That is the reason why half of the scriptwriters of boring long winded soap operas have one of the female characters always telling any male character of which she can get hold, “We have to talk.” And she cannot understand why he does not want to talk. There is a psychological reason for this. Most men do not like long acrimonious and recriminating discussions, based on emotions, and they may find themselves in the middle of a loud and noisy argument. This book is going to talk about the world of relationships and how to be an effective communicator, in your professional and personal life. How many times have you picked up a novel, and read about some of the characters, wasting about 186 pages being suspicious about their mate? They would rather brood, and spoil their previously happy life being suspicious, and you see them spending half of the time weeping in their pillow – the man puts a detective on to follow his woman – and here we have a completely soured lemon of a relationship. A little bit of proper communication, at the right time could have set all the doubts to rest. The woman just enjoyed shopping every day at one particular time. She was definitely not indulging in whatever activity the lurid imagination of the writer thought up. And you wasted 2 ½ hours reading a silly sob story, about a misunderstanding which would have cleared up with just a little effective communication known as talking.

They ate meat very rarely. However, their diet was totally made up of roots, spices, nuts, vegetables and fruit. According to their knowledge, this was the way in which they could ensure good health, absence of diseases and also promote longevity. Nevertheless, it is a sad thing that in the 21st century, not many of us know how to eat fruit properly. Yes, there is a method of eating fruit in order to gain the proper benefits of fruit. In ancient times, people also knew the rules went to eat fruit in which season and under what circumstances and in which amounts. That was to prevent people from gorging on fruit. This was a natural reaction, especially when they were extremely hungry and suddenly found themselves confronted with trees and trees of fruit ready to be picked and eaten. In ancient times, it was said that any fruit which belonged to one particular season had to be eaten in that season itself. That was because nature had made it to benefit the human body, only in that season. That is why seasonal fruits in tropical areas like mangoes, melons, guavas, and cantaloupes grew only in the summer so that they could provide human beings with refreshment as well as plenty of water content which they needed in the summer.

Table of Contents Post Partum Depression Table of Contents Introduction Symptoms Causes of PPD Doctor, Can You Please Help Me? Who Can Get PPD? - Risk factors Suffering from PPD Duration Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction It may be an emotional or well-known sentimental cliche that a mother is not really a mother until she has held her baby in her arms, for the first time. Since ancient times, this is the statement which has been followed in societies that a woman can never be fulfilled until she has become a wife and a mother. In fact, nature has programmed a woman to be the mother of future generations, and that is why there is always a feeling that only when she holds her bundle of joy in her arms when she really understand what it really means to be a woman and a mother. Nevertheless, putting emotion aside, pregnancy and childbirth are going to result in a complex mix of hormonal, physical, emotional, spiritual, and behavioral changes taking place in a woman. This whole package is going to affect her in various ways at different times. In fact, a woman may recognize the fact that she is expecting, when she finds herself with mood swings in the initial stages of pregnancy. During the pregnancy, she is going to feel excited, full of energy, and deliriously happy. At other times she is going to feel headaches, flustered, and feel tired and overwhelmed. In the East, since ancient times, women know all about these particular hormonal changes which are going to affect an expectant mother. That is why traditionally an expectant mother was always kept in seclusion with old wise women to take care of her. She was given the task of reading holy books so that her mind could keep calm, peaceful and tranquil. The belief was that in this manner, her child would also be a spiritually rich and enlightened soul. Naturally, after she has gone through the rigors of labor and has successfully given birth to a child, a woman feels that she has done something marvelous. She has achieved something great, and that is the reason why she cannot stop smiling. Holding her child for the first time in her arms means that now she is ready to take on the responsibility of a brand-new soul who has entered her life and who belongs to her completely. Later on, the world is going to intrude in her magic world of mother and child and brings with it worry as well as the responsibilities which have now fallen on her shoulders. However, when she knows that she has her family, her partner or her husband who is there to welcome the newborn gift to the world, she is going to feel relieved and less tense and stressed. However, a number of women suffer from an ailment known as acute postpartum depression. [PPD.] because of the worry of the responsibility of a newborn child. This makes 90% of the mothers depressed and fearful. But as they begin to cope with baby care, this depression is going to disappear. Yet for about a quarter of the new mothers, the depression is going to persist for some weeks. They need help in both caring for their babies and in coming to terms with their feelings. It is only with the help and support of their families, that they can manage to come out of this depression. Acute postpartum depression in a mother is going to result in the baby being badly neglected or even ill treated. So what is this condition that makes women feel emotionally untouched by their own babies as they drown in a sea of black depression?"

But this herb has also been a valuable an integral part of ancient alternative medicine. More than 4000 years ago, one of the greatest of ancient doctors Charaka wrote in his compendium that the juice from the leaves of the sacred basil mixed with honey taken three times a day could cure patients suffering from whooping cough and chest ailments. That was the time when people relied on natural cures, and their own inmate good health to keep healthy and live long. I am proud to present this book to you, about one of the most useful herbs available to mankind today, of which the significant benefits have been written in ancient books of the East. Oscimum sanctum is the scientific name given to the sacred basil. What is the difference between cooking basil and sacred basil? Well, to tell you very frankly, most of the cooks in the East prefer to use the plant, which has purplish colored leaves, in their food, just before serving. They call that the cooking basil. On the other hand, the sacred basil has smaller and greener leaves, more pungent in odor and in taste. One rule passed down from the ancients is that milk and Basil do not mix. So when you are getting rid of a cough and cold, you make up a mixture of one teaspoonful each of honey and dried ginger, eight black peppercorns, and 5 to 10 basil leaves and boil them in water. Drink them down twice a day, and there goes your cold. But if you are boiling these ingredients in milk, leave the basil leaves out. Sacred basil has a religious and mythological significance coming down the ages, both in the East and in the West. The Greek Eastern Orthodox church used basil in traditional rituals and the women of the house used to sprinkle sacred basil on the threshold of their houses on St. Basil's day celebrated on 1 January in order to usher in a new and fruitful prosperous new year.

But one is grateful that this is one plant which was allowed to grow and flourish in the gardens, instead of being considered to be just another weed, which had this habit of taking over large coppices, which were rich in natural humus. This very popular fruit, cultivated globally is now known as the garden or just a strawberry. It belongs to the Fragaria genus of plants, which is made up of other fruits which are not berries, but are a number of aggregate fruits. Thanks to its very attractive red and bright color, strawberry aroma, sweetness and juicy flavor, is it a surprise that there is no fruit like the strawberry for adding style and distinction to your garden patch. Just imagine ice creams, fruit juice, milkshakes, chocolates and pies, which have not been flavored with the delicate flavor of a strawberry. In fact artificially produced strawberry flavors are used extensively in lip glosses, lip balms and other beauty products. Strawberries, especially the Woodland strawberries are supposed to have originated in Europe, because references to these sweet delicious berries have been found in ancient Roman classical cuisine. They were also used by the Romans to cure a number of ailments related to the skin. Crushed strawberries were placed under ashes and skin problems in order to clear and cure the skin ailment and to make it smooth and glowing again. The plant was also used to treat depression. Strawberry growers of the early Victorian days used to take a great delight in digging up large coppices in the wood lands. These lands were rich in natural fertilizer, especially organic fertilizer, humus, and a well fertilized soil too. These lands were then allowed to be overrun with strawberries. When people got to know in the medieval ages that all you had to do was go into the woods, cut some strawberry runners and plant them in your plot of land, and they would grow and bear fruit, this fruit began to be more and more popular both with gardeners and with farmers.

Table of Contents Parent/Child Conflicts Psychological, Time-Tested Advice for Parents Introduction Children being taught to expect too much… Bargaining Counters… What Happens When Parents Are Not Responsible This is not so important… Why Have You Done This? Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction A couple of days ago I wrote a book on things you never told your child, because psychologists told you they were not acceptable in today’s social and cultural milieu. I began to think that it was necessary for a psychologist on an Internet site, with a number of alphabets behind his name and a doctor’s label in front had to go into the ether in order to give you advice and make you believe something which was supposed to be self-evident? That is what man has been reduced to; he has absolutely no confidence in his own decision, instinct, common sense, and power to understand what is best for his child. This started in the 1960s, when Dr. Spock, a man and definitely not a mother came up with some ideas about how children had to be reared. He had some definite theories. He had some scientific ideas in his mind. He had seen how his wife brought up their children, and had adapted a whole series of chapters to how children should be fed, put to bed, entertained, and according to him what worked for his kids would work for kids globally. And the popular press believed him and so did the critics. And thus a whole continent followed his child rearing and parenting ideas for the next 50 years, until the Internet came into prominence, and a number of Dr. Spock’s successors appeared on sides to tell a parent how, when, where, why, and wherefore, a child could be reared according to their own experimental theories of 21st-century parenting.

Well, I was just reading Diana Killian’s fourth book on the mantra for murder series – Death in a Difficult Position, I said, aha , here it comes. Here is somebody going to say that yoga is the work of the devil, it is unchristian like, and it was his job as an evangelist to speak against it. The practice of yoga was the work of the devil and no God-fearing soul was permitted to do anything which would imperil his soul and prevent him from going to heaven. The Reverend David Goode was doing that to get some free publicity in the story. In fact he was not even a Reverend at all. And he was getting an audience to listen to him. Those were the people who definitely had not bothered to try out yoga for themselves and let somebody else do their thinking for them. This book is for all of my friends out there who want to know more about Eastern philosophy, and the way human beings lived 5000 years ago, disciplining themselves through regular yogic practices. Well, my friends, the truth is that there are many people out there, who still believe that the word yoga is based on religious practices. I have been practicing yoga, ever since I was a child, without even knowing anything about the rational and practical interpretation of scientifically sound methods with which diseases could be prevented, cured, and one could have a physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally sound body. We children learned yoga, as a part of our lifestyles, exercising every morning during school prayers. And boy, were we healthy! Also, it was such fun, trying to sit in Lotus poses – we did not know that they were called Lotus poses, but we had to sit the way our teacher did, and as we were really flexible, we did not have burning ankles at the end of the session! So for everybody who is out there thinking that yoga is restricted to just one region or people, I am here to emphatically say no. Yoga was thought up more than 6000 years ago, in the East, based on experiments by wise men who had time to meditate on the Science of Living, and the best way in which mankind could achieve enlightenment. Yoga is universal and nondenominational. It does not take into account your nationality, beliefs, culture, traditions, creed, cast, race, age, gender, and mental and spiritual make up. It is not a religious discipline. It is a way of living, and a practical art of living lifestyle. You cannot just put on a garb of a holy one, read religious text, and talking about them to be called a Yogi – Master – teacher. You have to practice what you preach. Ancient yoga was actually taught by teachers in Sanskrit, when people could understand the meaning of the Sutras – literally aphorisms. At that time they had all the time in the world to spend years and years in order to gain knowledge in the Hermitages under the guidance of their wise men. Times have changed today. One literally has to take time out to sit and stare. He definitely does not have the time to go out in the open air, and take 15 minutes out to sit quietly in a place and meditate on the unity of his spirit with the universal spirit of the one most powerful being who created the universe.

The Body Image Problem Fat is necessary for you The Body Mass Index Scare Is It Anorexia Nervosa or Is It Just That He Does Not Want to Eat Much? You Are Eating Too Much! Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction A friend of mine asked me why I wanted to write a book on how parents could manage the eating disorders in teenage concerns and the different teenager health concerns, especially when a child stops eating. She wanted to know whether I was speaking from real life, and experiences which I had seen in my own family, and I told her that I was lucky that anorexia and bulimia never were thought of, in matters of eating, especially when the teenagers knew that the family members were all hearty eaters, and eating disorders was something up with which the elders would not put, physically, mentally, and even psychologically! But then you are going to be surprised to know that 3% of the parents, especially in European countries, – France predominant - where everybody is very particular about the latest psychological trend of body image, their children suffer from bulimia and anorexia. Princess Di suffered from it, because subconsciously she had reached a stage of what is the use of my being a princess, when my husband could not care less about me. You may not believe it, but this is the reason why a large number of women out there subconsciously have a death wish, just because they have lost someone near and dear, emotionally, physically, and even spiritually. That is why a number of parents may not believe it or not, but more than 2% of adolescents suffer from some sort of eating disorder, which is called anorexia or bulimia. So as a concerned parent, how are you going to manage a child not eating at all, a child deciding that he does not want to eat anything, a child who has stopped eating a healthy, nourishing diet or any other factor, which prevents a growing child from eating a healthy diet and growing up into an physically, mentally and emotionally strong adult who is healthy, strong, fit, and has no eating disorders at all. But you are going to say, hey, what is this, I can understand a child suffering physically. If he is starving himself, but what has “mentally and emotionally” to do with a child’s health, especially when he is not eating properly?

That was because I associated this particular term with delicious things to eat like succulent, juicy spareribs or succulent luscious fruit, fresh off a tree! But here was an experienced gardener talking about a plant, which he called a succulent? It did not look remotely edible at all! Cacti belong to the "Succulent Plants" family. Plants with green leaves that are left in the sun without water are going to flag and wilt within a few hours. They are going to die within a few days. However, mother nature has made some plant equivalents of camels, which can go for long periods without any water. These plants normally live in a hot and dry climate and they have managed to survive since the dawn of time. That is because they are able to adapt themselves to their environment. They are going to pass the dry season as leafless shrubs, seeds or as dry bulbs. Cactus as well as other succulent plants are capable of storing moisture, in their stems and leaves, especially when there is plenty of moisture in the atmosphere. This is so that they can get plenty of liquid available to them, when the atmosphere becomes dry and arid.

Subjugation of Natural Defiant Behavior Depression Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction You are being a bit too aggressive and stubborn and argumentative. Did you miss out on your morning dose of medicine? This timely book may come as a shock to a number of people out there, who probably do not know that children as well as teenagers are being drugged by their parents, under the recommendation of the doctors with calming and tranquilizing drugs on purpose. This very disturbing trend has started up in the 21st century, where adults are purposely and deliberately using drugs to control the behavior of children, and after that teenagers, so that they can be “managed” properly. I did not know that this practice was so widespread, even though I had seen it being practiced by my own cousin who is a psychiatrist in the UK, upon her own son. He had lost his father at the age of 16 and being a teenager, he was naturally very upset because he and his father were very close. Consequently, his behavior was quite “disturbed.” And one of her colleagues in the hospital decided that he was mentally ill, and he needed to be drugged into tranquility. So here was this talented artistic boy, who I saw 3 years later, unable to pick up a pencil when once it flew over the paper to draw magic, articulate properly, feeling sleepy all the time, and the moment he got a bit argumentative and aggressive, because his body needed its daily dose of a calmer, his own mother popped a pill into his mouth. This was in 1996. As I did not know much about the reason why a responsible adult and a psychiatrist was doing this deliberate drugging of her own son, and I thought she knew what she was doing, I did not understand that this was the start of a very disturbing trend, which has escalated in the last 20 years to scary, horrifying, and unbelievable numbers. This book is going to tell you all about how this drug abuse is being justified under the name of ADHD, by doctors, which normal behavior in olden times, was just a part of a normal child’s growth and teenage rebelliousness.

These herbs used for millenniums have been an important part of our social traditional and religious fabrics all over the world. No one, without an interest in nature is not going to know more about Rosemary, sage, lavender, thyme, hyssop, basil, and other herbs put into use down the centuries. The awareness of the medical as well as the edible qualities of herbs, was naturally gained in prehistoric days by happy and sad experience. When food was nasty tasting or scarce, the pungent herbs made it more delicious and acceptable to eat. Leafy herbs provided vegetables and salads. Soon people began to find out that some herbs would also heal wounds and ease suffering. So that means that even the herbs that we supposedly used for culinary purposes could be used for healing purposes. In 460 B.C. Greeks were writing about the curative powers of plants. In the East, these herbs were used in alternative medicine, through medical books and compendiums written more than 5000 years ago. In Europe, all medical treatment based on herbs was done, thanks to a book written by Dioscorides in A.D. 60. In ancient Europe, The Greeks, Egyptians and the Romans could not do without their herbs. Culinary delights, especially the blending of sauces, which were made of flowers, herbs, spices and wines were possibly started in a Greek country named Sybaris, from where we get the term "sybarite," or a person who enjoys pleasure. They were the people who made sleeping on rose petals, a fashion. All the herbs and the flowers which were used to keep the Sybarites happy were grown in the gardens in the plains of Possidonia and you can still see them today. The regular use of a large variety of flowers and herbs for medical and culinary purposes has just come down the ages to us since ancient times. However, in the early - mid-19th century with the rise of industrialization, the popularity of herbs began to grow lesser, because people started to clear up large tracts of lands on which herbs grew, to give way to cities and human settlements. In fact, one great forest in the USA, Limberlost made popular in the writings of a writer and naturalist, Gene Stratton Porter was totally destroyed due to the felling of timber. If Teddy Roosevelt was not such an ardent and dedicated naturalist, many of the great green forest areas of the USA, which are now natural forest reserves, with herbs still present in them, would have been destroyed through man's encroachment and greed.

That is so not true. A little bit of planning and this fallacy is going to fall to pieces by the wayside. Those who are grown annuals for years are going to give this statement the lie gladly. Their initial investment must have been just a packet of seeds. The next year, the plants were grown from the seeds collected from the previous years’ crop. Do not forget that the life of an annual is limited to just 12 months and so you must not expect them to grow up and bloom again the next year, unless of course you allowed the seeds to lie in the bed without collecting them. That is when they are going to bloom up just like weeds with a little bit of rain, and with the coming of the spring. One of the great advantages of annuals is that they are quite easy to grow and flourish in your garden over a long period. The most common are well known to even amateur gardeners who can recognize a cornflower, nasturtiums, Virginia stock and Candytuft. These are very beautiful in themselves, but every gardener is growing them in his garden.
