Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, is a symptom, not a disease. Causes include: exposure to loud noises, ear wax blockage, and reaction to medications, but it can also be caused by hearing loss. When you address the hearing loss, you can also remedy the tinnitus if a hearing aid is prescribed, as it can help reduce the perception of the ringing and discomfort. If you have ringing in your ears you should let a doctor know and have a hearing test to see if there is hearing loss as well.

It’s officially cold season, and not just for people. While dogs can’t “catch” a cold from their humans (the viruses that cause colds in people are generally species-specific), many viruses do infect dogs, such as canine adenovirus type 2, canine respiratory coronavirus, and canine parainfluenza virus. It’s important to see your veterinarian if your dog is ill, but the HB Naturals Cold & Congestion Essential Oils Blend is a natural and effective remedy to be used in conjunction with traditional veterinary care. The natural ingredients found in this product include Eucalyptus radiata, Cinnamomum camphora (Ravintsara), Melaleuca quinquenervia bs. viridiflora (Niaouli), and Cannabis sativa (hemp seed) oil.

Effective grounding of your electrical system to the earth will reduce electric fields in your home. All metallic parts of your electrical system, as well as the enclosures of your appliances, must be bonded to the system ground at your electrical service. This is to protect you from electrical shocks and prevent fires. Your electrical system is attached to a grounding plate or grounding rod buried in the earth. Over time, the connection to these grounding electrodes can become loose and corroded, which lessens the continuity of the grounding path. If you have an older home, it would be wise to have it checked.

Worrying is an understandable response to life stress – of course we want things to work out, so we can start thinking, planning, and directing our hopes and energies to our preferred outcome. We can try to solve or prevent a problem. But worrying can become an anxious habit of rehearsing terrible stories in our heads! Maybe it comes with bad sleep, poor concentration, being extra jumpy or watchful, or getting easily upset. Sometimes we can even have physical discomfort or even panic. Counselling can provide a safe place to work out different approaches, to feel heard, and to get a neutral perspective on things.

Magnetic and electric fields of energy that occur as a result of electrical wiring errors is a known stressor of our immune systems. Our bodies are controlled by exquisitely small currents and voltages. These natural currents of energy are easily disrupted by the very large induced currents in our bodies that are a result of unnatural, manmade electricity. Humans have evolved and remained healthy as a result of welcoming natural radiations from the sun. Manmade energy, because it is so different from natural radiations, is not helpful for the function of our cells. Unfortunately, our bodies cannot identify bad electromagnetic energy and they welcome this energy into the cells, which may result in illness.

When someone has moderate hearing loss they will hear relatively well if you are talking to them face to face in a quiet environment but will not hear well if you are walking away from them, in a different room, or if noise is present. People with hearing loss may be unaware of the extent of it: that’s where loved ones come in. Family members who have grown frustrated with them not being able to hear are the ones to prompt them to get a hearing test. Encourage them to have their hearing tested, you will be doing them and yourself a big favour in the long run.

We are often on a quest for improvement, striving for an ideal of a better version of ourselves. What if we could feel good about how our skin and health feel right now? What if we were to shift our thinking and focus on honouring how our skin serves us so well, protecting us from external pathogens, yet sensitive enough to feel the light touch of a breeze. Focus on ways to view self care as something you find pleasure in, rather than a chore. By finding joy in the process of our daily routine, we can use it as a time to ease tension and gain acceptance of ourselves.
