Black Hair Oil Treatments

admin Leave a comment

There are various treatments for black hair in terms of helping hair growth in men and women – oil treatments are popular for many thousands of years in various forms, and to some extent, they do work, and help hair growth at faster rates.

The article on Oils for Hair Growth for Black Hair explains the top listed oils for hair growth, one being called the Immortal’s Oil, as the most effective oil for hair care, hair growth and general hair well being – but of course oil is not everything, and that you need to care for your whole body and mind when taking care of yourself – the mind and emotions will have a direct effect on hormones, and these will have a direct effect on skin and hair.

Many people suffer from hormone imbalances without knowing enough – and they often hate to admit it, also many are undiagnosed, as this is something that doesn’t cause immediate pain, or life threatening, whilst it does greatly reduce quality of life, gradually, if not taken care of – the medical daoist communities believe that hormones are the power of your youth, that you can actually keep hormones with you, to a very old age, if you keep nutrition up, and keep working out enough, in enough ways (not just jogging, or just yoga, or just one aspect or type of exercise) – as well as caring for your hormones by not overeating.

That said – Black hair oil treatments are the same as any hair treatments, be it with oil, shampoo, soap or any other method of treatment. The main activity of hair growth has to still be supported, whilst these treatments are done – and this is consuming enough protein and collagen in the body, as well as sugar, fat and carbohydrates must be reduced or completely eliminated – this is a must as this reduces inflammation, and allows body cell renewal in the smoothest way possible (least amount of cell damage during replication).

This is just a general post on hair growth – so please do further research before taking action for any hair issues.

UK’s National Health Service improving Rapidly

admin Leave a comment

The National Health Service (NHS) of England is a health care system that is publicly funded for every person living in the United Kingdom. This is the largest health care system in the country that is single payer funded. The funds for this system come from tax money and is operated by the Department of Health. Many of the health services under NHS are free to the legal residents of England.

Emergency treatment and treatment for infectious diseases are free to all people in the country including visitors. The NHS is one of the largest healthcare systems around. They have seen a 12 percent growth in 2017 and keep on expanding. While they are looking to expand even further, there is a shortage of nurses. The number of doctors is even decline. The government is trying to encourage more qualified health care professionals to join NHS.

NHS is suffering from staff turnover. While the government is trying to keep this organization going strong, the cost of running a free health care program is starting to damage the financial stability of the country. The staff shortages are putting the care of patients at risk. While those that work for this system are passionate about health care, they do not get paid that much money. If the qualified professionals went to work at a different organization, they would make a lot more money and this is the issue. Even in the hospitals, patient need to wait until here is an open bed. Important procedures are being delayed due to the lack of staffing.

The government has been looking to reform the NHS and improve the funding. There was a power shift and the operations were left to the Clinical Commissioning Group. There have also been changes to this group in the recent times. Health care is not costing billions each year and the NHS did get a significant increase in funding for 2018- 2019. Spending per person is expected to increase by 3.5 percent. The company is also looking to change their operating model.

The model they were using was designed in the 1970s and since that time health care needs have changed. In addition to basic health care services the NHS will help cover the cost of prescription medications. They also have dentistry services and can assist a person with their optical needs. They have over 300 charities to help cover the cost of care so that their patients do not have to pay for service.

The Best Acupuncturists in London and Why

admin

Acupuncture treatments are on the rise in the UK, and generally it is a worldwide rise – but how would you find a good acupuncturist for treatment for your specific condition, as well as within London area?

According to BAL (Best Acupuncture London) – they say there are various levels of acupuncture, and dozens if not hundreds of systems and subsystems within acupuncture for various diseases and conditions – some work better for some, whilst not as effective for other disorders. It is said that acupuncture masters were the one who taught folk acupuncture (common acupuncture) to farmers to help with possible medical crisis in villages in China – these were known as Barefoot Doctors when directly translated into english.

The BAL team is the same team that set up the acupuncture licensing system in the western world, such as the United States and have come from the Orient (various countries) to set this up for helping people find the right kind of medical practitioner after treatment.

How does Acupuncture Work?

Acupuncture is actually an advanced science which we have yet to explore the extent of its capabilities – it works on an energetic level (yes this is still science and not magic or anything of that sort) by opening channels in the body to get a certain result – that said, a needle entered into the acupuncture point can have many intentions behind it, sometimes it is just to get a nerve reaction – and sometimes it is to target the acupuncture point, due to its positioning to help with a certain condition of the body.

Is Acupuncture Scientifically Proven?

It is contrary to popular belief, that we think acupuncture isn’t proven – but actually, it has well over 5,000 years of clinical history – this is more than modern medicine currently has – so it is almost insulting to ask that question of proven – it is more of the question, do you understand the clinical history and how to use it.

But the Meridians aren’t actually physically there, at least I never heard of them being there in Biology class?

The meridians were a long debated discussion in acupuncture – and strangely, even many acupuncturists don’t have a clear, easy to understand explanation of this – that said, this has been resolved and the answer was discovered by a Korean scientist (source here) who used a dye to discover the meridian pathways – these pathways are usually collapsed when the body is dead, hence autopsy could never reveal these in the past.

New Ambulance Response System – Service Response Time

The NHS is changing the way the emergency services respond and attend to those who are in need of medical attention. From 1st November, when you call 999, your emergency will be categorised into one of 4 categories.

Why Has there Been a Change?

Often times, ambulance services are measured on the time it takes for them to reach an emergency call which is often within 8 minutes. However, not all patients require such immediate attention which unnecessarily strains resources as sometimes more than one ambulance is sent at a time to reach the 8 minute target.

The Ambulance Response Team has been set up to overcome these inefficiencies so patients with life threatening emergencies can get help faster but also be transported quicker for proper treatment, first time round. This could mean that less serious cases may be referred to elsewhere or have to wait slightly longer but as a result, we increase the chances of saving someone with a life threatening emergency.

However, just because call handlers have more time to decide what service is required, it will not delay ambulances reaching you. Now, when you get connected to one of the handlers, they will ask you the following three questions:

Is the patient breathing?
Is the patient conscious?
Please describe exactly what happened.

They will then be grouping any 999 medical emergency call in one the following categories:

Category 1:
These are people with life-threatening injuries or diseases such as cardiac arrest or a serious allergic reaction.
Response time – 7 minutes

Category 2:
This is for emergency calls for conditions such as burns, epilepsy or strokes. The call handlers will advise what action to be taking until the ambulance arrives. A stroke patient under this new system can be taken for treatment quicker as the correct vehicle will be sent first time round.
Response time – 18 minutes

Category 3:
This is for urgent calls such as late stages of labour, non-severe burns and diabetes. This will include steps to take to treat in your home until the ambulance arrives. These calls will be responded to 90% of the time.
Response time – 120 minutes

Category 4:
This is for less urgent conditions such as diarrhoea, vomiting or urinary infection. Patients may be given advice over the phone or referred to a GP or pharmacist. These calls will be responded to 90% of the time.
Response time – 180 minutes

Emergency Alcohol Incidents: Drinking Safely

admin
Sourced from The Daily Mail 2017

In 2016, the NHS has received over 80,000 alcohol related, 999 emergency calls which requires about 7% of staff to deal with these emergencies. On the weekends, this number can be even higher with 1 in every 5 calls being from someone who has had too much to drink. Aside from the primary health concerns for the individual who has drunk too much, it also draws away limited resources from those who may need it more.

Binge drinking can not only end in a messy night out with cuts, scraps and bruises but also lead to more serious health problems such as liver failure and even death. However there are simple steps that you can take to ensure that you enjoy the night out safely.

 

  • Keep track of how much you have already had to drink. It is much easier to stop yourself going over the limit when you know how much you’ve had.
  • Organize how you will be getting back home and don’t leave it up to chance. Planning with a friend can help avoid any unwanted accidents.
  • Drink smaller drinks and of lower concentration. You can enjoy your night for longer without a severe hangover a potential call to 999.
  • Don’t feel influenced to drink a certain amount from peer pressure. You do not have an obligation to drink which may just make you ill.

 

Taking these precautions into account can help move resources to where it’s needed. London air ambulance services do not usually attend to alcohol related issues as they are easily accessible by other forms of emergency service such as the road ambulance or ‘Booze buses’ common in the West End however it still increases the workload for staff sifting through urgent calls and overcrowded hospitals.

In turn, this can affect our ability to respond as fast to life-threatening injuries elsewhere in London. Therefore, ensuring that you safely have a fun night can actually save someone’s life.

 

Some Facts and Figures

  • In 2014, there were an estimated 1.1 million people who were admitted to hospital directly or indirectly from alcohol consumption.
  • Alcohol related cases cost the NHS about £3.6 million a year. That is a staggering amount of resources that could have been utilized more efficiently.
  • Alcohol related crimes have cost the government around £10 billion a year.

 

But there is also good news. Thanks to the growing awareness of binge drinking and unsafe consumption, in 2016 we saw a decrease in overall consumption by about 18%, which has lessened the burden on our emergency services and the taxpayers.
