What is Sciatica and how can osteopathy alleviate it? (Part 1)

Sciatica is a painful condition that is associated with nerve pain that can be felt in the lower back, buttocks area and can extend down the entire leg. While sciatica can be extremely unpleasant and painful, it also causes weakness in the legs and can severely restrict movement.

Herbs

Today, garlic is a familiar household herb, and we often forget its true properties and health benefits. Before the advent of anti-biotics, garlic was one of the herbs often used to assist with many health conditions and diseases. Studies now show that garlic, apart from having potent anti-microbial, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties, can also lower high blood pressure and assist with hyperlipidemia and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

While quality protein and amino acids are crucial during pregnancy and child’s development, they are also important for healthy ageing and brain health. That is why elderly adults over the age of 65 should increase their protein intake to prevent or at least delay cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disease.
