10 Easy Wellness Tips for Your Self Care
Self care is all about realizing that we need to take care of ourselves to function optimally in our lives. For many, self care is being selfish. This is simply not so. Eating properly, resting, getting proper exercise, smelling the flowers…these things are not selfish.
Lower back pain? Try not to overdo the bed rest. One or two days seem to be the best amount of time. to be off your feet. Lower back pain is a spiritual situation. Try to get up and about asap. Self care is needed when your lower back hurts.
Are your cholesterol numbers less than ideal? Try to exercise regularly. Can you lose weight? That will help, too. Eating fish helps. And, finally, omega-3 fatty acids really help.
Get your annual flu shot. Every year, I encounter people who come down with the flu. Most of the time, these people neglected to get their shot. And, getting a flu shot does not immunize a person for life. A flu shot must be repeated annually. This can be a bore. However, I’ve gotten a flu shot annually for the last 20 years or so and, somehow, don’t seem to get the flu.
Worried about toenail fungus? Keep your feet clean and dry. Wear well fitting shoes and socks. Snug, poorly ventilated shoes and damp, sweaty socks are a breeding ground for athlete’s foot. Go barefoot if you can. If you do have toenail or foot fungus, and if it is painful, it’s time to see a dermatologist.
To keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy, brush your teeth often. Brush your teeth after you eat with a soft bristled brush. Tooth brushing is essential for good self care.
Do you have hay fever? Cut back on alcoholic beverages during pollen season.
Do you chew gum? Chew sugarless gum to fight tooth decay.
Concerned about carpel tunnel syndrome? Keep your wrists straight when working with your hands. When you work on a keyboard, make sure your fingers are lower than your wrists. Carpel tunnel doesn’t always require surgery. A good body worker or physical therapist can often help you.
Buy your shoes in the afternoon when you’ve been on your feet for a few hours, and always have your feet measured. Know which foot is larger and fit your shoes to that foot. That way, you’ll have a more accurate shoe size and fit.
Pinkeye and other eye infections can be extremely infectious. Use care.
Always first on your list for self care is regular reflexology.

Lung Disorders Often Have Grief as an Underlying Factor
The respiratory system is often unable to function well because of infections, inflammation, abscesses, emphysema, and many other diseases. These conditions are all connected in some way to grief.
When a client partner comes to your table suffering with a lung disorder, begin by working three reflexes: the diaphragm reflex, the respiratory system focusing on the lung reflexes, and the endocrine system focusing on the adrenal reflexes. End the session by working the liver and with a solar plexus hold.
Always encourage your client partners to consult a competent health care professional with all respiratory system issues..
Encouraging your client partner to begin to take a sufficient amount of essential fatty acid Omega-3 Oil daily. This doesn’t mean s/he should go down to the local drugstore and purchase a bottle of pills. In order for the omega-3 oil to be effective, it needs to be the right kind of oil, the right amount, and the oil needs to have the cleanest origin.
It’s important to get not only your essential fatty acids but also your nutritional supplements from someone you can trust. I get my oil from Liz Malgieri at Woodstock Apothecary in Woodstock, NY. Her phone number is 845-679-0790. I’ve built a trusting relationship with her because I feel she’s a person who knows her products and will not sell something which is either worthless or harmful. It’s also important to have a person knowledgeable about nutrition, which Liz is. In the end, I know that I’m going to save money by using Liz because I’m not going to waste money on products which aren’t going to do anything for me.
There are other nutritional supplements which will help people suffering with respiratory system issues. However, for my money, the one bottom line product which will make a difference in the life of a respiratory system sufferer is Omega 3 Fatty Acid.
For the average healthy adult who is not taking a blood thinner, 3000 milligrams daily is a good basic dose. To make sure you are going to get the correct amount add the total of the EPA and DHA numbers one the label. The number should be 3000. Then, call your professional health care practitioner and discuss this decision with him/her.
