Milk bath.

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

milk bath

Milk and skin have always gone hand in hand throughout history. As shown, the famous baths of Cleopatra donkey milk as the story that helped her keep her skin young and smooth, though I remain convinced that by then already had a cosmetic bag filled with products from Chanel and Estée Lauder the time. Coquette that she was.

Currently, the active ingredients of milk we can find in soaps, gels and creams as it helps soften and moisturize the skin and stimulates collagen production.

But not only help our skin by using products that have milk as one of its active ingredients.

Eating it too are helping our skin as it contains:

* Vitamin A helps keep our skin supple and nourished,

* Essential amino acids for good health of both nails and hair.

* Lactic acid: a basic element for hydrating the skin because it helps retain moisture and soften skin. As we saw in the post about the AHA, can be used particularly as an exfoliant, but we must be careful not to use during the summer, as the lactic acid lowers the skin’s defenses against UV rays.

Immunization or Vaccines for Adults

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

Immunization

The injections may sting a little … But the diseases they can prevent can hurt more! Immunizations or vaccinations are essential. Protect against diseases like measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, polio, diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (whooping cough). Vaccines are important both for adults as for children.

The immune system helps your body fight germs by producing chemicals to combat them. Once you do, the immune system “remembers” the germ and can fight him again. Vaccines contain dead or weakened germs. When given a healthy person, the vaccine triggers an immune response to respond, creating immunity.

Before vaccines exist, people could only be truly immune when contracted the disease and survived it. Immunizations are an easier and less risky to be immune.

While working on his perfume laboratory deep concentration, his arm caught fire. He quickly tried to find the closest substance to allow him to extinguish the fire. He saw a tank with lavender oil and dipped in the arm.

To his surprise, not only extinguished the fire but his arm healed without scarring or infections. In later used the word “aromatherapy” to describe the healing I had experienced.

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils extracted from plants, herbs and other natural resources to produce products that enhance the welfare and improving health. Aromatherapy uses a few methods: inhalation or skin application.

Inhaled understand the direct inhalation of fumes or vapors through oil diffusers ionized in the environment. With regard to the application on the skin can be through baths, compresses, or massaging specific points on the body with oils that are absorbed and produce a general state of wellbeing and harmony.
