How to Relieve Mouth Ulcers
Mouth ulcer is an extremely uncomfortable condition where open sores appear inside the area of the mouth.
To relieve the ulcer, you can apply relieving gels such as Bonjela that are sold over the counter in pharmacies.
However, if the gels are not available, you can relieve by smashing up a vitamin B12 or B Complex pill and apply it on the open sore. Repeat once every 3 or 4 hours- drink water prior to application and not after that. You will feel a bit uncomfortable but the pain goes off very fast.
Another traditional method used to relieve the sore - very painful but effective- is to rub the affected area with salt (ouch!). Very painful.
Constant Reoccurance of Mouth Ulcers
If you suffer from constant reoccurance of mouth ulcers, it could be an indication that:
- your immune system is not strong- this could be due to stress, imbalance diet
- a weak immune system makes the body more susceptible to fungal and bacteria infection
- mouth cancer (especially when the ulcer just refuse to heal)
Types of Mouth Ulcers
- Canker Sores
- Cold sores- caused by herpes simplex virus - the same virus that cause infection at the STD (sexually transmitted diseases)
Another Reason Why You Should STOP Buying Ice Drinks from Outside
Commercial ice had been known to be prepared under very unhygenic conditions- I will leave it to your imagination as to why the herpes simplex virus can get into the commercial ice- when the handlers did not wash their hands after visiting the bathroom. It’s gross but after discussing with a friend who had stayed a few years in UK, even he admited that he is aware of such a condition (and I thought the condition is only prevalent in Asia). Unfortunately, there is no cure for the virus. Once the virus gets inside you, it lies dormant in your body- then when your immune system weakens, the virus will act up by giving mouth ulcers.
Problem with Your Teeth & Kidney- could be related
In the book, Conversations with the Body by Robyn Elizabeth Welch, she mentioned that each tooth is energetically linked to a specific body part. According to her, the canine tooth is linked to the kidney. Here is the following quoted from her book:
’Slyvia came to me riddled with cancer that had been triggered by the emotional stress of dentistry. Her dentist had been struggling for years to save a canine tooth as Sylvia felt it important to avoid having a bridge in her mouth. But in spite of their best efforts, the dental work was unsuccessful.
Each tooth is connected energetically to a specific body part. The canine tooth, for example, is linked with the kidney. Sylvia’s kidney reacted to the trauma and disappointment about her tooth by setting up a malignant tumour. ‘
Robyn is a diagnostic medical intuitive- she has the rare ability to see inside the human body and diagnose from its energy field- restoring the well being. For Sylvia’s case, Robyn was able to heal the cancer even though it had spread to the liver. There are a lot of other guidelines that Robyn had provided in her book that I find to be useful and worth trying.
I want to share with you 3 real life examples to support a connection between tooth and kidney problem.
8 Ways to Detox Electromagnetic Energies from Your Body
Every day, we are exposed to electromagnetic rays from the electrical gadgets that we are exposed to as computers, handphones, TV. Our body constantly absorb radio signals and satellite transmission - so long as you live in town, these conditions are inevitable.
Have you experience the sensation when you touch a friend, your friend felt a small current going through his body? It could mean that perhaps, you are storing too much of these electromagnetic currents in your body and on the long run, it’s not healthy.
Our body conducts electricity and electromagnetic rays- very much like a tree does. That is why if we are strike by lighting, like the tree, electricity will use our body as the path to move towards the ground. And why do people find talking walks along jungle trails or places with lots of trees are soothing and make them feel rejuvenated? Not only it is due to the relaxed green colour that the eyes see, but our contact with nature and breathing in healthy air helps our body to feel rejuvenated. Therefore, I still believe that handphones and putting headphones in your ears connected to handphones, IPOD, MP3 are bad for your health in the long run.
This static and tiny particles of electric charges causes stress to your body cells and in turn, can contribute to emotional stress (which always happen when your body is feeling ‘one kind’). Therefore, it is important that you learn to detox these static energies from your body as often as you could.
How to Relieve Pain in Joints and Body
Do you suffer from pain in the joints and body that you can’t seemed to explain? Perhaps you have already been diagnosed with having osteoarthritis, or rhemautoid arthritis and wanting to find other ways to relieve the condition. Or you don’t have these conditions but wondering why you seemed to have chronic aches in the body.
If you suffer from any medical condition, please seek appropiate treatment from the doctors. However, I would like to recommend some holistic methods that may help you to relieve your discomfort:
Theory of Inflammation
Due to unsuited diet and inactive lifestyle, the body- fascias, joints and muscles may be inflamed. You could have eaten something that results an allergic reaction to your body- and that could escalate or cause the onset of autoimmunity diseases such as RA.
There are 4 lifestyle changes you can make to reduce pain and inflammation on your body:
1. Drink lots and lots of water
2. Reduce sugar intake as much as you can
3. Reduce intake of deep fried (even BBQ) food (especially meat)
4. Take fish oil tablets/supplements
5. Adequate exercise
6. Reduce caffeine like coffee/ tea.
Relieve Running Nose/ Sinus with Acupressure
From young, I had always suffer from sinusitis. When I was schooling, I used to wake up with running nose and I remembered my mom will take some cold medication back for me. After feeling very sleepy and struggling hard to stay awake (as the effect of some of the medication), I’ve decided to stop taking it and use tissues instead.
I’ve constantly have recurring episodes of sinus, especially during house cleaning. And I’ve learned to use the more expensive durable 3 layer tissue instead of the customarily 2 ply for my running nose. About 2 weeks ago, I was suffering from constant occurances of the running nose and my dustin was fast filling up with wet tissues (and I refused medication)- so I decided to do a few experiment myself:
1. Drink lots of water
I drank insanely lots of water- gulping down about 2 glasses of water in one sitting. I did it from morning till evening.
2. Acupressure
I did some research to find out the acupressure points to clear the ‘wind’ and damp elements from my nose. Refer to the picture below-not my face but it’s taken from a photo from the net 
Body Pain may be due to Chronic Sinus
Reuters published an article “Body Pain may be due to Sinus Trouble” with the title above dated 22 September 08 linking the connection between ongoing sinus inflammation in relation to body pains. It is said that especially on older adults, conditions may be diagnosed as arthritis, depression, fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome- is relieved once the patients undergo the sinus surgery.
Endoscopic sinus surgery is being recommended. Refer to ehealthMD for a better description about endoscopic sinus surgery whereby the possible advantages & complications are explained in brief.
Even though the study gives a ray of hope to those who are suffering from sinus AND body pains, I would not think it is a good idea to jump straight into the surgery because:
1. Effectiveness of sinus surgery in permanently curing sinus
2. Sinus happens when there is an allergic reaction- is our body’s way of warning us
Danger of Coffee Enema Treatments for Cancer
Coffee should be drunk and not inserted up your posterior- Dr Albert Lim (oncologist)
I have heard people recommending the use of coffee enema as a form of detoxification. Cancer patients are told to use the treatment to detox the toxins from the body. Pardon my ignorance but I have no idea that coffee enema treatment means shoving a tube from the anal and then put hot coffee into it.
Until I read the article on The Star dated 5 October 08- I was shocked. Even with the colon hydrotherapy- I have a lot of reservations about that- basically pumping water up the anus all the way to the digestive track (and if I am not mistaken, the water pressure had to be high in order to clean the intensines properly) seemed all wrong. If you want to maintain a good digestive health, you will need to practice good eating habits- drink lots of water, take fruits and veges. Eating fruits about 10 minutes after a glass of warm water first thing in the morning is good. On an empty stomach. Why I know it is good? Because I have tried it and I know of people I know who does it.
Think about it- if you shove pipes from the bottoms up- and clean it with water or coffee, few days later, the dirt or whatever will come back. Toxins take long time to accumulate in the body, you can’t just barbarically flush it off. And it’s worst, when the intensines are so ‘clean’ because the good bacteria obviously had been wiped out in the process, it opens to infections and indigestion. I know, after these treatment, the person normally have to abstain from certain food. But at that time, the entire intensine track is very vulnerable- it is opened to infection and attacks.
