You should keep one first-aid kit in your home and one in each car

Accidents happen. Someone chokes on an ice cube or gets stung by a bee. It is important to know when to call 1-0-1 – it is for life-threatening emergencies. While waiting for help to arrive, you may be able to someone’s life. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is for people whose hearts or breathing has stopped and the Heimlich maneuver is for people who are choking. CPR should only be done if you have had the training.

You can also learn to handle common injuries and wounds. Cuts and scrapes, for example, should be rinsed with cool water. To stop bleeding, apply firm but gentle pressure, using gauze. If blood soaks through, add more gauze, keeping the first layer in place. Continue to apply pressure.

It is important to have a first aid kit available. Keep one at home and one in your car. It should include a first-aid guide. Read the guide to learn how to use the items, so you are ready in case an emergency happens.

A well-stocked first-aid kit, kept within easy reach, is a necessity in every home. Having supplies gathered ahead of time will help you handle an emergency at a moment’s notice. You should keep one first-aid kit in your home and one in each car. Also be sure to bring a first-aid kit on family vacations.

Mature Workers

2. Make sure they know how much you value their role modeling of certain tasks and behaviors. Specifically look for things they do well, and begin to notice and compliment them on those items. Thank them as often as you can without making them suspicious.

3. Make a special effort to get to know them better. Find out more about their interests. Ask them to share stories of “how it used to be” in the organization. Laugh with them about changes they have seen. Fully engage your sense of humor with them.

4. Ask them for their opinion on a decision you are trying to make. Let them serve as your “special advisor” on certain things they may be good at. If you can’t use their idea, explain why and but thank them for listening to you and helping you talk it out—you know they’d help you think of the different angles. They will begin to beam with pride.

5. Delegate some kind of responsibility to them—something they like and can really take pride in. Monitor how they are doing, and thank them profusely for following through.

6. Ask them if they would like to participate in a special project, task force, or committee that is investigating some kind of policy change, process improvement, or other issue. Don’t make this a punishing assignment. Tell them you are especially looking for someone in that role from your department who has a broad perspective, and their years of experience will be an asset.

7. Encourage them to train or mentor new employees if they have even the slightest talent or interest in this. Often the mature employee and the new employee can both benefit from having this kind of interaction. Make sure you liberally thank and recognize your mature worker for passing along the wisdom. This should be perceived, in their mind and yours, as a privilege, not a chore.

8. If a special change is being implemented, give them a prominent role in the implementation. Even if they have been reluctant to embrace this change, and possibly especially when they have been reluctant, give them an important responsibility. Make sure they know that you picked them because you didn’t want “just anybody.”

9. If they have health or personal issues, show genuine concern. Let them know you want them to take care of themselves because it would be hard to operate without them.

Make sure you recognize this worker in front of peers and to your boss for any little new spark of enthusiasm you observe based on your new approach to them. With a conscientious and persistent effort on your part, you will be successful in improving the performance and commitment of many of your disengaged workers. This success gives you a real feeling of satisfaction—and makes you look good to your boss.

MATURE WORKERS

MATURE WORKERS

Best…or Worst?

Mature workers can be some of our finest: they are often the most knowledgeable, experienced workers we have. They often have a strong work ethic and a high level of commitment. They may have been in several positions or departments in the organization, so they have breadth of perspective.

But perhaps you have also seen the opposite with some older workers. Do you have an older worker who has become disengaged in his or her job? This person may have been with the organization for so long that everything seems automatic, and the future is taken for granted. They may appear to be biding time until they can retire (or win the lottery!), offering you just enough performance to keep their jobs. It would not, generally, be good for employee morale if you took a heavy-handed approach and fired someone like that. They have usually given good service to the organization in the past and are often well-liked. We know they are capable of so much more.

Re-engaging a Mature Worker

You may have one or more of these people working for you. Wouldn’t it be great to have someone with that much potential fully engaged on your team? Rather than assuming you simply have to accept their current level of performance or otherwise ignore them, take it on as a personal challenge that you will find a way to re-energize this individual. Plan to take at least three months to positively focus on improving their performance. What you want to do is increase their level of pride and commitment, and that takes a subtle approach. Try the following ideas.

1. Consider why they may be performing marginally. Maybe they have been passed over for a promotion in the past, for good reason or not. You can’t do anything to correct that situation, but it may help if you have more understanding of what has brought them to their current level of performance. You may be much younger than they are, and there could be some resentment or envy on their part of you as their manager. They’ve seen many others come and go, and they are not impressed with you or anyone else, for that matter.

If lack of promotion is not the problem, perhaps it’s lack of recognition or acknowledgement in the past from some of their bosses. You can do something about that, and you should. Keep reading…

MEANING

Back pain is a problem that can affect men as well as women. However, in most cases, people neglect it at the initial stage and get severely affected later. Generally, people in the age group of 45 to 59 suffer from this problem. However, it can affect all people – irrespective of age. A hectic lifestyle or wrong posture is the major cause of back pain

SIGNS & SYMPTOMS

• Intense pain in lower back and buttocks.
• Stiffness and problem in bending.
• Nausea or immobility can take place in severe cases.
• Researchers have also found that a slipped disc, in some of the cases, caused sciatica. If a person does not treat back pain then he might get digestive problems or sciatica.

CAUSES

• In most of the cases, damage to the ligaments and back muscles cause the problem of back pain.
• Sitting or standing in the wrong posture for a considerable period of time can be a cause for pain.
• Obese people have a greater chance of facing this problem than people who are slim. Arthritis or any other diseases related to the spine can be a cause for this problem.
• Scoliosis, which refers to irregular curvature of spine, is also a cause of back pain. If a person neglects back pain at the initial stage then it can lead to immobility.

YOGIC MANAGEMENT

• Simple back bend Yogasanas, like subird, locust and cat postures can be practiced to get relief.
• Hero pose practice can help in keeping the spine aligned.

• Matsyasana or fish pose is also effective.

HOME REMEDIES

• Chamomile tea is one of the best home remedies that offers relief from back pain. This tea produces a calming effect and helps in soothing the tense muscle tissues. Drinking one to three cups of this tea on a regular basis can be useful.
• Epsom salt is also a popular home remedy for back pain. It helps in the reduction of swelling. One needs to add two cups of this salt in a full bath tub and soak for 20 minutes.
• Rice can also be used for this treatment. Fill a thick and clean sock with a cup of uncooked rice. Then, the rice-filled sock needs to be placed for thirty seconds to one minute in the microwave at a medium to low temperature. A person can then check temperature and apply the sock to his back.

AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT

• Ayurvedic treatment aims to restore dosha to equilibrium. To restore dosha and come back to a normal state, it is recommended that a person performs regular purgation.
• Asthavargam, a herbal preparation, is internally administered.
• Basti, Abhyanga and Panchakarma treatments of Ayurveda can help in the correction of abnormalities and backache relief.
• Mahanarayana tailam, Triphala Guggul, Lakshadiguggul and Yogarajaguggul drugs can be useful to treat this condition.

Vitamin C May Fend Off Arthritis

Vitamin C May Fend Off Arthritis

Taking vitamin C supplements may help prevent osteoarthritis of the knee, a new study shows.

For the study, researchers surveyed 1,023 men and women (ages 40 and up) about their history of vitamin C supplementation. The participants also underwent a series of knee X-rays, which were performed once every two years. In analyzing their findings, the researchers found that study members who used vitamin C supplements were 11 percent less likely to develop osteoarthritis of the knee. Although the study's authors concluded that vitamin C supplementation "may indeed be beneficial" in prevention of osteoarthritis of the knee, their research did not examine how or why vitamin C might preserve joint health.

Maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and reducing inflammation may also help protect against osteoarthritis. For those struggling with osteoarthritis pain, natural remedies like white willow bark and bromelain may offer some relief.

Conflict Management

What is conflict and conflict management?

Conflict may be defined as a struggle or contest between people with opposing needs, ideas, beliefs, values, or goals. Conflict on teams is inevitable; however, the results of conflict are not predetermined. Conflict might escalate and lead to nonproductive results, or conflict can be beneficially resolved and lead to quality final products. Therefore, learning to manage conflict is integral to a high-performance team. Although very few people go looking for conflict, more often than not, conflict results because of miscommunication between people with regard to their needs, ideas, beliefs, goals, or values. Conflict management is the principle that all conflicts cannot necessarily be resolved, but learning how to manage conflicts can decrease the odds of nonproductive escalation. Conflict management involves acquiring skills related to conflict resolution, self-awareness about conflict modes, conflict communication skills, and establishing a structure for management of conflict in your environment.

How do people respond to conflict? Fight or flight?

Physiologically we respond to conflict in one of two ways—we want to “get away from the conflict” or we are ready to “take on anyone who comes our way.” Think for a moment about when you are in conflict. Do you want to leave or do you want to fight when a conflict presents itself? Neither physiological response is good or bad—it’s personal response. What is important to learn, regardless of our initial physiological response to conflict, is that we should intentionally choose our response to conflict.

Whether we feel like we want to fight or flee when a conflict arises, we can deliberately choose a conflict mode. By consciously choosing a conflict mode instead of to conflict, we are more likely to productively contribute to solving the problem at hand. Below are five conflict response modes that can be used in conflict.

What modes do people use to address conflict?

All people can benefit, both personally and professionally, from learning conflict management skills. Typically we respond to conflict by using one of five modes: 5

• Competing

• Avoiding

• Accommodating

• Compromising

• Collaborating

Each of these modes can be characterized by two scales: assertiveness and cooperation. None of these modes is wrong to use, but there are right and wrong times to use each. Our one day seminar on Conflict Management describe the five modes. The information may help each team member to characterize her/his model for conflict management.

Treatment of Obesity

Obesity is fast becoming a major cause of disease and death like cigarette smoking. Almost 25% of Americans are obese. The other countries are also showing increase in obese people. In India there is overall increase in number of obese people but especially it is more common in northern parts of India.

Weight gain after pregnancy has become very common these days. Apart from physiological reasons, this weight gain may be due to thyroid dysfunciton, birth control pills, stress and so on. Stress releases some hormones in the body which lead to weight gain. Sometimes, allopathic drugs such as anti depressants and anti psychotic drugs are given for depression after pregnancy, which can lead to further weight gain.

There are a lot of treatment options and remedies available in the market for obesity. But almost all of them are associated with serious side effects and toxicity except Alternative Medicines And mind you side effects of drugs kills more people in United States than road accidents.

In homeopathy there are 189 remedies for obesity. The choice of remedy depends upon the complete case history of the patient. This is very unique to Alternative Medicines A remedy is tailormade for a particular patient not like other therapies where all are given the same drug may be having different trade names. This is the reason that homeopathy is free from side effects whereas other therapies have toxic effects on a person.

For example, Fucus vesiculosus is chose by a homeopath when the patient also has thyroid problem and is constipated. It is also helpful in burning up the fat tissues. Phytolacca berry is chosen when we have to increase the metabolic rate. A homeopath may choose Calcarea carbonicum if the patient is fair, fatty and flabby with depression and constipation. So, in homeopathy the choice of remedy depends upon the complete symptomatology of the patient.

In my medical practice I use the homeopathic program for obesity or weight management Designed by Dr. Sucheta Unnithan . This program consists of 4 Cs – Change, Control, Cleanse, Caloric Reduction.

Change: Use smaller plates, eat with the non dominant hand i.e. if you are a right-handed person you should eat with left hand and vice versa, do not read or watch TV while eating, chew every bite twenty times.

Control: The right homeopathic remedy with a help of a professional homeopath to control obesity.

Cleanse: Drink lots of water. Exercise atleast 45 minutes daily; any type of exercise would do; it may be walking, jogging, playing a sport, anything. Your homeopath may add homeopathic remedies for liver and kidney elimination. All the above mobilize the accumulated toxic substances in the body to be washed away.

Caloric Reduction: Eat lots of green leafy vegetables and fruits with high fibre content and low calories and sugar.

The above obesity treatment program has given me amazing results in patients who are committed and follow the instructions and remedies given.

Thus, homeopathy offers a safe, long lasting and holistic solution for fat loss in obese people. The remedies are composed of natural elements in minuscule doses with absolutely no side effects. In dealing with the problem, it goes to the very root of it, is gentle on the body and takes into account the emotional and psychological aspects of a patient.

International research shows that homeopathic medicines are extremely effective in reducing weight and offer fast weight loss as they help to burn calories faster by speeding up the metabolic rate.

As most people are now aware, losing weight is no longer about looking good but being healthy. Homeopathy helps in doing so safely, surely and systematically so that the weight that comes off stays off.
