Feeling shaky?

[Guest guest]

Feeling shaky? Essential tremor is a common condition, affecting millions of people worldwide. Characterized by the involuntary shaking of the hands, head, or neck, the symptoms and severity can vary from day to day, even hour to hour. Some people experience tremors when in certain positions, or when writing or eating. Unfortunately, no one knows the exact cause, though it is known that stress, anxiety, and fatigue may worsen the tremors. If you experience essential tremors, try the following (each may help to reduce the length and frequency of the tremors): Eliminate consumption of caffeine, including coffee, colas, and caffeinated tea. Limit alcohol. (A small amount of alcohol may temporarily reduce tremors, but should never be used to treat symptoms.)

Know the side effects of prescription drugs or herbs you are taking. Amphetamines, lithium, or ephedra can all exacerbate shaking. Begin a regular practice of relaxation techniques such as meditation or T'ai chi. Consider cranial osteopathy or some form of energy medicine such as Therapeutic Touch or Reiki. You might also experiment with acupuncture, hypnosis, and massage. Try herbal relaxants such as valerian. Follow the dosage directions on the products.

I have Essential Tremor and have found that Flax Oil and Cottage Cheese reduce

my tremor by about 40% or so when I stay on them consistently...
