Talking about the effect of essential oil massage

Since April this year, my mother did not know where to hear that essential oil massage can cure diseases, so she went to do a set of essential oil massage, spent more than 10,000. After she had just concluded, she said she felt much better in her stomach disease for many years.
Then call me tonight, and say to do another set of essential oil massage, said to be able to activate blood stasis, cure the disease. It needs more than 5 thousand yuan. My mother is 50 years old this year, to be honest, if we can make the elders healthy, how much money is worth and should be spent.
However, I always feel something wrong, I subconsciously feel that essential oil massage can not cure, I still believe in formal medicine. Is that my prejudice? Or is it not true?

With the high pace of modern life, has appeared in a person's psychological and physiological load, cervical vertebra, lumbar became common fault, essential oils open back can deeply penetrate the skin, dredge collaterals, decompression, relaxed, more can have physical therapy effect, is the so-called "pain, pain", but also a reflection of human spine area, the body's vital organs can be reflected in the above.

The essential oil massage USES the active essential oil containing juniper, mint, sage, sweet myrrh, eucalyptus, rose, redbud, etc. Composition, coordinates the unique open back technique, carries on the loose muscle open back massage, promotes the blood circulation, relieves the mental pressure, eliminates the fatigue, tightens the skin, the improvement sleep effect!

When it comes to plant essential oils, many friends will think of air fragrance or SPA. In fact, the benefits of plant essential oils have been discovered and attracted attention in clinical practice. Proper use of essential oils is undoubtedly a more effective and effective way of healing.

Many daily care products and over-the-counter medicines contain plant extracts, mosquito-repellent products and some painkillers also use plant extracts as the main active ingredients. Our most commonly used holly ointment, Huoxiang Zhengqi pills and so on contain rich plant active ingredients.

Plant essential oils: antibiotics from nature

Aspirin first came from willow bark (but now its main ingredient is synthetic); Malaria drugs are derived from the bark of blue eucalyptus, morphine from opium poppies, and paclitaxel, an anticancer drug, originally from Pacific yew trees. Even newly developed ebola drugs use tobacco.

More and more studies have found that essential oils have powerful functions in killing human cancer cells, including breast cancer, colon cancer, oral cancer, skin cancer and so on. In addition, they are also widely used in the food industry, because they have anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal functions, can resist pathogens in food, play a role in antisepsis.

In this area, several real-life studies have been conducted on humans and animals, and the results are encouraging. In addition, scientists have achieved encouraging results in another field of application - essential oils can be used to solve the growing problem of antibiotic resistance.

Misuse of antibiotics leads to 'superbugs' in the u.s., where livestock consume 80 percent of the antibiotics, leading to the emergence of many' superbugs' that are resistant not only to antibiotics used by livestock but also to antibiotics used by humans. In fact, about 70 percent of antibiotics used in livestock are also quite useful to humans. According to the CDC, more than 2 million people in the United States fell ill due to antibiotic resistance in 2013, resulting in about 23,000 deaths and associated medical costs of up to $20 billion. But the situation is set to get worse, with a new report from the UK government saying that by 2050 drug-resistant microbes will kill more than 10 million people and cost the global economy $100 trillion.
Dr. Serrell Gay, senior program director of research services at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, said: "Many antibiotics have lost their effectiveness because of increased resistance to antibiotics, which could be one of the most important problems facing pharmaceuticals and veterinary medicine in the 21st century." Sometimes the use of antibiotics in livestock is indeed necessary, but the main cause of abuse is to accelerate growth, or to compensate for unclean farming conditions. Dr. Stuart B. Levy, a professor and hematologist at Tufts University in the United States, and his colleagues believe that abuse of antibiotics in livestock farming is the most important factor contributing to increased drug resistance. It's not over yet, and the bacteria are resistant to even other antibiotics that chickens have never been exposed to. "Drug resistance is triggered wherever antibiotics are used, and it is not confined to the surrounding environment, it can even be transmitted between different types of bacteria," Levy said. 

What measures have been taken to address this increasingly significant world health threat? The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires livestock breeders to reduce their use of antibiotics on their own, but there is no supervision or record. Farmers can still use antibiotics on the pretext of preventing infection. Levi said: "users' desire is too strong, so it is hard for them to change their practice. We sincerely hope that we can persuade them to stop using antibiotics. Whether or not the willingness of farmers can be changed, there has been a strong substitute. Several recent studies, including those by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, have shown that replacing antibiotics with plant essential oils works well for livestock.

Essential oils alone or in combination with some commonly used antibiotics can fight numerous pathogens, such as drug-resistant Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and other common bacteria. The results show that the combination of essential oils and antibiotics can greatly reduce the dosage of antibiotics. For example, two recent studies have shown that lavender and cinnamon essential oils kill E. coli and, if used in conjunction with the antibiotic piperacillin, reverse resistance to the drug. Another study found that basil and rosemary oils inhibited the growth of 60 strains of E. coli from hospital patients.

Rosemary has super sterilization effect

Other studies have found similar effects in other oils, either alone or with antibiotics. One function of essential oils, the researchers theorize, is to weaken the cell walls of resistant bacteria, allowing antibiotics to enter and destroy and kill them.

A 2011 study found that chickens using the essential oils of oregano, cinnamon and chili pepper were genetically altered to gain weight and resist an intestinal infection. A study published in the March 2012 issue of the Journal of Zoological Sciences said that rosemary and oregano essential oils produced the same weight gain in chickens as the antibiotic avermectin, and they also killed bacteria. Dr. Charles Hoffrey, a professor at the University of Georgia's Veterinary College, said it was a new area of research and they had not yet fully ascertained how essential oils worked, but "there is strong evidence that essential oils may act as an antimicrobial agent in the gut, and that some essential oils can stimulate gut cells to rejuvenate them." Strength increases.

Essential oils: the farm's secret weapon is already used by some farmers. Scott schell, owner of Bell & Evans, a high-end farm that produces antibiotic-free birds, has spoken openly about the use of essential oils. In an interview with the New York times in 2012, he said he used oregano oil and cinnamon to fight infection. He thinks it's better than anything he's ever tried before, but, "I'm a little worried about the reaction to going public, but I really think it's good." He also knows that using essential oils doesn't sound good, but it does work. Therefore, it can be said that essential oil is a secret weapon, an unsung hero of success, but cannot be made public.

From my point of view, in the massage process to add media, claiming to be able to achieve the purpose of treatment are hooligans I also often use zodiac, safflower oil, Qianli Chaoyang, various essential oils, talcum powder, onion and ginger juice, liquor, holly cream, mint water, wood perfume and so on. The aim is to increase blood circulation, reduce skin friction and improve the penetration of manipulations. That is to say, these media are only the auxiliary means of massage process, not the role of what disease can be treated. Why don't you buy yourself some moxa sticks / moxa sticks and sit at home and scrape your own scrapes for those unscrupulous merchants?

To pay attention to gastroesophageal reflux disease,the incidence of stomach disease in China is on the rise.

The rate of disease in the Chinese stomach is rising. The incidence of gastric cancer in young people aged 19 to 35 has doubled from 30 years ago, and it has become a "new disease" and "heart disease" for many young people.
There is a group of people around us who have a stomachache and stomachache at work. Some work a busy stomach also can often ache, eat what have no appetite; Others even become the "old disease" of chronic gastritis and need to carry medicine with them. Intense work and life, too much pressure makes people with stomach trouble more and more.
To pay attention to gastroesophageal reflux disease,the incidence of stomach disease in China is on the rise.

To pay attention to gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Gastroesophageal reflux is due to the abnormal gastric contents reflux to the esophagus, causing the mucosal injury and chronic syndrome, this is a very common gastrointestinal diseases, a high incidence in the crowd, even healthy people after the improper diet, sometimes also can appear the phenomenon of heartburn and reflux.

About 30 percent of people report symptoms of reflux almost every day, while 40 percent report at least once a month, according to the survey.
Therefore, esophageal reflux disease and its symptoms are very common and should be taken seriously. With the improvement of the quality of modern life, the diet structure has changed, and the obesity population has also increased, which can lead to the increase of the incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease.

The expression of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Reflux stimulation causes esophageal symptoms: heartburn, chest pain, acid, belching, reflux, dysphagia, etc.
Symptoms other than esophagus: laryngitis, laryngitis, laryngopharyngeal foreign body sensation, throat congestion, chronic cough, asthma, aspiration pneumonia, snoring, etc.
Complications: upper gastrointestinal bleeding, esophageal stenosis, Barrett esophagus, etc.

Eight Suggestions for preventing gastroesophageal reflux disease.
1. Reduce the intake, the satiety causes the lower esophageal sphincter to relax. Eat slowly and eat a small number of meals.
Dinner is especially unfavorable for food; Avoid eating four hours before bedtime. Patients with esophageal stricture, fast food intolerance, depending on the severity, select the pap, semifluid or liquid, the slow swallow a bite, or swallow soon by taking the soda for food.

2.Drink less acidic beverages, alcohol, etc., in order to prevent the lower end of the esophageal sphincter tension, especially the alcohol can reduce the frequency of peristaltic contraction of the esophagus.

3.Eat less food that slows the stomach. Gastric emptying delay not only indirectly increases the chance of reflux, but also causes abdominal distension and belching. This kind of food mainly includes some sticky food, such as zongzi, rice cake, yuanxiao, wine and so on.

4.Increase protein intake, stimulate gastrin secretion and increase the pressure of the esophageal sphincter. Therefore, some proteins can be appropriately added in the food, such as lean meat, milk, soy products, egg white, etc.

5.Eat less irritant, eat less chocolate, cook less spices, such as chili, curry, pepper, garlic, mint, etc.

6.Try to minimize the increase in abdominal pressure, such as over bending, wearing tights, and tying a belt.

7.Gastroesophageal reflux often relapse when the hypothesis, because the hypothesis when the reflux is horizontal movement, vertical than sit a bottom-up movement is easier, at the same time, when in a state of sleep, stomach mouth up and down the two doors of sphincter is in a state of relaxation, the role of inhibition of gastroesophageal reflux. Like sleeping on the bed, the bed mat can be 15~20 centimeters high, this is an effective way to reduce the counterflow, if necessary, you can also take a tablet before bed.

8.Medication should be administered under the guidance of a physician to avoid side effects of drug abuse.

Why do we have stomach trouble when we are young?


Why do we have stomach trouble when we are young?
1. In China, Because a lot of young people just graduated from school, soon to step into society, so the economic pressure will be bigger, because the job is not very stable, the guarantee of life in big cities is not completely, many people are often in the company have a cheap fast food, eat quickly will continue to work, so long the comprehensive nutrition, cause the body immune system problems, also can affect the function of intestines and stomach, resulting in some stomach trouble.

2.Because of life pressure and work pressure is too large, often can make young people feel very nervous, can't let up, so there will be work and rest time is not fixed, lead to increased the risk of stomach trouble, so can make a lot of young people intestines and stomach problems.

Reducing improper joint replacement can save billions of dollars.

According to a review published this week in JAMA, avoiding inappropriate knee and hip replacement can save about $12.7 billion.
Reducing improper joint replacement can save billions of dollars.

With an average medical insurance rate of $13,000 to limit the cost of knee and hip replacements, about $4.4 billion is saved each year.
The authors say the lack of patients with education, changes in equipment prices, and the use of inpatient and outpatient Settings can also help to increase the cost of these programs unnecessarily.
In 2014, the United States conducted 723,000 knee replacements and 505,000 hip replacements, costing more than $20 billion. That is equivalent to 226 knees and 204 hip replacements per 100,000 people, more than the replacement rate of other high-income countries. As more and more young people opt for joint replacement, the incidence of these operations is also increasing, the article said.

At the same time, the author says the United States of 205 knee arthroplasty a study concluded that more than a third of the patients are considered to be inappropriate, may save the cost of $8.3 billion.

See what drives costs and programs can help reduce overall health care costs. In some parts of the country, for example, compensation for knee and hip replacements ranges from $17,000 to nearly $60,000 in other areas. The price of the implant is also $4,000. A study in 2017 found that in expensive hospitals, the cost of knee and hip replacements was 2.1 times and 1.7 times the cost of hospitals with lower costs.

To control costs, the authors recommend limiting payment differences and treating patients with treatment options and risks in the decision-making process. Increasing the price transparency around the prosthesis will allow hospitals to compare prices and reduce the purchase price.

Moving more programs to the clinic can also save a lot of money. The authors cite the mobile surgery center's estimate that a quarter to half of knee and hip replacement can be performed in the clinic. Transferring only a quarter of the health care facilities to outpatients could save Medicare about $714 million a year.

CMS's integrated care joint replacement (CJR) bundle payment plan is another way to reduce costs. The model will tie the cost of hospitalization and the care costs of patients with knee and hip surgery after 90 days of discharge, and reward hospitals that exceed the cost and quality benchmarks.

7.6 percent of Chinese college students consider themselves bisexual or homosexual,A survey of homosex students in China.

China family planning association issued college students and the present condition of the reproductive health survey, according to a report on sexual orientation, Chinese college students, the thought of himself as heterosexual students accounted for 89.5%, gay and bisexual accounted for 2.5% and 5.1% respectively.

7.6 percent of Chinese college students consider themselves bisexual or homosexual,A survey of homosex students in China.

The survey was conducted in 2015 with 17,966 valid questionnaires covering more than 130 universities in China, with an average age of 20.2 years. Homosexuality among Chinese college students is slightly lower than in the United States and Europe.

In recent years, the Chinese perception of gay has changed, at least from the point of the younger generation group, most people's attitude is not exclusive homosexuality exists in social life.

Before the interview, we subconsciously thought that foreigners would be very open, especially those from Europe and the United States, which should be very different from the Chinese. But that is not the case.
The five Russian girls interviewed said they did not like gay people and had few gay people around them. A foreign student from the United States says some of his gay friends still face public opinion and pressure to make intimate moves with their male friends in public. But all respondents said that everyone should have the right to love.

Homosexuality is still the boundary of society when society is not universally accepted.

In the sad and sad stories we hear, they are not only struggling, but also under pressure from family and public opinion. Gay in the past, people regarded as a kind of disease and abnormal behavior, try by electric shock "aversion therapy", intake of male female hormones and brain lobe resection surgery such as appalling change sexual orientation.

Based on treatment of inefficiencies, most gay people are no longer seeking medical help, they or latent in the other side of the city to show the other side of the unknown, or hit a nominal marriage life.
Conservative estimates suggest that more than 16 million Chinese women have married gay or bisexual men.

Some gay people divorced, married, divorced, and eventually chose to go home.

The prevailing view in the United States and Europe that homosexuality is a disease is not a disease, nor is it treated, and that is supported by the medical community. In 1992, the world health organization (who) confirmed that homosexuality was a natural phenomenon for minorities and did not include it as a mental disorder.

China removed homosexuals from the list of mentally ill people in 2001.
We look forward to a more inclusive social environment.
