If you're like me you're right in the middle of figuring out gifts for the long list of people you love (or don't totally love, but still are obligated to buy for). I hate buying people gifts that I know are going to promote them being sedentary. It is hard when it comes to games but there are some games that really get you moving.

Walking the aisles of Target recently, a new line of toys for preschoolers caught my eye. The toys seemed to reinforce some of the everyday sights and sounds that a preschooler experiences. After a little research, I learned that the Cranium Bloom line of games and toys, which are exclusively sold at Target, were developed to help a child “create, discover, perform and connect” and that is exactly what each of the 14 items do.

When basic massage or chiropractic adjustment doesn't ease your pain, it might be time to try craniosacral therapy. Similar to massage, a therapist applies gentle pressure to your spine, shoulders, head, chest, and abdomen to manipulate and adjust the craniosacral system — cranium (or head), the spine and the pelvis. This type of therapy is said to ease restrictions in nerve passages, encourage movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spinal cord, and restore alignment of bones in the spine.

Verapamil May Cause Heart Problems
Verapamil (Calan) is a blood pressure medication that is used "off-label" as a first-line preventive treatment for cluster headaches. However, when used for cluster headache, this drug may sometimes cause dangerous disturbances in heart rhythms (arrhythmia), according to a 2007 study in Neurology. The researchers recommend that patients who take verapamil should receive regular electrocardiograms to monitor for any signs of potential heart problems.

HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M
Normal anatomy
There are four major bones of the face: the maxilla, the zygoma, the mandible, and the frontal bone of the cranium.
Indications
Patients requiring craniofacial reconstruction have:
- birth defects (such as hypertelorism, Crouzon's disease, Apert's syndrome)
- injuries to the head, face, or jaws (maxillofacial)
- tumors
- deformities caused by treatments of tumors
Procedure
While the patient is deep asleep and pain-free (under general anesthesia) some of the facial bones are cut and repositioned into a more normal facial structure. The procedure may take from four to 14 hours to complete.
