Help Me Save My Marriage

admin — Sun, 09 May 2010 19:00:35 +0000

Help me save my marriage! Is this cry echoing inside your head? Are you searching for a solution to the problems that are threatening to blow up your marriage? Then you are doing the right thing, right now; by getting more information about how to deal with the common problems in a marriage.

Common problems in a marriage can cover a number issues, irritations, and insecurities. However, we are not talking here about things like squeezing the toothpaste tube in the middle or leaving the toilet seat up. These things are irritations and if they destroy a marriage, it is because the partners did not have the strength of commitment and communication to be married in the first place.

The marriage problems that can destroy a marriage usually fall into three general categories:

1. Jobs, roles and money

2. Fidelity and loyalty

3. Communication and trust

Each of these categories can be the home for a problem in a marriage that can bring so much tension, anger and distrust into the marriage, that it can destroy the union. Each area is important but nearly all marriage-counseling professionals will agree that without communication and trust, the rest can’t be resolved.

It is time to ask yourself some questions in order to increase your chances of saving your marriage:

1. Did you see it coming?

2. Are you looking to assign blame to someone?

3. How deep are your feelings of resentment, distrust or disrespect?

If you were shocked and amazed when your partner declared they did not want to be married to you anymore, why was that? Too focused on your job or another area of your life? You need to answer this question so you know what was going on or you have no hope of fixing the problem.

Take the time to ask yourself if your search for information is really about saving your marriage or are you trying to find an answer that will help you blame someone else or some other area of your life. As marriages unravel, there is plenty of blame to go around. Make sure you look inside yourself.

Finally, it is critical that you assess your feelings for your partner going forward. Have the circumstances simply tested the love and commitment in the marriage or are deeper and darker emotions gaining strength in this crisis? If one or both partners are feeling strong or deep-seated resentment, lack of trust or respect for the other, a solution may be very hard to find.

Herbs to Enhance Cognition and Ward Off Dementia

admin — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 17:20:39 +0000

It is never too early to take preventative measures from senility or dementia. Our mind can be our greatest ally and our biggest obstacle. Most of us have probably experienced memory loss for some reason; alcohol overindulgence, stress, anger… and personally I don’t know of anything scarier. Exercising and feeding the mind to ward of dementia is a serious responsibility we all need to meet.

Through consulting with a naturopath or medical herbalist, you can reduce the chances of early onset dementia. Herbs such as bacopa, ginkgo biloba and lemon balm are well used for enhancing cognitive function. In an Australian clinical trial the long-term effects of Bacopa on cognitive function was examined. The findings indicated that Bacopa significantly improved the speed of visual information processing, verbal learning rate and memory consolidation. For those with a family history of dementia, or with compromised mental capacity, it would be worth discussing the use of Bacopa with their health professional.

Ginkgo biloba has been studied for its effect on dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease. As it is an antioxidant, circulatory stimulant (particularly to the brain), cognition enhancing and neuroprotective it is no wonder scientists want to test it with people suffering Dementia, senility and Alzheimer’s. Studies have indicated improvements in cerebral blood flow, motor recovery, mood and behaviour, intellectual performance and memory. It hasn’t proven efficacious to those with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s or vascular dementia, but works well as a preventative, and in the earliest stages of dementia. It is essential to consult with a Medical Herbalist or Pharmacist before taking Ginkgo biloba as it may interact with certain medications particularly warfarin and aspirin.

Lemon balm is a part of the Lamiaceae family, which has received much press lately as being effective for Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease. Lemon balm was a favourite ingredient in many a medieval “elixir of youth”, its use as a neurological tonic is as historic as history itself. Early Arabic and European texts show Lemon balm was used to treat depression, anxiety and memory loss.

Working with diet and herbs there is a great chance of preventing senility and dementia. They also have a great side effect of feeling great and having enhanced cognition and concentration, making the mind way more effective and efficient. Working alongside a Naturopath or Medical Herbalist is an amazing chance to optimise your life and getting the most out of this journey – without needlessly suffering from dementia and other age-related diseases. Good health is by choice, not by chance. Who will look after you if you become incapacitated with senility or dementia? If you can’t take this step for yourself, then take responsibility of your health for your children or partner or community, so they don’t have to look after you and you can enjoy the ageing process, and the seeds you have spent your life sowing.
