Does hormone replacement therapy for your menopause make your blood run cold? Many women are faced with the potential risks associated with HRT. First, let's take a quick look at the three stages of menopause.

Menopause begins in your early 40s as your ovaries gradually produce less and less of the hormone estrogen. Your periods become erratic sometimes skipping a month or alternating between light and heavy.

The next period of time is the transitioning to actual menopause. During this time you may continue to have erratic periods and the fun stuff begins to settle in for a long visit. Yes, fun stuff like hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood swings and insomnia are some of the symptoms.

The final and actual onset of menopause usually occurs in your early 50s and is represented by the absence of your period for a full 12 months. It's those in between years that can wreak havoc in your life.

Are there natural alternatives for chemical HRT? The good news is yes! It's a sad fact that less than two percent of doctors even mention alternative therapies. Here are just a few of the many natural alternatives:

Try adjusting your diet to include vegetables and fish that are high in Omega-3 as they contain nutrients that can help your body deal with menopause naturally. Conversely, there are foods that can make your menopausal symptoms worse. Caffeine, sugar, fatty dairy products, salt, alcohol and saturated oils can aggravate the symptoms.

Be sure and take a daily multivitamin making certain that the vitamin contains 100% of the daily allowance for nutrients. Just be aware that vitamins are no substitute for following a healthy diet.

If menopause causes mood swings, it only makes sense that it's possible to experience extreme responses for stress. Try using deep breathing techniques, meditation or some other methods of relaxation that works for you and practice the technique for 10 to 20 minutes per day. You will be left feeling calmer, more able to cope and more in control.

Exercising regularly can also help alleviate menopausal symptoms. Scheduling at least 30 minutes of exercise three times a week will relieve hot flashes. You will be able to think more clearly and reduce your risk of osteoporosis and heart disease.

Some women have found relief through yoga and acupressure. Both are mainstays of practitioners of eastern medicine.

Last, but not least, we come to herbal treatments. Beans and certain other plants have a mild estrogenic activity in their makeup thanks to "phytoestrogens." These are compounds that include isoflavins, lignans, phytoseterols and saponins. In additional to helping your body through menopause, animal experiments show they are significantly effective in preventing tumors of the breast tissue.

Without sending you off for a medical dictionary to understand the compounds listed above, here are some of the foods and herbs that contain healthy compounds: Soy, black cohosh, licorice, alfalfa, chasteberry, Chinese angelica, red clover, strawberry, celery stalks, dates, elder, false unicorn root, fennel, Honduran sarsaparilla, lady's slipper, liferoot, Mexican wild yams, passion flower, pomegranates and sassafras.

The foods, of course, are available from your local grocery. Visit your local health food store where you should be able to find the herbs and methods to include them in your daily diet.

The stress of getting our hectic routine takes its toll on you. Any outlet is a welcome relief- a TV Program, a walk or even food! When we are stressed our craving for food increases as food helps to deal with anxiety. But a time comes when these cravings rule our life and the result unwanted weight! A controlled diet can work well in such a case but your will power gives way. You need to constantly make an effort to maintain and lose weight. That's difficult isn't it?

What if you find a support that works on its own and minimizes your efforts? That's right! Adipex is a diet pill that helps to regulate your eating habits so that you lose weight quickly. It is a powerful appetite suppressant that works on your nervous system and minimizes your uncontrolled affinity to food.

Adipex causes certain chemicals in the hypothalamus gland in your brain to increase in number. These chemicals are responsible for controlling your appetite. Thus, your appetite is taken care of and your weight loss journey becomes a smooth ride.

Adipex is an FDA approved weight loss drug. It should be consumed according to your doctor's prescription only. The drug may have some side effects like insomnia, nervousness, dry mouth, diarrhea etc. but these merely suggest that your body is getting used to the pill and they disappear in a few days.

Adipex diet pills are very cheap. You can buy Adipex in a few seconds the online way. Along with saving time, buying the drug online also saves you the embarrassment of asking your doctor for a diet pill.

While obesity is spreading its tentacles across the world, various diet pill manufacturers are claiming to cure the menace in the most effective manner. But Adipex is one of the best drugs available to get rid of the flab.

Insomnia is something I have had for years - but they went away because I was so tired for the first weeks of pregnancy. Now that I am 13 weeks I have the insomnia back so I understand. Honestly, I have never been able to deal with it effectively other than Ambien - but I'm not taking that now. I try not to freak when I get insomnia because it only makes it worse - I just let myself stay up and do things that I would have done during the day but didn't get finished.

I'm sorry, hang in there. Sometimes I think pregnancy insomnia is trying to get women ready for newborn insomnia!

Organic health products are growing more popular due to the public's views on choosing items that are all-natural and considered more beneficial for the body. There is an increase of stores selling more organic health products - some devoting an entire aisle to the items. There is also an increase in the number of health food stores selling an assortment of organic health products.

When shopping for an organic health product, you should know that there is a variety of functions that each item possesses. Some products cleanse the body's systems, and other items provide nourishment and energy.

When reading a label, some of the key phrases to look for include: 100% Absorbable; 100% Organic and Natural; 100% Non Toxic; 100% Whole Foods; as well as 100% Raw and Active.

Today, the Earth is polluted with many things that can affect the health and well-being of an individual. As if dealing with the deteriorating ozone layer, UV rays and smog isn't enough, there are other contaminants that can cause an upset in the balance of one's body.

There are numerous toxins, pesticides, drugs, and other poisons in the world that enter the body and wreak havoc. There are reports that the human body can harbor at least 700 contaminants.

This calls for the elimination or cleansing of these toxins. There are many organic health products that can assist in this goal, including cleansing remedies for the colon, liver, gall bladder, kidney, and blood.

For example, an organic health product to consider is hot cayenne extract, which can unblock the waste material that prevents efficient blood flow.

Vitamins and minerals are a popular form of organic health products sold in stores, as well as over the Internet. For example, there is a product called Living Calcium, prepared from sea vegetables and other green foods - considered one of nature's best calcium sources.

When you are battling an upset stomach or bloating, taking capsules filled with 100% plant-based digestive enzymes, can easily correct the problem.

The healing properties of some of these organic health products are amazing. There are items that are 100% organic that can strengthen skin, connective tissue, bones, teeth, nails, as well as hair.

Organic health products also offer help when a consumer is in need of relief from nervous tension and insomnia.

Hormonal imbalances in both males and females can also benefit from the use of an organic health product. Menopause, impotence, hot flushes, and PMS are just some of the issues that these products can deal with.

The list goes on and on, when referring to the advantages of choosing an organic health product. This includes pain relief caused by muscle tension and cramps, as well as effective measures taken against fevers, colic, congestion, and the common cold.

Did you know what "Foot Spa" or "Ashiyu" in Japanese is? Just soak your feet in a shallow hot spring. If your feet become warm, then your whole body will feel warm, too. You will be relaxed just like you are taking a bath in a hot spring.

Foot Spa was originated and translated from a Japanese legend occurred about 1,600 years ago. It was narrated by a group of sickly people and monks who made pilgrimage. One evening, in a deep mountain, the group looked around to find a place to rest their exhausted body. They saw a hot spring streaming out of the rock where they decided to make their shanty for the night. Before going to sleep, they placed their feet to the hot stream to relieve their fatigue. When they woke up the next morning, they noticed that they felt healthier than ever before. The group completed their journey of pilgrimage, and they were informed by their physicians that their illnesses were gone.

This occurrence of miraculous healing power spread around from villages to villages. Thousands of people followed the same route of pilgrimage, and some doctors and renowned physicians found that foot spa has something to do with healing.

Modern Foot Spa

Today, we know the healing power of foot spa with different kinds of mineral contents in hot springs. Or with modern foot spa equipped with electronics device such as an ion producer and adding herbs in it, are sold.

However, none of Japanese manufacturers claim that it can do detoxification through feet. They just claim that it can help in rejuvenating your health, removing fatigue and other stress-oriented illnesses (e.g. neuralgia, rheumatism, lumbago, poor blood circulation, hemorrhoids, fatigue, dry skin, bruise, frostbite, chapped hand, miliaria (heat rash), allergies, pimples, migraine, insomnia, headaches, sinusitis, stiff neck and shoulders, sport injuries).

The recommended temperature is 40-42 °C, and time duration of about 10-25 minutes per treatment. You can do it many times as you desire.

The Truth on Foot Detox

Is foot detox really true? Actually, there is no definite medical proof about foot detox. Our own research also indicates either "Yes" or "No". Whatever the results of our researches, it is true that foot detox with minerals or herbs or electrodes added, will help in relieving fatigue and stress, and energize the body system, leading you to good health.

Also, our own research indicated that foot detox does not clean your body's wastes or toxic wastes as others claim. The public may be swayed by the water "miraculously" turning brown or black in color. However, it's proven that the changes in color are caused basically by the "electrolysis" of water.

And most of them claim that foot detox machines:

1. Enhance body detoxification - UNCERTAIN
2. Deactivate viruses, bacteria, yeast, and fungus - UNCERTAIN.
3. Reduce pain - YES (muscle or lymph-oriented pain only)
4. Purify the blood and lymph - NO (it helps in circulating them)
5. Stimulate the immune system - NO
6. Promote weight loss - YES and NO
7. Relieve tension - YES
8. Reduce inflammation - Depends on the sickness
9. Toxic matters and toxic fats can be detoxicated - NO
10. Improve oxygen levels in the body - YES and NO
11. Balances negative ions in the body - NO
12. Liver, kidney and parasite cleaning - NO
13. Removes wrinkles, acne and other skin problems - YES and NO

To make foot spa more effective, placing natural herbs or additives you probably have in your kitchen can help a lot. These herbs and additives help you prevent getting hundreds of illnesses, too:

1. Leaves of pine tree - boil about 5 minutes
2. Green tea
3. Dried skin of citrus fruits
4. Grinded garlic, ginger, and hot pepper
5. Bamboo leaves
6. Dried radish or carrot leaves
7. Corn silk or maize
8. Citrus skin

There are hundreds of additives known since hundreds of years ago in Japan. However, the above noted are the well-known additives for general use. All of them are good for treating skin allergies, dry and oily skin, fatigue, stress, insomnia, asthma, headache, rheumatism, arthritis, common cold and many others according to ancient books.

Now, you understand that foot spa is good in revitalizing or rejuvenating your health especially when herbs or some medicinal properties are added to the water.

If you are traveling to several hot springs, it contains minerals which are usually specified in the guidebooks of travel agents.

History tells its effectiveness. Why don't you try it? Oh, it is more recommendable to use wooden pail rather than metallic or plastic ones. According to the wisdom of our ancestors, "wooden pail" has the power to heal your sickness.

Foot Reflexology

We have other information that "foot reflexology", an ancient natural therapy which utilizes energy zones on the feet, can provide relief for variety of illnesses as well as energize the body system. According to a Chinese acupuncture theory, there are reflex areas in the feet which correspond to all parts of the body and these areas are arranged in such a way to form a map of the body.

Foot reflexologies such as acupuncture and moxibustion have been practiced since 4,500 years ago in China, Egypt, Korea, and Japan. Now it became very popular in many parts of the world including Europe and USA.

Will they insist on treating my mood problems or will I be able to concentrate on just helping me sleep (I'm sure my mood would be alright if only I could SLEEP)?

I haven't had a full night's sleep in months. I just want some relief.
I tried over the counter sleeping pills with diphenhydramine. They did absolutely nothing for me until, in absolute desperation, I took four times the recommended dose. I slept a few hours, then spent a few hours completely dazed and headachey and unable to move - NOT a good plan.

I don't want to rely on alcohol because, like I said, I have mood problems, and alcohol is a depressant.
I've tried hot drinks, baths, relaxing music, not exercising or eating before bed, putting lavender oil on my pillow, getting out of bed if I can't sleep, doing nothing in my bed apart from (trying to) sleep. All of these things I have been trying for months.

I saw a psychiatrist, I was diagnosed with cyclothymia, they said it was 'developing bipolar', but none of the medication or the counselling ever worked.

Insomnia causes mood problems, and I think that that's what this is. I can't sleep so my mood's all over the place.

You can probably tell that I'm kind of desperate.
When my sleep problems started, I cut out coffee. I don't drink much tea. I rarely drink coke or eat chocolate.

Me too. They put me on Cymbalta(moodiness) which is great for me. And ambien for sleep. However, some jack O$$ in a cubicle at Blue Cross and Blue shield has decided that a year of insomnia isn't considered prolonged and on-going so they won't pay for it!

In our busy lives it's very easy to ignore any situation that's unpleasant or even uncomfortable. However what should you do if suddenly you become anxious without any known cause? There are people who become housebound due to their fear of being in crowded places or even open places where they might become vulnerable to the terror of panic attacks. It's for situations like these, that anti anxiety medication is prescribed by doctors.

As there's a large amount of anti anxiety meds available you might think that any one of these will be suitable to reduce your feelings of anxiety. However, even though many of these anti anxiety medications will work to a degree, certain types of medications will work best with the particular mental disorder that closely matches their chemical criteria.

For instance Benzodiazepine is an anti anxiety medication that has an almost instant reaction in the body. You can take this medication 30 to 60 minutes before going into a stressful situation. For people who have acute but infrequent anxiety attacks Benzodiazepine is the best anti anxiety medicine to take. However due to it's addictive nature it's best not to use Benzodiazepines for long term usage. The major side effect of prolonged use is that of seizures should you stop taking the medication abruptly.

Another type of anti anxiety medication used is that of SSRIs or serotonin-specific reuptake inhibitors. These belong in the class of antidepressant drugs. These SSRIs are very popular due to their low addiction levels, their mild side effects and the fact that they can bring down the feelings of acute anxiety. SSRIs work by maximizing the natural levels of serotonin in the brain.

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that can affect your moods. By taking an anti anxiety medication like Paxil, serotonin is inhibited from being reabsorbed by the body. Therefore more serotonin is produced to be used when it is necessary. The side effects are mild ranging from a dry mouth to sleepiness. If you desire quick results you shouldn't take any SSRIs as they need 2 to 6 weeks to infiltrate your system before you would notice any significant improvement.

There's also the anti anxiety medication dopamine agonists, which increases the levels of dopamine in the brain. Like SSRIs dopamine agonists take a few weeks to show relief from anxiety. The side effects of this class of drugs, includes insomnia and extreme excitedness amongst others. The last type of anti anxiety medication that is currently being used is that of Buspar. This drug is a mild anti anxiety medication that has little to no reporting of addiction usage. Like SSRIs and dopamine agonists discussed earlier, Buspar takes a while for its medical properties to take effect.

As with anything else these medications can help you to restore some semblance of normality to your life, but as with all drugs and treatments you should first talk with a trained medical practitioner who can help you in choosing the best anti anxiety medication for you.

I phoned the after-hours nurse line because nothing at home seemed to work and my symptoms were getting worse. The nurse said it sounded like I have a bad systemic reaction, so go to the ER or a minor emergency clinic.

I went to the minor emergency clinic because it's cheaper. I walked out 5 minutes later with instructions to take Benedryl and a referral to a dermatologist. Did I not just tell the doctor that I'm already taking anti-histamines and they aren't helping? In any case, I was hoping on finding some relief at the clinic.

My questions: Would you think I'm experiencing an allergic reaction or something else? Also, any suggestions to get some sleep given the itching or am I screwed until this passes? As I was leaving the clinic the intake nurse commented that I was a hypochondriac. Was she implying that my symptoms aren't real? Thanks for reading & for any feedback.
I know it's impossible to guess a diagnosis. I'm thinking it's either hives or a skin condition such as eczema.

I'm hoping this disappears if I use an anti-histamine everyday for a while and can resist the urge to move and scratch.
I do take Lexapro and Ritalin, as prescribed. No pain killers. I did tell the nurses and doctor that I'm taking them. Maybe I'm on a stimulant high but just don't know it. I'm open to suggestions.
Of course I won't get a real answer until I talk to my PCP or a specialist. There's lots of possible causes. I probably will not be seeing a dermatologist because I don't have health insurance right now. I'm going to try hard to ignore whatever is happening.

It almost sounds like Restless leg syndrome. ?? Be sure to call the dermatologist and get some 'help'.. there is some medication to help.

It is a condition that is characterized by an irresistible urge to move one's body to stop uncomfortable or odd sensations. It most commonly affects the legs, but can also be in the arms and torso. Moving the affected body part modulates the sensations, providing temporary relief. RLS causes a sensation in the legs or arms that can most closely be compared to a burning, itching, or tickling sensation.
