Health is fun and important ;)
 
When it comes to medicine, it evokes necessarily health. Medicine was essentially aimed at making patient health and strength. It is further distinguished into two parts, one recognized as legal and that which is unconventional.
Conventional medicine against unconventional medicine

If the first drug products and uses surgery to treat patients and is approved by science, the second did not have the support of all international companies. It operates only in certain countries.

Several names apply to this medicine. The European Commission called unconventional medicine. It is synonymous with alternative medicine, complementary medicine, holistic medicine or natural medicine. Sometimes even that is attributed to this kind of medicine derogatory terms such as: marginal or popular quackery.
Curative alternative medicine

Do not administer to patients of chemicals is the goal of alternative medicine. It uses the resources that nature offers. Thus, medicinal plants are harvested. Fall into the category of alternative medicine: homeopathy uses minute doses to treat the disease, taking into account elements of the healing properties they contain. Natural medicine is based on empirical knowledge derived from tradition. So that in some countries, this medicine is prohibited, in others it supports it more or less in Asian countries, it is common.
Alternative medicine and its different forms

Acupuncture needles deals with choosing the strategic points of the body. Massage therapy and physical therapy specializing in massage. Hypnotherapy deals with mental illnesses by hypnotizing patients. As for aromatherapy, it is to use essential oils extracted from various plants. To do so, some herbs are used: lime, ginger, rose and hypericum.
Doctors and healers, hand in hand?

In countries where we tolerate the existence of natural medicine, it is possible that physicians working with the industry conventional practitioners of medicine. This, in order to cure patients who strongly believe in the power of their "healer". And while this practice is good for the patient, doctors agree. However, this does not mean they are convinced of the therapeutic value of this alternative medicine and therefore they validate it. Only in an effort to relieve the sick. For them, they believe very well that this is just pretend that does not have curative powers.
What then should we conclude?

The behavior that we should adopt vis-à-vis alternative medicine is very simple. First, try to have as much information about the practice and practitioners before entrusting their health. Do not forget that we have not yet identified all natural medicines. Each country has its own. What is certain is that the principle is the same when it comes to alternative medicine: use only for plants whose variety can treat many diseases.
Other therapies used in alternative medicine

Other resources are also used by this medicine with light therapy which involves removing infrared and ultraviolet. Then meditation: its aim is to focus on an idea by ignoring all the Entourage. And finally, yoga tends to confuse the body and mind so they do not do that. And music therapy also exists. Whether conventional or not, the goal of medicine is the same: to try to relieve and give the well-being to patients. To each, therefore, look for one as for the other.
 
Iyengar Yoga is a method developed in the 50s by BKS Iyengar, internationally recognized master. This type of yoga is distinguished by an extensive practice of asanas, yoga postures, aided by a system of supports (bricks, blankets, chairs, straps ...).

Bikram Yoga is a contemporary variation of classical Yoga. This alternative was developed by Bikram Choudury India. This man has an amazing journey. He began practicing yoga at age 3. At 5 years, he was noticed by Bishu Ghosh and began studying more intensively Yoga. These studies quickly led him to become a champion of Yoga.

This propels the bullet immediately to a bright future. Bikram Choudhury then engages in a personal way landmark. He will join a research project sponsored by the United Nations University in Tokyo. The medical profession relies on its own case to try to prove all the benefits of yoga on the body. The healing of chronic ailments is at the heart of research. In 1973, Bikram Choudhury personally invited by President Nixon arrives in the United States. The following year he founded the California Yoga College of India.

Are referred to as mobile devices such as mobile phone we carry with you all the time to resolve communication problems. We can solve a lot of problems with these tools. However, its impacts on health are clearly ostracized by some studies.
Small compared to better understand

The notebook is the ideal solution to avoid loneliness and isolation. However, besides these advantages, the cell remains no less dangerous for its many customers. Thus, we must first see how a cell phone works there. When a cell sends a signal, it is immediately received by a repeater and distributed either to a fixed device, either to another cell. It behaves like a microwave. If using a microwave power of several hundred watts, the mobile phone that uses very low power. The frequencies that the networks are employing high intensity: the microwave. Now they are proportional to the distance where the device. The heat they generate depends on the power of the laptop.
Health: the organs and cells of the head in front line

Indeed, the WHO drew attention to a fact: when one is placed in front of RF fields, even if they are at a lower intensity, the resulting heating disturbs brain function . This was observed in rabbits and cats. This suggests that these fields have effects on cell multiplication. Studies have been made and they have demonstrated that there is a possible relationship between growth of brain tumors and expansion of the use of mobile phones. Other studies have reported the possible deterioration of the auditory nerve or the salivary gland. The development of cancer would be to fear the face of this massive use of the laptop. The eyes are also not spared.
And in the long

In addition, other damage is also reported to decrease the memory capacity. The immunization system could also be disturbed. The misuse of mobile phones could also be responsible for hypertension, anorexia, insomnia, headaches or even brain cancer. Moreover, experiments have noted that the cell would be capable of causing disturbances at some electronic machines such as pacemakers, cardiopulmonary assist devices, hearing aids, etc.. Thus safe spaces were designed to prevent such interference.
Children and portable

The most vulnerable on the effects of propagation of microwaves are the children. This would require defining a minimum use of cell phones to children and restrict their use to smaller ones. However, it is deplorable to see the authorities unmoved by these threats to the youth population.
How to guard against these dangers?

What behaviors should be observed to minimize the most of these dangers? Regarding children, they simply prohibits any use of a laptop. It avoids use of cell in tight places. Similarly, it does not install the belt. It can damage internal organs. Keep away from the body when one is in communication could also be a solution. The installation of antennas relay around school environments should be avoided. State that today's mobile phone use is not harmful would be risky.
 
Ashtanga Yoga is one of the most dynamic disciplines of Yoga. It is the union of body and mind to achieve the universal Self. To achieve this, the Yogi must use 8 distinct but related including among other things, posture, breath control ...

Ashtanga Yoga that can be translated by the 8 limbs of yoga is a pure variant of Yoga. It was written by a sage Vamana Rishi, then passed down from generation to generation in the way to Grand Master Yogi Sri Krishnamacharya. This great master founded in 1930 in Mysore, India formed a school BKS Iyengar and Jois Pattabi who have driven all two own style, very dynamic. This is the version intended rather for young people in perfect health condition that is known in the West. Despite its sporty undeniable, Ashtanga Yoga respects the purest teaching Yoga.
8 Steps inseparable

Ashtanga Yoga is based on the 8 limbs of Raja Yoga of Patanjali dating from the second century BC These 8 members are inseparable and complementary. They are inner purification, the union of body and mind to achieve the universal Self. These 8 members are successively:

    * Yama: the moral code of yoga. It defines the rules of life in relation to other (non-violence, respect for life ...)
    * Niyama: the code of self-purification. It defines the rules for living in relationship with oneself.
    * Asana: These are the postures. To improve its understanding of the world, control its energy and better focus its fears and doubts.
    * Pranayama: it is the control of respiration. Like the previous posture, control of breathing can gain self-control.
    * Pratyahara: is control of the senses. External stimuli are gradually erased to make way for the concentration of the mind. Listening sensory turns inward.
    * Dharana: the concentration of the senses. The mind focuses on one point.
    * Dyana: that deep meditation. The mind does not form any more than a home. It is its own light.
    * Samadhi: the deep contemplation also known as ecstasy. This marks the state of union with the universal, the absorption in the Absolute.

Ashtanga Yoga practice

If the traditional Ashtanga Yoga leads to wisdom and ecstasy or bliss state, in practice in the West, the Ashtâga Yoga is limited to a much more simplified approach is summed up in most cases postures ( asana) and breathing exercises. Each session lasts an average of 1:30 ET consists of approximately 50 exposures combining and synchronizing the movement of breath (Vinyasa). The movement is continuous and synchronized breathing is done only by nose. Breathing exercises through the application of bandha (locks) which are all local muscle contractions. Each pose is also associated with a fixation point of gaze (Drishti) which allows a better concentration of mind.
 
Hatha Yoga is the most popular and classic Yoga. It aims to bridge the gap between the inside and outside for a deep harmony. Hatha Yoga uses postures associated with many, many sessions of meditation to achieve harmony.

Hatha yoga is the classical form of yoga. It has been practiced for some 2500 years BC in India.

In the West the practice is actually quite recent. If the overall Hatha Yoga is located at the convergence of intellectual and spiritual practice, in fact, the practice in the West is mainly based on physical exercise, gymnastics simple practice to gain flexibility and breath. The two are certainly not incompatible, as control of breath and exercise can alleviate the stress and reconnect with inner peace and harmony with our environment!
A postural

The practice of Hatha Yoga is mainly based on work posture. Postures called asanas in the thousands. Each has several variants which allows a gradual adjustment to the level of practice each posture according to the stage of learning. These postures are stretching the body but also the management of the breath through Pranayama are breathing exercises. In the enormous amount of postures of Hatha Yoga, 84 are really important. These postures are carried out standing, sitting, supine or prone, kneeling ... They all have names borrowed from the symbolic register the animal or plant:: lotus, cobra, locust, tree, camel posture ... The work is done on the instructions of a teacher. The teacher's breathing rhythm during his according to his voice. Relaxation between postures can eliminate all internal tensions. The benefit of a meeting of Hatha Yoga translates well being inside.
Beyond Postures

Hatha Yoga goes far beyond the simple postural discipline. The method allows to be positive and thus develop harmoniously the body and mind. Indeed, if one takes the origins of this discipline, including its purest form, the Sanskrit word yoga has its root "yug". This root has at least three senses: common, control, and integration (samadhi). In other words, Hatha Yoga defines both ends and means. And in fact, codified by Patanjali Hatha Yoga (Indian philosopher of the second century AD.) Consists of several steps further and inseparable. Each session implements postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), training in moral and social attitudes virtuous (Yama and Niyama) and periods of meditation where one forgets her body. These periods are named according to the degree of absorption of the mind prathyâhârâ, Dharan, dhyana and samadhi. The practice of Hatha Yoga is mainly testing of complementary opposites (female / male, movement / stillness, inspiration / expiration, resistance / letting go). These experiments allow a perfect control of his body to achieve inner harmony but also with its external environment.

 
If blockages articular, visceral or nervous, osteopathy offers a real alternative. The effectiveness of manipulation is especially evident among pregnant women, infants, or as a result of an accident.

Osteopathy is a natural science of health. It is based on accurate knowledge of anatomy and physiology of the human body.

This method only relies on a manual diagnostic phase and then a manipulation of the body to treat mobility restrictions or blockages called osteopathic lesions. These blockages are actually mechanical problems that can alter the balance of health. Each block is replaced in the whole body. The consultation aims to identify and treat the loss of mobility of joints, muscles, ligaments and organs responsible for imbalances in the blood circulation and nervous energy. By removing bottlenecks, the osteopath restores tissue by a delivery based on the vasculature and nervous system, a physiological balance.
For whom? Why?

Osteopathy is for anyone suffering from mechanical problems as well as bone and joints, and circulatory, nervous and hormonal, visceral and organic. Specifically, osteopathy relates generally to all orthopedic disorders and musculoskeletal system (sprains, tendonitis, back pain, back pain, costalgies, neck, jaw locking ...) and neurological disorders (sciatica, neuralgia facial cruralgia , intercostal neuralgia ...), the cardiovascular system (circulatory disorders of lower limbs, palpitations, hemorrhoids ....), digestive tract (bloating, hiatal hernias, constipation ....), the genitourinary system (pregnancy, cystitis, infertility functional disorders of sexual function ...), ENT (rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, tinnitus, headaches, migraines ...), neuro vegetative systems (depression, anxiety, Stress, sleep ...). Osteopathy is also very effective in reducing pain due to trauma such as fractures, dislocations, torn, pulled a muscle. In infants and children, the Osteopathic method improves significantly traumatic pathologies of the consecutive test of birth as strabismus, gastroesophageal reflux, the chronic nasopharyngitis, chronic ear infections, disorders behavior or sleep, dyslexia.
When to consult?

Generally, consulting an osteopath is late: the patient arrives at the office of last resort when conventional medicine could bring real relief to pain or loss of mobility. This finding is generally harmful, since, many of the pain may be "early" before they occurred! Professionals and insist on the fact that a visit to an osteopath may also be preventive. In conducting an assessment and osteopathic postural to major periods of life such as birth, pregnancy for the mother during perimenopause and menopause and after any accident, the organic balance can be preserved.

In pregnant women, consulting an osteopath is often a relief because the professional knows effectively counter pain associated with pregnancy (back pain, digestive congestion ...). In senior, regular consultation with an osteopath may also improve the playing conditions of autonomy for the prevention of aging.
 
Braces are not just restricted to children! The adults themselves also sometimes need to find well-aligned teeth. It is never too late to correct a defect of dentition.

Orthodontics generally cater to children but not only. Adult placement of braces can also give good results. Usually wearing a dental appliance in adults occurs when the teeth are misaligned. Devices in this case are discrete limit unsightly effect.
A technique discreet

The braces for adults differs from that of the child's discretion. Rings placed on the teeth are transparent ceramic, almost invisible. They are not prone to yellowing over time. The son holding the rings are mostly made of metal but the whole does not detract from the smile. The additional cost for this cutting-edge technology is acceptable since such dentures costs just over 150 € more than a device while steel!

More recently, with the appearance of lingual orthodontics, discretion is even more evident since the device is not arranged on the outer surface of the teeth, but inside. This new technology if it is a champion of discretion, however, one major drawback: its price is five times more expensive than conventional equipment.
A spectacular recovery

Orthodontic techniques are mainly used in adults to straighten misaligned teeth. As child, wearing a dental appliance in adults can rectify the situation when the teeth overlap or are too advanced. If the purpose of this technique is mostly aesthetic, the fact remains that the harmony of the teeth is also important for health. Misaligned teeth expose adults to poor mastication. Moreover, the spaces inaccessible to the toothbrush can be a real nest of infection due to the accumulation of plaque in particular.
Overall, in adults, the decision to set up an orthodontic program stems from an aesthetic concern but also medical. For young adults, aesthetics is often the first argument. More patients are getting older, more medical concerns are critical. And after 40 to 45 years, the aging of bone support of teeth may result in "secondary migration" favoring the occurrence of periodontal diseases responsible for tooth loss.
An expensive treatment

Orthodontic treatment lasts at least 2 years. Knowing that the costs associated with those treatments are not covered by social security after 16 years, the cost of treatment is chilling! Indeed, it takes between 900 and 1500 € per quarter budget! Some mutual under certain conditions partially reimburse such care when the medical condition of the teeth can be improved. Besides the significant cost, braces for adults also has the disadvantage of being difficult to be bear in life everyday. Adaptation is sometimes long! The speech and feeding may be particularly disturbed.
 
The femoral neuropathy is often equated with sciatica and rightly so. In fact, the two diseases are very similar in that they affect both the nerves of the lower limb: one on the front and one on the back!

Less known and less frequent as the sciatic, femoral neuropathy is the impairment of the femoral nerve or lumbar roots that form the femoral nerve. This nerve also known as femoral nerve innervates the anterior thigh. It arises at the lumbar spine (lower back) and innervates the right and left inside the wall lumbar and pelvis before entering the thigh. The fate of the nerve root or lumbar spine between the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae or between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebra. When this nerve is irritated, pain is dazzling as sciatica but instead be on the back of the leg this time it touches the front part, at the front of the thigh (quadriceps).
Causes and symptoms

The femoral neuropathy caused by irritation of the femoral nerve following a lesion most often caused by a conflict between an intervertebral disc. This conflict can come from either osteoarthritis or a cyst, a malignant tumor, atrophy (decreased muscle volume). According as the nerve exits between the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae or between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae, the pain varies. In all cases the pain follows the nerve circuit. If the root is affected L3 pain following the outer edge of the buttock and thigh and then to the inside of the knee. If the L4 root is affected, the pain goes down into the buttock and the outer side of the thigh to continue above the knee to the foot. The pain is accompanied by a reduction or abolition of patellar reflex. Generally, the concerns most often cruralgia individuals after age 50. The doctor may ask her diagnosis by using various tests of flexion and extension.
The treatment of femoral neuropathy

As sciatica, cruralgia fades of itself in a few weeks under conditions of absolute rest. To help patients overcome the acute pain at night, doctors usually prescribe analgesics (painkillers) and anti-inflammatory. If pain persists, it is possible to complete the treatment with corticosteroid injections in a second time. Another treatment option is to conduct a manipulation by an osteopath. This practice provides the most excellent result. In case of repetition and regular aggravating, additional tests may be required to detect a possible tumor from hindering the smooth functioning of the nerve. In this case, surgery may then be attempted.
 
An infant can die quickly without it knows precisely why. That is what is called sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). If in the 80s, we advanced the theory that the baby has stopped inadvertently breathing while sleeping causing his own death and now this theory is no longer considered.
As disturbing and unexpected situations

Sudden infant death occurs in two forms. Sudden death from causes that could have been identified, then the sudden unexplained death (SIDS) when everything seems normal after it performed an autopsy on the baby. There were no valid reasons to explain this death.

Two cases may well arise:

In the first, the baby is dead. The accident can occur anywhere in the parents, during a visit with friends or even on a walk. At the sight of their baby, parents worried about him trying to bring relief, but the infant can be saved.

In the second case, after a few attempts at resuscitation, the baby finds its breath and comes back to life. When he arrived at the hospital, he shows no signs of illness. However the doctors keep trying to find out, after analysis, the exact cause of this temporary cessation of life. They hypothesize a choking because the child has vomited, or he was undergoing convulsions. Analyses were unsuccessful, what worries parents more about the future of another baby.
Where to find the explanation?

Several factors act together in infants and cause death. The primary responsibility is infection, such as bronchiolitis, viral fever or rhinoviruses. The baby may be suffering from meningitis, myocarditis or obstructive apnea. It can also die as a result of vomiting produced by what is called gastroesophageal reflux. When the baby does not support some food, it drives what he has taken or has other signs such as cyanosis. The pain caused by esophagitis can cause slowed heartbeat and death may occur. To prevent vomiting, it did take the medication as vogalène baby. When the infant also experiences discomfort in the vagus region, it may disappear and never come back to life.

In addition, there are other causes that can cause death to a baby even if we consider that they are quite rare: apnea, for example, cardiac arrest or bowel obstruction due to twisting of the intestine. Hypoglycemia may also cause the death of the baby.
Of little ways to prevent SIDS

Accidents that cause death of an infant are those encountered when the baby is in its cradle. It can choke if by an unfortunate accident, he buried his face under the pillow or under the blanket. Some techniques have helped maintain the baby: the fact of lying flat on his back, no pillow, no cover and temperatures approaching 19 °, has changed the statistics, as well.
Physician's role and some advice

It is for the doctor to inform and comfort the parents of an infant who died suddenly. This is very important for the psychic balance of the family. Places is called "reference center" are based to avoid such unexpected and unexplained deaths. It should also be alert to signs that may precede the probable death. The baby became very nervous, for instance, loses appetite or vomits repeatedly rejecting his food. So, to protect infants, it must observe its behavior and bring urgent to see a doctor.
