Learn the Real Dangers of Poor Sleep - 0 views

  •  
    Ah, a good nights sleep. We all want to get in the recommended 7-8 hours, yet according to the National Sleep Foundation, almost one-third of Americans sleep 6.5 hours or less each night. So, not only are we walking around in a bad mood, eyes half open, giant cup of Joe in hand, but now research shows that we are actually putting our heart at risk! Research by Dr. Alexandros Vgontzas, professor of psychiatry at The Pennsylvania State University in Hershey reveals that even modest sleep deprivation may be associated with low-grade inflammation, which can lead to a number of cardiovascular problems. Vgontzas and his team of researchers deprived 25 men and women just two hours of sleep per night over a six-week period. They measured blood levels for immune-system molecules called cytokines, which are normally secreted during inflammation and infection. Both men and women in the study had increased concentrations of cytokines, which confirms lack of sleep may stimulate an increase in chronic inflammation. This is troublesome, particularly because continuous inflammation has been shown to lead to hardening of the arteries, high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease and even heart failure. Also, lack of quality sleep has a significant effect on your blood sugar levels. If you are sleep deprived, it requires more insulin to balance your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, can lead to heart disease and a host of other health related problems. So, you know you need more shut-eye but getting to bed early and sleeping in later just aren't an option with your busy schedule. Maybe the quantity of hours shouldn't be your main focus, let's try focusing on getting 'quality' sleep. The first option that comes to mind for most people who want to sleep more soundly is to seek out over-the-counter or prescription sleep aids. However, there are several downsides to consider: Risk of tolerance - meaning your body can require more and more of the medication in order to achieve result

Winter skin care in the March 2000 issue. - 0 views

    Winter skincare tips We have been conditioned for so many years to look after our skin in summer, and to cover up to prevent aging sunrays from damaging our skin. Very few of us have however been warned about the dangers faced regarding skincare in winter. Winter is the time when we can lose a large amount of moisture through our skin and this, coupled with the cold environment, can be detrimental. Although frostbite is a severe form of cold exposure, daily exposure without adequate protection and moisture during the cold winter months can also cause our skin to age more and lose its healthy glow and vitality. When you have been out in the cold, skiing, ice-skating, or simply walking around, and your skin starts to go patchy white in places surrounded by a bright red area, be aware that you are nearing the pre-frostbite stage. Even inside your house and office your skin might be having a rough time - climate controlled environments might be comfortable, but may be lacking in moisture and humidity. If you are in a dry, moisture-robbing environment, make sure to feed your skin with high moisture content products.

Self Healing - 0 views

    Everyone knows the causes of his/her illness and stress because we are borne with that gift. Some have natural talent for it, but majority of us have to relearn, to remember how to treat ourselves naturally. If we are tired of all treatments, and are full of enthusiasm for a healthy life, then SWABHAVIK BUDDI or OZA (the inner healing force) reveals it and our inner sprit changes its direction to a healthy life style. Everyone, without exception, needs to see the connecting threads that exist between their disease and their way of living- that thread is called SWABHAVIK BUDDI or OZA (inner healing force) in Ayurveda. This OZA or the thinking immune system that the body is blessed with knows how to discriminate between a friendly bacteria and unfriendly bacteria, between pathological chemicals and harmless chemicals. When the body encounters a bacterium for the first time, despite never having encountered it before, it is reminded of the first human encounter with bacterium in the evolutionary history of the species and makes the precise antibody for that bacterium. We name it SWABHAVIK BUDDI or OZA (inner healing force). The body naturally makes the right dose of antibodies at the right time, for the right organ, with no side effects. This capacity demonstrates the profound intelligence of the body. One might in fact say that our whole body is a field of intelligence. The body needs to be cared for. In this day and age the body requires greater attention. It is to be remembered that who we are and what our body is are not really two separate things, but the manifestation of one. Our soul is our visible body and our body is our visible soul. Ayurveda teaches this unity, and with this unity, the human becomes whole. If our body is neglected, we will not be able to find inner harmony. It is a great gift. It is a miracle; a mystery. According to scientists the body has millions and millions of living cel

An Introduction to Ayurveda - 0 views

  •  
    We live in an age of turmoil, tension and transition. The old is collapsing and the new is struggling to be born, we find ourselves adrift on a turbulent ocean with no established landmarks between the vanished past and an indeterminate future. Ayurveda can be a good source of healing and inspiration. The image of Ayurveda has been distorted by glossy pictures of seaside resorts, oil being poured over a forehead, beautiful hands massaging a back, healthy looking vegetarian dishes and colourful Indian herbal spices. All of the above are to be found as posters and brochures as Ayurvedic supplements in health shops and on the internet. Is that Ayurveda though? Is that all that this oldest living healing science means? These images present a very limited view of Ayurveda as a short detox holiday. Very few people realize just how incomplete this picture is. Ayurveda is a highly specialized and scientific form of ancient medicine. It is about various aspects such as healing, energy, kindness, compassion, cooking, music, beauty and colours. In India a VAIDYA (Ayurvedic doctor) must complete a six-year university degree. All Ayurvedic graduates are trained in both Ayurvedic and medical hospitals. A 3-year post-graduate MD degree is offered to the most successful graduates. Is Ayurveda a religious philosophy? No, definitely not! Ayurveda is a product of experiences of Vedic civilisations that occurred thousands of years ago. Ayurveda was created for human well being and Vedic philosophy and is not based on any specific text or on the teachings of any particular person or any specific point in time. There is a pluralism which is built into the very structure of Vedic thought, because it is based on the collective wisdom of seers and sages referred to as 'Rishis'. The great utterances of the Rishis have come down to us over many thousands of years and remain a source of great inspiration. An Ayurvedic doctor

What is Aromatherapy? - 0 views

  •  
    What is Aromatherapy? Aromatherapy is the practice of using volatile plant oils, including essential oils , for psychological and physical well-being. Essential oils, the pure essence of a plant, have been found to provide both psychological and physical benefits when used correctly and safely. The Essential Oil Profiles area details over 90 essential oils. Absolutes , CO2s and Hydrosols are also commonly utilized in aromatherapy. Although essential oils, CO2 extracts and absolutes are distilled in different manners, the term essential oil is sometimes used in writing as a blanket term to include CO2s and absolutes. In addition to essential oils, aromatherapy encourages the use of other complementary natural ingredients including cold pressed vegetable oils, jojoba (a liquid wax), hydrosols, herbs, milk powders, sea salts, sugars (an exfoliant), clays and muds. Products that include synthetic ingredients are frowned upon in holistic aromatherapy. It is important to note that perfume oils also known as fragrance oils (and usually listed as "fragrance" on an ingredient label) are not the same as essential oils. Fragrance oils and perfume oils contain synthetic chemicals and do not provide the therapeutic benefits of essential oils.
