Aromatherapy and Your Morning Sickness
Morning sickness is just one of those things. Like so many other things in life, a blessing like expectant motherhood is tempered by a little bit of trial and tribulation, like morning sickness. The frustrating thing about morning sickness is that it can be difficult trying to figure out the best way to treat morning sickness. The fact of the matter is that many of the medications that are available to reduce nausea just arent safe to use during pregnancy. For this reason, many women have turned to alternative remedies, such as aromatherapy, to treat morning sickness.
In general, aromatherapy uses essential oils to help treat a variety of ailments. In terms of morning sickness during pregnancy, there are several essential oils you can use via aromatherapy. The most effective and most commonly used essential oil used in aromatherapy to treat morning sickness is ginger. Ginger has been used for centuries to alleviate nausea and vomiting.
Spartanburg County residents advised to vaccinate pets against rabies, avoid stray animals
COLUMBIA, S.C. – A Spartanburg County woman who was bitten by a stray cat is under the care of a physician after the animal tested positive for rabies, the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control reported today.
“The stray cat tried to run inside the woman’s house, which is near Lyman,” said Sue Ferguson of DHEC’s Bureau of Environmental Health, “and when she blocked it from entering, the cat bit her on the foot. Now, she must undergo treatment to prevent the spread of rabies through her body.”
According to Ferguson, once the rabies virus reaches the brain, the disease is fatal to humans and animals. Anyone bitten, scratched or otherwise exposed to the saliva of a rabid animal must undergo immediate measures to stop the virus from reaching the brain. The woman is receiving preventive inoculations.
“Avoid wild animals acting tame and tame animals acting wild,” Ferguson said. “

How to Keep Your Cool During a Hot Emotional Time
I’ve always been wary of confrontations, shunning them at times I like to blame it on my astrological sign, Libra Ruled by Venus, the goddess of love, Libras search for peace and harmony, working hard to balance any oppositional forces
But in truth, I think it’s more than that Whenever I have to face a difficult situation with another person, there’s a part of me that fears getting tongue-tied or of things escalating so out of control that in the end there’s a bigger problem than I started with, rather than a resolution or any valuable forward motion
Yet, the reality is that you can’t always run from conflict In my own tireless quest for peace, there’s also that nagging need to have an oft-times spontaneous conversation to “make things right” or to “have a talk,” “straighten things out,” “get something off my chest” or “clear the air”
There’s a “right” way and a “wrong” way to handle a confrontation, I’ve learned by reading , the book I mentioned in my last post To start with, rather than call it a “confrontation,” the authors refer to talking to coworkers, friends, neighbors or family members as an “interview” And, just as you’d prepare for a job interview you would, wouldn’t you?, you can prepare—in fact, you must prepare—for this type of interview There goes spontaneity But there is a time and place for it, and this is it
So let’s throw out the word confrontation for now: it’s just too emotionally laden and filled with finger-pointing and bad endings
Preparation involves doing some homework According to the books’ authors, Mary Ellen O’Toole, PhD, and Alisa Bowman, here are some things you need to do before you ever ask a question:
- Set some goals Think about what you want to accomplish during the interview What do you want to find out? Kee
Sexual violence against women leads to lifetime harm
A new study shows that women who suffer intimate partner violence have an increased lifetime risk of mental health disorders. The study, which covered more than 4,400 women and was reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that 27 percent of the women said they had suffered from sexual or physical violence, or been stalked.
The women were 3 to 11 times more likely to have ever had a mental health condition such as depression or anxiety, and the risk increased dramatically with a greater proportion of the trauma suffered. For women who had suffered at least three of four types of violence, such as rape, other types of sexual assault, physical abuse by a partner or stalking, a full 89 percent had a mental health condition at some point in their lives.
