Native Americans Tribes and Regions Native Americ

Native Americans Tribes and Regions

Native Americans were often grouped into tribes or nations. These groupings were generally based on peoples that shared the same culture, language, religion, customs, and politics. There are over 1000 Native American Tribes in the United States.
Sometimes tribes were also grouped by the region of the United States they lived in (like the Great Plains Indians) or by the type of language they spoke (like the Apache). Below are some of the major groupings and tribes by region:

°Arctic/Subarctic - These Native Americans survived some of the coldest weather on the planet. They include the Inuit people of Alaska.

°Californian - Tribes living in the area that is today the state of California such as the Mohave and the Miwok.

°Great Basin - This is a dry area and was one of the last to have contact with Europeans. The Great Basin tribes include the Washo, Ute, and Shoshone.

°Great Plains - One of the largest areas and perhaps most famous group of American Indians, the Great Plains include the Blackfoot, Arapahoe, Cheyenne, Comanche and Crow.

°Northeast Woodlands - Includes the Iroquois Indians of New York, the Wappani, and the Shawnee.

°Northwest Coast/Plateau known for their houses made of cedar planks as well as their totem poles. Tribes include the Nez Perce, Salish, and the Tlingit.

°Southeast - The largest Native American tribe, the Cherokee, lived in the Southeast. Other tribes included the Seminole in Florida and the Chickasaw.

°Southwest - The southwest was dry and the Native Americans lived in tiered homes made out of adobe bricks. Famous tribes here include the Navajo Nation, the Apache, and the Pueblo Indians.

Other Major Groups:

°Algonquian
°Apache
°Iroquois
°Sioux Nation

Thanksgiving Traditions People all over the Unite

Thanksgiving Traditions

People all over the United States celebrate this day in many different ways.

Each year Americans in the United States celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday on the fourth Thursday of November. Most families follow traditions begun on the first Thanksgiving, but many have their own traditions that they follow each year.

Most years, one of the best things about Thanksgiving is spending time with family. Many people live far from family members and travel long distances by car, train, or plane to be with their loved ones. Thanksgiving is often one of the busiest travel days of the year!

Why Do We Eat Turkey on Thanksgiving?

If we're not even sure that the pilgrims ate turkey, then where did the tradition come from? We owe that one to Sarah Josepha Hale. During her campaign to make Thanksgiving a national holiday, Hale used her magazine, Godey's Lady's Book, to print recipes and sample menus to get housewives on board. Hale was planting the idea and expectations of what Thanksgiving should look like in the minds of American women, influencing an entire generation that would pass those menus on to their children.

In fact, many of the foods we associate with Thanksgiving—roast turkey with sage dressing, creamed onions, mashed turnips, and even some mashed potato dishes (a foreign concept back then)—were included in the magazine's Thanksgiving pages. Hale also published dozens of cookbooks filled with recipes that'd be welcome on Thanksgiving tables today.

Prostate Cancer Prostate cancer develops in the p

Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer develops in the prostate, a small walnut-shaped gland located below the bladder and in front of the rectum in men.

Prostate cancer is a serious disease. Fortunately, most people with prostate cancer get diagnosed before it spreads beyond their prostate gland. Treatment at this stage often eliminates the cancer.

Prostate cancer is common, second only to skin cancer as the most common cancer affecting men. Most will live normal lives and eventually die from causes unrelated to prostate cancer. Some won’t need treatment.

Still, approximately 34,000 people in the United States die from prostate cancer each year.

What are the symptoms of prostate cancer?

Early-stage prostate cancer rarely causes symptoms. These issues may occur as the disease progresses:

°Frequent, sometimes urgent, need to pee, especially at night.
°Weak urine flow or flow that starts and stops.
°Pain or burning when you pee (dysuria).
°Loss of bladder control (urinary incontinence).
°Loss of bowel control (fecal incontinence).
°Painful ejaculation and erectile dysfunction (ED).
°Blood in semen (hematospermia) or pee.
°Pain in your low back, hip or chest.

The most common risk factors include:

°Age. Your risk increases as you get older.
°Race and ethnicity. You’re at greater risk if you’re Black or of African ancestry.
°Family history of prostate cancer.
°Genetics.

Screenings can help catch prostate cancer early. If you’re average risk, you’ll probably have your first screening test at age 55. You may need earlier screenings if you’re in a high-risk group. Screenings usually stop after age 70.

You may need additional tests or procedures if screenings show you may have prostate cancer.

Native American Inventions That Revolutionized Med

Native American Inventions That Revolutionized Medicine And Public Health

Whether it’s the invention of vital infrastructure such as cable suspension bridges or sport for fun like lacrosse, so much of what exists in modern culture today is a direct result of what was created before newcomers occupied these lands.
Here are some inventions used every day in medicine and public health that we owe to Native Americans:

Syringes
In 1853 a Scottish doctor named Alexander Wood was credited for the creation of the first hypodermic syringe, but a much earlier tool existed. Before colonization, Indigenous peoples had created a method using a sharpened hollowed-out bird bone connected to an animal bladder that could hold and inject fluids into the body.

°Pain Relievers
Native American healers led the way in pain relief. For example, willow bark (the bark of a tree) is widely known to have been ingested as an anti-inflammatory and pain reliever. In fact, it contains a chemical called salicin, which is a confirmed anti-inflammatory that when consumed generates salicylic acid – the active ingredient in modern-day aspirin tablets.

°Oral Birth Control
Was introduced to the United States in the 1960’s as a means of preventing pregnancy. But something with a similar purpose existed in indigenous cultures long before. Plant-based practices such as ingesting herbs dogbane and stoneseed were used for at least two centuries earlier than western pharmaceuticals to prevent unwanted pregnancy.

°Sun Screen
For hundreds of years many Native cultures had a common skin application that involved mixing ground plants with water to create products that protected skin from the sun. Sunflower oil, wallflower and sap from aloe plants have all been recorded for their use in protecting the skin from the sun.

Diabetes symptoms in men Diabetes is a disease in

Diabetes symptoms in men

Diabetes is a disease in which your body can’t produce enough insulin, can’t use insulin, or both. When living with diabetes, the sugar levels in your blood can fluctuate. Uncontrolled high blood sugar levels can lead to complications that affect several major organs throughout the body.

Diabetes can creep in slowly with few recognizable symptoms at first, including frequent urination, weight loss, and fatigue.

Diabetes can also cause symptoms related to male sexual health:

Erectile dysfunction (ED)

It can be a symptom of many health issues, including:

°high blood pressure (hypertension)
°kidney disease
°circulatory conditions
°nervous system conditions
°obesity or overweight

Stress, smoking, or certain medication can also cause ED to occur.

Males with diabetes have a greater chance of developing ED. According to a 2017 meta-analysis of 145 studies, over 50% of men with diabetes have erectile dysfunction. The study included males with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes, with no distinction in the results between the two.

If you are living with diabetes and develop ED, diabetes may be the underlying cause.

Urologic issues can occur in males with diabetes due to diabetic nerve damage. These include:

°overactive bladder
°inability to control urination or leaking urine
°trouble urinating
°urinary tract infections (UTIs)

Risk factors in men

Many factors can increase your chance of developing diabetes and its complications, including:

°smoking
°being overweight
°avoiding physical activity
°having high blood pressure or high cholesterol
°being older than 45
°belonging to certain groups such as African-American, Hispanic, Native American, Asian-American, and Pacific Islander.

Native American

In the fifteenth century, when European settlers began to arrive in North America, the continent was richly populated with Native American communities. Hundreds of thousands of people lived in a wide range of environments from shore to shore, each community or nation with its own distinct culture.

The centuries that followed the arrival of Europeans were years of tremendous upheaval, as the expansion of settler territory and the founding and growth of the United States resulted in Native American communities being moved, renamed, combined, dispersed, and, in some cases, destroyed.

These dislocations and changes took place across many centuries, and each individual episode was marked by its own set of unique circumstances.
But all were driven by the relentless expansion of European settlement and U.S. territory, and by U.S. government policies that relegated the independence and well-being of Native Americans to secondary status, if that.

Native American communities today span the continent and continue to grow and change. But the mass relocations and other changes, most notably those of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, shaped many aspects of U.S. society in ways that persist today.

Today, Native American communities are diverse, complex, and can be found across the U.S., in cities and rural areas,on tribal land or far away. Tribal governments' relationships with federal, state, and local governments remain complex, and issues about land sovereignty and use are debated in legislatures and contested in the courts.

Facts About Men's Health

Many men do not make their health a high priority in their lives. The ailments that cause the most deaths and illnesses in men are either preventable or treatable.

Major risks to men’s health include heart disease, cancer, depression and the tendency to engage in risky behavior.

Men are less likely than women to visit the doctor, resulting in more hospitalizations and deaths from preventable conditions.

Regular checkups and health screenings can result in longer, healthier lives in most men.
Living a healthy lifestyle can prevent and treat most problems associated with men’s health.

From infancy to old age, men’s bodies go through diverse changes. It’s important for men to be aware of the changes taking place in their bodies. Older men may require different things than younger men in order to maintain their health.

Through their 20s and 30s, when men are in their physical prime, they mature and begin to stop engaging in risky behaviors. Still, men are more likely than women to abuse alcohol, smoke and die of accidental deaths.

During their 40s and 50s, men’s bodies produce testosterone at declining rates. They begin to lose muscle mass and become more prone to weight gain. Their risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes increases. On average, men develop heart disease about 10 years earlier than women, and 1 in 4 male deaths is caused by heart disease.

When men reach their 60s and 70s, they may begin to experience hair loss and enlarging prostates. In older age, men often become less active and need fewer calories. However, their bodies can’t absorb nutrients at the same rate so they must pay close attention to what they eat.

°National Native American Heritage Month

During National Native American Heritage Month, we celebrate Indigenous peoples past and present and rededicate ourselves to honoring Tribal sovereignty, promoting Tribal self-determination, and upholding the United States’ solemn trust and treaty responsibilities to Tribal Nations.

°Día de muertos (Day of the dead)

In Mexico, death rites date from pre-Hispanic rituals represented in murals, painted pottery, monuments, and artifacts, which shows how the Day of the Dead has its origins in the rituals practiced by the indigenous peoples of the Americas. Its precedents date to more than 3000 years ago when the Olmecs and subsequent Toltecs, Mixtecs, Zapotecs, Maya, and Aztecs honored death.
Those who passed are alive in our memories. As the only answer to many of our questions, death is an integral part of life, and the living and the dead meet in this day to emphasize the importance of death in the cycle of life.
Día de los Muertos acknowledges the symbiotic relationship between life and death in which the spirits of the dead are believed to return home and spend time with their relatives. To welcome them, the family build altars in their honor.

Halloween, contraction of All Hallows’ Eve, a ho

Halloween, contraction of All Hallows’ Eve, a holiday observed on October 31, the evening before All Saints’ (or All Hallows’) Day.

The celebration marks the day before the Western Christian feast of All Saints and initiates the season of Allhallowtide, which lasts three days and concludes with All Souls’ Day. In much of Europe and most of North America, observance of Halloween is largely nonreligious.

Halloween had its origins in the festival of Samhain among the Celts of ancient Britain and Ireland. On the day corresponding to November 1 on contemporary calendars, the new year was believed to begin. That date was considered the beginning of the winter period, the date on which the herds were returned from pasture and land tenures were renewed. During the Samhain festival the souls of those who had died were believed to return to visit their homes, and those who had died during the year were believed to journey to the otherworld.

As a secular holiday, Halloween has come to be associated with a number of activities. One is the practice of pulling usually harmless pranks. Celebrants wear masks and costumes for parties and for trick-or-treating, thought to have derived from the British practice of allowing the poor to beg for food, called “soul cakes.” Trick-or-treaters go from house to house with the threat that they will pull a trick if they do not receive a treat, usually candy.

Along with skeletons and black cats, the holiday has incorporated scary beings such as ghosts, witches, and vampires into the celebration. Another symbol is the jack-o’-lantern, a hollowed-out pumpkin, originally a turnip, carved into a demonic face and lit with a candle inside.

Western & Eastern medicine: What to know Western

Western & Eastern medicine: What to know

Western medicine prescribes specific drugs for a disease. In contrast, Eastern medicine focuses on treating the person as a whole rather than just their symptoms.

Western medicine forms the basis of most modern healthcare systems in the world. It refers to how medical professionals, such as doctors and nurses, treat diseases using medical treatments, such as drugs, radiation, and surgery.

However, Eastern medicine refers to medicine and treatments that are not part of standard medical care. It is one of the oldest systems of medicine in the world and originates from Asia.

What are the main differences between them?

Western medicine has key foundations that form the basis of treatment. These include:
°physically examining the body and the associated symptoms
°diagnosing diseases and conditions using scientific evidence
°using treatments that are clinically proven to be effective

In contrast, Eastern medicine treatments are also more holistic, with the goal of restoring balance through alternative treatments such as acupuncture. However, the key difference with Eastern medicine is that it aims to treat the whole person. Therefore, some may describe this practice as more personalized to a condition.

Eastern medicine practitioners diagnose diseases by examining the entire body with a focus on imbalances in the person, while Western medicine makes diagnoses according to a person’s symptoms.

Eastern medicine may be beneficial in treating conditions in combination with Western medicine. For example, acupuncture can help treat back pain in tandem with routine medical treatment. Similarly, tuina can be useful in treating irritable bowel syndrome in combination with Western medicine.

Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine Day is observed annu

Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine Day is observed annually on October 24 since its initial commemoration on 2002. It is part of an effort designed to increase public awareness of the progress, promise, and benefits of acupuncture medicine.

An estimated 36% of U.S. adults use some form of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), according to a survey by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
Among the common CAM practices identified by the survey were acupuncture, acupressure, herbal medicine, tai chi and qi gong.

A survey by the NCCAOM found that approximately one in ten adults had received acupuncture at least one time and 60% said they would readily consider acupuncture as a potential treatment option.
Nearly half (48%) of the individuals surveyed who had received acupuncture reported that they were extremely satisfied or very satisfied with their treatment.

In addition, one in five (21%) of the total NCCAOM survey respondents reported that they had utilized some other form of alternative medicine besides acupuncture, such as herbs or bodywork (e.g., shiatsu).

These studies and others like them clearly demonstrate that CAM therapies are common practice in today’s health care system. They also support the need for consumers to be provided accurate and reliable information regarding their treatment options.

The benefits of acupuncture for cancer patients and survivors

Cancer treatments often cause pain and uncomfortable side effects that can last well beyond the final treatment. To manage that pain, many people turn to acupuncture.

Acupuncture works as part of an integrative approach to cancer. Integrative oncology is patient-centered cancer care that uses mind and body practices, natural products, and lifestyle modifications alongside conventional cancer treatments.

Every person responds to cancer treatment differently. If the treatment damages healthy cells, the result can be side effects ranging from mild to severe. Finding ways to manage treatment side effects is important. When symptoms are under control, you’ll enjoy a better quality of life and remain on schedule with your treatments.

Acupuncture offers a natural remedy for side effects that may eliminate the need for narcotics or other medications. According to the National Cancer Institute, studies show acupuncture can relieve a wide range of symptoms associated with cancer treatments, including:

°Dry mouth, caused by radiation therapy
°Fatigue, common in many cancer patients and often a side effect of chemotherapy and radiation therapy
°Hot flashes, associated with hormone therapy
°Nausea and vomiting, caused by chemotherapy, surgery and radiation therapy
°Pain, including postoperative pain and muscle and joint pain from hormone therapy
°Peripheral neuropathy, a common side effect of chemotherapy that causes pain, numbness and muscle weakness in the hands or feet.

Almost 35% of cancer survivors experience chronic pain (pain on most days) years after their treatments end. A recent study shows that acupuncture may offer a solution.

The study involved cancer survivors suffering from chronic musculoskeletal pain. Participants found more pain relief from acupuncture than from their usual care.

Herbal Medicine Herbal medicine (also called herb

Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine (also called herbalism, phytomedicine or phytotherapy) is the study of pharmacognosy and the use of medicinal plants, which are a basis of traditional medicine.

Traditional medicine is “the knowledge, skills and practices based on the theories, beliefs and experiences indigenous to different cultures, used in the maintenance of health and in the prevention, diagnosis, improvement or treatment of physical and mental illness”

Generally, the focus is on the overall condition of the individual, rather than on the particular ailment or disease from which the patient is suffering, and the use of herbs is a core part of all systems of traditional medicine.

Diagnosis and treatment are based on a holistic view of the patient and the patient’s symptoms.

Currently, herbs are applied to the treatment of chronic and acute conditions and various ailments and problems such as cardiovascular disease, prostate problems, depression, inflammation, and to boost the immune system, to name a few.

Cupping Therapy Cupping therapy is an ancient hea

Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is an ancient healing technique that some people use to ease pain. A provider places cups on your back, stomach, arms, legs or other parts of your body. A vacuum or suction force inside the cup pulls your skin upward.

Cupping therapy is a form of traditional medicine that originated in China and West Asia. People have practiced this method for thousands of years.

People mostly use cupping to relieve conditions that cause pain. Some people say it also helps with chronic (ongoing) health issues. Cupping may ease symptoms of:

°Arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis.
°Back pain, neck pain, knee pain and shoulder pain.
°Asthma and other breathing issues.
°Carpal tunnel syndrome.
°Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders like irritable bowel disease (IBD).
°Headaches and migraines.
°High blood pressure (hypertension).

What should I expect after cupping?
The suction force from cupping breaks open tiny blood vessels called capillaries under your skin. You’ll have red, round cupping therapy marks that should fade in a week or two. Although these marks will look like bruises, they’re not true bruises that injure muscle fibers.

Does cupping hurt?
Cupping shouldn’t cause pain, though you may experience some skin tightness during the procedure. After cupping therapy, you may feel bruised and slightly sore, but you shouldn’t have severe discomfort.

Benefits of acupuncture

Acupuncture treatment, with its roots in traditional Chinese medicine, offers a versatile approach to health and well-being. Here are some acupuncture uses and benefits:

°Pain Management. Acupuncture medicine has shown effectiveness in alleviating various types of pain, such as lower back pain, knee pain, and migraines. It’s thought to stimulate the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain relievers.

°Stress Reduction.
Many people turn to acupuncture for its potential to reduce stress and promote relaxation. Acupuncture needles are believed to stimulate points that release tension and improve the body’s stress response.

°Nausea and Vomiting. Research suggests that acupuncture can help mitigate nausea and vomiting, especially in individuals undergoing chemotherapy or dealing with morning sickness during pregnancy.

°Anxiety and Depression. Some studies indicate that acupuncture may have a positive impact on anxiety and depression symptoms, possibly by influencing neurotransmitter levels.

°Insomnia. Acupuncture might aid in improving sleep quality by addressing underlying factors contributing to insomnia.

Under the guidance of a licensed acupuncturist within a controlled clinical setting, acupuncture has a lot of advantages. Often being a rival of conventional medicine, it can improve well-being without the medication and the side effects.

How does acupuncture work?

Acupuncture can help relieve pain and treat a range of other complaints.
TCM explains that health is the result of a harmonious balance of the complementary extremes of yin and yang of the life force known as Qi, pronounced “chi.” Advocates believe that illness is the consequence of an imbalance of these forces.

According to TCM, Qi flows through meridians, or pathways, in the human body. These meridians and energy flows are accessible through 361 acupuncture points in the body. Inserting needles into these points with appropriate combinations will bring the energy flow back into balance

The physical stimulation of needle insertion at these sites may affect pain processing in the central nervous system and muscles and increase blood flow to certain parts of the body.
