Eastern techniques and herbal remedies can play big dividends with health but they need to be properly utilized and understood. This requires a healthcare professional who knows how to implement Eastern remedies in unison with Western medications. It can be dangerous to randomly create one’s own health plan without consulting a professional. This is because many medications may not mix or match with certain herbal remedies. Holistic Integrative Professionals can play a key role in helping individuals properly utilize medication.

Putting a dog, cat, horse, or any pet down is a painful decision. It is something that takes much thought and love in regards to the pets condition and also one’s own anguish. It is definitely not one of life’s happiest moments but in those moments, we find our true love for each other in the final goodbye. The goodbyes used to be very sterile and informal. The dog or cat was taken back never to be seen again. Fortunately, now one can stand side by side or even receive the ashes of a loved pet. Even so, now euthanasia is offered at home in some cases. This is a difficult decision but may also be a more comforting one for many.
Saying good bye is a day we all dread. Please also review AIHCP’s Pet Loss Grief Support Certification
The article, “At-home euthanasia can provide comfort to pets and owners” by Kathryn Streeter looks closer at how a pet owner can utilize home euthanasia for one’s beloved pet. She states,
“Psychotherapist and thanatologist Andrea Warnick has experienced both clinic and at-home euthanasia when her cats were terminally ill. “I think [at-home euthanasia] is a wonderful option because at this point a pet is pretty sick, and actually transporting them to a vet’s office can be anxiety-provoking and uncomfortable,” says Warnick, whose practice in Canada, Andrea Warnick Consulting, focuses on supporting grieving children, youths and adults.”

Maybe you can’t even point to exactly what’s wrong, only that you don’t feel like yourself. While everyone’s experiences and symptoms can and usually do differ, you could be going through a mild depression.”

The article, “How Does Alcohol Use Interact With Anger?” by Bernard Golden looks at how alcohol and anger come together during intoxication. He states,
“Consuming alcohol can serve as a distraction from a range of negative feelings, including anger. And all too often, as in Ryan’s case, it reflects displacement, directing anger toward a target that is not the source of an individual’s original anger. Under the influence of alcohol, those already predisposed toward anger may vent or, more seriously, direct their anger toward a target that might be experienced as less threatening than the original target.”

ADHD unfortunately has no cure but it can be managed. Please also review AIHCP’s ADHD Consulting Certification
The article, “What causes ADHD and can it be cured?” by Gregory Fabiano takes a closer look at the disorder and how to properly cope and manage it. He states,
“Most psychologists think about ADHD as a characteristic that, like eye color or height, can’t be changed. Doctors can’t cure ADHD, just like they can’t double the length of your legs. If someone had a hard time reaching a high shelf, would you tell them they just need to be taller? Of course not. But you could suggest they use a stepladder. The good news is there are ways that people with ADHD can overcome the challenges this condition brings. Evidence supports two distinct kinds of treatments.”
