A few months ago I had what I’m about 90% sure was an anxiety attack out of absolutely NO WHERE…Felt like I was having a heart attack. I couldn’t eat, focus, anything, just paralized, trembling, chest pains, felt like I was going to “lose it” for lack of a better term. Went out to my car, laid down there for about 45 minutes, felt ok enough to drive and drove home. By the time I got home I felt fine.

After that I felt fine again for a few weeks until I had another one, same situation just sitting in the office working but this time the issues never went away. It’s been months and EVERY DAY I feel like I’m on the verge of having another one. As a result mild agoraphobia is present (I dread meetings etc) and I’ve noticed a severe problem with motion sickness/stomach sensitivity to movement etc now that I didn’t have before (though I’ve never been fond of crazy roller coasters and/or heights, but it’s MUCH worse now – For instance, I couldn’t handle the space needle restaraunt in Seattle…made it to the table for about 5 minutes then had to go back down).

Hi, I am an Indian living in Japan. I used to have moustache. About 8 months back I had patches of hair disappear at random locations in my mustache as well as in the head. Dermatologist said its alopecia areta or it happens due to stress. I tried some medicine and acupuncture. Currently the hair in the head has grown back but about 1 cm in the moustache area is without hair. I heard in India there are steroid medicines / injections that some doctors prescribe.
Doctors in Japan they have no idea about hair loss in mustache because most of them dont have mustache. I need help. I will really appreciate if you could provide any information in this regard.
Thanks.

In today’s world, the People’s Republic of China is dominating the world trade with its vigorous strategy of marketing. But ages ago, Chinese herbs gained the faith for its remarkable curative power. These Chinese herbs did also have cures for tinnitus pulsatile, tuberculosis, trauma and severe renal failure. Two main points divides the topic: Acquaintance with age old Chinese Medicine and another is the Chinese herbal medicine with its medications. The herbal cures are very popular for their effectiveness, whereas the traditional treatment method failed to prove effective in some instances.

YANG is considered to be masculine and positive, where as YIN is with woman’s nature and negative. This is the belief as per the age old Chinese Medicine. Perfect balance of YIN-YANG will always represent healthiness. YIN, which is subdued, can lead to tinnitus, mild fever, dizziness, lower back pain and other problems. TCM’s logic is that, non sufficient YIN may cause damage to the kidney and other organs. Probability on increase in other diseases is very high if kidney is affected, since the kidney is the foundation of all functioning organs in the human body. This situation will hamper the proper functioning of other organs of the body as well.

Try salsa dancing if you are depressed! No, I am not being facetious. Experiments over a nine week period showed that when people tried this form of exercise, they had much fewer symptoms of depression. Now that could be a natural depression solution but so could any form of vigorous exercise. It could be dancing or aerobics or just plain jogging.

You probably know that any physical exercise will increase the feel good chemicals in the brain, known as endorphins.
