Aromatics & Essential Oils : Glentech product categories cover Carrier Oils (Base oils), Aloe Vera products, Mint products, Essential oils, Aromatherepy oil, spice oils and Oleoresin.

A brief History of Essential Oils: The beginning: Ancient Egypt was the true birthplace of essential oils, or ‘aromatherapy’ as they know it today. The Egyptians cultivated plants for their oils and used them extensively in their religion, in cosmetics as well as for medicinal purposes. Aromatic essence and resins were also used in the embalming process.

It is thought that most essential oils were produced in Egypt by a type of solvent extraction method (enfleurage) using animal fat – however, distillation “pots” have also been found dating back about 3,500 BC. Around the same time, China and India were exploring herbs and aromatic plants too, which would become an integral part of the Indian Ayurvedic medical system.

The wisdom of the Egyptians was absorbed by the ancient Greeks: the most well-known physician of that time, Hippocrates (c.460-377 BC) was a firm believer in treating a patient holistically and included massage in many of his therapies.

Romans, in turn adopted the Greek’s knowledge and were great believers in hygiene to promote health – aromatic baths being especially popular.

??A dark time: The Dark Ages, which came about after the fall of the Roman Empire, heralded a time of great religious oppression. The Church, since it considered bathing a sin, encouraged people to use aromatics to cover the stench – (luckily, most of these plants turned out to have anti-bacterial and anti-pesticide properties as well!) But apart from this, the holistic teachings of Hippocrates were all but forgotten.

Rebirth of interest: It was not until the Renaissance period that aromatherapy found favour again, and there was a swing back to the wisdom of folk medicine. A great Physician at the time, Paracelsus (1493-1541) proved his mettle to his contemporaries by having great success “curing leprosy” with plant extracts.

The term “aromatherapy” as it is known today was first coined in 1937 by the French chemist and perfumer Rene Maurice Gattefosse. He was not a believer in the natural health movement but was interested in the properties essential oils exhibited.

In 1910 he burnt his hand badly in his laboratory, and being the first compound available, he treated his hand with pure undiluted lavender oil. This not only immediately eased the pain, but helped heal the hand without any sign of infection or scarring.

He also found that minute amounts of essential oils are absorbed by the body and interact with the body’s chemistry. During the second World War, as a result of Gattefosse’s experiments, doctors went on to successfully treat many injured soldiers with essential oils.

Modern Aromatherapy: Since the late 70’s and early 80’s a boom in the interest in natural medicine, and more recently the rise in environmental concerns has kept essential oils growing in popularity- both for health and healing, and practical uses to replace harmful chemicals in the home.

Essential oils are often used in aromatherapy, a form of alternative medicine that employs plant extracts to support health and well-being. These are some ways Essential oils may be applied.

Budget Pharmacy’s new service in Woodlands, Texas and the surrounding area offers unique value – allowing employees to dedicate more time towards counseling locals. This is especially useful for conducting Brown Bag Reviews of medications and supplements, helping to safeguard the community from potential harm.

To learn more, visit https://www.budgetpharmacytexas.com

Medical professionals must be able to recognize and prevent medication mishaps. One way this is done is through medicine reconciliation, which looks for mismatched information between patient records. Unfortunately, it can lead to false results if the file lacks data like dietary supplement intake and natural treatments.

Vitamins and supplements, despite being available over-the-counter, are relatively powerful substances. While it is possible to control the dosage of an herb, for example, it’s much more difficult to estimate dosages of vitamins and minerals used to make popular vitamin-mineral mixes.

And then there are other risks. Since vitamins and supplements aren’t strictly regulated by the FDA, there is the chance that banned substances — such as steroids — could be found in supplements. What’s more, there is the risk of disregarding chances to reduce reliance on pharmaceuticals, with the possibility of experiencing adverse effects from taking too high a dose of a certain supplement or from combining multiple different supplements at once.

There’s also a lack of proper monitoring from healthcare providers for those who don’t follow their prescribed doses.

The improved Budget Pharmacy ensures that patients have the chance to receive personalized Brown Bag Medicine Reviews from experienced staff. They are guaranteed to receive a detailed assessment of their medication and supplements at regular intervals.

Around one in seven people over 71 in America are living with dementia, and it’s vitally important that they stay on top of their prescribed medications and dietary supplements.

80 million Americans will be over 65 in just 20 years. This means the number of those 85 and older needing assistance could increase four-fold in 2 decades. This is the primary driver behind the introduction of Budget Pharmacy’s new upgraded service.

At Budget Pharmacy, the focus remains on providing a valuable experience for each patient. Their team stresses that it’s not only about selling medicines and supplements; they also want to ensure the patient has a regular check-up and that consultations are taking place. Their goal is to help provide medical assistance without the large bills or complicated processes.

At Budget Pharmacy customers are offered a combination of extraordinary customer care and reasonable prices. Most importantly, consultations stress regular evaluation of medications can drastically improve a patient’s wellbeing – this is the focus. Budget Pharmacy is locally owned and operated by pharmacists and delivers the most convenient and safe way to get medications and supplements.

A Budget Pharmacy customer states, “Whenever I need to fill a prescription, Budget Pharmacy never fails to provide unbeatable savings. Their costs are consistently more affordable than major drugstore chains like Walgreens and CVS!”

For 10 years, Budget Pharmacy has served Texas communities with a dedication to their wellbeing. Led by experienced and compassionate medical professionals, the company’s main headquarters in Spring serves as a beacon of health for its loyal customers.

KD College Prep, a test prep and college counseling company based in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, finalizes instructional changes to prepare students for the migration of College Board’s PSAT/NMSQT(R) and SAT(R) tests to a new digital format next year.

Early in 2022, College Board (the organization that administers the PSAT/NMSQT and the SAT tests) announced that it would offer the tests digitally in the U.S. starting in 2023 and 2024. In addition to format changes, adjustments in test content could pose significant challenges for students.

Scoring on both the PSAT/NMSQT and the SAT(R) tests will remain the same, although College Board will reduce the length of the SAT test by approximately an hour.

The new digital format will also be adaptive, meaning it will vary from student to student. After a student has finished the first module, one of two potential second-stage modules will appear based on the number of questions the student answers correctly initially. Generally, one module has questions that are more difficult than the other.

The new SAT(R) test format will still feature a verbal and a math section. The verbal section (made up of reading and writing questions) will have shorter reading passages with a single question after each. With less questions, students will rely more on test-taking strategies to find the correct answer on time. The test will group together questions that test similar skills and knowledge, arranged from easiest to hardest.

The math section allows students to use a built-in calculator on the entire section, which is a significant change. Students will find the same math concepts–Algebra 1 and 2, geometry, and trigonometry. “Free response” questions will show up throughout the section, instead of only at the end.

“College Board’s recent announcement about making the SAT digital brings back many familiar memories. Over the last 30 years, KD College Prep has seen many adjustments, reconstructions, and makeovers by College Board. With each change we have adapted and found new and improved ways to prepare our students for college,” says David Dillard, CEO of KD College Prep.

Since 1992, KD College Prep has helped students prepare for college admissions tests through in-person or live-online prep courses and activities. The organization has four campuses in the DFW area and currently serves students in 37 states across the U.S.

SAT(R) is a trademark registered and/or owned by the College Board. PSAT/NMSQT(R) is a registered trademark of the College Board and the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. KD College Prep has no affiliation with these institutions and is not approved or endorsed by them.

This guide, titled “Make Writing”, provides teachers with inspirational teaching strategies designed to foster generative writing and constructive feedback in the classroom, even among students who do not consider themselves writers.

To learn more, visit https://www.10publications.com/MAKE-WRITING

The book presents its information across 5 sections, each of which focuses on a unique aspect of the teaching process. The 5 tips do not depart radically from a traditional curriculum, but instead, seek to help teachers repurpose and utilize materials that are at hand to build a more constructive environment for students to learn and create.

This book joins a number of other teaching guides by Times 10 Publications in their ongoing “Hack Learning” series. All of these titles including “Make Writing” present actionable and accessible tips, strategies, and hacks that teachers new and old can make use of to better understand their students’ needs and learning requirements.

For other guides in the series, visit https://www.10publications.com/reading-writing-math-books

“Make Writing” was compiled by Stockman, drawing on a long career in the education industry and after taking into consideration conversations she has had with members of the teaching community. In this way, she has been able to craft this book with the needs of the average teacher in mind, and with unique strategies not commonly used in the current pedagogy.

Previously, Stockman has collaborated with Times 10 to publish a number of other teaching guides, and this is her second guide to focus entirely on the topic of writing.

This book, like the others in the series, focuses primarily on so-called “right now” strategies, or rather, ideas which can be immediately implemented using already accessible tools. In this way, Stockman intends to help teachers get a head start on the process instead of having to transition to an entirely new lesson plan.

One reviewer stated, “A fantastic introduction to how to bring students out of a quiet, in-your-seat drafting process and into a collaborative, dynamic manifestation of their thinking/writing. I’m looking forward to trying out these ideas in my class this fall. Quick, inspirational: just the kick-in-the-planbook you need to start the school year.”

The mental health industry watchdog Citizens Commission on Human Rights International says involuntary commitment and forced treatment policies in the U.S. are unworkable and violate World Health Organization (WHO) direction to end coercive psychiatric practices.[1] Increased use of involuntary commitment is a measure that states are being advised to take as a “solution” for everything from violence prevention to getting displaced persons forced into institutions. It is a failed, costly, and often harmful policy, CCHR says.

Psychiatric hospitalization can especially put children and youths at high risk of being physically or sexually assaulted, drugged against their will, restrained, and killed, given the troubled teen behavioral industry’s history of harm.[2] Involuntary commitment is a fate that can be worse than criminal incarceration–though in the case of a mental health commitment, the person has not committed a crime.

In the wake of acts of senseless violence, psychiatrists have also called for greater rights to involuntarily commit individuals–the antithesis of what the WHO is advocating.

People who are subjected to coercive practices report feelings of dehumanization, disempowerment, and being disrespected, according to WHO. According to a 2019 study, people who felt they were coerced into being hospitalized against their will were more likely to attempt suicide after being released from the hospital. A 2017 article in JAMA Psychiatry found that the risk of suicide was 100 times greater than average immediately after being released from a hospital. Involuntary hospitalization was associated with an increased risk of suicide both during and after hospitalization.[3]

WHO points to a series of United Nations guidelines and Human Rights Council resolutions that have called on countries to tackle the “unlawful or arbitrary institutionalization, overmedication and treatment practices [in the field of mental health] that fail to respect…autonomy, will and preferences.”[4]

“…[D]elivering those services in a forced, institutional setting…actually has a very low success rate. It doesn’t result in people stabilizing over the long term,” said Anya Lawler, a policy advocate at the Western Center on Law and Poverty.[5]

Public insurance programs (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid) are the primary payers for approximately 60% of psychiatric hospital stays.[6] In one high-profile celebrity case of forced treatment, it cost her $60,000 per month.[7]

Psychiatric facilities can profit from detaining people under the pretense that they may become violent or lack the capacity to care for themselves. Already, an estimated 54% of admissions to psychiatric facilities in the U.S. are involuntary. As a December 2022 article headlined “And Now They Are Coming for the Unhoused: The Long Push to Expand Involuntary Treatment in America,” stated, “A lot of people get put away involuntarily. They get medicated immediately. And they can’t even fight back because they get medicated.”[8]

Many studies document the violence- and suicide-inducing effects of both taking and withdrawing from psychotropic drugs, which are often forced on those who are involuntarily committed. CCHR’s report Psychiatric Drugs Create Violence & Suicide includes many of these studies.

Forcing treatment on individuals or detaining them for longer periods in psychiatric institutions if they are deemed “violent” adds to the gravy train. According to the NYC Independent Budget Office, on average, emergency shelters cost $138 a day for single adults, or more than $50,000 a year. Supportive housing costs between $25,000 and $36,000 per person per year. Meanwhile, cost estimates for a forced night in a hospital range from about $1,100 to more than $3,000–equal to an annual expense of $400,000 to $1.1 million per person.[9]

“A Comparative Study of the Right to Refuse Treatment in a Psychiatric Institution” notes “people with mental disabilities are subject to many types of behavioral therapies against their will, including medications and restraints. This is especially true of people who are institutionalized. These intrusions are in violation of fundamental international human rights principles. People with mental disabilities are often stripped of many of their basic rights, including the right to determine what is done to their bodies.”

Courts have supported the right to refuse treatment based on the Fourth Amendment’s right to privacy and/or the substantive due process right to bodily integrity.[10]

In 2006, an Alaska Supreme Court decision against forced treatment acknowledged that psychotropic drugs “‘affect the mind, behavior, intellectual functions, perception, moods, and emotion’ and are known to cause a number of potentially devastating side effects….” It ruled against them being forced on a woman who sued a psychiatric institution over administering the drugs against her will.[11]

WHO acknowledges how the need to change forced mental health treatment policy may be daunting to governments. However, “Although challenging, it is important for countries…to eliminate practices that restrict the right to legal capacity, such as involuntary admission and treatment…,” it states.[12]

CCHR’s Mental Health Declaration of Human Rights includes many of the rights that the WHO report encompasses and governments could implement to replace forced treatment.

The book highlights recent research about the lack of effectiveness of conventional school disciplinary practices. Studies have shown that commonly used punishments, such as detentions, do little to change bad behavior and can strain the relationship between a student and teacher over time.

Available as an eBook, paperback, hardcover, and audiobook, Hacking School Discipline provides readers with alternatives to detentions and suspensions. Based on their own experiences in the classroom, the authors offer step-by-step strategies with real-world anecdotes to promote a culture of understanding between teachers and their students.

Rather than disciplining a misbehaving student, the authors suggest enhancing communication and identifying the root of the problem, through precise questioning and mediation techniques. They note that restorative practices are particularly effective in correcting disruptive or negative behavior, as restorative circles facilitate discussion and reflection.

The book also contains concrete applications of strategies to reduce repeated bad behavior. The authors include ways to create a collaborative environment within the classroom, where teachers can encourage students to cultivate empathy, mindfulness, and self-regulation. By helping students become productive, independent, and responsible learners, teachers can eliminate the need for punishment altogether.

Hacking School Discipline is part of a series of books intended to help educators and school leaders rethink the culture behind disciplinary action and classroom management in schools. The release of this book goes in line with Times 10 Publications’ mission to provide school staff with resources that have practical applications in the classroom.

“I taught for over 20 years and realized that educators are so busy helping kids that they rarely have the time or energy to hone their own craft,” says Mark Barnes, founder and president of Times 10 Publications. “I started Times 10 with a single mission in mind: to help educators solve problems. Times 10 books provide practical solutions that busy educators can read today and use tomorrow.”
