[AlternativeAnswers] Tips for Caregivers

 

Good Morning!

Tips for Caregivers

Whether you are in the health care profession or taking care of a loved one or friend, being a caregiver is a gift. It is a great opportunity to put someone else's needs before yours. We all need help at one time or another in our lives. We may also need to help others when the situation calls for our assistance.

Caregiver burnout is a common problem. It is difficult to be around someone who is in pain or has a debilitating situation often because we love them so and find it difficult to see them like this. Also, when someone is ill, in pain or not well, their is a certain energy about them that is not the norm.

Because of this energy deficit or imbalance, it can be a real challenge to be around them for periods of time.

The National Alliance for Caregivers make these suggestions:

1. Find someone you can talk to and discuss your feelings. All feelings are legitimate, even those that upset you (anger sadness,guilt).
2. Set realistic goals. Balancing work, family, and time for yourself is difficult. Determine your priorities, and turn to other people for help with some tasks.
3.Make time for yourself, even if it's just an hour or two. Go to a movie, have lunch with a friend, or just sit and read a book.

Preventing Burnout

Caring for another person, especially over a long period of time, can be physically and emotionally draining. You may find yourself feeling listless, forced to do routine tasks, and wishing to be someplace else. If this sounds familiar, you are a candidate for caregiver burnout.

1. Joining a caregiver support group: Check the newspaper or local library to locate one in your area. Sharing experiences with others can help you manage stress, locate resources, and reduce feelings of isolation.

2. Talking to a professional: The clergy, social workers, psychologists, and nurses are often trained to provide counseling on caregiving issues. Help may also be available through your employee assistance program.

3. Taking advantage of respite care: Respite care is a service that provides temporary care for an older person. Respite care may mean help with a specific task or having health care providers care for your relative at home or in a extended care facility while you go on vacation.

4. Recognize signs of stress: Stress can take its toll on you in many ways. Be aware of changes in your thinking, in your physical health and in your behavior.

Signs of Stress

Stress related symptoms can include a feeling that something undesirable is about to happen, dry mouth, swallowing difficulty, hoarseness, rapid breathing and heart palpitations, twitching or trembling, muscle tension, headaches, backaches sweating, difficulty in concentrating, dizziness or faintness. Nausea, diarrhea, weight loss, sleeplessness, irritability, fatigue, nightmares, memory problems, and sexual impotence.

The single most important point you can make about stress is that in most cases it's not what's out there that's the problem, it's how you react to it. How you react is determined by how you perceive a particular stress.

White Light Protection Exercise

Attracting and retaining people's energies as a caregiver is a very common occurrence. In a metaphysical sense, the best way to protect yourself from negative energy is with White Light.

Sit, or lay on the floor and close your eyes. Imagine White Light warming and engulfing first, your Crown Chakra and bathing your eyes in light. Let the White Light warm your mind and relax and release all thoughts.......

Move the White Light down the Chakra centers and let it bath each one and allow the White Light to massage each Chakra Point. Finish at the Root Chakra.

Then allow the White Light to engulf your entire being. This protects your aura from negative energies and allows your "psychic defense" to come into play.

This can be done at any time, in any place. Just close your eyes and visualize this White Light Protector.

Color Therapy is very helpful: http://www.peacefulmind.com/color_therapy.htm

As well as Meditation (the visualizations with candles would be especially good): http://www.peacefulmind.com/meditation.htm
Quartz Crystal held during the White Light Protector really enhances the strength of the Aura.
Remember: Energy follows Thought.
Cleanse with the positive thought or affirmation and Energy follows it.

Essential Oils For Your Yoga Practice

Essential oils are the pure essence of plants, extracted for their healing, cleansing and magical properties.

Re: [AlternativeAnswers] vinegar for GERD

 

This is easy to treat with Traditional Chinese Medicine.
For a do-it-yourself approach:
Get peppermint essential oil. Any cold or cooling oil will do, but
peppermint is the best. Put it on the following points. Google them to
find the locations.
Pericardium 6, Large Intestine 4 and 11. San Jaio 5. Ren 17 and 12.
Stomach 25, 36 and 44. Especially Stomach 44. Gall Bladder 34. Liver
3 if there are emotional issues.
Avoid greasy, spicy, phlegmy foods.

Good Morning!

Recipe: Miso Soup - Cure for the Common Cold?

Did you know that Miso Soup with Scallions is actually an ancient Chinese herbal remedy for colds?

So, the next time you feel a cold coming on, be sure to have your miso!

I would like to say a few words on the topic. I have been suffering from GERD for a long time, so I know a few things from first hand experience. General information does not apply to everyone and each person had to find what is good and what is bad for themselves.
This is what I found out on my own:
- homeopathy helps. I think that I was able to get rid of this ailment mostly due to homeopathy;
- large intake of water only increases the occurance of vomiting;
- do not eat citrus fruits, or vinegar, or fatty foods;
- don't eat spicy foods;
- for me bananas are not a good remedy when I feel bad;
- you have to watch very closely how you combine your foods. For instance I discovered that if I ate bread and drank coffee at the same meal, in exactly 20 minutes I felt really bad. This is why I say that it is best to separate foods. Eat only one kind of food at a meal and let a couple of hours before the next food intake. It is a long and difficult process but the result pays the effort. Eat several smaller meals better than fewer large meals.
Hope this helps.
Lucia

Take banana and cauliflower. Cold milk helps. Can add few yoga to strengthen internal organs. Also some exercise.
All the above are natural and cause no side effects.

Channing,

I am so sorry you are having to endure this nightmare. I too was diagnosed
with GERD and LPR. All the traditional and OTC pharmaceuticals were
prescribed but I did not choose to go that route.  Here is what I did:

1.      Eat no later than five hours before bedtime.

2.     No tomatoes, citrus fruits or acidic foods of any type.

3.     I do not eat highly spiced foods.

4.     I eat my largest meal in the middle of the day.

5.     I take a digestive enzyme before all meals and HTC after eating.

Cynthia

Re: [AlternativeAnswers] Re: Itchy skin

 

Recently I had an unknown rash on my face that weeped, itched, got very
miserable and painful at the worst. I tried everything and then someone
suggested castor oil. I used the hexane free castor oil many times during the
day and also night. It cleared it up better than anything else I'd tried. I
went to an herbalist and he said that was the best choice. Right now I've only
got very little detection of it at all. I have no idea what caused it, maybe a
detox of some sort, since I do things for detoxing occasionally.

He gets it cleared up with prescription steroid ointment or antihistime prescrition also is using antibiodic pills and ointment. It starts out as a rash with small red bumps, scabs over (yes he scratches it at night in his sleep), then breaks open and weeps when he uses lotions or ointments. He has tried many alternative remedies...oil of oregano, apple cider vinegar, b-vit., fish oil many other things. But the rash and itching always comes back. Does anyone have a suggestion to help the itching? thanks
