Saunas: An Effective Way to Detoxify

Written by Jena

Do you constantly rage battles with thick smog and toxic chemicals in repparttar

big city? Are you desperate for real clean living? We consume toxins daily—from repparttar 114217

air we breathe, repparttar 114218

food we eat, and even repparttar 114219

water we drink. Then, just when we think that we are safe at home, we come in contact with more, less obvious forms of toxins. Daily household toxins can come in repparttar 114220

form of cigarette smoke, dust, pet dander, mildew, cleaning detergents, as well as chemicals from bathing water. And vanity does pay its price because even repparttar 114221

soaps, lotions, ointments, creams, and deodorants we use everyday contain chemicals that are toxic to our body.

Nowadays, with more toxins in repparttar 114222 environment than ever, “it’s critical to detoxify,” asserts Linda Page, N.D., Ph.D., repparttar 114223 author of Detoxification (Healthy Healing Publications). By removing and eliminating toxins, detoxification helps protect us from diseases and renews our ability to maintain optimum health. There are different ways to help our body detoxify, like eating plenty of fruits, and vegetables, taking Vitamin C and other supplements, drinking plenty of water daily, among others. One yet-to-be-explored means of detoxification however, is repparttar 114224 steam bath of Finnish origin, more popularly known as repparttar 114225 “sauna”. Yes, saunas not only improve blood circulation and provide tension relief after a hectic day, but they are now being recognized as an effective method of detoxification.

Our skin is our body’s first defense against daily toxins which, therefore, makes it a major detoxification pathway. Many people’s skin, however, are very inactive. Many do not sweat. This may be caused by several factors like synthetic or tight clothing, sedentary living, or sun damage. This, then, is what repparttar 114226 sauna zeroes-in on. How? There is a layer of fat and oil just beneath repparttar 114227 surface of our skin. Heat from repparttar 114228 sauna raises repparttar 114229 skin’s temperature, causing these fats and oils to ooze out of repparttar 114230 skin’s oil glands. As sweat and oil are secreted, repparttar 114231 toxins dissolved in them are flushed out as well. By excreting these toxins and washing them off our bodies, our toxic load is lowered and cellular energy production is greater.

Cure Your Arthritis - My Amazing Mom

Written by Susan Graham

My Amazing Mother – “The Arthritis Lady”

From repparttar age of 11 to age 53 my mother avoided holding hands; they were painful to repparttar 114216 touch, so puffed up, sore and hot!!!

Raising four children she, of course, had to hold our hands. She tried so hard not to let us know how painful it was but, we knew she was in constant pain.

I always felt bad for my Mom and Dad because holding hands was something they missed. It was hard for her to knit or crochet, which she loved to do.

Walking, bending or standing for any period of time was so painful for her. We learned as small children, my brothers and I, to do what ever we could to help around repparttar 114217 house.

She went to over thirteen “Arthritis” specialists, which were of little or no help.

She was prescribed many different drugs and went through all kinds of treatments for her arthritis.

She was in so much pain that she tried anything and everything to find relief.

She was so desperate to find something that would stop her pain that she: ·Went to over 13 physicians, (“Arthritis Specialists”) ·She took Codeine, Darvon, Sprays and "Gold Treatments" ·She was placed in traction with a large weight to stretch her body, was tied to repparttar 114218 bed and couldn't move for a week! ·She was put in an upper body cast for 3 months ·She wore shoe lifts ·And so much more!!!

In 1980, repparttar 114219 last year she suffered from Arthritis, my Mom spent an average of $40.00 month on miscellaneous drugs, $30.00 for a monthly doctor appointment and $30.00 on pain killers. That’s a total of $100.00 a month. I wish she could have spent that money on something she liked to do instead.

All repparttar 114220 drugs, all repparttar 114221 doctors, all repparttar 114222 treatments, all repparttar 114223 money... ALL repparttar 114224 FAILURES!!!

Doctor after doctor told her that there was no cure for arthritis and that she should, “Take this medication, go home and learn to live with it”. One doctor predicted that she would be in a wheel chair within 5 years.

We were crushed… My Mom, being repparttar 114225 eternal optimist, never gave up… She went on a crusade to find a way to stop her arthritis. And she did!!!

She spent many years researching arthritis, and put together this incredible program, “I Cured My Arthritis You Can Too”, that shows you in easy to follow steps how you can do what she did at home, and without drugs.

I know this may sound too good to be true. But she did it... My Mom has gone through what you are going through right now. She has now been living Pain Free from Arthritis for 25 years.

My Mom, Margie Garrison, is known on repparttar 114226 World Wide Web (and elsewhere) as “The Arthritis Lady” and is now doing something she “likes” to do. She spends most of her time answering thousands of emails and phone calls from people who suffer with arthritis. She answers questions and helps solve problems.
