Natural pain meds?
I suffer from seasonal sinus infections, and find that Tylenol is the only thing that eases the pain. I am trying to conceive, and so Tylenol will be out of the question now. Does anyone have any suggestions for natural pain relievers that won't hurt a pregnant woman and child?
Are there any alternative med's that help your body recover from miscarriage?
Answer:
I sound redundant on this website, but MSM and it is known to be safe even while breastfeeding. I think if you talk to a person at a health food store, or vitamin store, they will tell you to take this. It helps with allergies and asthma, pain and about 15 other ailments and think it may help with your sinus infections. Also, do you live in an area with alot of mold? I used to get sinus infectiosn every month because of the mold in my apartment, once I moved I haven't had one since. I know how painful they can be too.
Can you please guide me to some nice spirit sounds on the network?
Try a salt water nasal spray.
Does anyone know if Zicam works?
Hey there!
Shaklee makes some great products for pain relief and immune building.
They have Basics, a vitamin strip that's all-natural and helps build your immune system- also a protein drink high in folic acid- really great for pregnant women and women trying to become pregnant. (A colleague's wife couldn't conceieve, was having misscarriages, and after a month or two of use she became pregnant and now has two healthy babies!)
Shaklee also offers a Pain Relief Complex as well as NutriFeron, an amazing, patented product that is great for preventing those sinus infections before you get them.

Is meditation good for ADD? What else can help?
Hi,
I can tell you from my personal experience that I found some relieve with Feverfew, but I don't think you can take it when you're pregnant. Most herbs are just like drugs and they not recommended for pregnant women.
I have few suggestions you can try. One is yoga and second one is acupressure.
Headache Relief Pressure Points Tutorial
In this tutorial you will find the technique, based on Chinese pressure points that can be used for fast headache relief.
The technique takes 5-10 minutes, and I find it very useful for most types of the headache. It is also very easy to apply - you can do it to yourself, as well as to someone else. It does not take more than 10 minutes to learn.
Unlike most "non-prescribed drugs", it works almost instantaneously, as the mater of fact; people often feel relief before the routine is completed.
There are, of course, conditions, that require different kinds of treatment (a cracked scull is a good example :), but for most types of headache this technique can compete with "non-prescribed drugs". Still, read the disclaimer, use your own judgment and consult your family doctor.
If you want to read the rest of this article, please access the link, since I can't include pictures and you need to see the techniques.

I also have yoga sequence you can try:
HEADACHE SEQUENCE (minimum time 25 minutes, maximum time 45 minutes)
1. Balasana (Child's Pose)
Perform either with your head on the floor, or with your torso and head supported on a bolster positioned between your thighs. The bolster's long axis should be parallel to your torso. (Total time 3 to 5 minutes.) >>
2. Janu Sirsasana (Head-to-Knee Pose)
Support your head either on a bolster laid across your extended leg, or, if you're less flexible, on the front edge of a padded chair seat. Hold each side for 1 to 3 minutes; total time 2 to 6 minutes. >>
3. Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward-Facing Dog)
Support your head on a bolster or block. (Total time 1 to 2 minutes.) >>
4. Uttanasana (Standing Forward Bend)
Place your head and crossed forearms supported on a padded chair seat. (Total time 1 to 3 minutes.) >>
5. Supta Baddha Konasana (Reclining Bound Angle Pose)
Support the torso on a rolled blanket underneath and parallel to your spine. (Total time 3 to 5 minutes.) >>
6. Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (Supported Bridge Pose)
Support the torso on a bolster, and shoulders and head resting lightly on the floor. (Total time 3 to 5 minutes.) >>
7. Viparita Karani (Legs-Up-the-Wall Pose)
Let the pelvis be support either on a bolster or rolled blanket. (Total time 3 to 5 minutes.) To avoid any possibility of straining your back when exiting, be sure not to twist off the support. Either 1) slide off the support first before turning to your side, or 2) bend your knees, press your feet against the wall, and with an inhalation lift your pelvis off the support; then slide the support off to one side, lower your pelvis to the floor, and turn onto your side. >>
8. Savasana (Corpse Pose)
Take normal inhalations but lengthen the exhalations as much as is comfortable for you. If you normally take 5 counts on an exhalation, extend it to 7 or 8 counts if possible. At the end of the first 10 or so exhalations, pause for 2 to 5 seconds before drawing the next inhalation. (Total time 10 to 15 minutes.) >>
When in Corpse Pose you might also want to lay a weighted sandbag on your forehead. Lie in Corpse and position a block so that it's touching the top of your head It's long axis should be perpendicular to your head. Lay the weighted bag half on the block and half on your forehead. As with the wrap, the pressure of the weight on your head helps release the tension.
