Paraffin - Removing body hair


Here you cam find tips and techniques on how to give an at home removal and wax treatment for body hair removal...

Paraffin wax treatment is a luxurious spa service intended to moisturize and soften the skin.

This is often applied to the hands and feet as components of manicures and pedicures respectively.

Just as I thought that the wax used is same wax ingredient for candles or hair removal, paraffin wax is a variant that is more viscous and bonds to the skin.

Paraffin wax is softer compared to the above mentioned.

This wax contains paraffin oil. And since it is soft, it melts at a lower temperature.

Thus, the skin can be submerged without the fear of burning or blistering.

Preventing Malaria

If you are suffering from recurring fever, Headaches and nausea, along with bouts of shivering, muscle pain and weakness, then you are most likely to be suffering from malaria.

Malaria is the most deadly disease of the developing world and is caused by the protozoan Plasmodium. Female Anopheles mosquito spread this disease by transferring the pathogen from an infected person to a healthy one.

How to prevent it ???
  • Use mosquito repellents and nets.
  • Do not allow water to stagnate anywhere.
  • If you witness the above mentioned symptoms, take doctor’s prescription immediately. Malaria can be fatal if not treated in time.
  • Special care is taken if the patient is a child or a pregnant woman. Anti-malarial drugs might not agree with patients already suffering from renal failure, epilepsy, cardiac disease, hepatic insufficiency or dermatitis.

Dealing with Fibromyalgia


Fibromyalgia is a health problem characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and multiple tender points that occurs in precise, localized areas, particularly in the neck, spine, shoulders, and hips; also may cause sleep disturbances, morning stiffness, irritated bowel, anxiety, and other symptoms.

Fibromyalgia can involve other over lapping conditions: fatigue, yeast, gut health issues, body weight abnormalities.

The fundamental cause of fibromyalgia is an out of balance immune system, lack of energy and oxygen to the cells and a build of toxins in the body (and the subsequent pH imbalance).
In mainstream medicine the only form of treatment are immune suppressive medications and often prozac type drugs for the depression and anxiety issues that are often a part of the symptomatic picture.

What causes the pain and other symptoms in fibromyalgia is unknown from a mainstream medical point of view.

The Truth About Back Pain

There are many different reasons that people have back pain but the most usual reason is poor posture.
If a person constantly sits or stands incorrectly, a sore back is often the outcome.
We were often told by our parents to "sit or stand up straight" as children and they were correct. For a person that has had poor posture their entire lives, eventually their joints damage and start wearing out.
Unfortunately, the back pain caused by this is as severe as a person that had an accident.
There are other causes of back pain and understanding them helps us to avoid or deal with back pain.

If your back pain is persistent then it is time to see a doctor.
The doctor will be able to run tests to find out why you are in pain and the different treatments available to bring you relief from this pain. Usually for less severe back problems, within two weeks of starting treatment, there will be relief from the pain.

Pain Killers - Beware


Dr. Bellonzi's approach is different than a conventional medical approach.
It's called functional medicine. Instead of just addressing the symptoms of the pain, you attempt to locate an underlying cause for the pain and address that and he has had success at eliminating chronic pain from some people.
Since 1998, Dr. Bellonzi has practiced in the Austin area. He works with athletes at every level to provide sports conditioning and rehabilitation.

What is Herniated Disc ?

As a disc degenerates, it can herniate .

That means the inner core leaks out , which is known as a disc herniation or a herniated disc.

The weak spot in the outer core of the disc is directly under the spinal nerve root, so a herniation in this area puts direct pressure on the nerve, which in turn can cause a pain that radiates all the way down the patient’s leg to the foot.

Upper Back Pain Treatment - Ice and Heat Therapy


Early treatment is important to speed healing and recovery.

Ice therapy for the first few days followed by moist heat can help relieve symptoms.

Store-bought ice products, ice cubes, or simply a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a towel can be applied 20 minutes every 4-6 hours.

Moist heat therapy can begin after 2-3 days of icing.

To prevent burns, wrap the heat source in a towel, and remove heat before sleeping.

Punctured store-bought packs should be discarded because the chemical gel can burn skin.
