High blood pressure remains one of the most common and dangerous problems facing people today. It can lead to serious medical issues, including heart disease and stroke, so it is important for those who are prone to do what they can to keep their blood pressure under control. There are a host of different drugs intended to treat high blood pressure, but many individuals prefer to look for a natural approach instead. A lot of blood pressure medications can have unpleasant side effects, and many people have found that a combination of lifestyle changes and natural herbs can provide excellent results. There are a number of herbal remedies that have been used to treat high blood pressure, and there is a great deal of ongoing research into the effectiveness of various herbal preparations. Herbs have been used by indigenous cultures throughout the world for centuries, and science is finally beginning to take this vast store of traditional knowledge seriously. Among the herbs that have been used to treat high blood pressure are such household names as:
Valerian root is commonly used to reduce stress and tension
Garlic Ginkgo Biloba Valerian Root Cinnamon Ginger Nutmeg Hawthorn
Gingko Biloba is perhaps the most widely used and studied of these herbs, and remains the subject of a great deal of scientific examination. Gingko Biloba is thought to relieve high blood pressure through the relaxation of blood vessels, allowing blood to flow freely. Research shows garlic working in a similar fashion. Hawthorn is thought to be helpful at dilating blood vessels, thus lowering blood pressure. Valerian root is commonly used to reduce stress and tension, helping to keep blood pressure under control. Cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger are all beneficial for an array of reasons and can easily be included in one’s diet in a multitude of ways.
Diet and lifestyle changes can have a profound impact on blood pressure, and it is important for individuals to combine any herbal therapy with quality medical care, and healthy eating habits. Getting plenty of exercise and eating healthy foods can have as great an impact on blood pressure as medication, and it is important to treat this common condition with a whole body approach. This should include a combination of dietary changes, lifestyle changes, stress reduction, herbal therapies and traditional medical treatments.

DEBUNKING MYTHS SURROUNDING THE EFFECTS OF CHILDBIRTH DEBUNKING MYTHS SURROUNDING THE EFFECTS OF CHILDBIRTH AND AGING ON WOMEN’S HEALTH AND AGING ON WOMEN’S HEALTH
Dr. Dale Eubank, a board certified gynecologist with more than 30 years of experience, debunks some myths surrounding female health throughout the lifespan.
There are many unspoken assumptions women have regarding the effects of childbirth and aging on their physical and emotional health. Some of these assumptions include the inevitability of weight gain, decreased sexual health and desire, bladder issues, decreased vitality, mental focus, emotional wellbeing and energy levels. Many women approaching menopause tend to rule out any chance of enjoying the life they once knew; however, this is a myth. Women do not have to accept these things as they age, according to Dr. Eubank who practiced as an OBGYN for years before fully committing to help women throughout their lifespan maintain their self-image, confidence, sexual, physical and emotional health.
According to Dr. Eubank, it starts with women feeling comfortable to have the conversation with their health care providers about any of these issues they may be experiencing. There are many safe and effective non-surgical options available today. “We help women feel comfortable about discussing issues they previously thought were an inevitable part of aging and realize there are new, innovative, non-surgical options for feeling good and increasing vitality at every stage of life,” said Dr. Eubank.
It’s time for women to realize that they don’t have to accept declining physical, emotional and sexual health as an inevitable part of aging! If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, Dr. Eubank hopes that you don’t continue to suffer in silence. It’s time to start the conversation and seek new and available treatments so you too can say, “I got my ‘mojo’ back!” Dale Eubank, M.D., F. A.C.O.G. Dr. Eubank was born and raised in Central Texas and is a seventh generation Texan. He attended Baylor University where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in biology and subsequently attended University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas where he graduated as one of the top ten of his class. Dr. Eubank was elected into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society and received the Lang Memorial Publishing Award upon graduation. He subsequently did a residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Parkland Hospital in Dallas where he served as Chief Resident as well. Dr. Eubank is a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and a Board Certified Diplomat of the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and a member of the Society for Reproductive Medicine. He has run a private practice in Corpus Christi since 1983.
Dr. Eubank Shares Three Myths Surrounding Aging For Women
Myth 1: Weight gain is inevitable after 40
Weight gain does not have to be an inevitable part of aging. Maintaining optimal weight may become more challenging as we age due to changes in hormone levels and decreases in muscle mass, but by implementing some lifestyle changes and creating new habits, people at any stage of life can lose weight and maintain a healthy weight. Myth 2: Decreased sexual enjoyment and bladder issues are inevitable after childbirth and as women approach menopause
Today, there are comfortable, in-office treatments that can turn back the clock on the aging process. ThermiVa is a non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation treatment performed by a female nurse and supervised by Dr. Eubank. Read real patient reviews at www.realself.com/thermiva. Myth 3: Vitality decreases as women reach menopause
Declining hormone levels can cause negative effects on a woman’s physical, emotional, cognitive and sexual health which in turn can affect every aspect of a woman’s life and intimate relationships. Bio-Identical Pellet Hormonal Replacement Therapy (estrogen and testosterone) can help restore overall health, vitality and well-being by replicating a more natural release of hormones into the blood stream versus the peak and valley effects of pills or topical synthetic hormones.
