		<description><![CDATA[ What causes anxiety? Well if we all knew that wouldnt life be a bed of roses Being able to nip it in the bud (excuse the pun) before it causes the damage it is capable of like interfering and preventing a person from leading a normal life There are many different theories behind the cause but because each of us differ it makes it more difficult to pin point the specific reason behind its beginning Losing control of your thoughts and actions to an extent that no matter what you say or do is out of your jurisdiction, it is then medical help is strongly advised There is evidence that anxiety concerns develop from physical means like an over active thyroid gland which controls different body functions Anxiety and drugs (types of medication) is sometimes not a match made in heaven so it is important to talk to your doctor before taking any tablets/pills from over the counter that you are not familiar with Stressful events past or present are main factors also queried behind a persons anxious moments If depression/anxiety runs in the family then there is an increased risk or possibility that history may repeat itself We all have anxious moments but it is how we deal with these upsets which is the important thing Anxiety can be brought on by the least little thing but common factors like losing a job, moving house, and parting of the ways from a partner are just a few to mention To deal with these depressing events we have to learn to cope By conquering the coping process you will notice your depression/anxiety symptoms easing Relaxation classes like yoga have a great effect on patients who suffer from emotional disturbances in their mind body and soul Anxiety does affect people in diverse ways Many patients experience anxiety chiefly through emotional /psychological symptoms, while others suffer from physical effects Either way both are powerful enough to destroy Anyone at anytime can become affected by anxiety Anxiety is diagnosed as a mental health disorder Five per cent of the population at some stage in their lives have had an anxiety or depressive bout where it has left them feeling agitated and concerned for their health Irregular pace of the heartbeat speeding up has given some people reason to believe that their experience of anxiety or a panic session is that of a heart attack Reclaim your mind body and soul naturally if modern science is not your way of dealing with such health matters of which I hasten to add has proven to be very successful in the healing process for anxiety Natural courses of herbal remedies are readily available but first and foremost consider Yoga To relief stress that comes with everyday commitments then why not follow the millions of people who have chosen yoga to seek peace of mind This form of exercise is a proven way in getting results (Thus depending on the patients requirements or severity of his/her condition) Does yoga help]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ A person tries so hard to hide it even from him/herself Panic attacks come on like a heart attack without a warning It is a very similar feeling and hard to detect which makes it even scarier When a person has a panic attack they are frozen in fear This is not cowardice Panic attacks become a private hidden secret inner prison that destroys a person’s life and self-esteem I believe a defective gene causes panic attacks that is inherited, or a chemical imbalance in the brain Too few people understand panic attacks and anxiety disorders including those who have to live with them Panic attack disorders turn a person’s life into a hidden secret prison of fear causing anger and a lack of understanding, from family, friends and even more from one’s self Panic attacks are not a feeling or a fear that one has control over This is a fear that freezes a person so that he/she is not always able to get past it The person that lives with it is the person that hurts the most They rarely get understanding or emotional support from anyone including themself, and are subject to a lack of compassion and insensitivity This disorder does not always come from a way of thinking, or a bad past experience, although that could trigger it more This disorder has not been studied enough to know the true causes of it The public is not well informed concerning the facts about Panic disorders and anxiety People who have panic attacks want to live, not just exist They want a fear free normal life, but are locked in a secret inner prison of fear For some there is no escape People that live with this disorder are braver than anyone knows, for they have to find courage for doing things for every day pleasure To live a normal life for someone with a panic attack disorder takes extreme courage and is not always possible Sometime this courage comes and sometime the person is frozen in fear The chest tightens, there is no way to handle the fear factor, the feeling that is paralyzing and comes from out of nowhere Medications do not always alleviate the panic attacks, A person does not choose to have panic attacks, Who would choose to live in a prison of fear? A person who lives with panic attacks does not truly live,we merely exist Panic attacks are I think a abnormal gene just the opposite of those who seek extreme danger and excitement ,which is also a abnormal reaction to the fear factor More on theory thoughts and feelings about panic attacks I am not a doctor or a professional person, but I am a person that lives with panic attacks and I read information on subjects that interest me, also write my theory,thoughts and feelings concerning them People give so many varied points of view on how one should deal with them Persons that have panic attacks not only have to deal with the panic attacks ,they have to deal with people who have a lack of understanding and arguments at the same time I've had attacks recently on my spirituality and faith, that I should put my panic attacks in God's hands and He will take them away I do have a strong belief in God but there are some things He doesn't do and I do not question God and why He doesn't do them Such as bringing a deceased loved one back to life although He did bring Lazarus back it's not a common practice for Him I don't blame God for my misfortunes and I am slowly learning not to blame myself God does not always change the natural order of nature or things in nature that go wrong ,such as earth quakes,they happen and He does not stop them and He does not stop my panic attacks There are those who say face your fears, just do it any way, But that does not work for me, I can not force these feelings to go away or overcome them, Then there is medication which helps to a point but does not totally end the situation Than there is knowledge that you are having one,knowing helps to a certain extent,understanding one's self and realizing it is a panic attack that a person is having,but it doesn't totally stop them either There is a lack of understanding from others Those that have had them and overcome them can sometime have the least understanding, They feel they overcome their fears why can't I? But not everyone is the same or has the same degree of panic attacks and fears I have always believed it to be a generic disorder and have read studies about the release of endorphins in the brain some people's brain release too much and some too little,both or disorders,one causing panic attacks the other causing a need for excitement and danger Panic attacks is a condition very hard to understand or live with, But the good news is those that have panic attacks are afraid to kill themselves and are highly unlikely to commit suicidesmiles Bio Of Judy Arline Puckett I am currently residing in Monroe, La I begin writing at the age of 11, and I’m 54 now I am the mother of three and the grandmother of five I love creative writing, poetry, digital art, art, photography, jazz, and blues music I write poetry and lyrics on every topic War, peace, love, heartache, religion, and abortion, which I oppose I hope to write meaningful and worthwhile words that will touch hearts and make a difference in life "A poet is the voice for those who are without words" - Judy Arline Puckett ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ A subject that seems to be taboo is mental and emotional illness If a person has a physical illness or handicap we are quick to show concern and understanding It seems too many of us seem to feel emotional and mental illness is something to be ashamed of or avoided The world lacks understanding and empathy for mental and emotional illness Too few of us realize that there are those who have suffered emotional and mental illness; that have contributed to the world in a way that centuries later their work is still preserved An artist like Van Gogh is the perfect example It seems that who we choose to associate with reflects our own perception of which we are When it’s someone less than perfect we feel less than perfect through our association with him or her We expect people to do, act, and react in a certain way I wonder if we are angry at their imperfections or are the ones we see in our self Some people have panic attacks There is a lack of understanding or empathy We as a country have made mental and emotional illness into something to be ashamed of So many people suffer many forms of emotional and mental illness but remain quiet, suffering alone to avoid being labeled People seem to believe they need to identify with perfect minds, bodies, faces, and mental and emotional well being Television and theater have captured our minds and thoughts of how we should be We are afraid to know who we really are No acting for me anymore; personally I’m ready to walk off stage, and just be true to myself Welfare and Disablity To qualify for any type of government assistance, welfare, disability, housing, each person is carefully screened and needs proof of their situation Welfare has become a slave labor program,because the employers that hire people on welfare or exempt from paying min wage and also receive a tax break Anyone that works should be entitled to min wage according to our min wage law,that is equal pay of min wage,regardless of race,nationality or handicap Our government breaks that law and allows others to do so when hiring persons who receive welfare To receive any type of disability be prepared for a very long hard battle Your personal medical records aren't enough You are sent to the doctors who are hired by SS, and in their view you are capable of workingGoing to court takes years and possibly more than one time for disabled to receive funds These needy people who have no means of transportation have endles appointments to go to for screening They can't always rely on family or friends When you are in need you feel very alone and ashamed,sometime too embarrassed to ask for help Perhaps that is the cause of some suicides For those who believe that people can automatically receive money from the government do not know how well people are screened Than when you finally receive disability,it is about $57400 a month Imagine living on that and also imagine not having any means of transportation People on government assistance live in proverty or below proverty levelThose who live on low income are ashamed because of society's lack of acceptance people who receive government assistance People that receive government assistance do so because of need often at the cost of their self respect, self esteem, pride and dignity Bio Of Judy Arline Puckett I am currently residing in Monroe, La I begin writing at the age of 11, and I’m 54 now I am the mother of three and the grandmother of five I love creative writing, poetry, digital art, art, photography, jazz, and blues music I write poetry and lyrics on every topic War, peace, love, heartache, religion, and abortion, which I oppose I hope to write meaningful and worthwhile words that will touch hearts and make a difference in life "A poet is the voice for those who are without words" - Judy Arline Puckett ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ If you are having sleep problems, whether you are not able to fall asleep, wake up too often, don't feel well-rested when you wake up in the morning, or simply want to improve the quality and quantity of your sleep, try as many of the following techniques below as possible: * My current favorite for insomnia is Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Most people can learn this gentle tapping technique in several minutes EFT can help balance your body’s bioenergy system and resolve some of the emotional stresses that are contributing to the insomnia at a very deep level The results are typically long lasting and the improvement is remarkably rapid * Listen to White Noise or Relaxation CDs Some people find the sound of white noise or nature sounds, such as the ocean or forest, to be soothing for sleep An excellent relaxation/meditation option to listen to before bed is the Insight audio CD * Avoid before-bed snacks, particularly grains and sugars This will raise blood sugar and inhibit sleep Later, when blood sugar drops too low (hypoglycemia), you might wake up and not be able to fall back asleep * Sleep in complete darkness or as close as possible If there is even the tiniest bit of light in the room it can disrupt your circadian rhythm and your pineal gland's production of melatonin and seratonin There also should be as little light in the bathroom as possible if you get up in the middle of the night Please whatever you do, keep the light off when you go to the bathroom at night As soon as you turn on that light you will for that night immediately cease all production of the important sleep aid melatonin * No TV right before bed Even better, get the TV out of the bedroom or even out of the house, completely It is too stimulating to the brain and it will take longer to fall asleep Also disruptive of pineal gland function for the same reason as above * Wear socks to bed Due to the fact that they have the poorest circulation, the feet often feel cold before the rest of the body A study has shown that this reduces night wakings * Read something spiritual or religious This will help to relax Don't read anything stimulating, such as a mystery or suspense novel, as this may have the opposite effect In addition, if you are really enjoying a suspenseful book, you might wind up unintentionally reading for hours, instead of going to sleep * Avoid using loud alarm clocks It is very stressful on the body to be awoken suddenly If you are regularly getting enough sleep, they should be unnecessary I gave up my alarm clock years ago and now use a sun alarm clock The Sun Alarm™ SA-2002 provides an ideal way to wake up each morning if you can't wake up with the REAL sun Combining the features of a traditional alarm clock (digital display, AM/FM radio, beeper, snooze button, etc) with a special built-in light that gradually increases in intensity, this amazing clock simulates a natural sunrise It also includes a sunset feature where the light fades to darkness over time - ideal for anyone who has trouble falling asleep * Journaling If you often lay in bed with your mind racing, it might be helpful keep a journal and write down your thoughts before bed Personally, I have been doing this for 15 years, but prefer to do it in the morning when my brain is functioning at its peak and my coritsol levels are high * Melatonin and its precursors If behavioral changes do not work, it may be possible to improve sleep by supplementing with the hormone melatonin However, I would exercise extreme caution in using it, and only as a last resort, as it is a powerful hormone Ideally it is best to increase levels naturally with exposure to bright sunlight in the daytime (along with full spectrum fluorescent bulbs in the winter) and absolute complete darkness at night One should get blackout drapes so no light is coming in from the outside One can also use one of melatonin's precursors, L-tryptophan or 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) L-tryptophan is the safest and my preference, but must be obtained by prescription only However, don't be afraid or intimidated by its prescription status It is just a simple amino acid * Get to bed as early as possible Our systems, particularly the adrenals, do a majority of their recharging or recovering during the hours of 11PM and 1AM In addition, your gallbladder dumps toxins during this same period If you are awake, the toxins back up into the liver which then secondarily back up into your entire system and cause further disruption of your health Prior to the widespread use of electricity, people would go to bed shortly after sundown, as most animals do, and which nature intended for humans as well * Check your bedroom for electro-magnetic fields (EMFs) These can disrupt the pineal gland and the production of melatonin and seratonin, and may have other negative effects as well To purchase a gauss meter to measure EMFs try Cutcat at 800-497-9516 They have a model for around $40 One doctor even recommends that people pull their circuit breaker before bed to kill all power in the house (Dr Herbert Ross, author of "Sleep Disorders") * Keep the temperature in the bedroom no higher than 70 degrees F Many people keep their homes and particularly the upstairs bedrooms too hot * Eat a high-protein snack several hours before bed This can provide the L-tryptophan need to produce melatonin and serotonin * Also eat a small piece of fruit This can help the tryptophan cross the blood-brain barrier * Reduce or avoid as many drugs as possible Many medications, both prescription and over-the-counter may have effects on sleep In most cases, the condition, which caused the drugs to be taken in the first place, can be addressed by following the guidelines elsewhere on this web site * Avoid caffeine A recent study showed that in some people, caffeine is not metabolized efficiently and therefore they can feel the effects long after consuming it So an afternoon cup of coffee (or even tea) will keep some people from falling asleep Also, some medications, particularly diet pills contain caffeine * Alarm clocks and other electrical devices If these devices must be used, keep them as far away from the bed as possible, preferably at least 3 feet * Avoid alcohol Although alcohol will make people drowsy, the effect is short lived and people will often wake up several hours later, unable to fall back asleep Alcohol will also keep you from falling into the deeper stages of sleep, where the body does most of its healing * Lose weight Being overweight can increase the risk of sleep apnea, which will prevent a restful nights sleep * Avoid foods that you may be sensitive to This is particularly true for dairy and wheat products, as they may have effect on sleep, such as causing apnea, excess congestion, gastrointestinal upset, and gas, among others * Don't drink any fluids within 2 hours of going to bed This will reduce the likelihood of needing to get up and go to the bathroom or at least minimize the frequency * Take a hot bath, shower or sauna before bed When body temperature is raised in the late evening, it will fall at bedtime, facilitating sleep, * Remove the clock from view It will only add to your worry when constantly staring at it 2 AM3 AM 4:30 AM * Keep Your Bed For Sleeping If you are used to watching TV or doing work in bed, you may find it harder to relax and to think of the bed as a place to sleep * Have your adrenals checked by a good natural medicine clinician Scientists have found that Insomnia may be caused by adrenal stress (Journal of Clinical Endocrinology Metabolism, August 2001; 86:3787-3794)? * If you are menopausal or perimenopausal, get checked out by a good natural medicine physician The hormonal changes at this time may cause problems if not properly addressed * Don't Change Your Bedtime You should go to bed, and wake up, at the same times each day, even on the weekends This will help your body to get into a sleep rhythm and make it easier to fall asleep and get up in the morning * Make certain you are exercising regularly Exercising for at least 30 minutes everyday can help you fall asleep However, don't exercise too close to bedtime or it may keep you awake Studies show exercising in the morning is the best if you can do it ------------------- Dr Joseph Mercola Author

		<description><![CDATA[ Couples going through menopause often have unique struggles when coping with the new changes and challenges it brings to them both as individuals, and as partners It is an inner battle – mentally and physically – for not just women, but men as well For women, it may be hard to get a male partner to understand and be able to empathise with her challenges But both sexes go through a form of menopause, and this transition is disruptive and even scary, and a certain level of understanding and communication is required for any one to have a quality relationship at this stage of life Nancy Cetel talks about many of the changes couples experience in her book Double Menopause, and what often happens is that emotions, including past hurts, hopes, dreams, etc, that may have been buried or unexpressed in the past, can no longer hidden It can’t be helped – the truth will not be held back any longer For some women, that shows up in pent up aggression that is taken out on a male partner by pushing him away and/or making him unable to relate to you on a physical level Men need to know that the loss of desire for sex may be caused from the hormonal changes, but there might also be an emotional element that needs to be dealt with It is advisable that men in menopause couples acquaint themselves with the effects of menopause, in themselves and their partners, in order to better understand the changes their relationship is going through Men soon realize that hormonal imbalances are causing unwanted emotional symptoms in women that could lead to verbal spats every now and then Men need to be aware that emotional changes are likely to occur and that they are not to blame for them but that their partner may require extra attention, love and outward expressions of caring more now than ever before Men need to understand that their sexual drives could also have changed as they experience a slower loss of testosterone To keep sexual interest, partners may need to put more time and attention into the quality of their sex lives and ‘update’ themselves on what things turn them on at this stag of the game Men need to know that a decrease in estrogen in their lover’s bodies – can significantly alter how she thinks and feels about sex In addition, vaginal discomfort and thinning of the lining of the vagina can make sex painful so it will not be enjoyable for either of them until they find a solution for this More than ever this is a critical time for couples to communicate more about the changes they are both experiencing Christian Northrup talks about ‘reversing roles’ as couples go through this transition in her book the Wisdom of Menopause Men often lose a lot of the aggression that once fueled their younger years and they are happier to stay home and engage in more nuturing activities, that they never paid attention to before, such as cooking Women, on the other hand, may want to venture out into the world and pursue a long-thought about career They become more aggressive and passionate about accomplishing things In this way, the couple almost switch roles in the relationship Talking a lot, expressing ideas, and bonding with one another again becomes critical during this transition Men need to know what is happening to their women on a day-to-day basis, and visa versa Women want men to cheer them on as they undergo significant changes including dealing with physical discomfort, hormonal imbalances, and possibly venturing out into the career world for the first time! Men need to know that sex isn’t going away totally Explore sexual alternatives and realize that having less sex is not the end of the world! Experiment with vibrators, and oral sex, if you haven’t already as these are fine alternatives and to maintain a healthy sex life Women love toys as much as guys do Menopause might mean taking more time for foreplay for some women Get into a habit of communicating your needs to each other and learn to enjoy the changes instead of fighting against them The most important thing is that husbands provide a social network for their menopausal wives to rely on Realize that menopause is only a phase, albeit the end of the old and the beginning of a new one, and it’s possible to adjust to the changes by remaining aware By staying informed of each other’s thoughts and feelings and becoming tolerant and understanding to the emotional pains women can go through, menopause couples can overcome most difficulties And, who knows, you might like the new person you wake up to better!

		<description><![CDATA[ The importance of relaxation in controlling and treating disease in general has only recently been recognized throughout the medical industry, yet its implementation still lags and the general public does still not understand its effectiveness Relaxation techniques, especially those involving meditation, have been seen as a bunch of “mumbo jumbo” for many years, until the findings of scientists and doctors that showed immense benefits to this practice became more prevalent Relaxation techniques have a definite place in the healing process of the body, and with arthritis the case is no different With certain types of arthritis, the importance of relaxation is increased, since stress and emotional disposition play a large part in them Prayer is a form of relaxation and meditation if you are spiritually or religiously inclined that also works wonders Either following a minister or someone else leading prayer, or formulating your own inspirational prayer, you can pull upon the comfort of God as you see him taking your pain away Again mental and physical benefits are realized from such a practice You may also consider hypnosis as an option Hypnosis is simply a guided meditation that allows you to access the power of your subconscious mind through a guide called a hypnotist, who is either a trained psychologist, psychiatrist, counselor, or social worker Images of a man with a shiny gold stopwatch putting you under a trance to make you perform unusual acts or tell deep dark truths are more the scripts of Hollywood movies than what real-life hypnotism is In the case of hypnosis for pain management, hypnosis is nothing more than an assisted guided imagery, such as described above The only difference here is that you have someone to help you through the steps of relaxation and meditation on your image More free information on arthritis and arthritis treatment can be found at http://wwwArthritisZonecom ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ A British weapon’s inspector was found dead in the woods after he slashed his wrist For the past few weeks, he was entangled with a controversy about the war in Iraq On Monday, a Hyundai executive leaped to his death from the 12th floor He was on trial for allegedly paying off North Korea $100 million to agree to a 2000 summit between North and South Korea In both urban and rural areas, many more suicide cases do not go unnoticed Through local papers and the town’s rumor mills, suicide becomes a sad tale and a mystery Why would people kill themselves? Recent studies have shown the correlation between suicide and serotonin deficiency in the brain Moreover, the presence of significant stress has far-reaching consequences especially if such stressor, such as legal entanglements, results in profound hopelessness and depression Frequently, when there is no immediate resolution to the problem, suicide becomes an attractive escape It then becomes obvious that suicide is not only a medical disorder but a psychosocial issue It is more than just a manifestation of emotional distress It is a complication of an unresolved state of affairs There is no question that suicide is devastating to everyone I have seen loved ones grapple with the pain of the loss and shame associated with the manner of death Pain and grief among relatives persist for months despite efforts to feel better though counseling and medication Can suicide then be prevented? Suicide prevention is as much a science as it is an art Although applying scientific psychotherapeutic techniques can be effective, the gentle art of dealing with the suicidal person makes all the difference Having stated these, if clues of suicidal behavior can be recognized early and sources of stress addressed immediately, then the risk of suicide can be reduced The issue of early recognition and remedy therefore becomes crucial The CARE approach can help loved ones cope What is the CARE Approach]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ There are various definitions of Alzheimer 's disease including: - "The slow onset of memory loss leading to a gradual progression to a loss of judgement and changes in behaviour and temperament" - "A living death" - "The global impairment of higher functions, including memory, the capacity to solve problems of day to day living, the performance of learned percepto-motor skills (for example tasks like washing, dressing and eating), and the control of emotional reactions in the absence of gross clouding of consciousness" Memory Loss Memory loss occurs in all cases of Alzheimer's disease The most recent memories are the first to be affected, the things we've done in the last few hours or days Later, as the disease progresses, the past memory also deteriorates The fact that memory loss is such an important feature of Alzheimer's, the testing of a person's memory is an easy and cheap method of diagnosing the condition Questions asked should be extremely basic, for example: - What day is it today? - How old are you]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ And we thought Christopher Columbus is only famous for discovering America He also needs a little applause for this one For it was he, who took the bergamot tree from his home in the Canary Islands, and transported it to Italy Because of this, bergamot has been cultivated in Italy ever since Bergamot oil is made from the inedible, bitter green, pear shaped citrus fruit of the bergamot tree The peel of the fruit is cold pressed, which releases the pale emerald green oil The oil has a light, delicate, citrusy and floral scent and has many uses The therapeutic properties of bergamot pure essential oil are euphoric, antiseptic, cooling, and a tonic to the digestive system The main constituents in bergamot essential oil are limonene, linalyl acetate, nerol, and linalool All of these substances are antiseptic and astringent This allows bergamot essential oil to help with many conditions One of the conditions bergamot pure essential oil helps with is acne and eczema You can use the oil in a facial steam bath, which will help cleanse and heal the face It is fairly easy to make a steam bath Just apply a few drops of bergamot oil to a bowl of steaming hot water Drape a towel over your head and shoulders, and lean over the bowl Breathe deeply for 10-15 minutes with eyes closed CAUTION: Do not use steam bath if you have broken facial capillaries Another condition bergamot is known to assist with is cystitis and pruritis Cystitis is one of the most common urinary track infections and is most commonly caused by the E Coli bacteria becoming embedded in the bladder lining, thereby causing irritation Pruritus is a manifestation of dermatologic diseases To help cope with either of these, add 4-5 drops of bergamot oil to a warm bath Bathe with the oil once a day until the condition disappears Now, bergamot essential oil can also be used for emotional stress: There are 2 basic blends for tension and stress: bergamot and orange pure essential oil, and bergamot and clary-sage pure essential oil To prepare either one, mix 3 drops of each oil in bathwater when bath is full You can also throw away your headache medicine Bergamot pure essential oil has been noted for headache relief All you need to do is mix bergamot oil with a carrier oil, such as safflower oil, and rub into your temples and the back of your neck A few drops will be enough to get rid of the headache, especially if it is tension related This is one I have read about but I am not sure if it works Bergamot oil has also been used as a mosquito repellent It is said to put the oil on a rag, cloth, or cotton ball and put it in your pocket, and it will naturally keep the mosquitoes at bay Safety Conditions Bergamot is from the citrus family It contains furo-coumarin, which makes it photosensitive If you decide to use this on your skin, make sure not to go out in direct sunlight for at least 6 hours (some say 3 hours is long enough, but I recommend 6 hours) This will prevent the brownish spots from appearing on your skin Also, if using for massage oil, ensure it is diluted with no more than twenty drops of bergamot oil to 4 oz of carrier oil, such as safflower oil As you can see, bergamot pure essential oil is excellent antiseptic oil It has been used for many conditions, from acne to headaches to cystitis And thanks to Christopher Columbus, as he has allowed the rest of us to find out and use this excellent essential oil to make our lives more natural and healthy ]]></description>
