Discover Aromatherapy and Essential Oils

March 11th, 2010 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Uncategorized

Can you smell your way to good health? There are many people who now think or are sure that you can.

The planet is filled with natural fragrances that many of us take for granted. However there are many who believe that the right natural fragrances can help you feel better, work better and, best of all, relax!

It could be the fresh smell that precedes a rainstorm, the smell of freshly ground coffee or the smell of your favourite flower; natural aromas are all around us and influence our disposition. An excellent example is the trick of having bread baking or fresh coffee on the go as you show a prospective buyer around your house.

Much work and research has been done to see if the power of smell can help in the treatment of many common ailments. Is that possible? Put a good quality lavender essential oil onto an aromatherapy diffuser or hot stone vaporiser, close your eyes and feel yourself relax and drift off into another world. Our bodies have worked in close unison with Mother Nature for so many years and maybe she knows something we are only just beginning to understand.

There are more than 150 oils that have distinctive therapeutic, psychological and physiological properties that are reputed to improve health and prevent illness. All aromatherapy oils have their own unique healing and antiseptic properties. Some oils are antiviral, others relieve pain, some are relaxing and yet others can even be used as anti-depressants.

Like all alternative treatments, aromatherapy is not something you experiment with without attaining some knowledge. For example, mentioned above is vaporising lavender essential oil and enjoying the soporific effect. It may be tempting to the lavender essential oil straight from the bottle onto your temples or foreheads. However, good quality lavender oil is very concentrated and that strength on the skin is likely to cause an unpleasant reaction. It is only recently that the advice has been given to mix Lavender and Tea Tree essential oils with a carrier oil before massaging into the skin. Previously it was considered safe to put either of these essential oils directly onto the skin but there have been cases of allergic reactions.

Research by reading articles, books and e-books by experienced practitioners. The time will be well spent as there may be benefits to you, your health and wellbeing.

There is much to be discovered and enjoyed in the safe use of aromatherapy and essential oils.

Carpal Tunnel, a Problem that is Easily Correctable in the Workplace

March 10th, 2010 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Uncategorized

Carpal Tunnel is an injury affecting the fingers, hand, wrist and arm and can move even higher to affect the back as well. The numbers of work related injuries to the hands and arms are growing as education to the average office employee is lacking. The average worker can end up spending a considerable amount of time in their workstation. With proper positioning and use of the correct ergonomic equipment, problems can be avoided for both the employee and employer.

Carpal tunnel in the workstation environment is caused by the improper positioning of the wrist and arm while typing and using the mouse. Your arm should be held a completely relaxed position and at the same level as the mouse and keyboard. You don’t want to angle your wrist upward or downward while typing, but keep it in a relaxed angle making it easy to type.

In order to get the proper height, most desks will require an ergonomic adjustable keyboard tray attached to them in order to help with height adjustment and maintaining that relaxed position. The keyboard tray can include a mouse platform on the side of keyboard placement or the mouse can be separate from the tray. One can feel the effects of good ergonomics once they start to use a keyboard tray within hours as less stress is put on the arms and back.

Most desk heights are incorrect for the chair placement when it comes to leaving the keyboard on your desk. If using the keyboard and mouse on your desk, make sure that your office chair is adjustable to help with height placement. Even the most economical office chair models can include a height adjustment mechanism which is also recommended for proper positioning.

The office chair that you sit in can also be important both to proper ergonomics and to the prevention of injuries like carpal tunnel. Carpal tunnel is said to have roots in the upper lumbar area and neck as well, with many therapists treating carpal tunnel through therapy in the neck and upper back area. Sitting in an office chair with proper lumbar support and tilt mechanisms to keep the body at a slightly reclined and relaxed position is also important.

With proper employee training and equipment, carpal tunnel can be avoided and employees are more productive when comfortable in their environment. With all of the new ergonomic products and equipment on sale, it can be easy to find the right supplies for your workspace and avoid injury completely.

Non-Invasive Options to Lipo

March 5th, 2010 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Uncategorized

Most people skip over the fact that any type of surgery is invasive, including plastic surgery. If invasive surgery concerns you, there are non-invasive options to lipo.

Non-Invasive Options to Lipo

Plastic surgery has become very popular in the last 30 years or so, and more and more you see items in the news and specials on TV regarding the benefits of having done. One of the most popular surgeries performed by plastic surgeons is liposuction, which removes unwanted fat from areas of your body. You might be tempted by what seems to be an easy way to , but there are options available to you.

Two of the most important options are dieting and exercise. No doubt that statement just met with a groan, but it should not. You should try eating right and using targeted exercise to rid yourself of your problem areas. The human body does not have the ability to rid itself of fat selectively, but the overall impact of exercise and on your body can be seen fairly quickly. Diet will also help to create an atmosphere within your body that is conducive to losing weight, and therefore, losing fat. Muscle gain, in particular, will speed up your metabolism, which burns more calories through the day.

Diet pills, which hope to promote your body’s own weight loss abilities can be effective in some cases as well. It’s important to note, however, that drugs with “lipo” in the name will not work on targeted areas the way that the procedure does. Remember, many solutions on the market have not been approved by the FDA.

Other options include spa treatments such as seaweed wraps and “cellulite massages”, which promise to help break up fat cells and remove them from your body. Unfortunately, most of these techniques are not proven to work, and if they do show some ability to make your body look better, it is short-lived. Doctors are also working on a theory that ultrasound waves can break up the fat cells under your skin, and then your body will be able to reabsorb the cells within three weeks. Doctors who are working with the ultrasound option believe that they will be far less damaging to the tissues in the body than invasive procedures. This, obviously, would represent a medical revolution and be very popular with many of us.

Many people pay lip service to the fact that any surgical procedure, including liposuction, is invasive. You should seriously consider the fact that any surgery carries risks. If that scares you, and exercise are probably the way to go.
