Lavender "'The King of Aromatherapy"

2006-09-25T02:09:00.000-07:00

Lavender can take much of the credit today for the revival of aromatherapy. It is my favourite Flower and the smell is nostalgic.
Lavender has been used for the healing powers for centuries and is the most popular and important essential oil today.
It seems there are endless uses for lavender: as an insect repellent,sleeping aid, soap, potpourri, shower gels, candles and incense sticks.
The essential oil is used in cosmetics, massage therapy and for treating certain skin conditions as lavender is one of the few essential oils that may be applied undiluted and directly to the skin.
Lavender is effective for treating headaches caused from tension or stress and period pains. Mix approximately 10 drops of lavender essential oil with 1oz of carrier oil such as almond or grape seed and massage into temples and nape of the neck to relieve stress or anxiety and relax the muscles. This will relieve headaches.
If suffering from period pain gently massage some of the oil on the lower back and tummy; it will ease the mental and physical pain as well as balancing your energies.
Lavender’s strong antibacterial action is especially beneficial for the treatment of burns, cuts, acne and other skin problems such as sunburn and damaged skin.
The undiluted oil may be applied directly to the skin to relieve pain incurred by insect bites and stings. If you have a bruise, then gently massage a drop of pure lavender essential oil over the area and then smooth on a small amount of diluted lavender oil. Repeat twice a day and the bruises will disappear within in a couple of days.
One of the most wonderful natural treatments for insomnia, put just a few drops of essential lavender oil on your pillow, and you will enjoy a restful sound sleep.
Too much will cause headaches. Or use some of the very popular lavender ‘sleep stones’ in a dish at your bedside. Remember lavender is physically and emotionally balancing.I myself have been using all these above mentioned remedies and it really works for me.(Pregenant woman please take advice before putting any of this in use)
That's all for now
so long...............

"Technology cannot replace teachers,"

2006-09-24T06:29:00.000-07:00

"Technology cannot replace teachers," Dr. Anil Balvankar, the principal of P.V.D.T. College of Education, SNDT University, Mumbai avers to say "E-learning is a revolutionary concept, but computers or anything cannot substitute teachers."

In fact, i feel taht all of us are students who learn something new every moment, and teachers build the base for future success. It's a noble profession that shapes an entire generation to serve the society and the nation. It involves being with children and young adults and helping them through formative years of their lives and solving their problems.

Many individuals simply love to do this, and naturally turn teachers. If you have an inborn desire to be in company of children and interact with them, then teaching is the profession for you ,the same reason prompted me towards this profession. A teacher can show the correct way to budding talents of tomorrow.

Rightly or wrongly, teaching has always been thought to be a suitable profession for women. The main reason touted for this is flexible working hours of schools that allow married women to choose this profession which might be true for few but,myself and the teachers, i spoke to, disagree with this. They say they are in teaching because they love the profession. A secondary teacher left a well-paid office job for working in a school because she always wanted to be a teacher. According to me Interacting with children gives immense satisfaction and sense of fulfillment which cant be deccribed in words. So Cheers...........to all the teachers,just keep the good work going.

Bye &take care
