To naturally treat pain, make tea with pain-relieving ingredients. You’ll need hot water plus fresh ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon. All three ingredients have amazing anti-inflammatory properties. This tea provides relief from arthritis, headaches, stomach aches, sore muscles, and menstrual cramps. In many cases, ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon are as effective as OTC pain relievers. The major benefit if the tea is that it has a lower risk of harmful side effects.

Teenage breast cancer is extremely rare, affecting only 1 in 1 million adolescents. Lumps can show up from normal breast growth, so don’t freak out. About 91% are non-cancerous tissue overgrowths called fibroadenomas. Hard, immovable lumps may point to breast cancer, with secretory carcinoma being the most common kind. Even then, the chances are very low. Still worried? Mammograms aren’t recommended for teens, so self-exams are the way to go. Do it once a month.

False pregnancy is a psychological phenomenon where a woman believes she is pregnant and even experiences pregnancy symptoms – but there is no baby growing within her. A range of psychological and socio-cultural influences may be to blame for pseudocyesis. A false pregnancy is treated by proving to the sufferer, through abdominal imaging, that she is not really pregnant and following this up with psychotherapy and counseling. In rare cases, men whose partners are pregnant also experience pregnancy symptoms – termed sympathetic pregnancy or couvade.
