Depression, Anxiety and Mood disorders

It’s all over the news about mental illness, suicide, etc. and it wakes everyone up to evaluate themselves and those around them.

As a nurse I work with mentally ill patients who are courageously seeking treatment to stabilize their mood.

As an herbalist and nutritionist practitioner, I have some amazing supportive supplements and other recommendations to elevate/stablize your mood. These are for mild symptoms and not to be substituted for prescriptive treatment already being taken. However, if you are not taking anything, please contact me for an evaluation and set up a treatment plan.

Don’t wait until it gets severe! Like when you are having pain, you want to take a pain pill before it gets too severe because then it is hard to get on top of it.

We are so blessed with the internet offering youtube videos with guided meditations for anxiety, depression, etc. There are also some that have a certain vibration that can elevate serotonin, dopamine and other neurotransmitter levels.

You do not need to suffer alone! A good cognitive behavioral therapist along with some natural remedies can be just the right combination for treatment!

AND…if you are feeling suicidal, call the National Hotline at 1-800-273-8255

Altitude Sickness & Prevention

Altitude Sickness Prevention

Mountain scenes are indeed breathtaking.  As you reach higher altitudes, barometric pressure  decreases so every breath you take contains fewer molecules of oxygen causing you to take more breaths to get the  oxygen you need.  Of course this happens when you exert yourself walking up any hill, but at low altitudes, the  shortness of breath usually    resolves itself soon after you rest.  Not so in a high altitude.

As the amount of oxygen in your lungs decreases, the blood becomes less and less efficient at acquiring and transporting oxygen, so no matter how many breaths you take, you are unlikely to attain a normal blood level of  oxygen.

It takes your brain a few days to figure out it has to breathe more.  Although everyone reacts  differently, anybody can get   altitude sickness, even those who are physically fit, with lots of high altitude experience, young or old, male or female.

The most common reason for getting altitude sickness is  directly related to how quickly you ascend, so if you plan to go high, your best guarantee is to go slow.  If that’s not     possible, at least know the symptoms and what to do, and you should be able to feel better quickly and avoid the  severe, life-threatening forms.

Drink lots of liquids, exercise moderately, eat small meals high in carbohydrates and low in fat and eat foods high in iron, including molasses, green leafy vegetables, beets and red meat for the moisturizing value they give the body.

Medical Definitions of Altitude

High Altitude: 5000 – 11500 ft

Very High Altitude: 11500 – 18000 ft.

Extreme Altitude: above 18,000 ft.

Signals that your brain hasn’t caught on yet that you’re not at sea level:

  ·   Nausea                     ·   Dizziness              ·   Insomnia

  ·   Headaches                ·  Bloody nose          ·  Confusion

  ·   Loss of appetite        ·   Staggering

  ·   Fatigue or weakness

Things to Avoid :

  ·   Alcohol                                ·   Sleeping pills

  ·   Narcotic pain medications in more than  modest doses

How to decrease the effects of altitude sickness:

·   Ascend slowly—acclimate yourself to each altitude

·   Drink plenty of fluids – water and juice

·   Avoid alcohol

·   Minimize caffeine intake

·   Decrease salt

·   Eat a low fat, high carbohydrate diet

·   DESCEND!

PRODUCT INFORMATION:
