Fish Oil Benefits And Side Effects

Lately, I have been feeling numbness and pain in my whole left arm from the shoulder blades down to the tips of my fingers.

I have used painkillers and menthol ointments to relieve the pain and to loosen up the muscles, but the pins and needles, the pain, the numbness... it did not go away for long.

I knew it's time for a more drastic solution. Massages are often used for rest and relaxation, but there are other types of massages that are therapeutic. Reflexology is one of them.

I had a nice, hard hand reflex at Nuat Thai the other night. The result has been really good. The pain went away and the numbness from my back to my forearm lessened somewhat, but I still feel pain in the joints of my left hand.

To help the healing, I need to take some vitamin supplements. Vitamins C and E are important, but there are alternative sources that help organically. These are made of natural ingredients that our bodies can absorb safely.

The benefits of cod liver oil or of eating fish has hidden wonders. If you do not like dealing with smelly fingers after, then try taking fish oil capsules each day.

The capsules are filled with cod liver oil and krill oil that can improve heart function, ease arthritic pain, reduce depression, improve ADD/ADHD, regulate blood pressure, and lower cholesterol levels. The fish oil can generally improve brain function and fight off certain types of cancer.

However, just like anything else in this world, too much of anything is bad for you. Fish oil is no different. Because it lowers blood pressure and thins the blood, it is not good for those with low blood pressure, anemia or diabetes. It also has gastrointestinal side effects because it is oil.

Some people get allergic reactions to cod liver oil or krill oil because they come from fishes or crustaceans, in the case of krill oil. This is not a good choice for those allergic to seafood.

Skin Care Benefits of Using Sulfur Soap

By
A sample of sulfur (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Despite its acrid smell, a bar of sulfur soap brings many health benefits to your skin through its antiseptic, anti-fungal and antibacterial qualities. In olden times, individuals had to take a dip in sulfur-rich hot springs located at a distance from an active volcano. Spas often appeared around these areas to provide patrons privacy and comfort while they visited the pools of heated water and sulfur. Many people frequented these places because the hot water therapy soothed their aching muscles and the sulfur healed their skin problems, such as acne vulgaris, whiteheads, blackheads, eczema, rosacea, scabies, and seborrheic dermatitis. Now, sulfur's cleansing properties are packaged neatly in soap bars. The ten percent sulfur content in the soap has enough potency to effectively produce the same effective results as dipping your whole body in a pool of sulfur-rich hot water. Like in the ancient times, use sulfur soaps to reme

How Do You Treat Scalp Acne and Scalp Dermatitis?

By
A case of Seborrhoeic Dermatitis on the back of the head (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) If you suffer from pimples on the scalp, then it's important to find a good scalp acne treatment. They're ugly, painful, and irritating. We can't see them ourselves so we pick them often by scratching our scalp before knowing they're there. Scalp wounds tend to bleed and this can make the spots visible, especially if your hair is thinning, fine or very short. Most acne on the scalp has the same cause as acne on the face, that is, overproduction of sebum leading to blockages of hair follicles, which often become infected. Inflammation can be caused by a condition called seborrheic dermatitis , and this, together with oily skin, is what you have to go along with scalp acne. What happens is the scalp will be red and itchy and the skin will flake off as dandruff. Associated with the condition of seborrheic dermatitis and more serious cases is yeast and it's someti

A brief vacation

By
I have just got back from UP Diliman for a week of respite. I had training for trainers at UP SoLaIR (School of Labor and Industrial Relations). It was a working vacation. At least I had time to slow down and not think of work for a few days. It was good! Really felt good to be taken cared of by the University Hotel staff.
