Phobias and Fear of Flying: Understanding and Overcoming Them Ten kilometers in the air, a person with a fear of flying does not go through “some discomfort”. They go through an experience equivalent to a panic attack: the heart pounding so loudly it seems audible in the cabin, cold sweaty hands, the irrational urge to open the door, the thought that the plane will crash in the next second. And all this, paradoxically, inside one of the safest means of transport in human history. Phobias do not care about statistics; they care only about what the primitive brain feels in front of a signal perceived as dangerous. ...
Swimmer’s Ear (Otitis Externa): Natural Remedies and Relief Swimmer’s ear shows up when you least expect it. You took a long shower, spent the afternoon in a pool, or dozed off on the beach with damp hair, and the next morning your ear starts to itch in a strange, maddening way.

Cataract: Natural Support Remedies and Prevention IMPORTANT: Cataract is a progressive eye condition of the lens that cannot be cured by natural remedies.

Untreated cataract leads to total blindness. ...
