            <title>Jaundice Causes, Symptoms and Treatment</title>
            <link>http://aana.busythumbs.com/entry_id/694428/action/viewentry/</link>
            <description>Jaundice in newborns and babies typically will occur due to the infants immature liver is not yet efficient enough to remove Bilirubin from the baby;s bloodstream. Bilirubin is the regular pigment created when the red blood cells begin breaking down in the body. This is typically processed by the liver which is then used and passed through in the baby's stool. Jaundice occurs when their body is creating too much Bilirubin. Also it could occur if the liver is not extracting it fast enough.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jaundice is a malfunction of the liver when too much of bilirubin is produced and the liver is unable to remove it, or if the liver has a defect and cannot remove the bilirubin from the blood and the third reason is when the bile duct is blocked and the flow of bilirubin and bile to the intestines is restricted. The bile duct could be blocked for several reasons like if the person has gall stones, cancer or an inflammation of the bile duct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jaundice may be caused by a diseased or damaged liver which affects the normal secretion of bile pigment. The flow of bile from the liver to the intestines may be blocked by gallstones, tumors or parasites. This type of jaundice is characterized by clay-colored stools and light yellow or brownish-green urine. The liver is enlarged in this case and could be damaged unless the obstruction is removed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jaundice is a symptom of hepatitis, jaundice causes your skin and your eyes appear yellow. The yellow color of the skin and eyes are caused by an excess amount of bilirubin. Bilirubin is a yellow chemical in hemoglobin which builds up in the body when the liver cannot handle the blood cells as they break down, body and your skin may look yellow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Causes&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The high level of bilirubin is the main cause of jaundice. However, it is better that we are able to understand how this chemical component of the blood is being released. The red blood cells are the ones responsible with the bilirubin. When these cells get old, they are naturally destroyed. Since the blood cells are the carriers of iron-content called hemoglobin that carries oxygen in the blood, this chemical is released from the destroyed cells.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Babies are born with a generous supply of red blood cells, which help transport oxygen. Over time, these red blood cells break down, forming bilirubin in the process. &lt;br /&gt;
Bilirubin is normally transported to the liver, where it's processed before being eliminated from the body. But newborns initially have more bilirubin than their livers can handle, and the excess causes their skin and, sometimes, the whites of their eyes to turn yellow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Berberis (Berberis vulgaris)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Berberis is a very effective herb for all kinds of liver ailments, especially jaundice. So effective is the herb that it is nicknamed ‘jaundice berry’. It is a bitter tonic which must be given to a jaundice patient several times a day in does of quarter teaspoons. The fluid extract of the fruit also has similar properties.&lt;br /&gt;

            <title>Know How to Remove Zits</title>
            <link>http://aana.busythumbs.com/entry_id/694426/action/viewentry/</link>
            <description>More and more people suffer the on set of zits everyday. Years back, most people thought that zits are only suffered by teenagers but that is simply not true. These are some of the tips on how to get rid of zits you can try to help you on your way to wage war against zits.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Keep your face clean. This means free of excess oil and free of dead skin cells and perspiration. To do this you need a non-oily cleanser and an exfoliate scrub. First use the scrub, but do not use it roughly - very gently clean the skin first with the scrub and then the cleanser. Wash your face with lots of water after this, leaving it perfectly clean and free of the products, and then pat your face dry. This whole process must be done gently - scrubbing at zits will not make them go away, but will in fact damage the surrounding skin with possible scarring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Home remedies for zits are all available in our own kitchens and there is not need to look any further. Depending on where you live and whether these ingredients are available there would be the only criteria. Some of the home remedies for zits are from oriental and Asian countries while others are available quite easily everywhere. Most of the remedies have healing properties and get rid of the inflammation of the zits and pimples leaving a small scab which dries up and falls off soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Citrus fruit rubbed on the face has been one of the home remedies for zits if you apply the juice directly on the mark. By the following day, the zit should be all but gone, or at least improved. Try adding the citrus juice to some green tea and applying it to the face. Both are good to use separately but great together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Use Orange Peel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want to get rid of zits, use orange peel. The reason is that orange peel has been found as the most effective treatment for zits. You only need to thump the orange peel along with water on a bit of stone and apply it on the acne affected area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 tablespoon of honey mixed with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon may be applied on the affected area before going to sleep. Rinse it off next morning for 3 consecutive weeks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rosehip Seed Oil&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the natural zit treatments is rosehip seed oil. The reason is that such impressive agent can rapidly get rid of zit scars. You will only need to apply this merger on your zit area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apply a mixture of 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder for half an hour on the affected area and then rinsing it off with warm water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Keep your hair away from your face. Hair can be oily and dirty (even if it doesn't appear to be) and it can transfer these oils and dirt to your skin. Try to keep your hair pulled back at night as well, to avoid having your hair touching your face while you sleep.&lt;br /&gt;

            <title>Balanced Diet – Keeps You Healthy</title>
            <link>http://aana.busythumbs.com/entry_id/694330/action/viewentry/</link>
            <description>An ideal balanced diet consists of adequate amounts of vegetables and fruits within calorie limits. Vegetables consumed should be all types like dark green vegetable, legumes, starchy vegetables, etc. several times a day. This helps to build the iron and zinc levels in your body. Each day's meal should contain whole grain meals, milk and milk products. Non-vegetarians should eat lean meats and fish, either baked, broiled or grilled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Balanced meal&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A healthy diet food program for weight loss essentially consists of eating a balanced meal on time. Your body needs just the right amount of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients in order to function properly. This means that you need to take in fat and sugar, two substances that most diet plans try to make dieters to do away with. If you look at the food pyramid, a balanced diet means getting ample servings of carbohydrates daily. This is contradictory to most diet plans available that says one needs to go on a low-carb diet to lose weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking too much of vitamins is also not required as excessive intake of vitamin can be harmful. For instance, excess intake of vitamins may lead to hair loss, blurry vision, fatigue, headaches and pain in bones. As an advice, restricting your diet to specific delicacies will not be helpful in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cereals, wheat and rice are need for starch, carbohydrates, Vitamin B and of course fibre. We should have 6 -8 servings daily. Dairy products like milk and cheese provide us with protein, calcium and vitamins like A, B2, B12 and D. Daily intake 2 -4. Vegetable and fruit for minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates and fibre. Daily servings 2 -3&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The problem with a balanced diet arises when you tend to eat some kinds of foods more than others probably because one is your favorite food. With this a healthy balanced diet becomes unhealthy though still balanced. So a balanced diet may be bad for you simply because of your peculiar need at the time, which could be due to health problem. For instance if you are diabetic, hypertensive, or do have a heart disease, a balanced diet may be unhealthy for you due to some kind of foods in the diet that makes it balance. Yes it is balanced but not for you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You must be able to distinguish the foods that are really good for you from those that you simply crave for. To develop a healthy and balanced diet, you must be aware of the nutrient contents of food. Foods contain different nutrients. One of the clues that you can use in trying to choose nutritious foods is their color. For example, the colors of vegetable can tell you about the nutrients found in them. It is wise therefore to buy different colored vegetables to make sure that you are getting a wide array of nutrients.&lt;br /&gt;

            <title>Get a Beautiful Skin with Skin Care Tips</title>
            <link>http://aana.busythumbs.com/entry_id/694054/action/viewentry/</link>
            <description>Our skin is highly fragile. Many triggers can cause your skin to develop certain skin conditions such as dry skin. Dry skin is one of the other most common skin conditions after acne. Sometimes known as winter itch, your skin can be especially dry, flaky and itchy. If the case is severe enough, you may even find your skin to crack or bleed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The right skin care tips acne prone individuals should follow are those that are essentially written by skin experts who know what kinds of ingredients and components can aggravate or help treat acne. The skin care tips acne sufferers and acne prone persons should heed are those that are given by dermatologists or plastic surgeons who have studied extensively on the subject and are licensed to dispense advice on all types of skin conditions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The number one thing to remember when it comes to skin care is clean skin makes all the difference. Make sure that you use a gentle yet effective cleanser in order to keep your skin clean. But along these same lines, remember that you should never over clean your skin. If you do, you may end up drying it out and causing yourself more problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the most important facial skin care tips is to maintain a healthy eating habit. By creating and sticking to a healthy diet, you will not only feel the benefits of it, but you will also see the benefits through a more lean body and most importantly you will notice it by the texture and complexion of your skin. Drinking a lot of water and eating healthy are important facial skin care tips that will not result in immediate improvement, but it will also be noticed as the years pass.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Natural dry skin care tips, is to drink plenty of water. Both winter and summer are factors that can dehydrate our skin and cause it to become dry. Wood stoves and other types of heat can cause the home to have low humidity levels which can be very drying to the skin. Hot showers cause the blood vessels to dilate and that results in loss of water, so you need to replenish the moisture in your body by drinking more water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another important part of a skin care solution is protecting your skin in extremely hot or cold climates. Extended sun exposure can lead to serious skin problems. A skin care solution can help ease the symptoms of various skin conditions. Dry skin, a common skin condition, can be caused by many factors. Dry skin can affect the entire body. Dry skin can be mild, moderate, or severe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cleanse your skin regularly (1-2 times everyday). A very effective skin care tip that helps in getting rid of the dirt and other harsh elements from your skin. Cleansing is especially important when you have been out of your house (and hence exposed to pollutants, dust etc). This skin care tip also advocates the use of Luke warm water for cleansing (hot and cold water, both, cause damage to your skin)&lt;br /&gt;

            <title>Ways to Get Rid of Dark Circles</title>
            <link>http://aana.busythumbs.com/entry_id/694053/action/viewentry/</link>
            <description>There are several reasons for the under eye darkness. Here are a couple of them. Dark circles often run in your family. Most likely if you have these dark circles under your eyes, then others in your family will have them too. People often relate this under eye darkening to fatigue, no sleep, or allergies. Allergies may cause this eye shadowing to occur. Age also creates your dark circles. Dark circles are very common, but most of us see them as dreadful and ugly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone gets dark circles under the eyes at various points of time in their lives. The dark circles are often temporary and are not harmful. Contrary to popular belief dark circles under the eyes are not caused by FATIGUE! One of the most common causes of dark circles under the eyes is nasal congestion. In nasal congestion the veins that drain from the eyes into the noses get widened and darker!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are some underlying problems that could be causing these under eye circles such as nasal congestion. Suffering from allergies, or having continuous sinus problems can contribute to dark under eye circles and can very well be the actual cause of them. If you suffer from such conditions, see your physician to treat this and possibly cure the circles as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some people have dark circles under their eyes no matter how much sleep they get or how stress-free their lifestyle. Sometimes, dark circles seem to happen for no reason. But do you know how to get rid of dark circles? Many people want to know how to get rid of dark circles, which can be difficult to conceal and can make you appear older than you are. Some dark circles seem to stick with us no matter what we do. How can you make those dark circles go away if the problem isn't too little sleep?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dark under eye circles will happen to almost everyone i.e. men women and children at one time or the other irrespective of age. Dark under eye circles are also thought to be hereditary in some cases but most of the time the causes are quite simply manmade. Some common causes of under eye circles are, stress, excessive sun exposure, dehydration and poor circulation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dark circles under the eyes are known to be signs of stress, lack of sleep, fatigue, malnutrition, allergies etc. They can have an enormous effect on your appearance. Luckily you can easily make them disappear naturally or by applying some some ingredients or products to the affected area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During your sleep, try applying a facial mask that helps with under eye puffiness. This may not reduce the dark coloring, but you can rid yourself of half of the issue and treat your skin in the meantime. These masks work during your sleep period to nourish skin. During the day you can apply things like cucumbers, or luke warm tea bags to your eyes to get rid of circling and other irritation. Reducing your intake of salt, and quitting with bad behaviors  like smoking, or eating fatty foods can also help dramatically.&lt;br /&gt;

            <title>Snoring Causes and Treatment</title>
            <link>http://aana.busythumbs.com/entry_id/693997/action/viewentry/</link>
            <description>Snoring is a disruptive sleep disorder that affects millions. Weight gain, sleep apnea, and nasal problems are several causes of snoring. There are numerous simple ways to stop snoring and allow your partner to enjoy a peaceful. Lifestyle changes may be required to prevent you from snoring. A doctor may recommend losing weight as a way to stop snoring. Being overweight is a common cause of snoring because of the extra bulkiness in the throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Snoring is caused by a vibration of the uvula and soft palate and is experienced by almost half of the population at some stage in life. Although it is often a topic for comedy sketches and jokes, snoring can be a very disruptive condition that can have serious social and marital effects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the common snoring treatments that are being appreciated is herbal treatment - that includes herbs of many types to treat the snoring problem. Household ginger is a very beneficial herb and can stop snoring problems. The ginger helps in escalating the discharge of saliva, which coats the throat and gives a soothing effect. The ginger mixed with honey can further lubricate the throat and along with snoring problems can bring an end to other cold problems too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Take a look at your diet. Although this probably won’t be the complete snoring treatment answer, it is worth starting with what you’re eating and drinking. You could well have intolerance to certain foods which affects your breathing, especially when lying on you back. For example, too much (or an intolerance to) dairy produce is likely to cause you to become blocked up with mucus, when horizontal, this collects causing heavy breathing and snoring. Alcohol is another common offender.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the most effective stop snoring treatments available are stop snoring exercises. These are basically exercises specially developed to exercise certain parts of your mouth, throat and face which tighten up the fatty tissue in your throat and airways. You can often see results within 30 days using these kinds of exercises.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another stop snoring remedy involves sleeping on your side. Of course, some sleeping habits are very hard to break as you've had a lifetime to perfect them but by sleeping on your side you are lessening the chance of your air passages becoming blocked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to stop snoring naturally is to pursue a fit and healthy way of life. This change of lifestyle would require less alcohol consumption, giving up smoking and eating healthy foods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CPAP is the most popular snoring treatment these days because it's non-invasive and safe. Traditional or laser surgery is not recommended as a snoring treatment for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as it could aggravate their conditions. Oral appliances work by gently advancing you lower jaw or tongue forward to create a wider opening in the air throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are many herbal treatments and cures for snoring that have flooded the market. These herbal snoring treatments and cures are formulated with natural herbs and enzymes and are usually safe from all side-effects.&lt;br /&gt;

            <title>Sleep Apnea Symptoms and Treatment</title>
            <link>http://aana.busythumbs.com/entry_id/693996/action/viewentry/</link>
            <description>Sleep apnea is a very serious sleep disorder affecting over 18 million American sleepers. It is a condition in which a person's breathing is continuously interrupted during sleep. The cessation of breathing can last from 10 seconds to as long as 60 seconds and occur more than a few times a night. If you find yourself unable to breathe properly at night and wake up gasping for breath, it is likely that you are suffering from sleep apnea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sleep apnea has the potential to be a life threatening condition, it's important to know the symptoms of sleep apnea in order to catch the problem before it's too late. Literally meaning without breath, apnea is when your snoring is interrupted by periods of breathlessness lasting 10 seconds or more. In many cases, this loss of breath is followed by an audible gasp for air. While some symptoms of sleep apnea are easily disguised as something else, such as morning headaches, forgetfulness or trouble concentrating, others are more specific to the disorder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Symptoms&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) Cessation of breathing while sleeping&lt;br /&gt;
2) Sudden awakenings&lt;br /&gt;
3) Loud and persistent snoring&lt;br /&gt;
4) Choking or gasping for air&lt;br /&gt;
5) Waking up in a sweat during the night&lt;br /&gt;
6) Feeling worn out in the morning&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most common type of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea, usually referred to as OSA. It happens because the throat closes completely during sleep. This happens because the suction forces that come from snoring cause the persons tongue and soft palate, to be sucked into the airway and block it. When the person wakes up, the muscles in the throat and tongue contract and the person starts to breathe again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
People who have sleep apnea stop breathing for periods of 10 to 30 seconds at the time they sleep. These short lapses in breathing can occur up to 400 times each night. There are 2 kinds of sleep apena: obstructive and a central. The obstructive apnea of sleep is the most common type of sleep disorder. Let us discuss the all possible ways of cure for sleep apnea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Diagnosis and treatment are really essential, and there are a number of treatments available for sleep apnea, including the treatment of the underlying cause. The most common treatment for obstructive sleep apnea is (CPAP) which stands for, continuous positive airway pressure. The usual treatment for children who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea is removal of the tonsils and also the adenoids. It must be noted that the treatment of sleep apnea can be surgical or nonsurgical.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Surgical therapy as a sleep apnea cure for obstructive sleep apnea is based on identifying the sites of airway obstruction, possibly the nose, the soft palate and the tongue. Most of those procedures have been used for years and clinical outcomes have verified their use. New techniques are continuously being evaluated and are only utilized when there is sufficient medical evidence to support efficacy and safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sleep apnea includes many effective treatment strategies such as medications, external appliances, and surgical procedures. The mechanical devices include continuous Positive Airway Pressure, Variable Positive Airway Pressure, Automatic Positive Airway Pressure, and Mandibular advancement splint. Surgical procedures such as tonsilectomy, adenoidectomy and uvulopalatopharyngoplasty are also proven treatments for sleep apnea.&lt;br /&gt;

            <title>How to Treat Chronic Back Pain</title>
            <link>http://aana.busythumbs.com/entry_id/692691/action/viewentry/</link>
            <description>Pain in the back is one of the most common medical complaints with nearly eight out of ten people suffering from it at one point or the other in their lives. Backache symptoms could be recurring, acute, and at times chronic. A recurrent back pain generally manifests itself after a period. Many people suffer from acute pain, wherein the pain generally disappears after a period of six weeks. Many of the home remedies are effective in treating such pains.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pain is a feeling that every individual experiences some time or other in one's lifetime. Injuries, cuts, surgery, kidney stones, childbirth, all these can produce pain of different intensities. Basically, there are two types of pain, acute pain and chronic pain. Acute pain is a warning from the body about some internal body problem and this pain resolves as soon as the cause for the pain is treated. Chronic pain means long term pain, which leads to frustration and anger and prevents the individual from enjoying life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have been facing persistent back pain symptoms and have been ignoring them so far, then it's now time to give it a serious thought. Pain in the back which is usually severe or gives out a burning sensation can be termed as &quot;Chronic Back Pain&quot;.chronic pain symptoms are usually faced due to inflammation of the spinal tissues and they last over weeks or even months.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have chronic back pain, you may feel depressed as it can really be unbearable. Chronic back pain results from poor posture, standing too long at work, or from a previous injury. Chronic back pain is also disabling and can affect your quality of life. While you can consume drug medications for pain relief, they may lose their effect as you ingest increasingly higher doses to help you stop the pain. Also, pain killers have various side effects. Hence, it is best not to become dependent on them. While there is no cure, you can consider choosing a natural treatment for chronic back pain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chronic back pain can also happen in the workplace or at home. For prevention, you should consider wearing a back brace at work when picking up heavy objects. Also, you should always bend at your knees when picking something up. Many bend at the waist to pick up heavy objects, causing strained back muscles, or back injury.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An important factor in the chronic low back pain treatment guidelines makes it necessary to state the cause of the back pain in a specific category, e.g. back pain caused by mechanical reasons like vertebra, facet joints, disc, spinous process, nerve root, and traverse process; or scoliosis, a congenital conditions. Other categories include infections, tumors and diseases apart from back pain due to injuries such as sports injuries or whiplash. When the chronic low back pain treatment guidelines were not defined&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Back pain is not treatable with anything other than pain medications. If you want to cure your back, you should work on it and not the pain. Do so by using a combination of exercises and mild inversion. Your back will reward you by stopping its screaming for good and thank you by providing you with the pain free mobility required to live an enjoyable life.&lt;br /&gt;
