Low Back Pain: Self-Help Activities
|
|||||||||||||||
|
Kathleen Sundmark over 4 years ago |
Description: Back pain is a very large topic and each branch should be a map in itself. However, I wanted to provide a single page overview of the choices available for many chronic or recurrent conditions. The map is not intended to replace appropriate medical or structural treatment if it is necessary. It provides supplemental activities which may be performed at home. The highlighted branches represent a variety of options for therapy during an episode of pain. A number of links are provided for more complete discussions and pictures of both the structures and exercises. Updated 11/29/08 to include bromelain. |

Sinus Problems: Natural Therapies

Description:
Sometimes a head cold doesn't quite clear up, or allergic symptoms transform into sinus problems. Even properly diagnosed, they are not always easy to treat. There are natural therapies which may expedite healing and reduce discomfort. This map is an overview of some available adjunctive therapies, but the displayed remedies are not intended to replace proper medical diagnosis or treatment. This map is a NM5 map. It is posted here as an image, but linked at the NM4 title to a website page where the hyperlinked PDF is available. |

Description: I use a number of natural remedies -- nutrients, ointments, poultices, etc. -- to manage many of life's minor scrapes and bruises. These maps offer a glimpse of the variety of simple, traditional, effective (when used at the right time) remedies available. Links are provided where possible. No single remedy is intended as a prescription for any specific problem or individual, but rather the intent is to provide information. |

Hypertension: Supportive Natural Therapies
|

Description:
High blood pressure is a serious problem and needs to be properly diagnosed and treated. There are, in addition to prescription medications, a number of natural blood pressure regulating substances and lifestyle changes which may enhance clinical response. This map offers a "starter" list of a variety of natural remedies, most with links. Some important ones are highlighted, but there is a wide variation in need and response. Any additions to a blood pressure regimen should be done with the approval of the prescribing physician. This map is for educational purposes only. This NM5 map is posted here as an image only, but linked in the NM4 title box to the website page where a fully hyperlinked PDF version is available. |

Macular Degeneration

|||||||||||||||

Kathleen Sundmark over 4 years ago |
Description: Macular degeneration is a serious eye problem. There are not many effective therapies, but the most appropriate care needs to be instituted -- ophthalmologic as well as physiologic -- in order to maximize function and minimize vision loss. This map is an overview only of some of the research on possible concurrent conditions, deficiencies, etc., which can be treated and which may (perhaps indirectly) help the eyes to remain more stable. It is intended to be descriptive and not specific for any individual case. |
