Natural Remedies For Insomnia
Insomnia is a nightmare. The more exhausted you are - the harder it is to sleep. And taking prescription or over the counter medicine can cause addiction and disturbing side effects, which can make insomnia worse.
Insomnia can be due to many causes; such as, anxiety, caffeine, depression, low blood sugar, nutritional deficiencies, pain, reaction to prescribed medications, restless leg syndrome, sleep apnea, stress, tension and thyroid gland disturbances. There are also several types of insomnia.
Natural approaches for a good night sleep include avoiding certain foods, foods and beverages containing caffeine, getting enough exercise and proper nutrition, and practicing relaxation techniques.
Going to bed hungry can cause problems sleeping. Eating an ounce or two of a low fat, low protein, sweet, starchy food one hour before bedtime has been as effective as a sleeping pill for many people. Salty foods should be avoided at bedtime, they stimulate the adrenal glands.
Increasing your consumption of foods rich in iron and copper may improve your quality of sleep. When nervous tension causes sleep problems, drinking carrot juice combined with apple, grape, papaya, pear or pineapple juice may also be of help.
When a regular exercise program is part of your daytime schedule, an after dinner stroll or routine gentle bending and stretching exercise before bed can help relax tense muscles and help with the onset of sleep.
Supplements unlike pharmaceutical medicine, lead to a more natural sleep. In addition to a daily multivitamin-mineral supplement, separate supplements may be beneficial.
Vitamin B complex plus extra B5 (pantothenic acid) and B6 (pyridoxine) and inositol help promote a restful state.
A lack of the nutrients calcium and magnesium will cause you to wake up after a few hours of sleep and then not be able to return to sleep.
Melatonin (a natural occurring hormone) used as a supplement may be a natural aid to better sleep. Additional health benefits include its role as an antioxidant, stimulation of the immune system and several parts of the endocrine system. It does not alter your sleep pattern like many prescription sleeping pills and it does not impair performance related skills.
Tryptophan (an essential amino acid) is found to be a safe and a reasonably effective sleep aid. Possibly due to its ability to increase levels of serotonin (a calming neurotransmitter). Foods with plentiful tryptophan include chocolate, oats, bananas, mangoes, milk, eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese, red meat, fish, poultry, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame, chickpeas and peanuts.
Using herbs such as catnip, chamomile, hops, lady slipper, lavender, passion flower, skullcap and valerian root (capsules or extract) are all good and may help the insomniac.

ClawFoot Bath Tub Bathing your dog-do you have a special tub?
Does anyone have any experience with the PAWS FOR THOUGHT Tub for dogs. I have 2 aussie pups that I am rinsing off and bathing often. I do not have a regular bath tub, I have fancy clawfoot champagne tub that I can't put a dog in, totally regret that choice. my other option is showering with them which is not fun. PAWS FOR THOUGHT is a regular dog bathing system, but I know many things are great in advertising. has anyone had any experience with this washing system or do you have a suggestion that would work as opposed to that. Right now I have a hose hookup in my laundry room with a plastic bin which is fine now but when they are bigger not so sure. Is there another set up that I could use.
thanks
my pups love to get in the lake and get sandy, plus they go to doggie day care and they smell after a few days.
Get one of those plastic swimming pools from any pet place and use a hose, that should work, of course this is the cheap way out.
I have a refinshed clawfoot tub in soft pink. Can someone help with the rest of the bath.?
The bath is gutted, so it is a clean slate. I need suggestions for floor and walls.
Ivory or cream tiles and walls. I'm a true romantic at heart, so I would do that bath in a Shabby Chic style. Lots of roses and lace, make it a "girly" bathroom. Pedestal lavatory in a reproduction style, Old looking faucets and light fixtures.
Just moved into a new house. We're doing a southwest style throughout. We have a half bath that has an oval shaped mirror over a pedestal sink. Above the toilet is a towel bar. I have never seen a towel bar in a half bath; usually just a ring or two. Should I keep the towel bar and buy decorative towels to hang? Would it look funny if I hung bath towels on the towel bar or should I just hang a hand towel in a ring and put a nice picture above the toilet? I need help
Would it look bad if I hung the towel bar underneath a picture (on top of toilet) with decorative hand towels? Right now the towel bar is in the spot where a picture would be hung. I would hang the bar across from the sink but that's where the door is. Thanks.
Personally, I would remove the towel bar from above toilet. I would hang picture in its place. I would not put anything else on that wall above toilet, other than picture. I would move bar across from sink and place decorative hand towels on it (typically 3 work well) It's ok if the door opens to that wall. Many 1/2 baths still have towel rack on wall across from sink, regardless of door. If you choose not to do that, then put a towel ring next to sink.
Turning your home or office into hadicap accessible area
It is important for people with disability whether temporary or permanent to continue their everyday jobs and chores with ease and comfort. If you are planning to make your home or office handicap friendly and accessible, then you may want to check the simple yet helpful guidelines below:
Home Tips:
Doors: It should be wide enough to allow walker and wheelchair access. If the doorway is positioned in a typical hallway and needs turning a wheelchair, then you will need a wider door and floor space.
Bathtubs: Bathtub and shower grab bars should be installed in order to provide support. You can also place a tub transfer seat that allows persons to sit in the tub and take a bath or shower. In this way, the person does not necessarily have to lower himself to the tub floor.
Toilet seat: The height can be customize and adapted from one individual to another. It can be replaced with raised seats or other special units. Installing toilet grab bars can be very useful in providing individuals safety transfer from and to a wheelchair.
Sinks and faucets: Vanity cabinets may be removed from below the sink. Pedestal style sinks can provide more space to maneuver. You can also replace faucets with single lever controls. But consider using an anti-scald temperature control to prevent water temperature from going beyond its limit.
Office Tips:
Office location: The workplace must be located as near as possible to public transportation routes - subway stops and bus shelters. There must be curb cuts in the blocks around the building for people using wheelchairs or scooters.
Parking space: Persons with disabilities should be reserved with designated parking areas and properly marked. It must be next to the building entrance. Spaces should be enough to have room when transferring from wheelchair to vehicle.
Buildings: It should be visibly marked with suitably big and legible signage to prevent any difficulty for people with visual disabilities. The signage must be immediately noticeable upon entering the building. It has to indicate locations of elevators, offices, rest rooms and other facilities.
Travel path: When there is a change in level of travel path inside or outside the building, elevators, ramps or other facilities should be provided. This allows the person to reach the other level without the need to use the stairs or escalators.
Entrances: Building entrances must have electric, automatic hinged or sliding doors except when existing doors are wide enough to accommodate passage of wheelchairs. The doors must permit trouble-free clearance for people in wheelchairs when opened.
Rest rooms: Its doors are recommended to be automatic. There should be at least 1 sink reachable to persons using wheelchairs. Horizontal bars should be positioned on the wall side of the stall closest to the toilet. Soap or towel dispensers must be also reachable to persons in wheelchairs.
The guidelines mentioned will not only provide our handicap friends with convenience but most importantly it can help them become more productive and efficient individuals despite their health conditions.
