[P79]Partnership For Drug Free
by Franchis, Fra
Drug is commonly used to treat the instability of health for a person. It can be dangerous for health if we take drugs regularly. It is a material to stifle the awful condition of health in your body. If you use drugs for unwanted reason it will be called as drug violence. Drug should be used only for bad health not for fun. You can find plenty of prohibited drugs in the market which can make you attract to it.

Once you attract to such kind of drugs it is very hard to get out of it. These unnecessary drugs can be classified as steroids, sedatives, stimulants and narcotics. Not only these drugs which are unwanted which harm your health, there are some prescribed drugs which can also harmful for a person if we take them frequently. Drugs like pain killers, tranquilizers and some cough syrups which sold in the market should not use frequently. Even drugs like heroin and cocaine are illegal to sell in the market for consumer health point of view.

To build up their bodies some of the sportsmen use drugs like steroids, narcotics and some depressants. Not only that you can find drug in drink like coffee and some energy drinks is called as caffeine. People who smoke will find drug called as nicotine. Such kind of drugs is very hard to get rid of. Once a person is captivated to all these drugs it will be very difficult to stop him using those drugs.

People who use these drugs in daily life will be mentally and physically depend on these drugs. Once the person is in to it, then it will be very hard to withdraw him from stop using these drugs. People who commit small offences of using illegal drugs and habituated to these drugs are sent to rehab centres rather than sending them to prison. There rehab centres teach the addicted patients what are the disadvantages of getting used to these drugs. And the problems they will face in future. They give psychotherapeutic treatment for the addicted patients for a drug free environment.

Persons who are taking such kind of psychotherapeutic treatments will need support from parents, family members and friends. These persons can be treated in different ways as per their conditions. If a patient is willing to listen to the doctor and withdraw using drugs, then he will be treated for physiological effects. Then he will be given a counselling lesson how to stay out of these drugs.

1) Pregnancy and herbs. Okay, so you're pregnant. Great !! The most important 9 months of your life .The most important 9 months for staying healthy and feeling stress free. But you need to stay healthy without pumping your system full of artificially created drugs . Drugs should only be used in cases of emergency but lots of times during your pregnancy you will feel under the weather, below par both physically and mentally. If you don't turn to drugs what do you turn to ?

Actually there are lots of ways to stay healthy during pregnancy. All of them are based on natural medicine . All of them can be effective in helping you look great and feel great for the most important 9 months of your life. Herbs are the first area to look at.

So what are they ? What are the main ways of keeping healthy during pregnancy ?

This article is the first in a series of 10 which will look at feeling good and looking great when you're pregnant.

The first area I'm going to look at is pregnancy and herbs. Herbs are natural . Herbs have been used in the treatment of medical problems for thousands of years and they can be used to help you feel good and deal with some common pregnancy and day to day ailments.

Today most of us neglect them but they can help.

You need to know, however, which herbs are safe to use during pregnancy and which are better to avoid.. You need to know what risks may be involved in using herbs. And always check with a medical oractitioner before use.

The Risks:

a)Herbs can lead to miscarriage, injury to the foetus or premature birth.

b)Whereas prescribed drugs are subject to scrutiny for safety by the FDA vitamins and natural herbs do not go through this safety validation process.

c)A few herbal products for sale may possibly contain ingredients that are contraindicated in pregnancy.

d)Professional advice underwritten by the FDA is that if you are pregnant you should not take any herb without first consulting an experienced herbalist, your midwife and doctor. This does, of course, make perfect sense .It would be foolish to take anything even a natural herb without first checking on its safety.

Herbs you should not take during pregnancy;

a)Blue Cohosh- can induce labor b)Goldenseal- this could cross the placenta. c)Dong Quai d)Ephedra e)Yohimbe f)Passionflower g)Pennyroyal.

Herbs which are safe to take during pregnancy:

a)Ginger root- ginger has been used for years in the treatment of sickness and nausea. b)Oats and Oat Straw- these are fantastic sources of calcium and magnesium and will help you to control anxiety ,restlessness and sore skin. c)Peppermint leaf- again useful in helping to control morning sickness and flatulence. d)Red Raspberry leaf- this contains abundant amounts of iron so can help increase the production of milk, reduce nausea and even help control and reduce labor pains. e)Slippery Elm bark- use the inner bark. This can help with vaginal irritation.

In addition garlic, dandelion, and chamomile are noted for their healing properties. Chamomile is relaxing and can help you sleep, whilst garlic is great for the blood, and dandelion can help relieve mild edema.

In summary herbs, if taken properly and sensibly and in consultation with your midwife and professional herbalist, can help you to continue to feel healthy and look great during pregnancy. As with anything else some have tremendous benefits but others could do you harm. Be sure to take care.
