Morphine is one of the most famous pain killers available in the world and the vast majority of people will have an awareness of the drug. However, there are a whole host of dangers and difficulties that are associated with this form of medication which makes it a highly dangerous drug if people are unaware of exactly what they are letting themselves in for. One of the major negative elements associated with this form of drug is it slows down the respiratory system, in small doses this can be very beneficial to users but in greater doses, this can start to slow people down. One of the bigger problems when taking this drug is that people can feel disorientated or disconnected from the world, which can carry a whole host of problems and issues for any user. These people can become much sedated, whilst their pupils become very small, which can lead to them feeling out of touch with the world and almost in a dream like state.

For people who are struggling with reality, this outcome can be of great benefit and is a reason why this form of medication is abused but in the long term, this is not a positive state to be in. Choosing to live outside the normal constraints of reality is something that people look to escape to from time to time but it is clear that this carries problems. People can miss many things in their daily routine and if they have people depending on them or need to undertake certain tasks, this can greatly impact on the situation or their ability to do so.

Dentistry has been known to mankind ever since the advent of civilization. Ever since the very early settlements, medicine has always been practiced. While it is true that early forms of medicine were ridden with shamanism and superstition, it still was effective to some extent in preventing diseases and curing them. However, it took many centuries for it to be become refined and become an exact science. Since the very beginning, dentistry was an innate part of medicine. Similar to all other disciplines, dentistry became an exact science only in the Age of Enlightenment. Now dentistry is a vast field that has benefited from modern developments. It occupies an important role in the modern healthcare system.

The earliest attestation of dentistry comes from the Indus Valley Civilization. Archaeological finds from the various sites of the Indus Valley civilization indicate that bow drills were probably used in the treatment of dental disorders.

The winter is a time for hibernation. Our bodies want to slow down, our energy is a little lower, we want to sleep more, we want warm, heartier foods. Leaves are falling, animals are hibernating, plants are underground, nighttime comes sooner. How can we be in harmony in the Winter? By recognizing and accepting our connection to nature. The answer is around us.

In Chinese Medicine, Winter is the season of the Kidney organ. The Kidneys house the root of our energy – the energetic fire that activates all our body’s functions. The cold weather drives this “fire” deeply inward, where the body can conserve this energy so it is important to protect ourselves from cold. Make sure to protect the lower back area where the Kidneys are located. Wear lots of layers- a scarf, hat, and gloves. Protect yourself from the wind, especially wind hitting the back of your neck and your lower back.

The foods to eat are the ones that naturally grow in the Winter. Squashes, root vegetables, winter greens, mushrooms, apples, pears and citrus fruits. Foods harvested in the fall and dried for the winter include nuts, beans and grains. Fermented vegetables are a naturally preserved food that are wonderful to add beneficial enzymes and healthy bacteria to our diet. In the Winter our body needs warm foods- so soups made from vegetables and rich stocks made from animal bones are nourishing in this season. Drink warm herbal teas throughout the day to keep warm. As for cooking methods, it is best to bake, roast, stew and slow-cook foods in the Winter. Warming spices such as cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom are delicious to add to recipes. In Traditional Chinese Medicine we don’t recommend very hot spicy food in the Winter because these foods create sweating, which is actually a cooling process. However, a small pinch of hot spice helps increase circulation, which is beneficial. So, add a small amount of pepper and other flavorful spices for taste, but avoid lots of hot spices.
