Cold Weather and Eczema

Winter exacerbates eczema, a skin condition characterized by inflammation and itchiness. The cold, dry air strips the skin of its natural moisture, leading to increased sensitivity and irritation. Harsh winds and indoor heating systems further contribute to the problem, aggravating existing symptoms. To combat winter-induced eczema, prioritize hydration by using rich moisturizers and gentle, fragrance-free skincare products. Avoid hot showers that can strip away natural oils and opt for lukewarm water instead. Dress in layers to protect the skin from extreme temperatures, and consider using a humidifier to add moisture to indoor air. Regular skincare maintenance is crucial to manage eczema during the winter months.

Vibroacoustic Therapy for Dementia

The prevalence of dementia is increasing with the ever-growing population of older adults. Non-pharmacological, vibration and sound-based interventions were reported by the Lancet Commission in 2020 to be the first-choice approach for managing the behavioural and psychological symptoms. Vibroacoustic Therapy is a therapeutic approach that harnesses the power of vibration and sound to alleviate some of the cognitive and emotional challenges faced by individuals living with dementia. Vibroacoustic therapy can trigger positive emotional responses, evoke memories, and enhance communication among dementia patients. It offers a non-pharmacological complement to manage symptoms and enhance the quality of life for both patients and their caregivers, fostering a sense of connection and comfort during a challenging journey.

Why Drink Red Rooibos?

Red rooibos tea offers a plethora of health benefits and sensory delights. It’s naturally caffeine-free, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a soothing, non-stimulating beverage. Rich in antioxidants, it bolsters the immune system and helps combat oxidative stress, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Red rooibos is also appreciated for its potential to lower blood pressure and promote good cholesterol levels. Its anti-inflammatory properties may alleviate allergy symptoms and skin conditions. Furthermore, the tea is a source of essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and zinc, benefiting bone health. Beyond health advantages, its earthy, slightly sweet flavor makes it a comforting and satisfying drink.

NOVEMBER IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN MANITOBA
THE ISSUE
Intimate partner violence (IPV), also know as spousal or domestic violence is a prevalent form of gender-based violence (GBV). It refers to multiple forms of harm caused by current or former intimate partner
or spouse. Children who are exposed to IPV have serious impacts, and is considered a form of child maltreatment. IPV can happen in many forms of relationships including:
• Within a marriage, common-law, or dating relationship
• Regardless of the gender and sexual orientation of the partner
• At any time during a relationship even after it has ended
• Whether or not partners live together or are sexually intimate with one another

IT IS A GLOBAL PROBLEM: The World Health Organization (WH0) identifies IPV as a major global public health concern, and a pervasive public health, human rights & development challenge. It affects millions of people, resulting in immediate long-lasting health, social and economic consequences. Its effects reverberates through families, and across generations. It is a leading cause of death among adolescents and young adults in most parts of the world. Exposure to IVP increases individual’s lifelong vulnerability to a broad range of emotional, behavioural, and physical health problems. IPV directly effects health care expenditures, & indirectly national and local economies worldwide.(WHO).
