-MAY LITTLE ANGEL-

I never thought there’s a post for PMS.. No wonder I’m behaving like pompuan gila merampus x tentu sebab, x kira masa huhuhu..

“ PMS used to mean Pre-Menstrual Syndrome, but more and more women complain about having the same symptoms AFTER the period. (Actually some even have pain in the middle of period).

Post-menstrual syndrome is one of the most discomforting things for a female. It’s quite true that she experiences some of the most dramatic mental and physical changes during this time. Almost one-third of women suffer from this problem in their child bearing years. But it does not happen once they reach menopause. Other irritable symptoms of PMS are loss of appetite or a huge appetite, an itching pain in the vagina felt during intercourse and a feeling of dizziness and vomiting. A painful feeling can also be felt in the chest because it is insensitive for a short time.

A woman shows erratic behavior during this time. Today, all over the world people are aware of the short-temperedness of females during this period. Some women may also exhibit aggressive behavior during this time. She can feel unreasonable mood swings which are often accompanied with terrible laughing or crying.

This physical behavior can include changes like weight gain owing to fluid absorption by her body and tiredness. Fluid retention by the body of a female can lead to a bloating of breasts, legs, arms and feet. She may even get cramps in her stomach, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. In extreme cases, a female may also kick into depression. Such symptoms can be exhibited by her for a period of 2 weeks after her menstrual cycle. Generally, such symptoms occur after the end of the menstrual cycle, but they can also happen during the cycle or before it.

The reasons for the occurrence of this syndrome are not known very well. The physical reactions can be attributed to the physical changes that happen inside her body during ovulation, but there is no explanation for the psychological changes. The hormones get released during the periods and after it which triggers such emotional overhaul.

Women who suffer from some ailment are more likely to experience a post menstrual syndrome. An unhealthy lifestyle can be one of the major reasons, which accentuates the negative effects of the PMS. Such lifestyle consists of many factors like excessive smoking and drinking of coffee. Lack of any physical exertion also leads to such symptoms in post menstrual syndrome. Even women who are exposed to environments continuously laden with high pollution elements become a victim of such heavy psychological disturbances during PMS. Other factors that lead to irregularities in the menstrual cycle are insomnia and stress.”

Nasal congestion in babies can lead to a number of health problems associated with breathing and sleeping difficulties.

A young mother once brought her eight-month old son to me with a request to provide an acupuncture or acupressure treatment that would help to alleviate his stuffy nose. While asking about her baby's health history, I discovered that his nasal congestion came about whenever his body experienced a cold. Dried-up mucous obstructed his nasal passageway, making it difficult for him to breathe and sleep.

I also learned that the baby's mother did her very best to keep her baby from crying for any reason. She was deeply committed to raising her baby according to principles of attachment parenting. Whenever her baby began to fuss due to discomfort that he felt from his stuffy nose, she would immediately hold him to her chest and soothe him before he could get too upset.

I explained to the mother that in her baby's case, it was possible that allowing him to cry for several minutes whenever he became too uncomfortable with his stuffy nose could actually solve his problem.

Whenever any of us cry, excess tears flow toward the inner corner of each of our eyes and enter two tubes called the lacrimal ducts. From our lacrimal ducts, our excess tears flow down a bigger tube called the nasolacrimal duct, which actually opens into our nasal passageway. This is why a "runny nose" can accompany a good crying session.

Allowing a baby to cry and produce tears when he or she is bothered by a nasal passageway that is plugged up by dried-up mucous can actually send tears into the nasal passageway to dissolve the mucous.

In the young mother's case, this advice led to considerable improvement in her baby's comfort level, as her baby's tears effectively softened and helped to eliminate dried-up bits of mucous from his nasal passageway. She also followed my suggestion to use a soft cloth to dab at her baby's nostrils every once in a while when he cried to help "wick" excess tears and mucous away from his nasal passageway.

Some other suggestions that I shared with her:

1. Before giving her baby a bath at night, sit with her baby in the bathroom with a hot shower running to create a steam room. About 15 minutes of being in a steam room can also help to soften dried-up mucous in a baby's nasal passageway.

2. While in the bath or by the sink, use her cupped hand to bring small amounts of warm water up against her baby's nostrils, giving him the opportunity to draw some of it up into his nasal passageway.

3. Use a warm mist humidifier while her baby sleeps.

4. Be sure to avoid pasteurized dairy products, which can lead to nasal congestion of a different variety - one that is related to a food allergic reaction that thickens the mucous membrane in the nasal passageway, making it difficult to breathe. This is applicable to the baby and his or her mom if the baby is still being breastfed.

5. Strive to keep her baby's sleep and play areas relatively free of dust. When breathed in regularly, dust can contribute to larger bits of dried-up mucous. Dust can also stimulate an allergic-type reaction that can cause nasal congestion in the same manner that food allergic reactions can.

I hope that this post ends up being helpful to some mothers and babies out there. If you know of any other helpful tips for addressing nasal congestion in babies, please consider sharing them in the comments section below.

Cepat2 sembuh demam selsema yer baby baik mama ni..

Sumber dari sini.. sekadar berkongsi sebagai peringatan untuk diri sendiri kebaikan berpantang cara tradisional ;p

Ingin saya berkongsi pengalaman serta sedikit panduan mengenai pantang larang selepas bersalin mengikut adat orang Melayu Tradisonal yang tidak melanggar sama sekali hukum Islam yang murni.

HARI PANTANG SELAMA 44 HARI.

Seseorang ibu akan dijaga selama 44 selepas bersalin. Masa ini juga dikenali sebagai masa pantang iaitu ibu akan dikenakan beberapa pantang larang. Pada masa ini kesihatan ibu dijaga dengan begitu rapi. Antaranya adalah soal pemakanan semasa pantang.

Tidak dibenarkan sama sekali memakan makanan yang boleh menyebabkan gatal dan merebak luka seperti udang, sotong, ayam dan lain-lain lagi. Dalam masa pantang mengikut pengalaman saya makanan yang dihidangkan sewaktu saya dlm pantang dlm minggu pertama ialah ikan haruan dimasak sup dicampur dengan halia agar luka2 yang terdapat didalam badan atau diluar badan dapat sembuh secepat mungkin. Makanan -makanan yang berangin seperti nangka, pulut, petai, ubi kayu dan sebagainya dilarang sama sekali diambil ditakuti menyebabkan penyakit angin umpamanya kembung perut. Dlm hal ini makanan perlu dijaga jika tidak menjejaskan kesihatan ibu terutama yang menyusukan anak.

Jangan makan makanan yang berminyak pula, ia boleh menyebabkan 'batu merian' berada dalam keadaan tidak betul. Ini kerana selepas bersalin keadaan tempat peranakan masih lagi kembang dan jika makanan tidak dijaga 'batu merian' akan turun dan menjadikan ibu itu berada dalam keadaan tidak selesa. Seeloknya dinasihatkan memakan halia muda yang ditumbuk halus dicampur dengan air asam dimakan dengan nasi panas boleh membuatkan badan siibu berada dlm keadaan panas senantiasa. Bagus untuk pelancaran air susu.

Bolehlah menempah tukang urut untuk mengurut serta membetulkan balik sistem urat saraf dlm badan. Seeloknya dilakukan selepas luka2 yang ada baik seperti sediakala. Ianya memakan masa lebih kurang 3 atau 4 hari jika anda bersalin secara normal dan mengamalkan memakan ikan haruan dan pati ikan haruan serta air gamat. InsyaAllah luka anda akan baik cepat.

Selepas diurut sudah tentu siibu akan rasa bertenaga seperti sediakala namun itu bukan bermakna siibu boleh melakukan kerja-kerja berat. Dilarang mengangkat benda2 berat kerana ditakuti memudaratkan tempat peranakan ibu itu. Benda berat ini juga ditakuti menimpa ibu jari kaki. Ini kerana urat dari ibu jari kaku bersambung sampai kepeha dan seterusnya ke dalam rahim ibu. Kalau terkena ibu jari, darah akan 'tumpah;. Darah yang berterusan keluar akan membawa maut. Oleh itu pesan orang-orang lama ibu dlm pantang ni jalan tu hendaklah perlahan2 dan berhati-hati supaya ibu jari kaki tidak terhantuk dengan mana2 benda keras.

Tentang penjagaan diri pula ibu hendaklah berada dlam keadaan yang bersih. Bagi yang menyusukan badan puting susu hendaklah dibersihkan selalu. Perlu diingatkan pada ibu dlm pantang selalulah menggunakan air suam bila menggunakan air. Tidak kira semasa membasuh tangan, membasuh kaki, membasuh mulut serta lebih elok jika mandi dengan air rebusan akar2 kayu. Orang tua saya mengamalkan mandi serai wangi dan tujuh jenis daun yang dipilih bagi mengelokkan sistem peredaran darah. disamping badan siibu berbau harum. Jgn bertinggung seeloknya duduk bersimpuh sewaktu mandi.

Pemakaian ubat-ubatan seperti jamu, kapur dicampur dengan air limau untuk mengempiskan perut amatlah baik untuk diamalkan. Ianya dapat mengembalikan kembali bentuk badan kepada yang asal.

Perasaan ibu2 semasa dlm pantang hendaklah dijaga jgn sampai tertekan dan terkejut. Ini boleh menyebabkan darah akan 'naik' ke kepala. Jika ini terjadi, ibu akan meracau dan mengganggu fikirannya. Ini dipanggil sebagai 'gila merian'

Bagi yang ingin menziarah seelok-eloknya ziarahlah pada waktu siang hari.

Inilah serba sedikit pantang larang yang saya ikuti sejak melahirkan anak pertama dan kedua. Alhamdulillah ini adalah satu cara awet muda yang baik jika dapat diamalkan secara baik.

p/s: Sbb tu la mama saya suruh bwk mengucap byk2 bila saya menjerit mengamuk kt Aulia huhuhu..

DOA AKHIR TAHUN HIJRAH
Doa Akhir Tahun dibaca 3 kali pada akhir waktu Asar atau sebelum masuk waktu Maghrib pada akhir bulan Zulhijjah. Sesiapa yang membaca doa ini, Syaitan berkata:

"Kesusahan bagiku dan sia-sia lah pekerjaanku menggoda anak Adam pada setahun ini dan Allah binasakan aku satu saat jua. Dengan sebab membaca doa ini, Allah ampunkan dosanya setahun"

DOA AWAL TAHUN
Doa Awal Tahun dibaca 3 kali selepas maghrib pada malam satu Muharram. Sesiapa yang membaca doa ini, Syaitan berkata :

"Telah amanlah anak Adam ini daripada godaan pada tahun ini kerana Allah telah mewakilkan dua Malaikat memeliharanya daripada fitnah Syaitan".
