Natural remedies against muscles ache

When you have trained very hard and you get muscular fever, or if you caught a flu and all muscles hurt, you should not hurry taking pain killers. Instead, you may choose to apply clay or other herbs compresses, with a relaxing effect. Clay has anti-inflammatory effect

Clay powder is a well known remedy in arthrosis, with an anti-inflammatory effect. It may also be used is alleviating muscles ache, no matter the cause. All you need is 4-5 tablespoons of powder clay, in which to add warm water and keep stirring until obtaining a homogeneous paste. This paste can then be applied directly on the entire surface of the painful muscle, or only at the ends, near the joints, in a 5 centimeter layer. Leave it on for 20 minutes to 2 hours. This remedy is also very efficient for back aches.
Cabbage leaves, old but efficient remedy
This is a very old remedy, that our grandparents used to apply on joints affected by arthritis. Besides it being very helpful in muscular aches, it is also very easy to use. All you have to do is smash some cabbage leaves and apply those directly on the affected area, leaving them on for about 30 to 40 minutes. You may use as well oak, birch, walnut or willow leaves.
Warm baths, followed by compresses
Warmth enlarges blood vessels and stimulates the bloodstream, therefore helping aching muscles to relax. That is why a warm bath is more than welcomed in cases of muscles ache. To obtain an even more relaxing effect, add to the bath sweet flag (calamus) or willow bark extract. The extract is prepared by boiling a tablespoon of each plant (add only when the water is boiling) in a liter of water, for about 10 to 15 minutes. The liquid is filtered and poured in the bath tub filled with warm water. The bark or plants remained may be applied on the muscles after the bath.
Very useful in cases of muscle fever is also St John’s wort (hypericum perforatum) or lavender soak applied directly on the affected surface. Raw potatoes or powder mint poultice (cataplasm), mixed until obtaining a homogenous paste can be applied on gauze and afterwards on the muscle.
And remember: a simple exercise often helps reducing muscular fever!

Green Tea, a must in the cold season

To cope up with emotional problems like stress, depression and anxiety during the cold season but also to develop and strengthen a healthy body, green tea is highly recommended.
Green tea contains numerous polyphenols which grant high antioxidant properties. Due to these properties, green tea has protective effects against cardiovascular diseases, cancer, arthritis, diabetes, seasonal diseases, Alzheimer and Parkinson and against aging also.
During the cold winter, the green tea helps you find the emotional equilibrium which is at high risk during this time of the year when the lack of sunlight and the cold can drag you to a continuous state of stress, depression and nervousness.
The more tea you drink, the less you feel stressed. Scientists have reached this conclusion after studying over 42.000 persons with age over 40s. Together with the disappearance of the stress effects, the pneumonia and depression risk is diminished to about 45%.
Against flu and cold green tea effect are even stronger. Polyphenols and flavonoids contained, strengthen the immune system making it much more resistant against cold, flu and all types of infections.
Because on the market there are many varieties of green tea, always go for the Japanese ones (the most concentrated and efficient ones) since many do not deserve their name.
Stay Healthy!

Contrast-enhanced MRI could lead to a more targeted therapy for rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis

According to a new study contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could help to differentiate between psoriatic and rheumatoid arthritis in hands and wrists.  Because in the past the treatment for patients with psoriatic arthritis was based on the treatment for those with rheumatoid arthritis the results of the study might lead to a more targeted therapy unique to each condition.
The study that took place at the University Hospital of Tubingen imaged using contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging 31 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and 14 with psoriatic arthritis. The contrast media in rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis is presumed to be different and the difference can only be seen 15 minutes after the contrast material is given.
“Our study revealed a significant difference in perfusion between those patients with rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis after 15 minutes. However, since it was a small group of patients and there was an overlap in perfusion values between both types of arthritis, a diagnosis could not be led by contrast-enhanced MRI alone. Our results are nonetheless promising though,” said Nina Schwenzer, lead author of the study.

Chinese Boy is just 2yrs & Is World’s Youngest Smoker

Melbourne: A two-year-old Chinese boy is the world’’s youngest smoker. And it was Tong Liangliang’’s dad who taught him how to spark up between tantrums and milky vomits.

Liangliang’’s dad said his son was born with a hernia, and being too young for an operation, has taken up smoking to help him deal with the pain.
“The father wasn”t aware how serious the toddler’’s habit had become until the child began to increase the number of cigarettes he smoked per day,” News.com.au quoted news agency CRI as saying.
However, The Guinness Book of World Records may not accept the feat, as it has refused such requests before on the grounds that it “promoted a harmful habit”. (ANI)

Changing weather may affect our health

It is true that we change with weather at least regarding health and state of mind. We all are influenced more or less by temperature variations.

Arthritis symptoms worsen 

Human body is equipped with sensory receptors that sense external temperature variations as well as atmospheric pressure changes. As these receptors are highly sensible to climate changes they can influence pain sensation. Namely when weather changes, pain rising from already existing illnesses worsens. That is why rheumatics are natural thermometers and barometers. Person suffering from arthrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis experience greater articular pain.
Increased heart arrest risk
During winter, approximately half of hypertension persons fatalities are caused by heart arrest due the blood vessels contractions when exposed to cold. In the case of arteriosclerosis sufferings, blood vessel contraction can lead to occlusion. When temperatures lower above 4 degree Celsius (39F) risk of cardiac problems rises with 115% while high temperature variations increase the risk with 140%
Asthma attacks are more frequent
Strong wind has a negative effect upon asthma sufferings. Cold an dry air irritates the already sensible mucosa, leading to violent spasms. Muscles that surround the bronchi stiffen limiting air flow and creating respiratory difficulties.

New technique could help millions suffering from arthritis and osteoporosis

French researchers developed a revolutionary technique for administering bone repairing drugs which could help millions suffering from arthritis and osteoporosis.
Researchers from Strasbourg University hope the new technique will help bone and cartilage recovery thanks to the implant that gradually releases the necessary drugs (growth hormone drugs) into the body.
The new technique developed by the University of Strasbourg was tested only in the laboratory and on animals. This discovery is especially important to the elderly because in their case broken bones heal slower and may lead to permanent disability and even death.
