Acid reflux is a simple condition to heal by the use of herbs. It is best to treat acid reflux before it becomes an habitual and chronic problem as it can develop into an Hiatal Hernia condition. In adults, acid reflux tendencies may be exacerbated by particular drinks such as Coke and Coffee or Apple and Orange Juice in excess and by acid forming foods such as too much sugar and white flour in the diet. You should make an effort to reduce these aggravating substances permanen...
The adrenal glands sit on top of each kidney and consist of an outer cortex and an inner medulla. Of the 50 or so hormones the adrenals make, only cortisone and adrenaline are recognized by most people. Some of these hormones must be produced to preserve life, while others help resist stress. Other hormones from the adrenals control normal energy output (along with the thyroid) and govern the breakdown of stored energy into quick energy sources. The adrenals control the body's potassium/sodiu...
Diabetes is growing at an alarming rate and carries with it long term serious problems with eyes, kidneys, nerves and blood vessels. We all know about the Pancreas because we know it is involved in Diabetes and that it is somehow responsible for managing blood sugar through producing a substance called insulin. Hormonal and nervous system messages are being exchanged between each system of the body and the individual members of each system constantly, all aimed at tuning the e...

Blushing is a common and embarrassing problem for many people. Blushing can be a precursor to Rosacea. Rosacea often begins with easy blushing and flushing of the facial skin. Eventually, redness will persist around the nose area, extending to the rest of the face. The latest on rosacea is that it can be triggered by a diminshed amount of hydrochloric acid in the stomach as well as fewer pancreatic enzymes , both essential for digestion. You could find a good "digestaid" such...
Bursitis is the inflammation of a bursa (a flat sac of synovial fliud that allows normal movement of joints and muscles and reduces friction). This occurs at major joints such as shoulders , elbows, hips and knees. It can be caused by chronic over use, injury, gout, arthritis or infections. Bursitis causes pain and limits movement. My recommendations are: Firstly, the athletes oil seen on the site below will definitely bring relief....
There are many factors to consider when addressing Candida. The Candida yeast organism is normally kept in check by the human immune system. But sometimes, particularly when the immune system is compromised it will multiply rapidly and overwhelm our systems leading to a variety of unpleasant symptoms - collectively known as Candidiasis or yeast infection. Candida is opportunistic. That is, it takes over when mechanisms that usually keep it in check are temporarily weakened....
Candida is really an expression of an out of balance gut flora. Often more common in those who attempt to digest their stresses rather than express and clear them from their systems. In my experience around 40% of my patients will rather process their stress by upsetting aspects of their own digestive system 'in order to keep the peace' by snacking on high sugar 'comfort foods' for example rather than deal with the stresses outwardly. Maybe we all need to become more aware of our habi...
