Younger looking skin

Every 30 days the sking renews irself from the inside out, producing a layer of dead cells on the surface which, if left unattended, not only leave it looking dull, but create blemishes and blockages, which prevent it working efficiently. daily dry brushing removes this layer of dead cells as it forms, creating the transluence of healthy blood flow under the surface and the appearance of healthier, yonger looking skin. Brush using long sweeping strokes, working from the feet and hands towards the heart. Skin will be sensitive at first, so be gentle. With very delicate skins brush with soft, pure Bristle or Japanes Sisal brushes to begin with, and the skin will soon firm up. The benefits are almost instant as the skin will tingle, feel softer and take on a healthy glow immediately.

Lymphatic Detox

As the largest organ of the body, skin, just like the kidneys and liver, is responsible for removal of waste and toxins. In fact about 30% of body waste is eliminated via the skin, throught sweat glands and lymphatic capilluaries under the surface. Unlike veins, which have the heart to keep things flowing, the lymphatic system does not have a pump, relying instead on muscular activity to more the lymphatic fluid along and drain the waste safety away into the digestive system. As a waste disposal system, it is overworked by unhealthy diets, or hindered by medical conditions such as diabetes and because of its reliance on muscular activity, lack of exercise or a sedentary lifestyle will also have a negative effect on lymphatic drainage.

Protect the immune system

When lymphatic drainage becomes stuggish, the skin appears puffy through retained fluid, blemishes appear, as toxins are expelled through the surface and cellulite can result, as fluid and toxins become trapped on the fatty layers under skin. More importantly, a poorly performing lymphatic system can cause damage to the immune system and more serious conditions could result.

Essential part of detox

Toxins form in the body as by-products of normal cellular activity, not just as a result of an unhealthy lifestyle. Daily dry body brushing stimulates the lymphatic system and ensures that all cellular waste is removed efficiently. A firm fibre brush will suffice, but newer developments in brush technology have incorporated rubber pins into the brush head with the fibres, to apply a firmer pressure to the lymph capilliaries under the surface of the skin whilst brushing. This is particularly useful during any detox programme, to kick star the system into action and make sure is is prepared to cope efficiently with the extra workload of toxin removal.

THE CORRECT SLEEPING POSITION

The quality of the bed is extremely important. A good base permits a correct sleeping position. the spinal column cannot recover if you are tense. The ideal sleeping position is adjusted to the natural shape of the spine. It guarantees maximum relief of the vertebral and the inter vertebral discs and prevents unnatural twisting or pressure forces. there before, bed frames, mattresses and pillows should be carefully selected. Choose those models which perfectly relieve your body, provide anatomically-correct support for your vertebrae and neck.

Nowadays, more and more people pay special attention to the quality of the mattress. However, one shouldn’t forget that the nature and shape of the pillow is equally important. Because, while sleeping, the cervical spinal column, or the neck region between the shoulder and head, needs substantial support to prevent pain and traumata. However, due to the high shoulder, the neck is often insufficiently supported, which can result in complaints. These occur e.g. due to an overexertion of muscles or soft tissue. Further factors for complaints could be an accident or an unhealthy sleeping position. In general, pains coming from the neck are frequent. However, most of them are misdiagnosed as the symptoms are perceived somewhere else – e.g. as headaches pr back pain.

An effective treatment requires substantial support of the lower cervical spine during the entire night. The spinal column and neck must be kept straight in their natural,  anatomically-correct position to relieve muscles and nerves and keep them well-perfused. Frequently, the consequences of a poor sleeping position or insufficient support often become apparent only after a long time. Sometimes even many years later, for which reason the link between the occurring pain and (bad) sleeping habits is often not drawn at first sight.

In order to ensure a naturally healthy, restful sleep and to ease neck problems, one should preferably opt for an orthopedic neck pillow. Due to their unique edge and shape, they feature e substantial support to the neck region and gently lead it into its natural, anatomically-correct position. However, not all orthopedic neck pillows on the market offer equally comprehensive support.

The shape of the pillow should allow the head to rest slightly bent forward when in a lateral position and fill the space between neck and collarbone in order to provide optimum support to the cervical spice. Because deep in the neck is the crux, where neck problems and neck pains evolve.
