Hearthside begins offering care cards in April 2010

2010-04-03T11:05:00.001-04:00

Gift cards offer respite for caregivers

Hearthside this month begins offering gift cards as a way to make home care more approachable.

In a $48 gift card, for example, a three-hour break - time is created to get out of the house, to get some needed sleep, or to run errands with the peace of mind that a family member is being cared for. No big commitment. No major cost.

Family caregivers often do not recognize themselves as needing a break, nor do they speak up about their needs. They see themselves as a devoted daughter, a loving wife, a mother, a father, or whatever it is and they think: 'It is my responsibility. I need to take care of Mom'.

Gift cards are a gentle, creative way of introducing home care. Perhaps call it respite packaged as pampering. But family members should be up front not to couch long-term needs in a three-hour gift card. The care card is a way to change that resistance and change that negative feeling that 'I need to be taken care of too'; it's a start.

To purchase, it's simple. Order online at http://hearthsidehomecare.com/?page_id=46 or Call Hearthside Home Care at 336-808-1351 or toll-free 866-808-1351, and tell us the details and we’ll gladly send the card to the recipient, as you request.

Sense of Smell Hijacked

2009-11-15T07:53:00.001-05:00

As aromatherapists, we often hear a client remark that they are allergic to something, say for example, lavender. Oftentimes, what the client is really referring to is an intolerance that has built up over the years from smelling or being exposed to synthetic fragrance, and so that when they are finally exposed to the pure essential oil or natural smell of lavender, for example, their hijacked sense of smell reacts negatively. It can take some time to adjust to natural smells again. This is not to be confused with truly medically diagnosed allergies to substances such as pure lavender. We suggest seeking medical attention whenever there is a concern regarding allergies.

How many New Year resolutions did you make this year? Focusing on fitness
and health made it into the top ten most common new year's resolutions with
only spending time with family and friends to beat it.

A lack of physical activity drains your body of energy. Sitting at your desk
all day hunched over your computer and sliding further into your chair as
the day progresses results in heavy legs, a tight lower back and a numb bum!
There are very good reasons for exercising that have nothing at all to do
with looking good naked!

In this webinar we will look at the mental and emotional benefits, including
improved self-esteem, psychological wellbeing and elevated moods that help
us to perform at our best and cope better during stressful times.

Sleep Apnea and Rockrose (Cistus ladaniferus)

Cistus (Cistus ladaniferus), or Rockrose, is 'on our lips' this week. We find ourselves using it in an inspiring blend customized by us for use in addressing sleep apnea with our clients, 8 male and 2 female, over the past 6 months. We and our clients have thus far experienced a 90% success rate in reduction and/or elimination of snoring.

What We Breathe and Smell

2009-05-17T08:58:00.003-04:00

Conditions, behaviors, moods, and habits we may want to stop or modify can be managed and controlled by what we breathe and smell! Sleeping difficulty, lethargy, anxiety, overeating, undereating, and tobacco smoking are a few of the common ones that I and my staff see and observe almost everyday in my practice and work with customers, clients, friends, and employees. For example, something as simple as diffusing some rosemary and/or peppermint essential oil into the air one breathes can quickly invoke greater mental alertness and sharpness.
