Health Tip : Insect Bites

If you have a bite that is itching, slice an onion in half and rub one of the cut sides on the bite. you can keep the onion in a sealed container in the fridge and make a fresh slice if the itching starts again. the sulfur in the onion neutralises the chemicals that causes the itching.

Wow, you will be smelling of onion the whole day so make sure that you are not seeing clients.

Health Update : Clues to low back pain

Low back pain plagues nearly everyone at some point and can interfere with your life and work.

Hare a few possible causes that might explain why you're in pain :

• lifting an object and using your back, not your legs
• degenerative changes in the spine due to ageing
• straining your back during activities
• an injury to a disk in your spine
• spondylolisthesis - a condition in which the vertebrae slips out of place and put pressure on nerves in the spine
• spinal stenosis which occurs when the space around the spine narrows, resulting in pressure on nearby nerves and the spinal cord
• scoliosis, an abnormal curvature of the spine
