Ear Infection

An ear infection is an infestation in the ear, caused by either bacteria or by virus. The adult ear infection and the inner ear infection are other names by which it is called. The scientific name is otitis media.

Ear Infection Causes

An ear infection may be caused by one or a combination of the following factors. Within the ear are tiny bones which help translate sound waves to the brain. The sound waves travel to these bones through the Eustachian tube, which in children is placed in more of a level position. When liquid is introduced to the ear through swimming or bathing, and if the liquid is not cleaned out by a swab, it may linger there and allow bacteria to fester. Though the Eustachian tube is more slanted in adults, similar infestation may occur if water is not cleared.

As I peruse the pages of various holiday issues of my favorite fitness/womens magazines I notice many articles about the benefits of practicing Yoga at this stressful time of year. At the risk of sounding like a cardio snob, if I have 30 minutes a day (if I’m lucky) and i have to get into a special outfit in about a month and a half. I am not spending that 30 minutes taking cleansing breaths and stretching.

Your back supports you. Backache is responsible for many a day taken off sick and much misery. Of course with any mechanical problem, helping that problem mechanically is important. For instance, if one of your vertebrae, or backbones, is out of place, it makes sense to get it back in place in order to prevent further damage.

Everyone probably knows at least one person who snores – it might be your bed partner, a parent, a grandfather, or maybe even an uncle. People will normally joke about it and ‘complain’ to others about being kept awake by the snorer the whole night, while they might even snore themselves and not know it! I had a granny who could really snore so loudly that you could hear it all over the house. I used to make fun of it until I realized that I also snore! And so does my wife! So if snoring is so common, how come the options to alleviate it are so unheard of?

While conventional arthritis treatments are extremely effective in controlling pain, they do present the possibility of devastating side-effects. Here are some natural treatments you might want to consider.

“This will only hurt a bit…” Urtica dioica is the stinging nettle plant. Descriptions of the use of the stinging nettle plant for arthritis dates back approximately 2,000 years to biblical times. Taken orally, products made from nettles may interfere with the body’s production of inflammation-causing chemicals specifically tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a). They may also enhance responses of the immune system. Chemicals in nettles are also thought to reduce the feeling of pain or interfere with the way that nerves send pain signals. All of these effects may reduce the pain and stiffness of arthritis and similar conditions. Another similar “treatment” is bee stings. Until recently, bee sting therapy was “pooh-poohed” by the medical establishment. It turns out they were wrong. Bee venom appears to have potent anti-inflammatory properties. In animal studies conducted last year, doctors in South Korea found that melittin, the principal peptide in bee venom, blocks the expression of inflammatory genes that can cause painful tissue swelling in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
