On TheDoctorsTV show and on Dr. Oz today, the physicians discussed the relative health issues that women fear and Dr. Oz’s wife, Lisa, described the value of strong relationships which empower women, men, and children.

Whether it is the inconvenience of incontinence or the fear that your eggs are not viable to carry a pregnancy to term as you age, women have several unique gender-oriented health concerns that are very important to the female sex and males, too. The last time I checked, we are all in ‘relationship’, and whether or not your needs are based upon being male or female; your health is worthy of finding answers to all your questions.

I must say that our favorite physicians have been repeating the health mantra, Lifestyle Changes. Even during the canned ads for products and during the segment about healthy reproductive capacity for female fertility, a healthy Lifestyle is a primary part of the big picture. I was especially amazed to hear a daytime drama character refer to a Lifestyle Change today while waiting for Dr. Oz to share his insights with his significant other…Lisa.

Dr. Oz made a big move forward when he identified some of the natural products that can be kept in your medicine cabinet for basic health needs. Peppermint Oil and other Essential Oils cannot be emphasized enough when it comes to having them on hand to act quickly when a health issue arises. For headaches, migraines, and painful discomfort, EOs work immediately…which is the most desirable thing in the world when you feel like you need a quick fix and you need it now.

Frontier carries the AuraCacia brand which you can trust to provide you with pharmaceutical grade EOs that are fresh, potent, and inexpensive. You can click on the Banner ad for Frontier to your right on the border of this website to get further information about Essential Oils. They deserve a prominent place in your medicine chest – front and center.

It never hurts to have products on hand for infections like the Strep Throat that is able to put a person’s life in danger if not treated within a reasonable period of time. Nutri-Biotic GSE, Oregano, Thyme, Lemon, Rosewood, and a blend known in Europe for centuries are oils and substances that will be worth your while to keep in your medicine chest for prevention as well as treating acute infections effectively.

I was happy that Dr. Jim chimed in about the pineapple pedicure. You know a blender works magic to make a mash of the crushed pineapple, instead of taking a canned ring and making a huge mess. Of course, it’s funny on TV, but seriously…if you do this at home, make the mash and apply it without wasting any fruit. Use fresh pineapple when you do this to help your cuticles and slough off dried skin with the enzymes in this tropical fruit, because it is very UNLIKELY that the enzymes will be active in the canned rings. The banana, honey, yogurt, and oats mixture that is good for dry skin as a facial also works better when the ingredients are fresh and organic.

I have been enchanted with Lisa Oz and her astute observations about relationships. Get her new book and ask Dr. Oz to bring her back to his show occasionally. She is attempting to empower people to be powerful resources for themselves and for the people they love. Her Family Values document concept is worth your consideration. It cannot be rigid or else it defeats the purpose of respecting each family member’s unique contribution to the family unit. Sometimes it amazes me that working parents let their children fend for themselves and don’t spend more quality time with them doing shared activities more regularly. Tell me again…why did they have kids, if they didn’t plan on having the time to raise them by spending time with them to instill their values and share their insights about the world while creating a healthy living environment? Right!

What ever you are doing…do it mindfully. Be present…PRESENT in the moment…be here now. Your children will become a more integral part of your day and evening…your entire life…with a positive impact on future generations when you take and make the time to spend with one another. Even if you have to learn how to text or send an email, communication shows them that you indeed CARE.

The reason why women and men experience FEAR is due to the lack of knowledge. We can change that together. Fear dissipates when you learn about your body and develop trusting relationships for the love of Life.
