Download or read book Bizarre Medicine written by Ruth Clifford Engs and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This encyclopedia explores historical and contemporary fringe remedies seen as strange, ridiculous, or even gruesome by modern Western medicine but which nevertheless played an important role in the history of medicine. From placing leeches on the neck to treat a cough to using crocodile dung to prevent pregnancy, a number of medical treatments that now seem unusual were once commonplace. While a few of these remedies may have been effective, most were either useless or actually counterproductive to good health. Even today, there are alternative and fringe treatments considered bizarre by mainstream medicine yet used by hundreds of thousands of people. Bizarre Medicine: Unusual Treatments and Practices through the Ages offers a fascinating look into the history of medicine. Entries are organized by disease or medical condition and explore the folk and traditional "cures" used to treat them. Explanations are provided for why some treatments may have worked and why others may have done more harm than good. In addition, entries provide a clear description of the causes, symptoms, and current treatment options for each condition based on current scientific understanding. Each entry also discusses the condition's enduring impact on society and the arts.

This book was released on 2021-08-30 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aromatherapy has become quite popular as people have discovered the many benefits that this natural alternative medicine has to offer. Aromatherapy is basically a holistic healing therapy which makes use of various natural plant essences to promote overall health and well being. In some cases it is also called alternative medicine or even aromatherapy. Aromatherapy makes use of certain aromatic essential oils to enhance the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health of the individual. When you get into an aromatherapy session, you will be using essential oils such as lavender, jasmine, eucalyptus, geranium, and Rosemary which can help you attain a relaxed and calming state. You can expect your senses to be soothed and calmed while the essential oils work on various physical and mental disorders. You might feel energized after having an aromatherapy session which will make you feel good about yourself. This will have a positive impact on your mood, which in turn improves your overall performance and attitude in life. Aside from the different benefits that aromatherapy has to offer, another great way of experiencing its benefits is through the use of aromatherapy diffusers. There are many diffusers available in the market today that are designed to produce different kinds of fragrances. If you want to experience all the benefits of aromatherapy and use aromatherapy diffusers to achieve the best results, then you should choose a diffuser which makes use of eucalyptus oil. Most of these diffusers work by giving out a scent through the use of eucalyptus oil drops so that you can easily breathe in the scent. This means that you won't need to use a carrier oil since the scent of the diffuser itself will give off the fragrance you need. Aromatherapy essential oils are very beneficial when it comes to aromatherapy treatment. These essential oils have been known for centuries for their antibacterial and antifungal properties, which are great for treating various health problems and disorders. One of these is the common problem of acne which affects a lot of people. Acne problems can be treated with the help of aromatherapy essential oils which have germicidal properties. There are also many people who choose to use aromatherapy oral remedies. This involves inhaling pure aromatherapy essential oils like eucalyptus or other essential oils before going to bed. On the other hand, there are also those who prefer applying topical aromatherapy to treat their illnesses such as colds, flu, and headache.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Hair written by Victoria Sherrow and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2023-03-30 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This popular volume on the culture of hair through human history and around the globe has been updated and revised to include even more entries and current information. How we style our hair has the ability to shape the way others perceive us. For example, in 2017, the singer Macklemore denounced his hipster undercut hairstyle, a style that is associated with Hitler Youth and alt-right men, and in 2015, actress Rose McGowan shaved her head in order to take a stance against the traditional Hollywood sex symbol stereotype. This volume examines how hair-or lack thereof-can be an important symbol of gender, class, and culture around the world and through history. Hairstyles have come to represent cultural heritage and memory, and even political leanings, social beliefs, and identity. This second edition builds upon the original volume, updating all entries that have evolved over the last decade, such as by discussing hipster culture in the entries on beards and mustaches and recent medical breakthroughs in hair loss. New entries have been added that look at specific world regions, hair coverings, political symbolism behind certain styles, and other topics.
