is healing properly. Your doctor will look for signs of infection or other problems that can worsen scarring.\nWarning\nAlthough many medical professionals believe that vitamin E is effective for healing scars and keeping skin healthy, others disagree. A University of Miami study suggested that vitamin E may actually impair wound healing, notes Repinski. Vitamin E may also cause allergic reactions.\nREFERENCES & RESOURCES\nFitness: The Best Scar Treatments\n\"Prescription for Nutritional Healing\"; James F.

These 8 Supplements Are Your Morning Shot of Smart\nNewsletter\nStuck in a Brain Rut? These 8 Supplements Will Help You Concentrate\nMedically reviewed by Katherine Marengo, LDN, RD on October 4, 2018 — Written by Gabrielle Kassel\nGinseng\nMCTs\nL-theanine\nRhodiola rosea\nMaca\nPremade blends\nTakeaway\nShare on Pinterest\nNootropics can be your micro-brain boost\nThe go-go-go lifestyle of the current age — which has us allocating even our time on the porcelain throne to catching up on emails — can be seriously taxing on our bodies and brains.\nIn response, productivity warriors and creatives alike are turning toward brain-boosting aids known as “nootropics” or “smart drugs.”\nAccording to Jennifer T. Haley, MD, FAAD, nootropics “are broadly defined as anything that enhances your cognitive capacity and performance, from memory to creativity, motivation to concentration.”\nNootropics have been around since the 1970s, according to biohacker and American College of Sports Medicine Exercise Physiologist Fiona Gilbert, but have re-emerged thanks to anecdotal evidence and online testimonials that they decrease stress and increase mental stamina.\nLike stress tonics or anxiety hacks, nootropics may be the micro-boost you need to get through your work day. Keep reading to learn which may be the best smart drug for you based on your brain-boosting needs.\nReach for ginseng to beat mental stress\nShare on Pinterest\nIf you’re not familiar with this herbal supplement, now’s a good time to learn. Thanks to its brain-related benefits, it’s also categorized as a nootropic.\nOne 2010 study tested a 400 milligram (mg) dose on 30 participants for 8 days. Participants showed improved calmness and ability to do math.\nGinseng benefits:\ntreatment for stress\nimproved brain function\nantioxidant support\nTry it in its natural form: Ginseng can be consumed as a root, which you can eat raw like a carrot or lightly steamed to soften it. The recommended amount is 2 one-centimeter thick slices. It can also be added to homemade soups or teas for an earthy taste.\nSupplement form: Ginseng can be found in powder, tablet, capsule, and oil form. It’s best to start with 200 to 400 mg of the extract and gradually increase from there.\nPossible side effects: For the most part, ginseng is safe to consume. However, Gilbert says, “headaches, dizziness, anxiety, insomnia, nervousness, nausea, diarrhea, agitation, dry mouth, and rapid heart rate are always a possible side effect of taking nootropics, especially if they’re taken incorrectly.”\nAdd MCTs to your coffee to sharpen your brain\nShare on Pinterest\nMedium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) or fatty acids have been widely studied for their brain-health properties (especially in people with Alzheimer’s).\nFor example, according to one study from 2013, MCT supplements helped increase brain energy by 9 percent. But most notable is the which suggests that MCTs can provide energy to dying brain cells, keeping neurons alive in the face of Alzheimer’s.\nMCT benefits:\ngeneral brain health\nbrain energy\nanti-stress\nantioxidants\nTry it in its natural form: If you want a natural version of MCT, opt for coconut oil. The recommended dose in most studies has been 2 tablespoons (or 30 ml).\nSupplement form: Brew up a pot of coffee bulletproof style by adding MCT coconut oil, which is a rich source of MCTs. Dave Asprey, founder and CEO of Bulletproof recommends starting with 8 to 12 ounces of coffee and 2 tablespoons of an MCT source. “This will provide longer lasting energy rather than a drink that simply helps you wake up — all in all, clean energy without the negative effects of caffeine and sugar crashes is key,” he says.\nPossible side effects: One study found that some people will experience adverse reactions such as diarrhea, dyspepsia, and flatulence. So if you begin taking MCTs and have those effects, stop taking them. MCTs are also very high in saturated fats and calories, which means it could negatively affect your cholesterol levels and weight loss initiatives. However, as long as you keep to 1 to 2 tablespoons per day and use it to replace — not add — to your normal fat intake, these negative effects are unlikely.\nIf you have writer’s block, take L-theanine\nShare on Pinterest\nL-theanine is an amino acid that’s a major component of black and green tea. But on its own, research shows that it may promote anything from relaxation to arousal.\nOne small 2007 study found that L-theanine intake resulted in a reduction of stress responses such as in the heart rate relative to the placebo.\nAnother study found that consuming L-theanine can both increase mental focus and arousal.\nL-theanine benefits:\nfeeling of calm\nincreased creativity\nTry it in its natural form: L-theanine can be found in green, black, and white teas — with green tea containing the most L-theanine — usually with 25 to 60 mg.\nSupplement form: The average recommended dosage of L-theanine is a 200 mg dose taken twice a day in either pill or powder form. Brianna Stubbs, PhD, the Head of Science of HVMN, a nootropic supplement company, recommends taking Sprint, which combines L-theanine with caffeine for an optimal brain boost without energy spikes that can come from taking caffeine alone.\nPossible side effects: According to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, something called “polyphenol EGCG,” which is found in green tea can actually reduce the efficacy of some chemotherapy drugs, so it’s worth chatting with your healthcare provider before investing if you have a pre-existing condition.\nIf you have a midday slump, try rhodiola rosea\nShare on Pinterest\n“Rhodiola rosea is an adaptogenic nootropic that may improve cognitive function, enhance memory and learning, and protect the brain. It also helps with emotional calming and protects against emotional stress,” says Haley.\nIn fact, a found that rhodiola may be helpful at alleviating brain fog. A with 101 people found that 400 mg of rhodiola rosea per day for four weeks produced significant improvements in symptoms of stress, such as fatigue, exhaustion, and anxiety.\nRhodiola rosea benefits:\nalleviate brain fatigue\nbeat stress\nTry it in its natural form: Rhodiola is available in tea form, however Haley says that they’re not typically recommended because it makes accurate dosing tricky.\nSupplement form: Rhodiola supplements are available as tinctures, pills, extracts, and powders — which are believed to be equally all effective. Haley notes that whatever variety you try, you should avoid ingesting before bed because it may elicit an excitatory response. When shopping for a supplement, look for one that contains a standardized amount of 3 percent rosavins and 1 percent salidrosides, which is the ratio that these compounds naturally occur in the root.\nPossible side effects: Rhodiola rosea is generally safe and well-tolerated for most people. Look for a third-party certification to make sure the product you’re purchasing has optimal effectiveness and safety.\nIf you’re having trouble focusing, opt for maca\nShare on Pinterest\nMaca root is another buzzy superfood that also functions as a nootropic, which Stubbs has found personally gives her a boost.\nAccording to in 2006, maca root works directly upon two regions of the brain (the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland) to help boost focus.\nA later found it may boost physical and mental energy, reduce stress, alleviate depression, and calm anxiety while also stimulating brain activity.\nMaca benefits:\nincreased mental energy\nbetter focus\nimproved overall memory\nfeeling of calm\nTry it in its natural form: Maca root can be cooked the way you’d cook a potato, or added to soup or tea. Whilemaca is categorized as a cruciferous vegetable it’s almost never consumed the way you’d consume broccoli or cabbage. Instead, the root is dried and then ground into power which people add to their food.\nSupplement form: Maca is popular in both capsule supplements and powders — typically in doses between 1.5 and 3 grams. If you opt for powder, add it to your oatmeal or smoothies for a caramely taste.\nPossible side effects: Maca is generally safe for most people and it may take some experimenting to feel an effect. Talk to your doctor before trying any supplements, especially if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a thyroid problem.\nTry these scientific blends\nAs Stubbs says, “[Nootropics] can be a single substance or it can be a blend. But it really is anything that improves your cognitive function, that is on the consumer level: typically not FDA-regulated, natural, and has limited side-effects.”\nSo while some nootropics can be found in the organic section of your local health store, others, like Bulletproof, come in a premade formula for ease.\nAfter talking with the founder of each of the companies below and researching the ingredients and doses of each, these blends seemed worth trying.\nHowever, keep in mind that nootropic blends are not FDA regulated and can be quite pricey. Always talk to your doctor before trying these supplements.\n1. Bulletproofs Unfair Advantage for a midday pick me up\nUnfair Advantage shots are made up of CoQ10 and PQQ, two coenzymes that may help your cells create energy.\nWhile no research has been done on this specific product, research has shown that CoQ10 may reduce and that might lead to brain disease.\nAnother found that adding dietary PQQ to participants’ meals resulted in strong evidence that it enhances mitochondria-related functions, like mental focus.\nUnfair advantage benefits:\nburst of brain energy\npromotes brain health\n“By increasing your body’s ability to make ATP — the energy currency of your cells — it gives you more brain energy and more body energy. Unfair Advantage provides a quick, body-friendly burst of brain-enhancing energy without the jittery caffeine vibe,” Asprey says about the product.\nDirections: Take 1 to 4 ampules at a time of Unfair Advantage during the day.\nPossible side effects: While the research on this blend’s benefits is lacking, what’s available suggests that these two coenzymes are low-risk to add to your diet. Though, it’s worth talking to your doctor if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding.\n2. Opt for Beekeeper’s Naturals B.LXR Brain Fuel brain nourishment\nBeekeeper’s Naturals B.LXR claims to offer a clean, jitter-free brain boost. The supplement lists royal jelly, bacopa monnieri plant extract, and ginkgo biloba leaf as its primary ingredients.\n“Royal jelly is one of the most amazing superfoods for the brain, and as a bonus it’s keto,” says Beekeeper’s Naturals CEO Carly Stein. “While bacopa monnieri plant extract and ginkgo biloba leaf are two adaptogens that [are] powerful for the brain and underrated.”\nB.LXR brain fuel benefits:\nfight brain fog\ngeneral memory and focus support\nWhile this specific blend hasn’t been studied, there is some research on its individual ingredients.\nBacopa counteract brain fog, while ginkgo to help promote memory preservation.\nAnd, royal jelly, which contains a fatty acid called 10-HDA has to low mental energy in animals when we’re not getting enough. This fatty acid supports a protein called “.”\nA bonus of this product: it’s liquid, which Stein says promotes the nootropics bioavailability — or how well the body is able to absorb it.\nDirections: Stein personally takes half a vial every single day, which is the amount she suggests for first-timers. However, a full vial is safe.\nPossible side effects: While the research on this specific blend’s benefits is nonexistent, the research available suggests that these ingredients are low-risk.\n3. If you feel scatterbrained, try Neutein\n“Neutein, for example, is backed by 5 human clinical studies with ages that range from 18 to 65 and up, showing that it can increase focus, attention, and working memory. The best part is that this smart drug works directly on the multitasking portion of your short-term memory,” says Dr. Mike Roussell, PhD, co-founder of Neuro Coffee and Neutein.\nWhat’s in it? A combination of patented spearmint and marigold extracts.\nNeutein benefits:\nimproved working memory\nsustained focus\noverall cognitive support\nTry it: Roussell suggests taking two pills each morning with water for at least 45 days and tracking the mental benefits to see the daily effects.\nKnow the facts before trying\nAccording to Research and Markets, the brain health industry is growing, with a projected worth of $11.6 billion by 2024 — meaning even if you haven’t heard of these brain boosters (think: ginseng, L-theanine, MCTs) just yet, it’s likely they’ll start making more of an appearance on your Instagram feeds and pharmacy shelves.\nSo it’s best to get the facts straight before falling for the packaging.\nRemember: not all of them work the same on everybody, and each one has different uses — from creativity to anti-anxiety.\nWhile we’ve mentioned four popular go-to ones to try, there are plenty more that individuals are testing for their day to day.\nTo read more on how to get started, read up on our beginner’s guide.

HealthWarehouse Archives - The Daily Headache\nHome\nAbout\nArchives\nResources\nContact\n-- Main Menu --HomeAboutArchivesResourcesContact\nSep\n24\nBy Kerrie Smyres\nGreat Price on Sumatriptan (Imitrex) at Health Warehouse\nCategory: Meds & Supplements, Resources, Treatment Tags: HealthWarehouse, imitrex, prescription drugs, sumatriptan, triptans 4 Comments\nHealthWarehouse, a licensed U.S. pharmacy based in Kentucky, charges even less for sumatriptan than Inhouse Pharmacy Europe, which I told you about last week. Bonus: it’s entirely legit and there’s no question if it’s legality, though you’ll need to send them a prescription.\nI’ve ordered other meds from Health Warehouse and have been pleased with the service. The prices are low and shipping is prompt. The only drawback is that they don’t take manufacturer’s coupons.\nWherever you buy sumatriptan, you can try to simulate the effect of Treximet by taking naproxen sodium (Aleve) along with it. (See paragraph five of Save Money on Sumatriptan (Imitrex/Imigran/Treximet) for details.) Some people find mixing their own medication cocktail is as effective as Treximet, others swear by the all-in-one Treximet. It’s worth a try to save money, but be sure to let your doctor know what you’re up to — safety is even more important than frugality!\nThanks to The Daily Headache reader on Facebook who told me about HealthWarehouse’s price on sumatriptan. And thanks to Timothy who suggested asking your doctor for triptan samples at every visit and thanking them profusely for them. He also pointed out that if you take a low dose of a medication, you can ask your doctor to write a prescription for a higher dose and split the pill in half.

Natural remedies for sinus and nasal congestion relief | EmaxHealth\nSkip to main content\nEmaxHealth\nHealth News\nMedical Press Releases\nBook Reviews\nHealth Gadgets\nSEARCH\nHome / Family Health / Flu and Cold\nNatural remedies for sinus and nasal congestion relief\nBy Teresa Tanoos G+ Oct 24 2013 - 2:00pm\nAdvertisement\nAlthough a stuffy or congested nose can be caused by thick mucus blocking the nasal passage, it can also be caused by swelling and inflammation of the small blood vessels lining our sinuses, not to mention that certain medical conditions like asthma can trigger symptoms as well.\nWhile gently blowing your nose may help, clearing all the mucus can be difficult, putting you at risk for an infection that may trigger excessive mucus production as your immune response becomes over-reactive. When this happens, you may feel some fluid dripping down the back of your throat.\nThere are several natural methods that can provide relief for a stuffy nose, while also reducing nasal drip. However, the most effective method to stop congested sinuses is to prevent it in the first place.\nAccording to a study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, the best way to prevent colds, including the sinus problems that often accompany them, is to simply gargle with plain water three times a day. If you do that, the study says you’ll reduce your risk of catching a cold with nasal congestion by nearly 40 percent.\nNevertheless, and despite your best efforts to prevent it, you may still experience sinus congestion. But the good news is there is something you can do to get relief – and naturally.\nThere are a variety of home remedies that can effectively relieve sinus discomfort and the underlying inflammation, as well as symptoms from a common cold and the flu. Here are some of the most common for treating sinus problems:\nSteam and Clean Treatment – Steam thins out mucus and constricts blood vessels, making it easier to rid your nasal passages of any gunk clogging them up. Here are some tips for using steam to effectively de-stuff your nose:\n1.\tBoil a pot of hot water, then pour it into a bowl and add six drops of eucalyptus, peppermint, lavender or mint oil, which are common oils used in aromatherapy to alleviate symptoms of congestion.\n2.\tNext, hold your face over the bowl with a towel placed over your head and the bowl, then inhale the steam.\n3.\tYou can also add herbs to the boiling water or add vinegar when inhaling steam to help kill bacteria.\nSinus Rinse Treatment – One of the most popular ways to relieve congestion is by using a saline (salt) solution to clean and clear your nasal cavities. You can buy a commercially prepared solution from your local pharmacy, or make one yourself:\n1.\tIf you prepare your own saline rinse, try using un-processed sea-salt mixed with distilled water and administering it directly into your nasal cavities with a dropper or bulk syringe.\n2.\tThe saline solution works by supposedly killing bacteria and shrinking the blood vessels on the affected membrane before flushing out the stale secretions.\n3.\tAlternatively, you can use a Neti pot to pour the solution into one side of the nose at a time, tilting your head side-ways over the sink as the solution comes out of the other side of your nose, or you can use a squeezable rinse bottle (the makers of the Neti pot make a good one), spraying it up one side of the nose at a time as you hold the other side closed with your mouth open.\nPungent Drink Treatment – Drinking something hot, especially if it contains ingredients that de-stuff the nasal passage, is a popular and easy way to get quick relief. Here is one recipe that has worked for many people:\n1.\tMix 2 teaspoons of organic apple cider vinegar and a pinch of cayenne pepper powder with a quarter cup of hot water.\n2.\tDrink it warm twice a day, both in the evening and morning.\n3.\tYou can also try adding hot salsa, horseradish, onion and crush black pepper cones.\nHoney Drink Treatment – Sinus problems can also include an annoying cough, especially when you have an infection triggering excessive mucus production, but here comes honey to the rescue, with a recipe from traditional Chinese medicine.\n1.\tMix 1 tablespoon honey with 1 cup of hot water, stir well, then drink and enjoy.\n2.\tHoney acts as a natural expectorant, promoting the flow of mucus.\n3.\tSqueeze some lemon in if you prefer a little tartness.\nAir Purifying Treatment – If your stuffed nose is due to allergens, installing an air conditioning purifier in your home can help remove allergens and other irritants that may be lurking around the house, or your can try the following:\n1.\tIf you have a vaporizer, try adding a few drops of essential oils like eucalyptus, peppermint, lavender or mint oil for a more aromatherapy effect.\n2.\tIf you don’t have a vaporizer, try using the steam inhalation method instead.\n3.\tA humidifier is another way to open clogged nasal passage, and using a portable one that you can place near your bed at night can really help alleviate sinus congestion during sleep.\nAdvertisement\nDrink Water Treatment – Drinking plenty of water is important for keeping yourself hydrated, and doing so throughout the day helps clear thin mucous from the nasal passage, while flushing out toxins from your body.\n1.\tYou may have heard that you shouldn’t drink tea when you have a cold, but that only applies to caffeinated tea, which can actually increase fluid loss.\n2.\tOtherwise, drinking herbal tea is good for your nasal health, especially if you steep the roots or leaves to release the natural compounds.\n3.\tGinger tea, lemon balm and peppermint tea have also been known to reduce the symptoms of cold.\nMustard Treatment – Mustard is an ancient remedy for nasal and chest congestion, as well as for the flu and chest colds, dating back to the Ancient Romans who early on understood the healing properties of mustard, as it has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that can be inhaled through the vapors. Try this recipe for making a mustard plaster:\n1.\tMix 1 tablespoon of dry mustard, 2 to 4 tablespoons flour, and 1 egg white with warm water to form a paste.\n2.\tNext, find a clean handkerchief, or square of muslin big enough to cover the upper chest, and smear the paste mixture over the cloth as if you were smearing mustard on a sandwich, then place another cloth over it.\n3.\tDab olive oil on the skin, and then apply the mustard plaster to the upper chest for a few minutes before removing and washing off any traces of mustard fro the skin*.\n* Mustard plaster can burn, so be careful not to leave it on for more than a few minutes.\nHot Lemonade Treatment – Using fresh lemons to make hot lemonade has been a flu remedy used since Roman times, but lemons are also acidic and help make mucous membranes distasteful to bacteria and viruses. Try this recipe using lemon oil, which gives lemon juice its aromatic qualities and contains antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and anti-inflammatory agents:\n1.\tPlace 1 chopped lemon (skin, pulp, and all) into 1 cup of boiling water.\n2.\tWhile the lemon steeps for 5 minutes, inhale.\n3.\tThen strain, add honey to taste and enjoy, drinking it 3 to 4 times a day until your symptoms clear.\nPepper Drink Treatment – Pepper is an irritant, but it’s good for congestion and cough with thick mucous. Try this recipe with pepper to stimulate circulation and the flow of mucus:\n1.\tPlace 1 teaspoon of black pepper into a cup and add 1 tablespoon of honey.\n2.\tFill the cup with boiling water, and let steep for 10 to 15 minutes.\n3.\tThen stir and sip.\nThyme Drink Treatment – It's time to try thyme when the mucous membranes are stuffed, and it’s also good for headaches, working as a powerful expectorant and antiseptic due to its constituent oil, thymol. Try cupping your hands around a mug of thyme tea and breathing in the steam with this quick and easy recipe:\n1.\tAdd 1 teaspoon of dried thyme leaves to 1 cup of boiling water.\n2.\tLet steep for five minutes while inhaling the steam.\n3.\tNext, strain the tea and sweeten with honey to taste, then slowly sip as the thymol works its way through your upper respiratory tract, loosening mucus and inhibiting bacteria from settling down to stay.\nSinus Supplement Treatment – Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses, and a handful of supplements can really make a difference, including the following\n1.\tTry taking Curcumin (500 mg daily), Vitamin C (2,000 to 4,000 mg daily in divided doses throughout the day), and essential fatty acids or EFAs (1,000 mg twice daily).\n2.\tVitamin D is another recommended supplement, with some doctors advising patients their patients to temporarily double or triple their daily dose of Vitamin D to help relieve sinus infections.\n3.\tSome doctors also recommend taking a daily dose of 10,000 IUs of vitamin A, plus an additional 15,000 IUs of the vitamin A precursor, known as beta-carotene, as Vitamin A helps to maintain a healthy immune system in general, while also keeping mucous membranes healthy*.\n* Zinc is a mineral also known to fight sinus infections, and it also improves the absorption of Vitamin A. As a supplement, 30 mg is the typical dose.\nThe above remedies are by no means conclusive, nor will they necessarily work for everyone. It's also important to see your doctor if your sinus symptoms do not improve or get worse because some sinus problems can lead to an infection, as well as polyps that can place pressure on the eyes and cause vision problems, not to mention other serious issues.\nIs it the flu or a cold? How to know the difference\nWhile the human nose is designed to serve as a high-efficiency air filter that's capable of removing 80 percent of the various substances in the air when it's functioning fully, problems erupt when it's unable to prevent mucus from reaching the lungs, where a sinus infection can occur.\nIf you experience any symptoms of a sinus infection, including low-grade fever, post-nasal drip, difficulties smelling, bad-breath, breathing problems, headache, fatigue, and/or cough, please see your doctor.\nSOURCE: The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Consumer Reports Health: Treating sinusitis, Don't rush to antibiotics (April 2012); miscellaneous other sources.\nFlu and Cold\nAdd new comment\nAdvertisement\nPlease, click to subscribe to our Youtube Channel to be notified about upcoming health and food tips.\nComments\nCarol Homann wrote on October 25, 2013 - 5:39pm Permalink\nSwelling and inflammation of the small blood vessels lining our sinuses, asthma, symptoms of a sinus infection, including low-grade fever, post-nasal drip, difficulties smelling, bad-breath, breathing problems, headache, fatigue, and/or cough are all symptoms of allergic reactions, and finding the food(s) responsible are more important than 'treating' the symptoms. Most doctors do not do allergy testing, and the few that do use outdated and incorrect methods that give false readings. The elimination method is the best, followed by the heartbeat test. Rest for 1 hour, then take your heart beat. This should be around 62 bpm. Take a small amount of the suspected food, rest for 1 hour and test again. If the heart beat is faster, say around 75 bpm, an allergic reaction is taking place and the fight or flight system has been activated. The most common allergens are; Dairy, in all its forms, peanuts, food coloring, chemicals like chlorine in our 'drinking' water, fluoride, and more.\nreply\nbrenda brown wrote on August 9, 2016 - 9:46pm Permalink\nI chew tobacco its in my blood stream makes me feel confused, help its poisoning ?\nreply\nYour name *\nE-mail *\nThe content of this field is kept private and will not be shown publicly.\nComment *\nNotify me when new comments are posted\nAll comments\nReplies to my comment\nLeave this field blank\nRelated Terms\nCould Food Additives Be Impairing the Effectiveness of Vaccines?

I would like to know if the “helichrysum essential oil” can be used for burn scars on my chest. I’ve had the scars for 20 years now. There are still white patches around my chest wall and slight alteration to my right breast. I dont know if the oil can help in healing them to turn back to my natural skin. The burns was caused by very hot oil, and the many visits i paid to Doctors in my country advised that doing plastic surgey is 50/50 as i might have keloids, this discouraged me from going on further. Any help you can render will be highly appreciated, thanks\nReply\nAndrea Podhola\nDecember 23, 2015 at 12:01 pm\nI have used DermalMD Scar Treatment Serum for years, it worked Great on my stretch marks after my children.

It has to be therapeutic grade, you can find in amazon. I’m using it on my daughters head she had surgery on. ..she was hit by another child in the playground and got a little scar right where she had 5 months ago, and after 3 times applying it, the scab fell off. Also for the breakouts I learned about Vit E. I started applying it on my skin and it’s cleared up in just 2 days. I used Vit E capsules, cut one capsule with scissors and applied it all over my face. Make sure it’s ingredient says “D-alpha tocopherol” not DL because thats synthetic form and the skin will excrete it faster than natural Vit E. Real Vit E will last in the body longer, and I’m also drinking the pill. I’m using 400IU. 4 th day and my husband noticed it looks clearer and healthier too. I bought the 21st century Vit E for $6.\nReply\nBrenda Helvey\nOctober 20, 2016 at 8:34 pm\nI have surgical scars from breast agmintation and was wondering what essential oils I could use.

Your skin is a living organism and is constantly regenerating itself. Use the Scar tissue oil recipe night and morning on a clean exfoliated face at least every other day. A spin brush type product is ideal. I’ve done this for years and I have beautiful skin. I look 10 years younger than I am!\nReply\nLoren\nFebruary 4, 2017 at 8:08 pm\nThanks Catherine, good advice.\nReply\nConstance\nMarch 8, 2017 at 9:32 am\nHi Catherine Fears,\nWhere did u buy the scar tissue oil reccipe?\nHope to hear from you.\nReply\nSnehashish\nJuly 8, 2017 at 4:07 pm\nI have prepared #4 Scar Tissue Oil.

Daily consumption of yogurt is good to maintain optimum gut health, even for the lactose intolerant. Low-fat yogurt aids weight loss by keeping you fuller for longer. Yogurt is known to fight vaginitis and keep the skin and hair smooth and healthy. It also helps in preventing colorectal cancer and keeping heart diseases at bay.\nIt’s as early as 6000 BCE when the Neolithic people started using animal milk as a food item that yogurt and fermented milk became a part of the diet. It is believed that yogurt was the result of an accident–when people used bags made from sheep gut or skin to store the milk which became fermented due to the bacteria present in the skin.1 Since then, this form of fermented milk has been in use across the globe including Asia, Middle East, certain European countries, and the Southeast Asia.\nYogurt, which is made by fermenting milk with lactic acid bacteria, has a high concentration of proteins, vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin B2 and B12, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. In fact, low-fat yogurt has 50 percent more potassium, calcium, and magnesium than low-fat milk. That is why yogurt offers a healthy option to heavier and richer dressings and toppings. It actually improves your diet quality and body metabolism. It also lowers systolic blood pressure and insulin resistance in the body and controls triglycerides levels as well.2\nYogurt As A Probiotic\nOne interesting fact many of us are not aware of is that the type of bacteria used to ferment and make the yogurt decides its quality and the health benefits it offers. According to the National Yogurt Association, standard yogurt is made by adding the live culture of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus to pasteurized milk. These bacteria do not actually inhabit our gut but stimulate the friendly microflora already present there. By doing this, they help maintain the general intestinal health. This type of yogurt is called the standard culture yogurt.3\nThen you have the probiotic yogurt or bio yogurt which is made with the probiotic strains of Bifidobacteria, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus casei. These probiotic bacteria have anticarcinogenic properties and offer benefits like improving lactose tolerance, reducing serum cholesterol, and boosting overall immune system.4\nOver the years, many studies have been done that show that Lactobacillus acidophilus, the bacteria used to ferment the milk to make yogurt, has a positive effect on our health because it can prevent intestinal infections.5\nThe probiotic strain of bacteria offers specific health benefits as they are similar to the beneficial microflora present in our gut. The probiotic yogurts have sweeter, milder taste and creamier texture. The bio yogurt aids in digestion and promotes general good health, as long as the probiotic strains get the chance to stay alive in your gut for a certain period.6\nThere are many health benefits to having yogurt daily. Here are some:\n1. Promises Better Gut Health\nWe see that every time you suffer from some stomach ailment or the other, whether it is gastrointestinal, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome or constipation, you are always asked to add yogurt to your diet for a certain period of time. This is because clinical studies have shown that the Lactobacillus and Streptococcus species of good bacteria present in yogurt improve the quality of gut microflora, bowel transit, and enhance the gastrointestinal immune system.7\nMoreover, consuming yogurt daily also helps people who are lactose intolerant. It is seen that lactose intolerant people are able to digest the lactose in yogurt better since it has lactic acid bacteria that restores the pH balance of the gastrointestinal or GI tract. In fact, it was seen that yogurt took longer to acidify than milk in the GI, thus, preventing acidity in the person.8\nThis happens because the bacterial lactase in the yogurt survives the acidic conditions of the stomach since it is protected within the bacterial cells. And as the pH increases when the yogurt enters your small intestine, a slow transit of the dairy product through your GI tract allow the bacterial lactase to be active, digesting lactose from yogurt to prevent any acidic reaction.9\nEating yogurt also helps in easing constipation. Studies show that when you eat unflavoured probiotic yogurt daily in the morning, it eases the colonic transit and regularize bowel movements.10\n2. May Help In Weight Loss\nYou will see that almost all dieticians and nutritionists helping you to lose fat, or manage your bodyweight will recommend taking low-fat yogurt as a snack. This is because low-fat yogurt not only improves your gut health and, thereby, your digestion, but it also helps you maintain an ideal weight. In a random trial, it was seen that overweight men who added a good amount of yogurt in their diet were able to reduce their waistline considerably and lower their body weight. They gained less weight as well.11 This is because yogurt offers higher levels of satiety so you feel fuller longer.12\n3. Protects Heart By Keeping It Healthy\nHaving yogurt daily also reduces serum cholesterol concentration which in turn reduces your risk of heart disease. In fact, it is suggested that regular intake of yogurt with Lactobacillus acidophilus can reduce your risk of heart disease by up to 10 percent.13\nMoreover, probiotic yogurt also helps in decreasing total cholesterol levels and reducing LDL cholesterol concentration and triglycerides. So it is safe to say that people with diabetes mellitus type 2 should add yogurt in their diet to keep a check on their cholesterol levels and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.14\n4. Prevents Colorectal Cancer\nLactobacillus and Streptococcus thermophilus, both powerful probiotics in yogurt, can actually prevent colorectal cancer. In a research on the effect of yogurt in preventing cancer, done over a period of two years, it was seen that yogurt could prevent the onset of cancer and stimulated the immune system. In fact, more men than women showed high positive results during the study. That is why the doctors now suggest that yogurt should be a part of your diet to prevent colorectal cancer.15\n5. Boosts Body’s Immune System\nIt is a known fact that regular gastrointestinal infections can have a detrimental effect on the body’s immune system. This is even more so for people tested HIV positive. Since bio yogurt improves overall health conditions, it was seen in a clinical study that probiotics can also prevent gastrointestinal infection in HIV-positive people and restore their gut barrier, and normalize gut functions. This, in turn, has a very positive impact on the overall immune system of a person. In fact, the CD4 count (the measure of immune function of people with HIV/AIDS) increases in people with HIV/AIDS when they have yogurt supplemented with lactobacillus rhamnosus on a daily basis.16\n6. Treats Yeast Infections In Women\nVaginitis and yeast infection of the vagina caused by the candida virus is a very common gynecological complaint among women of the reproductive age. Research shows that more women visit a gynae for treating this infection than for any other reason.17 One of the alternative treatments for chronic cases of yeast infection is eating yogurt. Clinical studies show that taking yogurt with Lactobacillus acidophilus – the probiotic strain – helps alleviate the infection and related symptoms like itchiness.18\nNot just that, the daily intake of yogurt also improves the cellular function in women. Yogurt actually helps in increasing the number of cytotoxic lymphocytes or killer cells that protect other cells from cancer, and various viral infections. This strengthens the overall immunity of the cells as well as the body.19\n7. Improves Skin And Hair\nIt is quite evident that the lactic acid bacteria in yogurt have many beneficial effects on our overall health. Since it helps clear our gut, and improve our digestion, the impact is quite evident on our skin and hair. Clean gut means clear, fresh-looking skin. When you are regular about eating yogurt, it also improves the follicular count on your hair. The new growth actually looks more lush and shiny. The probiotics in the yogurt are responsible for this.20\nIn a clinical test, it was seen that bio yogurt not only clears you from the inside but also shows its healthful effect on the outside. During the trial, it was seen that persistent constipation or irregular bowel movement led to bad skin conditions like acne, pigmentation and aggravated oiliness. So when the volunteers started a diet with yogurt on a daily basis, they got good results. The probiotic strain in the yogurt helped clear up the gut health and improve overall bowel movement. As a result, over 80 percent of the skin pigmentation was reduced, and moisture levels in the skin increased by 114 percent. Skin looked better and healthier.21\nNot just that, traditionally applying yogurt on the skin as a face mask is a very common beauty practice across cultures – the skin looks clear and feels more supple. We now have proof that the lactic acid bacteria in yogurt plays a major role in improving skin conditions. Those with very dry skin conditions like atopic dermatitis get softer, more hydrated skin with regular yogurt application as a mask. This is because the lactic acid bacteria helps in increasing the skin ceramide count which in turn reduces the dermatitis conditions.22\nIn fact, using yogurt as a face mask on a regular basis on any skin type is very beneficial. It reduces pigmentation and evens out patchy skin tone, restores skin elasticity and moisture balance of the skin by preventing transepidermal water loss. So your skin feels supple, looks brighter and well hydrated.23\nSnacking On Yogurt\nSo how should you add yogurt in your diet? It can be had as a drink, with fruits, or as a snack between two big meals. In fact, it was seen that eating yogurt as a snack reduces hunger and helps you feel full for longer. This way you needn’t worry about cravings. According to research, you should opt for high-protein yogurt like Greek yogurt as
it offers better benefits than low-protein ones.24\nReferences [ + ]\n1, 6. ↑ Weerathilake, W. A. D. V., D. M. D. Rasika, J. K. U. Ruwanmali, and M. A. D. D.
