Acupuncture helps heart patients
"Acupuncture helps to calm the nerves. Acupuncture can improve the prospects of
people with severe heart failure, research has shown. Researchers found the
ancient Chinese practice has the potential to dramatically reduce the pressure on the
heart. This is because it can reduce activity in the sympathetic nervous system,
which regulates involuntary movements such as heartbeat and blood pressure.
Over-activation of sympathetic nerves is common in heart failure
patients. It damages their long-term prospects because it forces the weakened heart to
work harder, as the blood has to be forced through blood vessels that are
constricted by the nervous activity."

World Diabetes Day Has People Pondering Their Risk
" This World Diabetes Day, answer a question posed directly to you: how high is your
risk of developing the disease? Do you eat right and exercise? If you don't,
getting on the right track may be as intimidating as being asked to scale Mount Everest.
But there is growing evidence that even the most simple lifestyle changes can dramatically
reduce the risk of certain diseases, and diabetes is at the top of the list. A soon-to-be
published, national study found that people at high risk for
type 2 diabetes can cut that risk in half by adopting simple lifestyle changes
like losing just a few pounds and taking a brisk walk each day. The risk reduction was
almost twice that experienced by people taking blood-sugar-lowering medications."

Is organic food really better for your health?
"Fruit and vegetables
Last year the Food
Standards Agency said there was not enough information available to prove that organic
produce is nutritionally better for you. But the Soil Association, the UK's largest
organic organisation, says scientific evidence contradicts this view."

*** SHORT HEALTH/SAFETY TIPS FOR THE WEEK ***
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMON COLD -"Believe it or not, something as simple as sleeping on time could be
your greatest anti-cold weapon! Ayurveda, the ancient Indian science of healing, has
an interesting theory on disease. It believes that all disease happens because the
elements that make up our body go out of balance. The common cold, for instance, strikes
when the body's digestive fire or "agni" is dampened. What causes that? Well,
the cold weather itself! Yes, the temperature outside dips, and with it, your
immunity." (To read the complete article entitled: Turning up the heat on
Common Cold by Shubhra Krishan, go to)
http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/Krishan2.html
DEPRESSION - "Maybe you are feeling blue, down in the dumps, nothing seems to be
going right and everything is an effort. Most of us at some time go through a period of
feeling "depressed". This type of depression is often termed reactive and is
generally brought on by difficult life circumstances - stress, bereavement,
unemployment, over-work, physical illness, separation/divorce and even supposedly happy
events such as the birth of a baby or a move to a new home."
(To read the complete article entitled: Fighting Depression - It's the little
things that make a difference. by Jeanne Johnson, go to)
http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/Johnson6.html
PMS - "Factors that can exacerbate the hormone imbalance include low blood sugar
levels (hypoglycaemia - which accounts for our carbohydrate and sugar cravings at around
the time of menstruation as the body tries to compensate); excessive oestrogen or too
little progesterone from the diet; and high stress levels which can also interfere with
the regulating hormones in the pituitary. Orthodox medication to help severe PMS is a low
dose progesterone pill but is not without side effects. However, for many, PMS is not bad
enough to seek treatment from the Doctor, but can be bad enough to cause a nuisance and
affect relationships at home and at work."

*** BOOK REVIEW New Encyclopedia of Herbs & Their Uses
by Deni Bown, Deni Brown ***
The essential guide for all herb garden enthusiasts.
The Herb Society of America's New Encyclopedia of Herbs & Their Uses is the most
comprehensive illustrated encyclopedia of herbs yet produced. With a fresh, new A-Z format
for easy reference, it lists the culinary and medicinal properties of each herb alongside
all the information you need to cultivate herbs in your own garden.
A fresh look at herbs. The HSA New Encyclopedia of Herbs & Their Uses responds to the
widespread interest in herbs today and the ways in which they have been used since ancient
times. This comprehensive reference work
supplies a wealth of information on herbs grown and used all over the world, for
gardeners, herbalists, and cooks alike.
Quick identification guide. The extensive A-Z of color photographs provides a unique
identification guide. In addition to every species familiar to gardeners, it also includes
a number of rarely seen examples from remote corners of the globe. Each photograph is
accompanied by a detailed botanical description of the plant's genus and species, its
growth habit, size, hardiness, and flowering period. Symbols show the plant's hardiness,
the part of the plant that is used, and for what purpose.
An illuminating history. The general section gives detailed information on uses of each
herb, from domestic applications in cooking, beauty, and medicine to commercial processing
in the perfume and food industries. The traditional role of herbs in such varied cultures
as Chinese, Ayurvedic, and Native American medicine is also explored.
Practical tips for cultivation. Garden designs and planting plans, illustrated with
photographs and artworks created especially for this book, gives the gardener a wealth of
ideas for planting and growing herbs, which can be adapted for both a smaller plot and a
traditional herb garden on the grand scale.
