healthy care

At 32 years of age, my hair unexpectedly started falling out by the handfuls. The hair loss began in August. By October, just two months later I was almost totally bald.

Other than having hairlessness, my physical health was brilliant. Since my medical tests all came back normal, my doctor advised me to get a good wig and get on with my life. My friends and family encouraged me to count my blessings rather than my shortcomings. They tried to convince me that I was still the same person on the inside, with or without hair. I didn’t buy it. But I did get the wig and I did get on with my life.

A new friend I met happen to be a hairdresser who dedicated in thin, fine hair. After confiding in her, she told me about the great results some of her clients had using aromatherapy. She armed me with books and information. I absorbed it all and kept learning more until I was ready to make my own scalp formula.

There were many essential oils to choose from. I especially liked
using peppermint oil. The tingling sensation it produced seemed to energize my scalp and my entire being. The scent of the oil perked me up so it was a great choice to use it the morning to get my day started.

At night I would experiment with more relaxing oils such as lemon, lavender, chamomile, cypress and carrot seed. I would often sleep with the oils on my scalp and wash them out in the morning. The drifting aroma seemed to lure me into a deep sleep, helping me to wake up refreshed and revitalized.

The essential oil formulas felt so healing and energizing on my scalp. It was as if I could “feel” them working! Within three months I began seeing and feeling soft new growth. Three months after that my entire scalp was filled in with new hair.

It’s been fifteen years since my hair loss incidence. Every so often I find the beginnings of new bald patches or I notice more hair falling out than usual.

As soon as I notice the hair loss I begin treating it with essential oil formulas. My hair responds quickly to the aromatherapy treatments. I’ve been able to stop the hair loss and start the re-growth before it becomes noticeable.

At first I really didn’t care how the essential oils worked. Just the fact that they did work was all I needed to know. But, because I became so fascinated with the effects and so fond of the aromas, I went on to formally study aromatherapy.

I think of essential oils as a “fertilizer for hair”. They increase circulation to the scalp. The increased blood supply nourishes the hair follicles. They increase oxygen supply, encourage cellular regeneration and remove toxins. They thoroughly cleanse the scalp, removing excess sebum, dead skin cells and environmental pollutants.

Essential oils need to be diluted with fixed oils. Jojoba and castor oil turned out to be my favorites, as even on their own they are healthy for hair and used to promote growth.

Choosing the essential oils to use in your formula requires some research and knowledge. Certain essential oils cannot be used under certain medical conditions such as high blood pressure, pregnancy etc.

Your formula will be more effective if you choose oils specifically for own condition rather than a generic hair loss formula. You can customize your formula to address your specific scalp condition, such as dry, oily, itchy, sensitive, etc. You can further customize your formula by choosing oils that blend into a scent that you enjoy.

Although you apply the formula to your scalp, the healing doesn’t stop there. Aromatherapy is known to produce an over-all feeling of physical, emotional and spiritual well-being that goes far beyond a better head of hair!

In order to reduce or at least control stress, it is vital to know and appreciate the causes of stress. Of course, there are many causes of stress and they are as diverse as the people who suffer from stress, but there are a few places to look first. And by learning about these cause of stress, you can figure out where stress is entering your life.

One of the most common, and most complained about, causes of stress is work. However, it is not only the day-to-day tasks and routine pressures of work that can lead to stress. In fact, the mere concern about keeping a job can be a source of stress. Unfortunately, the collective stress of both work itself and the possibility of losing it creates a sort of double-stress in which people feel they have to work even harder in order to keep their jobs, making the stress that much worse.

As well, for those who have not entered the working world yet, school can be a great source of stress. The constant pressure of schoolwork, friends, teachers, tests, quizzes, papers, and everything else can be enough to make anyone feel like they are in trapped in a vice. In addition, the deadlines are all immoveable, so students are constantly under time pressure. And, to make matters worse, there are often several deadlines overlapping each other, intensifying the demands on time. Then, once final exams arrive, there is a lot to re-learn and students need to spend so much time studying that they can barely sleep. Needless to say, losing sleep does not help people who are under stress. Thus, students need to manage stress just as much as people who work.

Another cause of stress is simple family life. Unfortunately, though we hope that our home lives can be sources of relief from daily stress, they can often be sources of stress all their own. For childen as well as parents and spouses, the home can often be its own source of pressure.

For parents, stress can often come from simply worrying about their children. After all, seeing a child grow up, make mistakes, go through school, go to college, play sports, and often learn things to hard way is enough to make a parent tear their hair out. Thus, despite the joy that children can bring, they can also be causes of stress and worry.

Unfortunately, parents can be causes of stress also. Though they often have their childrens’ best interests in mind, they can also put a lot of pressure onto their children, causing them to worry not only about school or life, but also how their parents will react when they hear about some new event, success, or error. It is as though there is no place to turn when things go wrong, creating extra stress. No, it is not easy being a parent, but it isn’t always easy being a child or a teenager either, since parents can often be causes of stress as much as sources of comfort from it.

On top of that, spouses can also be causes on stress. Let’s face it, husbands and wives often have expectations of their significant others and it is not always easy to live up to those expectations. As well, spouses often spend a lot of time avoiding certain arguments simply because they are trying to avoid stress. However, leaving tension in the air while not resolving it can be a cause of stress.

Money is also a major cause of stress, simply for the fact that there never seems to be enough of it. Thus, as the money keeps going out but it never seems to come in enough, stress just keeps mounting. Unfortunately, spouses, children and sometimes parents can often remind us of our shortfalls and they will often increase the stress.

Of course, that is to say nothing of the continual reminders from the mortgage or rent, car payments, credit cards and other bills. And, furthermore, it is rather difficult to be philosophical about money stress since attempting to put things into perspective only recalls thoughts about the money that always seems to be missing. Thus, money stress just keeps piling up higher and higher and there never seems to be a way out.

Though this is only a partial list of all the possible causes of stress, these are some of the most common sources. However, no matter where the problem is arising, stress will not make them better. Rather, stress will only make it harder for people to think about their problems and try to solve them. Thus, in order to solve the problems that lead to stress, the best place to start is by managing the stress, then working to solve the problems with a clear and uncluttered mind.

The cost of providing employees with health insurance reporting continues to add to at a double-digit rate. We’ve read a lot about cost drivers in health care – excessive hospital charges, rising instruction drug costs, expenses associated with developing new technologies and treatments, an aging populace and litigation. development these factors is an environment in which the demand for health care seems to be increasing.

For the most part, there is little employer can do to control what is driving health care costs out of their arrive at. Health profit companies can and do negotiate discount, and while those help, the fundamental costs continue to skyrocket. The increase created by these cost drivers flow through the health benefits companies and eventually trickle down to employers in the form of higher health insurance premiums.

In this soft economy, declining income is putting a squeeze on company expenses. It is likely that you will experience a 15 percent to 20 percent add to in your group health insurance when a renewal form lands on your desk.

Can you raise the cost of your company’s product or service as quickly as your health insurance premiums are increasing?
Probably not. However, there are steps you can take to gain some control over your health care costs.

Finding a solution

Employers can exercise some control over their costs by finding a health benefits company that provides the “best” value for their company’s premium dollars. The way in which you “shop” a health plan can impact the price. I’ll use an analogy. Your travel agent has a great deal for you – air, car, hotel and meals included. You tell your agent to book it.

Coincidently, your neighbors just booked that same trip for $1,000 less through their travel agent. One agent shopped for the best price, the other agent arranged the trip through his or her vendor of choice. Whether it’s a family vacation, buying a car or choosing a health benefits plan, how you shop can impact your cost. Make sure your insurance agent doesn’t “arrange” your health plan for you. How many providers are enough? The more participating providers a health plan has, the more you’re likely to pay in premiums. If you are considering a health plan that doesn’t include a few desired physicians, request that the carrier add them to its network.

Physicians participate in many different health plans and are usually willing to participate in one more. Don’t get caught in the trap of paying 10 percent to 15 percent more for your health insurance premiums because one or two doctors are notparticipating in the plan. It’s reasonable that an employee can find another physician out of the thousands on the plan.

The power of marketing

Living in the United States affords us exceptional opportunities and choices. Along with that privilege comes a barrage of communications designed to influence our decision-making. What we read in the papers, see on television, hear on the radio, see flashed across a billboard, get stuffed in our mailboxes or pops up on the Internet is designed to predispose us to a company or its product.

Marketing can be an effective tool, and depending on how much is spent, can be quite influential. What marketing cannot do, however, no matter how much is spent, is replace what it takes to come up with an affordable health benefits solution that works for you. Be sure to look for a health benefits company that is flexible, listens and is willing to roll up its sleeves to provide you with a package of health benefits that you can afford.

There are many different meditation techniques for many different situations, but one of most tangible benefits of meditation is using that inner strength to help guide us in finding answers to problems and making decisions.

If there are alternatives to be considered and a decision to be made, you have an inner adviser who can be helpful. We all have a higher self, made up of a conscience and an ideal self towards which we strive. The problem is that it is not always possible to get in touch with this important resource while we are going about our daily business or chores, but when in meditation, in that inner stillness, those inner resources become available.

Some may wish to imagine sitting in front of a wise old man or woman – this may be an image of someone we have known in our life, or a completely imaginary being.

Some may choose an animal or a bird, such as an owl, as the focus of attention.

Having imagined this inner adviser in whichever way suits you, now imagine being with that adviser and asking a simple question about your problem, then wait . . . You may get a very real insight straight away, or it may be that your adviser uses a present or gives you a scene to think about, or may even open up a possibility not yet considered.

At first the answer may seem obscure, but at some later point the meaning will become obvious to you.

We all have an inner adviser, a source of wisdom, formed perhaps before birth, but constantly being brought up to date by our day-to-day experience of the world around us, and our own reactions to it. It is a valuable resource, and with the help of meditation you can use it to give you the confidence to make decisions, and move forward into your future.
