The name lavender comes from the Latin root lavare, which means "to wash." Lavender oil having a mossy, woody scent is used for stress-related and nervous conditions. Lavender oil is often used in other forms of medicine, such as massage, acupuncture, and chiropractic manipulation. Try putting a few drops of Lavender oil on the pillow for a restful night of sleep.

Dr. William Sears Discusses Omega-3 & Nutrition Deficit Disorder Part 1

Dr William Sears, known as America's pediatrician, has been educating, uplifting and motivating parents through his parenting books. I was reading an article by Dr Sears on  Is It NDD (Nutrition Deficit Disorder) and not ADD and would like to share an exerpt from that article.

According to Dr Sears: The brain, more than any other organ, is affected for better or worse by what we eat. If a child is a junk food addict, their brain is the first thing that will be affected. A growing body of research points to the impact of nutritional deficiencies – especially with essential fatty acids – on the brain’s ability to affect learning and behavior. Studies continue pouring out citing Omega-3 as the single most important nutrient in the cognitive development of children.

I have several of Dr Sears Books which include the NDD book as well as The Successful child and The Family Nutrition Book. These books are packed with nutritional information that will help you adapt to and live a  more healthier lifestyle for you and your family. In these books he combines advice not just for children but for the entire family.

Pick up one of these books for your family and get started on a better and healthier lifestyle.

Go Green With Plants

Looking for a cheaper, simple way to go green? Go green with house plants and this awesome video from better tv shows you what plants to get and how many you should have for cleaner air. I love house plants and have many in my home. House plants make people feel calmer and more optimistic, says Bruno Cortis, M.D., a Chicago cardiologist. Did you know tha plants can  remove a variety of  toxins from your home like ammonia and carbon monoxide? Plants can also help you fight colds. Last winter as I added more plants to my home  I noticed that my family didn't catch colds as much. According to an article that I read on Six Wise one study published in Rehabilitation Literature, a manufacturing company integrated plants into its office so that no employee would be more than 45 feet from greenery. The result? Company administrators said they noticed enhanced creativity and increased productivity in employees. Check out this website that gives the top ten house plants that includes my favorite the Peace Lily.http://www.care2.com/greenliving/top-ten-houseplants-for-cleaner-air.html
