Cool and Sweet

Letha Beauty, Energy, Pain Management Comments 1

How can you stay calm in a restless world? When thoughts fly in circles and nerves are on edge, take time to breathe. Remember cooling soothing places where you have been content. A cooling massage oil reduces rashes, angers, headaches and joint pains. Apply it before or after a bath to moisten skin and relax tensions. Herbs that curb “excess pitta” refresh the mind and enhance sleep and pleasant dreams. Here is your summer-heat mind/body treatment.

Obsessive Thoughts or The Houseguest from Hell

Letha Boomers, The Loving Home Comments 0

She picks her nose at the dinner table then digs into the salad bowel with her hands. She farts aloud anywhere. She dirties sheets and towels with lotions, oils and honey she puts on her skin and leaves oily fingerprints all around. She wears filthy clothing and expects you to wash them. She grabs foods, medicines and sucks on bottles of cooking ingredients and spreads them around the house. She jabbers baby talk in a shrill voice, argues with family, demands her way and insists she is right especially when proven wrong. You suggest something for her chronic acne or nail fungus but she knows better and you can’t help. She/he is the houseguest from Hell too (old, dumb, stubborn, or etc.) to change. Fretting about the invasion ruins sleep and makes you want to kill. Are your thoughts unreasonable, angry or obsessive? You have to reduce the effects of stress on yourself.

Happy Garden Tea

Letha Tea, The Loving Home Comments 0

Has life been twisting your whiskers? Are you pissed? Has someone chewed your ears, stepped on your tail? Are you owner-challenged? Out of cat food? You should escape to a happy garden, lie under a flowering bush and relax. Happy Garden Tea, a Yin/Yang Sisters instant beverage, is made from finely powdered Chinese herbs that improve digestion and mood: Powdered bupleurum, mimosa flower, wild jujube date, tender wheat sprout, licorice root, roses, and gardenia buds–the soothing fragrance of a garden. Add hot water and enjoy. Or mix the powder with juice.

Angry Pain

Letha Bone and Joint Health Comments 0

Here’s another one of those studies: 64 volunteers were asked to put their hand in ice water for as long as possible while repeating a swear word of their choice. They then repeated it using a non-affect word that might describe a table. What’s the connection between word choice and pain? Researchers at Britain’s Keele University School of psychology concluded that swear words reduce pain. Wow! If we all get together and yell enough swear words to turn the sky blue, pain may disappear all together. It is uncertain how or why, but the volunteers were able to keep their hands in the ice water for longer when swearing. Sorry, that does not establish a link between swearing and pain tolerance. If that were the case certain neighborhoods I know would be totally pain-free. Some of the kids leaving school on my New York City block must be perfect specimens.
