Holistic help for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Epstein Bar

11:58 AM Postwriter

I'm so tired I don't feel rested after I've slept 8 hours or even 12 hours. I'm falling asleep during the day. I have no energy, I ache, my thoughts are unclear, I have a headache.. a sore throat. Does any of this sound familiar? It's possible you are suffering for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Epstein Bar aka Mono. All of these could trigger CFS. It has been difficult for doctors to pinpoint the cause of CFS but the main component that remains is that an auto immune disorder is present. Partner that with the fact that it is difficult for others to have sympathy for you when you are feeling...

Sleep is not overrated

1:51 PM Postwriter

I had spent much of my life saying that sleep was overrated, and how wrong was I? The truth is that sleep is when your body gets the opportunity to heal itself. After battling the physical, mental and environmental issues all day your body needs this chance to help you rest and restore. I always thought that I would be missing out on something, or if I just took one more hour to finish that project it could actually help me out the next day when really I was only making it harder on myself in the long run. Sleep is just as important as nutrition and exercise, and if you don't give your body enough of it then you are actually...

Got a headache? Peppermint oil to the rescue....

4:56 PM Postwriter

Peppermint oil can help your headache and many other issues... I never thought a little peppermint oil could be helpful but it turns out that it not only can help relieve a headache it's also great for many other health issues. The botanical name of peppermint is mentha piperita. Extracted from the herb by steam distillation, the oil of peppermint is clear with a slight tinge of yellow. Its main constituent is menthol, which imparts the famous heady, minty aroma and the remarkable “cooling sensation,” when tasted or touched. Peppermint oil contains vitamins A and C, omega-3 fatty acids, minerals, potassium, manganese, iron,...

Beating the headache monster

9:57 AM Postwriter

For years I have battled migraines, sinus headaches, tension headaches...to me they are all the same... and I have affectionately labeled the pain the headache monster. I don't like it when I get one, they bring pain and who wants pain. I've spent alot of time trying to identify what causes them for me and honestly have found that it can be as simple as the air I breathe. I have learned over time how to keep them to a minimum by reducing my interaction with things I have found trigger them. Below is a list of what I have identified to be triggers and how I am managing them now. Hopefully by sharing this list I can help...
