Today we are happy to introduce a new service that is offered at our Wellness Centers.
Dry Skin Brushing! Some might think that it is a painful procedure. Guess what, Skin Brushing is not painful at all! On the other hand, it is powerful, very relaxing, soothing and one of the natural detoxifying techniques that will help you keep your skin looking cleaner, younger and healthier.
Dry Brushing is an old and very productive method of skin detox. It was used for centuries by Russians Dutch and Turks at their bath houses, to improve circulation, prevent skin drying and to restore skin balance.
Let’s start with some Dry Skin Brushing facts:
Skin is the largest and one of the well known eliminative organ of the entire body. It is responsible for one -third of the body’s detoxification process every day.  Every day an average person eliminates about a liter of waste acids through sweat glands. Things like body soaps, body creams, deodorants, perfumes, as well as, synthetic clothing may lead to improper skin balance. Therefore, all the above will clog pores, cause toxicity and varieties of other skin problems.
If dead skin is not removed on the daily basis, pores get clogged up and skin becomes inactive, which leads to impurities within the body. Dry Skin Brushing helps remove layers of dead skin, opens pores, restores the elimination process and provides better absorption of nutrients. Dry Skin Brushing also stimulates other detoxification organs such as kidneys, colon, liver, lungs and lymphatic system. It does that by providing smooth and gentle internal massage.
There are many more other Dry Skin Brushing benefits:
- Helps remove cellulite and get rid of stretch marks.
- Tightens both skin and muscles.
- Stimulates circulation and hormone production.
- Promotes lymphatic drainage as well as, digestion.
- Strengthens immune system.
- Prevents skin aging.

Almost all of our clients complain that they feel gassy and bloated and ask whether colon- hydrotherapy (colonics) will help them with their problem.
Gas can be embarrassing and unpleasant, but everyone has it — and no, you are not the only one. Most adults release gas over 15 times a day! The gas that passes through the rectum comes from bacteria in the large intestine, which contains sulfur (this gives an unpleasant smell). In addition, gas can be caused by swallowing air, but also from the normal breakdown of undigested foods. Everyone is unique and what causes gas for one person may not affect another. Yes, colon-hydrotherapy will definitely help. Colonic Therapy will remove all the harmful, dried out, toxic wastes that are stuck around the walls of large intestines. Fecal matter that was not released on time lets bad bacteria to multiply in our colons which lead to production of unhealthy environment in intestines that cause gas and bloating.
Nevertheless, it is also very important to know the food that might cause the problem, drink plenty of water, and chew your food thoroughly. Some of the healthiest foods can cause gas, so it’s important to know how to eat them. Check the list below to avoid your own gas crisis:Â
Carbohydrates: For some people, though not all, starches like wheat, different types of grains, potatoes, and corn can produce gas as they’re digested in the large intestine. If this happens to you, make sure to eat slowly.
Milk: Lactose, the sugar found in milk, can promote gas and bloating in some people. It happens because some people either don’t have Lactase enzyme that digests milk or just don’t have enough of it. Therefore, try to stay away from cheese, milk, yogurt, and ice cream if you suspect this is happening to you
Â
Fiber-rich Foods: Fiber helps keep you full, regulates your bowels, and may lower the risk of heart disease and specific cancers. Soluble fiber, found in oat bran, beans, peas, and most fruits, gets broken down when it reaches the large intestine, producing gas. Does this mean you should avoid it? No, not at all! In fact, you should build up your tolerance. If your diet currently consists of little fiber, incorporate it slowly to prevent stomach distress and bloating. Drink plenty of water, too, to help the process along.
Cruciferous Vegetables: Watch out for common gassy foods like cabbage, brussel sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, and asparagus. When you do eat these foods, it helps to chew them as thoroughly as possible.
Hope this will help you to stay Gas Free!

A lot of our clients ask us what they would need to do prior to get a colon hydrotherapy treatment also known as colonic. This topic will help our clients better prepare themselves and their colons for the colonic procedure.
           First of all when you just start searching for a place that offers colon hydrotherapy treatments, make sure you consider the following:
·        Certification- Any person who performs colon hydrotherapy should held an I-ACT Certification. It is a procedure by which a colon hydrotherapist applies to the Board for approval. When the therapist has successfully passed the I-ACT certification examination and fulfilled all requirements, only then the therapist would be granted with I-ACT Certification.
·        NOTE- All members shall post their I-ACT Certifications in a public area for easy viewing by the public!!!
Therefore, if you come to the facility and do not see a certification hanging on the wall in the waiting area, you should definitely get concerned. There are a lot of places/therapists that claim that they are I-ACT certified, however, it is not true. It can be easily checked by going to www.i-act.org websites and just writing the full name of the therapist.
·        Preparation- What you do before a session and while you are coming for a series of treatments, will greatly enhance the effectiveness of your treatment. This will also help toxins and old hardened fecal matter to release more comfortably. Therefore, in order to gain best results from colon hydrotherapy treatment it may be more comfortable to refrain from eating at least 2 hours before your scheduled appointment. Drinking lots of water and juices is a great idea (no coffee of caffeinated beverages).
·        Diet- After receiving colonic it is important to:
1)Â Â Â Â Â Drink plenty of liquids (purified water, juices, and herb teas).
2)Â Â Â Â Â Eat healthy vegetable soups for the next 24 hours. Pureed or blended soups are also recommended.
3)Â Â Â Â Â Avoid eating raw vegetables for a couple of days. Steamed vegetables and raw fruits are sufficient.
4)Â Â Â Â Â Reduce meat consumption, especially pork and beef for the next 3 days.
5)Â Â Â Â Â Avoid fried and deep fried products.
Cheers

I’ve noticed that a lot of my clients suffer with hemorrhoids. Many people are so embarrassed about their problem even when they come to get colonics they try to keep that to themselves. I don’t want to offend anybody by posting this blog, on the other hand, want to tell a little bit about statistic on hemorrhoids and also share some home remedies that can be far more effective than expensive over the counter medication.
 According to the American College of Surgeons two out of three adults have had, currently have or will have a case of hemorrhoids.  So, you are not alone in this world with this problem and there are many ways to either prevent this condition, or treat it with inexpensive, natural remedies that in most cases are proven to work.
Along with treating your condition with natural, nonchemical remedies, there are ways to speed up the healing process such as:
   •  Keep the bowels as clean as possible.
   •  Drink lots of fruit juices and vegetable juices.
   •  Do not strain or hold your breath while having a bowel movement.
   •   Take walks after meals.
Natural Remedies
Consider using some of the below posted suggestions and, hopefully, in a few days, you will have this problem behind you.
•  Apply liquid lecithin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lecithin) directly on the hemorrhoids, once a day, until they disappear.
 •  Take a warm bath. If your hemorrhoids are really bad you can do that several times a day.
 •  Eat three raw unprocessed almonds every day. Make sure to chew each one about 50 times (even though it sounds a little crazy, people claim it works).
 •  Consider taking advantage of the healing properties of the enzymes in papaya. Deep in a sterilized cotton ball in a pure papaya juice. Place it on the hemorrhoid area and secure it in a place with a bandage.  The juice should help stop the bleeding and bring the irritation under control.
To prevent hemorrhoids in a first place, it is recommended to increase the fiber and fluids intake. The idea is to keep your stools soft so you don’t need to strain when moving your bowels which is the main cause of hemorrhoids.  About fiber properties read my next post that will be coming really soon.
Happy Healing!
