Lavender Prevents Falls in the Elderly

Video Information

Falls in nursing homes are 2-3 times more frequent than the elderly living at home. There is considerablel morbidity and mortality with falls, especially in those people who are weak, osteoporotic, have poor balance, or on drugs that have sedative effects. In a study using lavender patches for one year showed that there were fewer falls than those getting a placebo and that there was also less agitation. While this was a small study, it suggests lavender works and is far safer than drugs. A previous study several years ago showed that lemon balm also worked to help nursing home patients sleep better.

Horsetail containing silica is one of the most powerful ways to help reverse osteoporosis and even reverse tooth decay. In the 2003 book "Water & Salt," Dr. Barbara Hendel stated: "Silica is the most important trace mineral for human health!" In 1939, the Nobel Prize winner for chemistry, Professor Adolf Butenant, proved that life cannot exist without silica. According to his research in 1972 he states: "Silica is an essential nutrient and must be supplied continuously from food sources. As calcium in our body leaches, our bones become brittle and weak. Taking only a calcium supplement cannot correct or stop this crippling disease because the body cannot assimilate or make use of the calcium without the presence of silica. For purposes of re-mineralization of damaged bones, it is recommended that a sufficient silica supplement be taken daily. Silica is responsible for the depositing of minerals into the bones, especially calcium." (http://www.holisticwebs.com/cancer/silica.pd
