At-home Beauty Treatments Offer Lower Costs, Lower Risks
Posted by: | Comments
Many are afraid to undergo surgery because of the risks or the expense that is often associated with these cosmetic procedures. Fortunately, there are now products that can be used in the privacy of your own home for a fraction of the cost, are more convenient and offer great results.
For years, those searching to get rid of fine lines and get that healthy glow went to a physician for microdermabrasion, a treatment where dead skin cells are removed with tiny silicon or aluminum-oxide crystals blown against the skin using a hand-held device and then sucked up with a small vacuum. Costing about $1,200 a visit, the procedure was not easy on the wallet. But there’s a new generation of at-home alternatives that allows you to get similar results within weeks. Creams and serums that contain Retinol (pure vitamin A) exfoliate the skin, giving a more youthful appearance. Those who want to go a step further can now buy their own high-tech beauty treatment system, a microdermabrasion machine, at a cost of $79.95 (www.sharperimage.com).
Some women are unhappy with the size or shape of their bust. They might have always wished they were a cup size larger so that their clothes fit them better, or they may have noticed changes in their shape after childbirth. Regardless of the reason, many of these women are afraid or unwilling to undergo the pain associated with implants. Others are simply not willing to fork over the average $5,000 cost for surgery. Now there is another option available, a system that is clinically proven to grow a woman’s own natural breasts about a cup size without surgery, pills or creams.
These are just a few of the do-it-yourself at home beauty treatments that are easier on your wallet, provide you with more control of your looks and can be done on your own time. To find out more about these treatments, log on to their Web sites or try the procedures yourself for the ultimate proof. – NU
Beauty Treatments (part 2)
Posted by: | Comments
Let us continue to look at some of the available beauty treatments in more detail.
Make up Sessions
A make-up session can simply be a bit of fun or it can be educational too as clients can learn new methods of applying cosmetics and also identify colours which flatter their skin tone. There will be an initial consultation where the beauty therapist will learn from the client whether they wish to learn how to apply make-up or cover scars and blemishes, if they are attending a special occasion such as a wedding or are simply feeling the need for a little pampering. Usually, the session will include cleansing, toning and moisturizing of the skin before cosmetics are applied to the face.
Hair removal
Epilation refers to the removal of the entire hair (above and below the skin) from the face or body and can be temporary or permanent depending on the techniques used by the beauty therapist.

Ayurvedic Beauty Care
Being the mirror, the barometer of an individual’s health, skin is the clue to one’s Ayurvedic constitution. This can be understood by the types of skin that one has. Example: If vata is predominant the skin of a person is dry, rough, cold, thin with fine pores and wrinkled. In case of pitta constitution, the skin is delicate, fair and red toned with freckles, moles or acne and burns easily. If the constitution is of kapha dosha the skin of a person is oily, smooth, moist and thick with a tendency towards large pores.
Ayurvedic Beauty Care presents both ancient and modern Ayurvedic secrets for beauty care. The aim of this book is to elevate our western understanding of beauty to new levels with deeper Ayurvedic insights. These insights hold powerful health promoting and enhancing methods and luxurious beauty techniques such that all levels of beauty (outer, inner, secret) can be realized in our increasingly fast paced and chaotic world.
The rejuvenation therapy in ayurveda teaches ways to become naturally beautiful, which is not just limited to the physical body but extends to subtle qualities and vitality of a person. Hence rejuvenation therapy is regarded as an integral part of ongoing self-care that helps beauty be with you throughout life and a fresh start in the process of making health-supporting lifestyle changes.

Menstruation: a Natural Phenomenon in a Woman’s Life
Posted by: | Comments
Menstruation is considered as a natural phenomenon which usually occurs in the girls during the stage of adolescence which starts by the age of 12 years. Menstruation thus reflects the start of the puberty period in the females. With the very occurrence of menstruation, the adolescent girls experience different changes which occur in them, both physical and psychological. Menstruation is a normal cycle which lasts for a number of 3 to 5 days which occurs after a length of 28 days in the normal span.
Unpleasant symptoms like cramps, migraine, abdominal pain, dejection, breast tenderness etc occurs during menstruation. These symptoms last for only a short span of time after which it is overcome. Menstruation helps in the process of cleaning and purifying the female body from the excess toxins and wastes. Menstruation however can be assumed as a normal process of change in the physiological system in the female body. The cycle of menstruation may vary from woman to woman. Some women may experience normal cycle of menstruation while others may experience some complications in the menstrual normal cycle.
Menstruation thus depicts the normal reproductive capacity in women. This natural phenomenon of menstruation which generally occurs during puberty virtually lasts till a woman reaches the stage of menopause. Menopause is thus the stage of woman’s life when one experiences the stoppage and the cessation of menstruation. This generally occurs as and when women reach the age of 45 in the normal basis. Menopause stops the fertility period in the women’s life.
How to Help: Supporting an Infertile Couple
Posted by: | Comments
Most couples are very surprised when they discover that they may be infertile. This can be an emotional blow to a family. The couple dealing with infertility can really be in for a roller coaster ride of draining emotional experiences. Seeing someone you love go through something so complicated can be hard for family and friends as well. You may feel very sad and helpless when talking with the couple. You may feel like you should offer advice.
Keep in mind that you are not an infertility specialist and you have no way of knowing what infertility treatment may be best for the ones you love. Be careful about finding a lot of information online and offering it up as a solution to all of their problems. Many couples experiencing infertility are very deeply affected by their problem and may react irrationally to suggestions from family and friends. Dealing with infertility is a very personal journey that couples must go through together.
Remember that the couple is probably having trouble dealing with their infertility. Men and women react differently to infertility and some may consider their partner’s reaction to be the wrong one. This can really cause the couple to be in an uphill battle with each other. You offering up solutions is not going to solve all of their problems. You may only be giving them more to deal with. This can severely impact relationships, so you should proceed carefully when offering support and advice.
Lavanya Sutra Ayurvedic Beauty Care
Posted by: | Comments
Lavanya sutra is the session of Ayurveda that deals primarily with beauty care for women. Lavanya or lavanyam means beauty and sutra is a set of directions or techniques.
Lavanya sutra in Ayurveda is the technique of maintaining beauty by ensuring healthy living and addressing specific beauty issues with natural remedies.
The different sections of lavanya sutra are skin care, hair care, eye care, mouth care, nail care, foot care and keeping a trimmed and healthy body.
Physical beauty is not independent of one’s physical health. Only healthy persons can have attractive beauty. Just like the case of health care, Ayurvedic beauty care also depends on freeing body from bodily wastes or toxins (called ama), optimum nutrition to body and the balance of the three doshas of tridoshas.
Reasons Why 100% Effective Vaginal Odour Treatments “don’t” Work
Posted by: | Comments
Why is it that every piece of information found on vaginal odour treatments or vaginal discharge is nearly always the same? Many women admit to feeling more frustrated over this than that of their actual vaginal concern. Reasons given for this happening is, if inappropriate treatments are used and still no cure then naturally you are drawn like a magnet to once again return for what seems repetitive information? Let us say you have a vaginal odour and would like rid because of embarrassment, then what do you do, you look for medication or a solution to clear the smell. You can prevent further episodes of frustration if the right vaginal odour treatments are used in the first place. Take note all frustrated women, could you be using the wrong treatment, if so then the law of average has it that you will no doubt go back and have to read the same old thing over and over again until you get it right. No treatment no matter how affective will give positive results if treating the wrong condition.
Vaginal odour treatments vary purely because of different causes. These causes can be brought about for many reasons of which need to be determined by your doctor so he/she can get to the root of the problem for why the smell is there. Vaginal odour treatments are only 100% affective if your prescription is to treat the right symptoms. The vagina is an odourless organ of the body, but if your vagina is in the process of releasing an unhealthy smell – then there has to be a perfectly simple explanation for this, and for why there maybe a vaginal itch also. Having an itch around your private parts is not only embarrassing but one that can worsen if infection sets in after the delicate skin surrounding the vagina is torn through fingernails used for relief.
The best course of action to avoid vaginal irritation is to keep the genital area dry giving the region room breathe.

Have Another ‘Fertilitini’
Once upon a time, a woman’s ovaries were her own private affair. Aspiring mothers struggling with fertility issues whispered to their doctors about their travails, took drugs to stimulate their follicles and crossed their fingers. Today, aging eggs and donor sperm are the topic of open conversation on blogs, on Oprah and in movies like “Baby Mama” (storyline: a 37-year-old businesswoman hires a surrogate after being told her chance of getting pregnant is just about nil). Even politicians are in the fertility limelight. Sarah Palin’s baby, Trig, was born when she was 44. And the newly appointed New York senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, cast a vote in Congress the day before giving birth to son Henry at age 41 last May.
And yet, despite the outing of the female reproductive system, many young women still don’t fully understand the facts about age as a risk factor for infertility. Their Ob-Gyns don’t always tell them. And 40-plus Hollywood mothers (some of whom are presumably using donor eggs to get pregnant) and cases like Palin and Gillibrand reassure them. So this week, the American Fertility Association (AFA) is launching “Manicures & Martinis” at the Dashing Diva Nail Salon in Manhattan, the first in a series of one-hour conversations about reproductive health. The event, targeted at women in their 20s and 30s who want to have children someday but aren’t ready now, features a leading fertility expert, who’ll talk about the reality of the biological clock and other risk factors for infertility. Yes, there’ll be martinis–an offering criticized by some health advocates as irresponsible– but there will also be an organic alcohol-free “fertilitini.”
Corey Whelan, AFA’s director of development, says this is the kind of program she wishes existed when she was trying to get pregnant in her 20s and 30s while suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome. “I wanted to create a program that was soft, that was light and that was non-threatening,” says Whelan, now 53 and the mother of 13-year-old twins conceived through in-vitro fertilization (IVF). The goal is to inform women so they can explore their options at an earlier age, she says, and the message is “one of hope, not one of doom and gloom.”
