Healthcare providers today face immense challenges balancing patient care and administrative duties. Documentation, compliance, and electronic medical records often consume the majority of a physician’s time, reducing their ability to focus on patient interactions. This is where medical scribe services play a critical role in improving workflow, efficiency, and patient satisfaction.

PERS DEVICES delivers a full range of scribing solutions, including virtual medical scribe services, telescribe, human scribe, and specialized medical scribe for physicians programs. By leveraging these services, clinics can streamline documentation, reduce physician burnout, and focus on delivering quality care.

Understanding Medical Scribe Services

A medical scribe is a trained professional responsible for recording clinical encounters in real time. Their work includes documenting patient history, physical exams, diagnoses, treatment plans, and follow-up instructions. By taking on these administrative responsibilities, scribes allow physicians to dedicate their attention to patients and clinical decisions.

Key Advantages of Medical Scribe Services

• More time for patient care
• Accurate, detailed charting
• Faster completion of patient records
• Improved coding and billing accuracy
• Reduced physician stress and burnout
• Consistent, compliant documentation

Medical scribe services are essential for clinics seeking to improve efficiency without compromising quality of care.

Virtual Medical Scribe Services

Virtual medical scribe services provide real-time documentation support remotely, making them ideal for telehealth, multi-location practices, or clinics seeking flexible and cost-effective solutions.

How Virtual Medical Scribes Work

• Physician begins patient consultation as usual
• Remote scribe documents the encounter via secure audio or video
• Documentation is finalized and reviewed with the physician
• Notes are entered into the EHR promptly

Benefits

• Flexible scheduling for multiple locations
• Reduced overhead costs compared to in-office scribes
• Seamless integration with telehealth visits
• Accurate documentation without requiring office space

PERS DEVICES’ virtual medical scribe team is trained to adapt to your workflow and specialty needs, ensuring efficiency and accuracy.

Telescribe Services

A telescribe is a remote, typically audio-based documentation service that assists physicians with real-time charting. This service is perfect for urgent care, high-volume clinics, and fast-paced environments.

Advantages of Telescribe Services

• Quick setup and easy integration
• Audio-only support for discreet documentation
• Ideal for high-volume or small-space clinics
• Real-time recording of patient visits
• Reduces physician administrative workload

Telescribe services allow healthcare providers to maintain efficiency without sacrificing accuracy or patient interaction.

Human Scribe Support

A human scribe provides on-site documentation support, offering contextual understanding and attention to nuance that automated systems cannot replicate.

Benefits of Human Scribes

• Captures subtle clinical details
• Adapts to physician workflow and specialty needs
• High accuracy for complex documentation
• Supports coding and compliance
• Enhances patient experience by reducing physician distraction

All human scribes at PERS DEVICES undergo thorough training in EHR systems, medical terminology, and specialty workflows to deliver precise and reliable documentation.

Maria winced as she climbed the stairs to her Gishushu apartment.

Another morning, another reminder that her knees weren't what they used to be.

At 42, she'd accepted the dull ache as part of life; something that came with age, stress, and Kigali's hilly roads.

Her neighbor, Grace, noticed. "Still hurting?"

Maria nodded, too tired to complain again.

Grace disappeared into her kitchen and returned with a small glass jar filled with golden-orange powder.

"Try this for two weeks. One teaspoon in warm milk every morning. Add a pinch of black pepper and honey."

"What is it?"

"Turmeric. But not the old stuff from the supermarket. This is from a farm in Musanze. I get it from Hi-Pima."

Grace pressed the jar into Maria's hands. "Just try it."

Maria was skeptical.

She'd tried everything; painkillers, stretching, rest  and more.

Why would a spice make any difference?

Three weeks later, Maria bought her own jar.

Because the pain had reduced, her energy had returned and she was able to climb those stairs without thinking about her knees for the first time in months.

Why Rwandan Turmeric Is Different: The Volcanic Advantage.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) grows in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide, but not all turmeric is created equal.

The difference lies in the soil.

Rwanda sits along the Albertine Rift, surrounded by volcanic mountains that have spent thousands of years enriching the earth with minerals.

When volcanic rock breaks down, it releases:

• Potassium for strong plant growth
• Phosphorus for root development
• Magnesium for chlorophyll production
• Calcium for cell wall strength
• Iron, zinc, and trace minerals that concentrate in the turmeric rhizome

Independent lab tests show that turmeric grown in Rwanda's volcanic highlands contains 15-25% higher curcumin content than turmeric grown in conventional soils.

Curcumin is the compound that gives turmeric its health benefits and Rwandan soil produces more of it naturally.

Fresh vs. Stale: The Shocking Truth About Supermarket Turmeric.

Here's what most people don't know about the turmeric sitting on supermarket shelves:

Most imported turmeric is 12-18 months old by the time you buy it.

It was harvested, shipped for weeks, stored in warehouses, distributed to retailers, and sat under fluorescent lights losing potency.

Oxidation: Curcumin degrades when exposed to light, heat, and air.

Every day that turmeric sits in clear plastic containers under store lights, it loses effectiveness.

Freshness indicators:

• Fresh turmeric: Vibrant yellow-orange, strong earthy aroma, slightly sticky when rubbed between fingers
• Stale turmeric: Dull brown-orange, weak smell, dusty and dry

Hi-Pima's turmeric powder moves from farm to boutique in 3-7 days.

It's ground in small batches, stored in dark conditions, and packaged in light-protective containers.

This is the difference between medicine and dust.

The Science Behind the Health Benefits of Turmeric.

Curcumin: The Compound That Does Everything.

Turmeric contains over 100 chemical compounds, but curcumin is the star.

This bright yellow compound has been studied in over 3,000 scientific publications for its effects on:

• Inflammation
• Oxidative stress
• Brain function
• Heart health
• Digestive disorders
• Skin conditions
• Joint pain
• Mood regulation

But the thing is, curcumin is poorly absorbed by the body.

That's why how you consume turmeric matters as much as the quality you buy.

How Turmeric Helps Fight Some Diseases (Study Backed).

Chronic inflammation is the root cause of almost every modern health condition:

• Arthritis and joint pain
• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• Autoimmune conditions
• Digestive disorders
• Depression and anxiety
• Alzheimer's disease

Unlike pharmaceutical anti-inflammatory drugs that work on a single pathway, curcumin works on multiple inflammatory pathways simultaneously.

1. Brain Health (Alzheimer's).

Curcumin crosses the blood-brain barrier: a rare ability for natural compounds.

Once there, it:

1. Increases BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor): This protein helps grow new brain cells and strengthens existing neural connections. Low BDNF is linked to depression and Alzheimer's disease.
2. Reduces brain inflammation: Inflammation in the brain contributes to cognitive decline. Curcumin's anti-inflammatory effects protect brain tissue.
3. Clears amyloid plaques: The protein tangles associated with Alzheimer's may be reduced by curcumin's ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and bind to amyloid beta.

This is why turmeric is a staple in Indian cuisine and why India has some of the lowest Alzheimer's rates in the world.

2. Digestive Health.

Traditional Rwandan and East African medicine has used turmeric for digestive issues for generations.

Science now confirms why:

1. It stimulates bile production: Bile breaks down fats. More bile means better fat digestion and less bloating.
2. Reduces gut inflammation: Inflammatory bowel conditions like Crohn's and ulcerative colitis show improvement with curcumin supplementation.
3. Supports healthy gut bacteria: Curcumin has prebiotic effects, feeding the beneficial bacteria in your intestines.
4. Protects the gut lining: Curcumin strengthens the intestinal barrier, reducing "leaky gut" syndrome.

That morning turmeric drink is actively supporting your entire digestive system.

3. Joint Health.

If you play football on weekends, or simply deal with age-related joint wear, turmeric offers real relief.

1. Reduces joint inflammation: Studies on osteoarthritis patients show curcumin reduces pain and improves mobility as effectively as some NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).
2. Supports cartilage health: Curcumin may slow cartilage breakdown while supporting repair processes.
3. Speeds recovery: Athletes using turmeric report faster recovery from intense training and reduced muscle soreness.

Maria wasn't imagining the improvement in her knees, the science backs up what she felt.

The Turmeric (Curcumin) Absorption Problem (And How to Solve It).

Curcumin is poorly absorbed by the human body.

You can consume turmeric all day and absorb very little of the beneficial compounds.

Why?

• It's not water-soluble (doesn't dissolve in your digestive juices)
• It's rapidly metabolized and eliminated
• It doesn't easily cross the intestinal wall

This is why some people try turmeric and claim "it doesn't work."

They're consuming it wrong!

1. The Black Pepper Solution: 2000% Better Absorption.
   

Black pepper contains piperine, a compound that inhibits the enzymes that break down curcumin in your gut and liver.

Adding just a pinch of black pepper to turmeric increases curcumin absorption by up to 2000%.

This is the difference between turmeric working or not working at all.

📌 Always combine turmeric with black pepper. Always.

1. The Fat Factor: Why You Need Oil

Curcumin is fat-soluble, meaning it dissolves in fat, not water.

Consuming turmeric with healthy fats dramatically improves absorption.

Best fats to pair with turmeric:

• Coconut oil or coconut milk
• Olive oil
• Avocado or avocado oil
• Nuts and seeds
• Full-fat dairy or plant milk

This is why traditional golden milk recipes use full-fat milk or coconut milk; not water.

1. Heat Activation: Why Cooking Helps

Gentle heating of turmeric makes curcumin more bioavailable by:

• Breaking down the plant's cell walls
• Releasing more curcumin into the surrounding liquid
• Making the compound more soluble

This is why adding turmeric to soups, stews, and warm drinks is so effective.

You're not just adding flavor, you're activating the medicine.

Storage: Keeping Your Turmeric Fresh and Potent.

The Three Enemies of Turmeric:

1. Light: UV rays break down curcumin rapidly. That's why Hi-Pima packages turmeric in opaque containers, not clear plastic.

2. Heat: High temperatures accelerate degradation. Store turmeric in a cool place, never above the stove.

3. Air/Moisture: Oxygen oxidizes curcumin. Moisture causes clumping and mold. Always keep containers sealed tight.

Proper Turmeric Storage Technique.

Best practices:

• Transfer to airtight glass container immediately after purchase
• Store in a cool, dark cupboard or drawer
• Keep away from the stove, oven, or sunny windowsills
• Don't use wet spoons
• Seal container immediately after each use

Shelf life:

• Peak potency: 0-6 months
• Good quality: 6-12 months
• Declining quality: 12-24 months

Turmeric freshness test: Open your jar and smell. Fresh turmeric has a strong, earthy, slightly peppery aroma.

If it smells weak or like nothing, it's lost potency. Time to refill at Hi-Pima.

Dosage: How Much Turmeric Should You Use?

For General Health and Prevention.

Daily recommended: 1-3 teaspoons of turmeric powder (providing approximately 500-2000mg of curcumin).

Practical application:

• 1 tsp in cooking throughout the day
• 1 tsp in evening tea or soup

This provides consistent anti-inflammatory support without overdoing it.

For Specific Conditions

Joint pain/arthritis: 2-3 tsp daily, split between meals
Digestive support: 1-2 tsp daily with meals
Skin conditions: 1-2 tsp internally + topical application
General wellness: 1 tsp daily

📌 Start small (1/4 tsp daily) and increase gradually. Your digestive system needs time to adapt.

Can You Have Too Much?

Turmeric from food sources is very safe, but excessive amounts (5+ teaspoons daily for extended periods) may cause:

• Digestive upset
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Increased risk of kidney stones (in susceptible individuals)

The sweet spot is: 1-3 teaspoons daily is safe, effective, and sustainable long-term.

Special Considerations.

Pregnant/breastfeeding: Culinary amounts are safe. Avoid therapeutic doses without consulting your healthcare provider.

Before surgery: Stop turmeric 2 weeks before surgery (it can thin blood slightly).

On blood thinners: Consult your doctor (turmeric has mild blood-thinning effects).

Gallbladder issues: Turmeric stimulates bile production. Avoid it if you have gallstones.

For most people, adding organic turmeric to daily cooking is completely safe and beneficial.

Why Organic Turmeric Matters: The Hidden Cost of Imported Turmeric.

The Pesticide Problem

Conventional turmeric farming uses pesticides to control pests and fungal diseases.

These chemicals:

• Remain as residues on the final product
• Accumulate in your body over time
• Disrupt hormone function
• May contribute to long-term health issues

You're consuming turmeric for health benefits while simultaneously ingesting toxins that undermine those same benefits.

The Soil Degradation Cycle.

Chemical fertilizers provide quick growth but:

• Deplete soil of minerals over time
• Kill beneficial soil organisms
• Reduce the plant's ability to absorb trace minerals
• Result in turmeric with lower curcumin content

Hi-Pima's organic turmeric comes from soil that's getting richer each year.

That means higher mineral content and more potent curcumin.

FAQs: Your Turmeric Questions Answered.

Q: How is this different from turmeric at the supermarket?

(1) Freshness: Hi-Pima's turmeric is 3-7 days from farm vs. 12-18 months for imports.

(2) No pesticide residues.

(3) Volcanic soil: higher curcumin content from mineral-rich growing conditions.

Q: Will turmeric stain my teeth yellow?

A: Temporary surface staining can occur, similar to coffee or tea. But it washes away with normal brushing.

To prevent  this however,, drink through a straw or rinse your mouth with water afterward.

Q: Can I give turmeric to my children?

A: Yes, in culinary amounts.

Adding turmeric to food is safe for children, supports their immune systems and provides anti-inflammatory benefits.

Start with small amounts (1/4 tsp) in foods they already enjoy.

Q: I tried turmeric before and felt nothing. Why?

A: Most likely an absorption issue.

Were you consuming it with black pepper and fat? Were you using fresh, high-quality turmeric?

Try Hi-Pima's organic turmeric for two weeks. The difference will be obvious.

Q: Does cooking destroy turmeric's benefits?

A: Gentle heating actually improves bioavailability.

Avoid high heat for extended periods (frying for 30+ minutes), but normal cooking is fine.

Adding turmeric to soups, stews, and rice preserves and enhances its benefits.

Q: How do I know if my turmeric is still fresh?

A: Smell test. Fresh turmeric has a strong, earthy, slightly peppery aroma.

Weak smell = degraded curcumin.

Also check color: vibrant yellow-orange is fresh, dull brown means it's old.

Q: Can I take turmeric if I'm on medication?

A: Turmeric can interact with blood thinners, diabetes medications, and medications that reduce stomach acid.

Culinary amounts are generally safe, but consult your healthcare provider if you're on medication and plan to use therapeutic doses.

Q: What's better; fresh turmeric root or powder?

A: Both have benefits. Fresh root is less processed but harder to find and store

Quality organic powder (like Hi-Pima's) is more convenient. It has a longer shelf life, and when it’s fresh, it maintains full potency.

For daily use, powder wins.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy has emerged as a groundbreaking treatment for individuals dealing with trauma, anxiety, and other emotional distress. If you're in Cobham or the surrounding areas and seeking a way to address the lingering effects of past experiences, EMDR therapy might be the solution you’ve been searching for.

What Is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR is a psychotherapy technique designed to help people process and resolve distressing memories and emotions. Unlike traditional talk therapies, EMDR focuses on enabling the brain to reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional intensity. This is achieved through guided bilateral stimulation, such as side-to-side eye movements or tapping, which helps the brain "reorganize" how it stores and reacts to traumatic experiences.

Originally developed to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), EMDR is effective for a variety of conditions, including:

• Anxiety and panic disorders
• Depression
• Phobias
• Grief and loss
• Chronic pain
• Performance anxiety

Why Choose EMDR Therapy in Cobham?

Cobham is a serene and supportive environment, making it an ideal location to embark on your healing journey. Therapists in the area often combine EMDR with a compassionate and holistic approach, ensuring a tailored experience for each client.

Here’s what you can expect when seeking EMDR therapy in Cobham:

1. Experienced Practitioners

Many therapists in Cobham are trained and accredited in EMDR by professional bodies like the EMDR Association UK. These practitioners bring a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of how to guide clients through the healing process.

2. Personalized Care

Cobham’s EMDR therapists often work in private, tranquil settings, offering a safe and confidential space for you to explore your emotions and memories. Sessions are tailored to your unique needs, ensuring that you progress at a pace that feels comfortable and empowering.

3. A Holistic Approach

In Cobham, EMDR therapy is often integrated with other therapeutic techniques, such as mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), or somatic practices. This holistic approach addresses both the mind and body, fostering long-lasting healing.

4. Accessible and Supportive Community

Located in Surrey, Cobham offers easy access for those in surrounding areas, with excellent transport links. Beyond therapy, the community is rich with wellness resources, from yoga studios to nature trails, that can complement your healing journey.

What Does EMDR Therapy Look Like?

EMDR therapy typically unfolds in eight phases:

1. History-taking and Treatment Planning: The therapist gathers information about your history and current challenges to develop a treatment plan.
2. Preparation: You’ll learn grounding techniques to help manage distress during sessions.
3. Assessment: The therapist identifies target memories and negative beliefs associated with them.
4. Desensitization: Using bilateral stimulation, the therapist guides you in processing the traumatic memory.

Suffering from chronic pain can have a crippling effect on one's physical and mental health. Even while medicine is frequently the first line of treatment, many people look for non-pharmaceutical ways to reduce suffering. Natural painkillers have fewer negative effects and can be quite effective. This article examines several holistic pain management techniques, such as lifestyle modifications and complementary therapy.

Comprehending Pain and Its Origins

A complex sensation, pain can be caused by a variety of things, such as trauma, inflammation, damage to the nerves, and psychological stress. The effects of chronic pain, which can last for months or even years, can be severe and result in social isolation, emotional discomfort, and limitations on everyday activities. Identifying the underlying causes of pain is crucial for creating natural remedies that work.

1. Nutrition and Diet

Foods that Reduce Inflammation

In order to control pain and inflammation, diet is essential. A diet low in processed foods and added sweets promotes whole foods high in antioxidants and minerals. Some foods that can aid with pain relief are:

Produce and Fruits:

Vitamins and antioxidants abound in kale, spinach, cherries, and berries.

Good Fats:

Omega-3 fatty acids, which are present in walnuts, flaxseeds, and fatty fish (such as salmon), can help lower inflammation.

Spices:

Strong anti-inflammatory qualities can be found in ginger and turmeric. They can also be consumed as tea or added to meals for additional benefits.

Drinking Water

Maintaining proper hydration is essential for general health and may affect how painful something feels. Dehydration can make discomfort worse and cause cramps in the muscles. Drink as much water as possible throughout the day, and include foods high in water content, such as oranges, watermelon, and cucumbers, in your diet.

Conscientious Consumption

Those who engage in mindful eating can increase their awareness of the foods they choose and the effects those foods have on their body. Being aware of your hunger signals and eating mindfully can help you control your weight and improve your digestion, both of which are critical for reducing pain, especially in illnesses like arthritis.

2. Exercise

Frequent Workout

One of the best natural pain management techniques is exercise. The body's natural painkillers, endorphins, are released when you exercise and can lift your spirits and reduce discomfort. Try to get in at least 150 minutes a week of moderate-to-intense activity. For people with chronic pain, low-impact exercises like cycling, swimming, or walking are frequently advised.

Flexibility and Extending

Stretching exercises help release tension from your muscles and increase flexibility. Stretching gently can improve mobility and reduce stiffness, especially for people who have lower back discomfort or fibromyalgia. For those who want to combine strength training, stretching, and mindfulness, yoga and pilates are great choices.

Exercises for the Mind and Body

Yoga, tai chi, and qigong are examples of mind-body practices that can significantly relieve pain while encouraging relaxation and lowering stress. By fostering a stronger bond between the mind and body, these techniques assist people in gaining control over their discomfort.

3. Adjunctive Medicine

The use of acupuncture

The ancient art of acupuncture has its roots in traditional Chinese medicine. It entails the insertion of tiny needles into predetermined bodily locations in order to encourage the body's natural pain-relieving processes and promote healing. Studies indicate that acupuncture may be useful in treating a variety of pain conditions, such as arthritis, migraines, and back pain.

Massage Therapy

By enhancing relaxation, lowering muscle tension, and increasing circulation, massage treatment can reduce pain. A variety of methods, including deep tissue, Swedish, and trigger point therapy, can be customized to fit the needs of each patient. Chronic pain issues can be effectively relieved with regular massage therapy sessions.

Chiropractic Treatment

The main goal of chiropractic adjustments is to realign the spine and surrounding joints. These modifications can improve mobility, reduce pain, and improve general function. Regular chiropractic care relieves joint problems, headaches, and back discomfort for many people.

4. Awareness and Stress Mitigation

Meditating

By encouraging relaxation and lowering stress, meditation can have a substantial impact on how painful something feels. In particular, mindfulness meditation enables people to notice their thoughts and sensations without passing judgment. Research suggests that consistent meditation practice can lessen the severity of persistent pain and enhance mental health.

Exercises for Deep Breathing

The body's relaxation response can be triggered by deep breathing exercises, which can lessen stress and the feeling of pain. When experiencing discomfort, techniques like diaphragmatic breathing or the 4-7-8 method—inhale for four counts, hold for seven, and exhale for eight—can be used anywhere and offer instant relief.

The progressive relaxation of muscles (PMR)

Tensing and relaxing various bodily muscle groups is part of PMR. This method promotes relaxation and raises people's awareness of their physical stress. People can improve their ability to manage pain and lower their overall stress levels by consistently practicing PMR.

5. Supplements and Herbal Remedies

Curcumin and Turmeric

The chemical curcumin, which has anti-inflammatory qualities, is present in turmeric. There are supplements available, but eating more turmeric in your diet can also be helpful. Turmeric can be added to food or used as a drink to naturally reduce pain.

Ginger

Another potent anti-inflammatory herb that can help with pain is ginger; this is especially useful for osteoarthritis and menstruation discomfort. You can eat ginger raw, steep it in tea, or take supplements.

Chili powder

Chili peppers contain a compound called capsaicin, which is useful in topical pain treatments. It gradually lessens pain by desensitizing nerve receptors. Neuropathy and arthritis sufferers may get relief by applying capsaicin lotion to the afflicted areas.

Fatty Acids Omega-3

Fish oil supplements contain omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory qualities that can help reduce discomfort, particularly in rheumatoid arthritis. A healthcare professional should be consulted before beginning any supplement regimen.

6. Modifications to Lifestyle

Sufficient Sleep Restorative and pain relief depend on getting enough good sleep. Inadequate sleep can intensify pain and start a vicious cycle of weariness and suffering. Improved sleep quality and pain management can be achieved by establishing a regular sleep schedule, making a pleasant sleeping environment, and practicing relaxation techniques before bed.

Stress Reduction

Stress management is essential to a pain treatment approach since long-term stress can intensify the sense of pain. Take part in joyful and soothing activities, such as relaxing in nature, pursuing a hobby, or spending time with close friends and family. The ability to relax well can have a big impact on pain thresholds.

Limiting Alcohol and Staying Away from Tobacco

Tobacco and overindulgence in drinking can exacerbate pain and inflammation. Reducing alcohol intake and giving up smoking can help you feel better and experience less pain. Making these lifestyle adjustments might be aided by the help of support groups and medical specialists.

Summary

It is possible to achieve pain relief without the use of medicine by combining natural remedies with lifestyle changes. People can empower themselves to manage their pain holistically by emphasizing mindful practices, physical activity, complementary therapies, good diet, and lifestyle choices. Although every person's experience with pain is different, using these techniques can result in an increased sense of control over one's health, an improved quality of life, and an improved emotional state of well-being. People can overcome the limitations of chronic pain and lead more fulfilling lives by adopting a holistic approach to pain management.
