Book Description
Essential tremor, a benign condition that causes people to shake when they move, affects men and women of all backgrounds and health conditions. Although no actual cure exists for this condition, there are numerous ways to determine potential causes or triggers of essential tremor and mitigate the symptoms. In Natural Remedies for Essential Tremor, certified nutritional consultant and naturopath Donna M. Gagnon helps readers identify common causes of this neurologic condition and then shares natural remedies to help heal the brain and spinal column, thereby reducing both the symptoms of essential tremor and the risk of other neurodegenerative diseases. Divided into four parts, this book provides an overview of essential tremor, a discussion on conventional treatments available, a detailed explanation of 24 natural remedies to relieve symptoms, and an invaluable section that helps readers put all of the pieces together and design a personalized plan. Clear, concise, and packed with information on both disease and treatment, Natural Remedies for Essential Tremor is a wonderful resource for anyone who suffers from this condition-or cares about someone who does.

Book Description
Essential tremor (ET) is a common movement disorder. It affects about four out of one-hundred people. Many of us have it but never seek treatment. Sadly, ET robs a person, stealing away, sometimes slowly and other times quickly, skill-based physical pleasures. For Greg, it first took his ability to fish, one of his great joys. Then it took his ability to hold a job. This is a hopeful, and helpful, book. We tremble. We, tremblers, need help with some day-to-day tasks. However, when we decide to retake control of our lives we discover new joys. Greg lost fishing but picked up gardening. Because people with essential tremors have other issues, we decided to add a chapter for each of the common issues with some helpful tips. If you tremble and have stress, anxiety, sleep problems, tinnitus, depression, or dizziness, this book is for you. If you stammer, are embarrassed, and feel isolated, we offer suggestions to help. We hope people who live with a trembler will read our book. It may help you understand your child, parent, partner or spouse. Helping tremblers is hard work for the trembler and the helper. Finally, we hope doctors, physician's assistants, and nurses, will spend two or so hours reading our book. You are essential partners with us. Thank you for choosing this book.

Book Description
What are possible causes of tremors? What natural remedies can help to calm them? A variety of natural therapies have proven useful for sedating tremors. These include supplements, essential oils, herbs, foods, aroma therapy, stress reduction, trauma release, sound therapy, vibration therapy, energy healing, transformation of beliefs and activating the limitless power of the mind. These suggestions for calming tremors are inspired by Robert Rodgers PhD, founder of Parkinsons Recovery, who has focused his research program since 2004 on identifying and documenting natural therapies that help to reverse symptoms of Parkinson's disease. His research reveals there are a surprising number of natural therapies that help to calm tremors in particular. The challenge turns on deciding which therapies to pursue. People with tremors find themselves in a terrible situation.Tremors create stress. Stress, in turn, is one of the primary causes of tremors in the first place. It is a vicious cycle the loops around and around with no end in sight. Finding therapies that succeed in calming tremors helps in the long run to reduce stress and, of course, sedate tremors. The key to success is taking control of the tremor rather than allowing the tremor to control you. Therapies introduced in this book are all ones that put you in the driver's seat.
