Is your child a victim of frequent Headaches? Do they wake from a sound sleep with a headache? Do they often complain of a headache? If you answered yes to any of those questions you may want to discover ways you help prevent Headaches in your child.

A child as young as ten or younger can and does have Headaches. They may be a mild headache that will only last a short time, or they may be more severe and last for a couple of days.

The pain can be moderate, or it can be severe. If someone in your immediate family often has headaches, your child may have inherited that trait.

Your child may also suffer from Tension or Stress headaches, or Migraines. They will have most of the symptoms that an adult with a headache will have. Only taking a nap or resting will not always help them.

Homeopathic remedy temporarily protects against Flu virus and germs - safe for all ages homeopathic alternative to the Flu vaccine

A stitch in time…

There are particular times throughout the year when falling victim to coughs, sniffles, sneezes, running noses, fevers, chills, Headaches and ‘stuffy’ heads is more likely. Similarly, people who travel on vacation or business may contract the Flu virus when they least expect it. And because germs are able to mutate – it makes it hard for our Immune System to keep up!

Most germs spread through the air but they are also spread by other means like hands, door handles, or even the faucets of public restrooms. The human body is designed to detect these ‘outsiders’ and the Immune System kicks into gear – trying desperately to restore balance.

Vitamin D in the News

by Warren Matthews of Xtend-Life

Lately Vitamin D has been in the news because of many studies extolling its virtues in helping prevent cancers and other health problems.

I therefore thought that it would be appropriate to remind you that to receive the benefits of Vitamin D it is not simply a matter of heading down to your local health food store and buying a bottle of Vitamin D tablets/capsules! Nor, should you sit back and think “I am OK because I drink milk which has been fortified with Vitamin D” because you won’t be!

Why?

Firstly, let’s consider the Vitamin D in milk (not that you should be drinking milk). Milk is fortified with a synthetic Vitamin D2 known as ‘ergocalciferol’. There is no evidence to support the benefits of this form of Vitamin D. Most if not all fortified foods use this form of synthetic D2.

Alcohol and Insomnia

Many people believe that a few drinks will help them to sleep better when in fact it will help a person fall asleep but it will not help to keep them asleep. Way too often those few nightcaps can cause a person to wake several times during the night and further lead to feeling sluggish, disorientated, and have a lack of concentration the next day.

Unfortunately, this can lead to a very unhealthy pattern. Contrary to what many might think alcohol and Insomnia do not mix at all. Alcohol causes the body to dehydrate which can make Insomnia even worse.

Alcohol is also a contributing factor in keeping people out of the deep sleep cycle which makes them feel even worse the next day. So this is how alcohol and Insomnia work, alcohol makes the body fall asleep very quickly while at the same time it is dehydrating your body too.

Although they are the most common type of Headaches, Tension Headaches are the least understood of all. Stress is believed to be the major cause of Tension or Tension type Headaches.

Most of the beliefs surrounding the cause are, however, based on speculating hypotheses that have little hard evidence. It is a fact however, that causative or consequent Stress can affect your overall health to a great extent.

Tension headaches are usually not the result of an underlying disease. However, they can be crippling enough to handicap an individual to a great extent. Chronic tension headache can potentially hamper your relationships, affect productivity at work and negatively influence the quality of your life.

This is the major reason why most of the people want quick relief and commonly resort to taking fast- acting analgesics.

Temporary relief of croup, barking cough in children

Homeopathic remedy temporarily relieves Croup and Barking Cough in babies and children

A helping hand for a cough

Young children (6 months to 3 years) often find themselves afflicted with a rather hoarse-sounding cough and a chesty noise when inhaling, also known as Croup or a Barking Cough. Many times a child may seem fine when going to bed – only to wake up later in the night with this type of cough and trouble breathing.

A child who is not breathing freely often becomes agitated and flustered – which often makes matters worse. Young infants and small children have much smaller airways than adults, and so any inflammation, swelling or irritation caused by a build up of mucus can cause the trachea and bronchial tubes to become blocked.

Smaller children suffering with this bronchial obstruction will usually also have a hoarse voice, decreased appetite and a Fever, which is usually low grade, but worth keeping an eye on.

Homeopathic remedy temporarily increases Iron Absorption to avoid Iron Deficiency - Natural Remedy to support Iron Absorption and normal hemoglobin levels

Feed your blood for Iron Absorption

Iron is an essential mineral and an important component of Proteins involved in oxygen transport and Metabolism in the body. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to the body’s tissues, and hemoglobin contains almost two-thirds of the iron level in your body.

On the whole, healthy children, adult men, and post-Menopausal women lose very little iron except through loss of blood, and thus have normal iron levels and normal hemoglobin levels. However, some women (due to monthly periods) can become deficient in iron.

Iron absorption refers to the amount of dietary iron that the body obtains from food. Healthy adults absorb about 15% of the iron in their diet, but actual absorption is influenced by the body’s iron stores, the type of iron in the diet, and by other dietary factors that either help or hinder iron absorption.
