It is quite common for a pregnant woman to have trouble sleeping, and there may be many reasons for this. It's hard to get relaxed enough to drop off when your thoughts are racing, and this often occurs when you're excited about giving birth. As hormones change, they may affect the brain centers responsible for deep relaxation. Finally, it's hard to find a comfortable position in which to sleep when your belly is in the way and your child is very active.
Symptoms: either an inability to fall asleep, a propensity to wake in the middle of the night (usually triggered by a need to urinate or leg cramps), or early waking, with an inability to drop off again.
You may find that sleep is harder at night and easier during the day. Although may be a problem for some women as the pregnancy proceeds, extreme tiredness during the day may force you into napping. It's a good idea to try to get eight hours, no matter how they're divided up.
Treatment:
NUTRITION: Warm milk (which contains the amino acid tryptophan) before bed. Be sure you finish your final meal of the day by 7 P.M. so that your body won't be digesting while you sleep.
SUPPLEMENTATION: Take your prenatal vitamin or the following supplements daily:
Vitamin A: 5,000 IU Vitamin B6: 2.2 mg
Vitamin Bi: 1.5 mg
Vitamin B12: 2.2 mcg
Vitamin B2: 1.6 mg
Folic acid: 800 mcg
Vitamin B3: 17 mg
Vitamin C: 500-1,000 mg
Vitamin D: 400 IU
Vitamin E: 400 IU
Vitamin K: 65 mcg
Calcium: 1,200 mg
Magnesium: 500 mg
Iron: 30 mg
Phosphorus: 1,200 mg
Iodine: 175 mcg
Selenium: 65 mcg
In addition, take calcium, 500-1,000 mg, at bedtime.
HERBS: Chamomile tea, sleepy time tea, hops tea and also sleeping on a pillow stuffed with hops. (You can make your own by sewing two handkerchiefs together with a handful of hops inside them.)
HOMEOPATHY: You can try any one of the combination remedies available in health food stores, sold as "" preparations. You may also try one dose of a 6C or 30C potency that matches your symptom picture every 15 to 30 minutes three times, then one to four times daily, following the instructions on the bottle or tube. If you find no relief from your symptoms, this is not the appropriate remedy for your condition. Examine yourself carefully, check the list again, and select a different remedy. If you still find no relief, consult with a homeopathic practitioner for further direction.
Aconite: sleepless and restless, anxious dreams, startles in sleep.
Coffea: wakeful, sleeps until 3 A.M., then only dozes. Great flow of ideas, mental activity.
Nux vomica: can't sleep at all after 3 A.M., awakes feeling awful. Dreams full of hurry. Better after short sleep.
Pulsatilla: wide awake in evening, sleep restless at first, wakes feeling unrefreshed. Sleeps with hands over head.
Sulphur: talks and twitches in sleep, vivid dreams, frequent awakening. Can't sleep between 2 A.M. and 5 A.M..
LIFESTYLE: Make sure your bedroom is dark and quiet with good ventilation and fresh air. Use as many pillows as necessary for support around your belly.
If unable to sleep, get up and read.
MIND/BoDY: Meditation and breathing techniques such as three- stage breathing (yoga) and chi kung breathing (tai chi chuan) can relax mind and body even if you cannot actually fall asleep.
VISUALIZATION: Lie down in a darkened room on a flat surface. Cover yourself lightly in case you should fall asleep during the visualization. Begin by breathing slowly and gently, feeling the rhythm of the breath take over your body and mind. As you inhale and exhale, picture yourself in some surrounding where you have always felt secure and happy—a mountaintop at dusk or a sunny day by a lake or sitting by a fireplace on a snowy night. See yourself in this setting, looking out at the natural landscape, feeling at peace. You have nowhere to go, nothing to do.
Now think about your limbs and how heavy and relaxed they are. First focus on your right leg—it is warm, heavy and free of tension. Then your right arm—so heavy you could not lift it if you tried. Turn your attention to the left side of your body. Your left leg is heavy and relaxed, sinking deeply into the floor. Your left arm, like the rest of your body and mind, is totally comfortable just where it is.
Let the thoughts that come to you drift by like leaves on a pond. Let yourself sink and drift away. You are drowsy, ready for sleep. You are completely relaxed.

Alternative treatments for warts
Warts are unsightly skin growths caused by the highly contagious human papillomavirus. You can catch the virus by direct contact with someone who has warts, or by touching an infected surface. However, not everyone who comes into contact with the virus develops warts, as they are related to the status of your immune system.
The conventional treatment of warts involves either cutting them out, applying chemicals or freezing them off with liquid nitrogen. But, even if these methods are successful, the warts are likely to grow back. In addition, many of these treatments come with nasty side effects.
Aldara cream for example, can cause redness, itching and bacterial infections, while using liquid nitrogen – besides being painful – can lead to scarring. Some therapies can even cause systemic side effects such as Raynaud’s phenomenon (painful, cold extremities) and flu –like symptoms.
There are a number of :-
Fig tree latex. This comes from the leaves, stems and fruit of the fig tree and has traditionally been used for warts. It has proved to be nearly as effective as liquid nitrogen treatments but without the side effects. However, avoid this remedy if you are allergic to latex.
Garlic. This is another successful remedy for warts. In a small trial of five year old children, rubbing raw garlic directly onto the warts proved to be 100 percent effective, although it took an average of nine weeks to work. Cut a clove of garlic in half and rub the flat surface over the wart, taking care not to touch healthy skin. Cover with a plaster overnight and wash away in the morning: repeat every day with a fresh clove.
Tea tree oil. This and the fresh, milky juice from the greater celadine are other topical treatments with evidence of success in removing warts.
Hypnosis. Strange as it may seem, hypnosis is a well recognised treatment for warts. In one study, those who underwent regular hypnosis sessions saw greater wart disappearance after six weeks than those using a medication (topical salicylic acid), a placebo or no treatment. The power of suggestion is particularly effective in children. German researchers found that ‘treating’ children with fake x-rays led to complete remission of warts in about half the cases.
Heat Therapy. In one comparative controlled trial, the application of short bursts of heat (50 degrees C) from a heat pad led to complete regression in 25 of 29 treated warts, compared with only 7 of 17 of the control warts. Even better, at a follow up fifteen weeks later, none of the heat regressed warts had returned.
Zinc supplements. In a double blind study of 80 patients with treatment resistant warts, high doses of oral zinc sulphate were able to clear around 90 percent of warts in two months, whereas none of those treated with a placebo showed any signs of improvement.
Duct tape. Covering warts with duct tape, or any strong sticky tape, appears to be an effective way of getting rid of them. In a trial of 51 patients comparing duct tape with liquid nitrogen treatment, the sticky tape came out on top. And, it did so within a month.
How do you stop warts from spreading?
1) Don’t brush, comb or shave areas that have warts.
2) Don’t use the same nail file or nail clipper on your warts as you use on your healthy nails.
3) Don’t bite your nails if you have any warts nearby.
4) Don’t pick at warts – if you can’t resist it, cover them up with a plaster or duct tape.
5) Keep your hands dry, as warts favour a moist environment.
6) Always wash your hands after touching your warts.

Homemade Remedies For Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition marked by sometimes severe pain in the wrists and hands. There may also be numbness, a burning sensation, wrist inflammation, swelling, and wrist weakness in either or both hands. The bones of the wrist (called the carpuA) form a tunnel through which nerves pass. Pain and swelling occur when these nerves and the nerves that pass between the tendons of the forearm muscles are compressed. Carpal tunnel syndrome usually occurs in individuals who do repetitive hand and wrist movements, such as typists, tennis players, grocery store clerks, and the like. It is most common in women between the ages of thirty and sixty, but it can affect anyone at any time.
Several diseases and conditions are also associated with carpal tunnel syndrome, such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, kidney failure, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, and high blood pressure.
Carpal tunnel syndrome Home Remedy tea
1 teaspoon chopped valerian root
2 teaspoons white willow bark
2 cups cold water
Combine the herbs in a pan and cover with the cold water. Soak overnight; strain. Take up to one cup a day, a tablespoon at a time. This tea can help relieve nerve pain.

Most people have had the disease as children and have developed an immunity or have been immunized against it.
Although measles is fairly well controlled in the United States because of vaccinations, it continues to be a major killer throughout the rest of the world, responsible for over one million deaths every year.
Children with measles should be under the care of a qualified health-care practitioner.
