#axzz2OHpMWJuR']This Pain Management Guide - STOMP Booklet (STructure your Own Management of Pain) was sent to me by a friend and it contains a wealth of information. You can choose to download it or read it online. It's free. It's from the Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, Washington.

I received a spice rack as a present. Most of the things are ingredients I will definitely use such as basil, thyme, oregano, celery salt and so forth, but why do they always fill space with stuff people rarely use? Fenugreek, mustard seed, coriander seed, fennel seed; I don't think I've ever...

I like garlic but when I eat it these days I get really queasy. I can eat small amounts, like a slice of garlic bread or a little cooked in food, but if there is too much, I get ill. I wonder if I may have some sort of allergy to it. It gets worse every time I eat something with too much garlic.

Can anyone recommend some kind of supplement or herb that helps to increase energy levels? It needs to be something that also doesn't effect the blood pressure and is easy on the stomach.

We made these years ago and they smell so good. I decided to make some this year. It doesn't take much work or supplies. You just need a couple oranges, some cloves, and some spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, a piece of ribbon, some straight pins, and a paper bag. Tie the ribbon around the...

I really think I could benefit from acupuncture. The pain specialist I see for my back even suggested it and said it might help me. I just can't afford it, though. I wish things like this were covered under insurance. If anyone has had success with getting this covered through insurance I would...

The doctor started me on prescription eye drops because the regular ones didn't seem to be helping. I hate having to put more drugs into my system. The Restasis may take up to six months to start working. Which herbs are the best for good eye health?

This is an interesting article. It is called "42 Flowers You Can Eat". I knew about some of these and that people use them as pretty garnishes for their dishes. There are others here that surprised me. http://www.treehugger.com/green-food/42-flowers-you-can-eat.html

I went to a flea market the other day and a person was selling homemade candles. Most of them were wonderful but she had a couple that were pretty questionable. One was called New Car Scent and it smelled like hot plastic and another was called Simply Suede. That one may as well have been named...

Twenty-six people have become ill from prepackaged salads and wraps that were sold at Walgreen's, Trader Joe's, and Whole Foods in eight states. If you have bought any of these types of items from there recently, please look at this link for more details...

Can anyone recommend any books or instruction video that you have personally found to be helpful? This is something that I really want to learn how to do. I have looked through a few books, but mainly they list recipes and talk about soap making from the point of view that the reader will...

I have been using visualization to manage stress and take me to my "happy place" when things get rough. I suffer from chronic pain and it does seem to help me get centered and focus my thoughts in another direction. Does anyone else here use visualization?

I have been avoiding it like the plague but it seems to be in everything on the store shelves. I am glad to see some manufacturers are leaving it out due to public backlash against it. Studies show that it does not break down in the body the same way as regular sugars do.

I know it has been sold for several years now, but what about before then? Why the sudden surge in popularity? I have tried it and I know it's a pretty good sugar substitute, I just wonder why it took so long to come onto the market.

I have a couple sunny windows and I'd like to try to grow a few different herbs indoors so I have something fresh to add to foods this winter. I have been successful with a basil plant and mint. Do you have any "window herbs"?
