Lymphatic drainage massage

Did you jump up – when you read this title?

Most likely you said to yourself: “This is the key to success to beat my cellulite.”
And, you were right. But only partially. You asking why?

Often comes to erroneous or rather lack of knowledge erroneous or rather lack of knowledge.

The purpose of its use beyond are not only for beauty reasons, but also medical, but for which only few people know.

Therefore, hand lymph drainage is a type of body treatment, which women have often treat themselves with, often those who are aware of its effects.

But we do need to be aware, that even though superficial knowledge among women is present, the wider knowledge about lymphatic drainage is less known.

Hand lymphatic drainage and its benefits

Hand lymphatic drainage is a gentle technique, which effects on lymphatic system.

Lymphatic drainage was developed by doctor Voder and his wife in year 1930.

Lymphatic drainage works by activating blood circulation in tissues and stimulates the immune and parasympathetic nervous system.

The results of this operation are shown in particular reduction of oedema, body detox, restoring tissues (burns, cuts, scars, wrinkles),
it removes a number of chronically and half- acute inflammation (sinusitis, bronchitis and ear infections), eliminates chronically pain, reduce symptoms of chronic fatigue, eliminates excessive muscle tension, and more.

We could gain a good benefits in overcoming insomnia, stress, lack of vitality and a bad memory, but it also slows down aging and helps to remove cellulite tissue.

A well functioning lymphatic system is essential for human health and its effectiveness.

This system is discharging liquid, detoxifies and renews tissue, strain out toxins and foreign substances and helps to achieve a healthy immune system.

If the lymphatic system does not work the best, toxins in the body begins to accumulate, cell function is compromised, which can lead to physical problems (diseases).

Treatment technique and implementation of lymphatic drainage.

Lymphatic drainage is practiced with hands and fingers, with which create delicate, wave-like movements.

There is no pressing and exhausting movement, but light gentle touch. And who can practice /perform it?

Only a trained therapist. It is important to have good theoretical knowledge.

Voder’s School based in Austria is the one, in which you could obtain a good education.

Lymphatic therapist should have medical training, but participate in it should also be seminars and symposia.

It is important to know their limits and that knows how to dissuade customer from the therapy; those customers, which are not suitable (from medical view, contradictions) to have drainage.

What about the number of therapy that are recommended?

In lymphatic drainage is advisable to have ten therapies, which should be carried out daily or at least every other day.

Some sometimes need more treatments to react, others less.

Some patients feel drowsy immediately after treatment (because it affects the nervous system),

but soon after that they wake up, when the others were awakened and refreshed immediately after treatment.

Immediately after (especially if its done well) it is possible, that you will feel need to discharge water.

This is a logical consequence of removing of surplus fluids and toxins from the body.

What about the lymphatic drainage to win over cellulite?

Lymphatic drainage is successful in fighting against cellulite, especially when it is in the initial state of water stagnation.

Influence on the people on the proper functioning of the lymphatic system.

People can effect on the functioning of lymphatic system with enough drink and to have enough daily exercise.

Special jumping is one that affects the well-lymphatic system. The best recommended tool is trampoline and skipping rope.

See, it’s not necessary that you are falying of every day to the gym, and practice in crowd.

You can go out in the nature, or even practice sometimes at home, which skipping rope.

We all have it at home and why not use it.

But remember, sometimes, the simplest exercises are the best.

And, let me also tell you that, for most of them, when practices, you only need some practice mat to do practice on.

Any don’t forget – lymphatic drainage is also very very good for eliminating stress and organism recovery.

And it’s recommended almost for everyone.

In year 2004 after quite a long time, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, has approved for the first time, a new botox treatment for excessive sweating under armpit; also called axillary hyperhidroses.

More accurate, at July 16th FDA approved Botox (Botulinum toxin type A) for severe treatment of sweaty armpits, for those patients, who wasn’t get help with antiperspirant.

Botox is produced in company named Allergan, in city Irvine, California, USA and it is the most studied botulinum toxin brand, known all over the world.

Botox is available for more than decades, and has been used to treat more than one million patients with various medical conditions.

Including also various deformations and movement disorders.

With FDA approval, the United States are joining more than 20 other countries, that have already approved botox treatment to treat excessive sweating.

Usage of local botulinum toxin injections is a promising approach to reduce and relieve hyperdoses symptoms.

Researches has shown that armpits, hands, feet and face treatment with botulinum toxin is safely and effective.

In a clinical study, which have include 322 patients with severe armpits sweating, more than 81% which received injections reached more than 50% less sweating.

Also interesting is, that more than 50% of all patients have reduce sweating for least 201 days, which is nearly 7 months.

Effective use of botulinum toxin type A injections

Usage of Botox treatment for sweating is most effective if it’s done by a special doctor, who went through special training and have experience with the procedure.

Botulinum toxin injections can be administered in the medical’s office.

It requires relatively little time and don’t require any restrictions on work or leisure activities (except intensive exercise, or use of sauna on the day of treatment).

During the process, doctor uses a very fine needle, with which inject small quantities of botulinum toxin, just under the skin near the sweat gland.

These are responsible for excessive sweating problems. Doctor, who give you this botox treatment, could decide, that you could use more injections regarding your necessary treatment.

But moreover, be careful, and think twice, before you start the procedure. It’s quite known, that a lot of people don’t need “beauty improvement”.

But getting rid of unpleasant sweating is not one of them. I would recommend it, as I; myself know how embarrassing and unpleasant this could be some time.

Furthermore, if we look from the other side, sweating is known as a physical reaction, therefore, it would also help, and that we calm down ourselves (if this is our main problem).

For this we would need a bit of meditation practice and some breathing exercise. These are quite easy to achieve.
I would give it a shoot, it could be easy to learn, and quite effective.

Anyway, I should write a bit more about effective use of Botox treatment; I didn’t mentioned jet, that injections in the palms and sole may sometimes be quite painful.
In order to ease the discomfort, doctors use some of many techniques of anesthesia, such as; creams pain, nerve blockage, ice or vibration.
There is always possibility, that some sweat gland could be missed in the process. As a result, you could still continue experienced sweating in untreated areas.

If this happens, it is important to discuss it with your doctor for a re-evaluation of these areas; the possibility to “fill” the gaps with additional injections.

Botulinum toxin injections do not cure hyperhidroses and your symptoms will gradually return. Subsequent injections are necessary to maintain dryness.

These additional injections may be necessary in do them in intervals, ranging from seven to sixteen months.

Therefore, know that this is not a treatment, which would end sweating. But it would definitely reduce it, and moreover, make you feel better and more confident.

But on the end, the decision for these botox treatment is on your side. But the most important is that you get the best information about it, before you decide to do it.

A poison that can’t compare to anything, when used in higher dose than normal

Many people say often: “Looks good, but this is due to Botox“. Someone else would add, that precisely because of Botox, someone look quite terrifying. Therefore it is not surprising, that Botox have gained such reputation.

As I already mentioned in my previous post, Botox (botulinum toxin) is a natural purified protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Substance stops stimulation on the path from nerves and the small facial muscles, which creates facial expression.

It is injected in very small quantities and it’s causing relaxation of mimic muscles and prevents their consciously and subconsciously contraction.

The skin over the muscles therefore becomes more soft and smooth. It only works on selected muscle (injected with Botox), other muscles, however, operate normally.

Botox is effective at smoothing medium or strong expressed wrinkles, and it’s not appropriate for to remove or smooth scars. For removing scars, patient is opted for surgery.

Botox is most commonly used for removing wrinkles on the forehead, between eyebrows and wrinkles around eyes. Moreover is also used to remove wrinkles from neck, chin or décolletage.

One therapy usually takes around 15 to 20 minutes and is done without narcosis or local anesthesia, as this is done with a very thin needle and the pain is bearable.  In a lot of magazines and on the internet we can find many photos of famous people, which have been treated with Botox.

There are always pics from before and after the intervention. Some are happy, the other are not, and there are also ones, who are reminding us to danger that injection of Botox could cause us. I have find out talking to a plastic expert, how true are the rumors. I find out the following;

Botox is not recommended if:

• you have any muscle disorders,
• you are pregnant or breastfeeding,
• you have problems with the injection of medical products into muscles, inflammation or deterioration of the muscles,
• are already consuming aminoglycoside antibiotics or drugs for muscle relaxation,
• you have active inflammation in the part of your body you want to be treated,
• you had surgery in this part of the muscle,
• you have inflammation in the muscle where you want injection
• you have problems with swallowing or breathing
• you have any problems with the muscles
• if you are planning operation in injected area

Botox could be very dangerous when used by laics, people with no experience or knowledge.
Botox was first used in 2002 and with it each year are performed millions of interventions, using Botox.

Recently, especially in Great Britain, you could find a lot of articles about side effects, which are caused by using Botox.

The authors indicate possibility that individuals have problem, because treatment was done by an incompetent person. These days you could easily purchase Botox from the Internet.

I have come across with many articles, where in USA on a “Botox parties” a lot of things are happening, and a lot of Botox users use it freely on each other. Very important is that injections are done in only certain parts of the body /face, specific muscles on which you want to do mortification.

Therefore is highly recommended and essential that is done only by experts, and not laics.
Before any intervention or injections experts will always talk through all possibilities with patient, and also find out about wishes and expectations.

It’s very important to know, that there are two sorts of wrinkles; hyper-kinetic wrinkles, which are result of the muscles activity, and wrinkles which are due to »tired« skin. And Botox works only on hyper-kinetic wrinkles.

Also is very usefully to have discussion before the injection, because of the potential contraindications. Moreover, Botox is equally effective on elderly and young people, but it depends on muscle strength, which is declining with elderly people.

The effect lasts three to four months, and is renewed with continues treatments.

It also works against sweat

Botox is not used only to reduce wrinkles but also to treat/prevent excessive sweating. Botulinum toxin paralyses sweat gland in the treated area and after therapy sweating completely cease.
The medicine is effective only at the spot, where injection have been done and is not absorbed into the body and does not act systemically in the body.

The treatment is not harmful for the body. The spots for treatment are armpits, hands or feet, but the effect lasts for eight to ten months and is not renewed with each new therapy.

Almost everyone is satisfied

So, what is going on with unsatisfied patients? Botox can be used in one week time, after that is not recommended to use it for another three months, it’s strictly forbidden. After three months the effect is reduced and skin regain state as it was before treatment.

Unsatisfied patients are minimal, maybe from two to three percent, but most of them are happy and will always return. These are information which I received from expert. In small talk – “it’s like an addition”. Botox is also called “elixir for youth”, as after the treatment appearance on the skin is more “shiny” and relaxed.

Expert I talk to does from 80 to 100 interventions every year. And the number is increasing.  Customers are manly women (eighty percent), but interest for rejuvenating therapy is among celebrities as also among ordinary people.

It is the same effect as with woman and man treatment, but with man is usually used slightly more substance, because they have stronger muscles.
Few interesting things – after the intervention with Botox, in the fallowing three days, you should not be taking drugs that affect blood clotting (aspirin, anadol …).

Four hours after treatment shouldn’t massage your muscles, but it is advanced to move it a bit. It’s also very advisable and recommended to use cold compress to prevent bruises and pain.

Poison that can’t compare to anything

It’s very interesting that Botox is most poisonous natural substance in nature. But has a very high »security window«. This means that a doctor should inject 500-times higher dose than normal, that would be fatal (lethal dose is 500).

A lot of other drugs are more dangerous than Botox.

For example; certain heart drugs have lethal dose 5, means, that if you take 5 tablets instead of one, you are dead.

Therefore, experts say, if you know how to use Botox in right quantities and on the right muscles – then this could be as medicine. But in the quasi-hands could be very dangerous.

Que (waiting time) and prices – ques varies from expert to expert. But on average, you will probably wait two to four weeks, sometimes more than a month and a half, and the rest only a few days.

Also prices are very different; in some clinics starting at 200 Euros or less, the rest in more than 300 Euros, but the price depends on the amount injected Botox.

Complications

During the procedure may appear slight bleeding, which stops almost immediately after the injection. Immediately or with a delay may occur the following reactions: allergy to the substance of preparation, sore, bruise (visible up to one week), redness or pain, sometimes associated with the itch, which can take several days.

With vertical smoothing between the eyebrows, 0.5 percent of patients experience serious problems with the temporary lifting of the upper eyelids, which disappears within three weeks.

Therefore, I would recommend, use Botox with caution. Try to find out as much as you could before intervention and do think through, if you really needed.

Instead of Botox, I would recommend you, to smile as much as you can, and look positively on life ahead.

That’s the best treatment you can give to yourself.

Blood group B has appeared before 10,000 to 15,000 years ago in the mountainous Himalayas in the part of today’s Pakistan and India. Mutation has occurred probably in response to climate change. The first individuals with blood type B have occurred in India or the Ural mountains in Asia, in the mixed tribes in Caucasus and between Mongols.

A new blood group had quickly become a characteristic of large tribes, which were colonizing in steppes are have been dominated at that time in Eurasian plains. When the Mongol started to move towards Asia, the gene for blood group B was already firmly rooted. These nomad populations were focused towards north, and they were also bringing with them their culture, based on production of livestock and dairy products.  The nomad shepherds were divided into two groups: first, rural, less mobile group in the south and east area and the other, more combat team with excellent riding skills, which were break through Eastern Europe. As a result of this, we can still find today gene for group B in present Eastern European peoples.

Meanwhile, the agrarian focused group had stabilized in China, Southeast Asia. In accordance with the nature and climate of these areas new colonists invented and used many new methods of irrigation and soil treatment, which showed the high creativity, intelligence, and practicality. In comparison with other blood groups, the group B is much more clearly geographically arranged. For the time being, the highest proportion of group B can be found among subcontinental Indians, the people of Caucasus origin.

Moreover, we can also find lots of people with blood type B in the north of China and Korea. In order to survive, are ancestors of blood type B should be flexible and creative. From that point of view they are middle path between the system and conformism of group A and hard determination of blood type 0. Blood group B is biologically is more flexible than other groups and less susceptible to many diseases.

They can participate with different personalities and are less prone to conflict. Amongst Jewish people if group B highly represented. In the tradition of their intelligence, peacefulness and Spirituality coexist with a strong physical structure to fight, if necessary. Maybe it sounds as a contradiction, but this is only various tuning of energies of group B.

Characteristics: Balanced, a strong immune system, tolerant digestive tract, eater of milk and dairy products, manage to adapt to different diets, responds to the stress on the best way – with creativity, needs a balance between physical and mental activity in order to maintain health.

Predispositions of the following problems: a viral inflammation, influenza, diseases caused by viruses with the slow-acting (sclerosis multiplex, Lou Gehrig disease – Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-like neurological disease), autoimmune disease, diabetes type 1 (children), sinusitis, including chronic.

Foods which will make you gain weight

Maize – inhibits insulin efficiency, slows metabolism, Lens – hinders the absorption of nutrients, slows down metabolism, Peanuts – slowing down the metabolism, Sesame seeds – slows down the metabolism, buckwheat – impedes digestion, slow metabolism, and wheat – impedes digestion and metabolism, causing accumulation of fat and hinders the use of calories for energy, inhibits insulin efficiency. Most of them could cause hypoglycemia.
People with blood type B were liable to hypoglycemia, which causes uncomfortable feeling, and raises “big hunger.” Therefore I would recommend to be avoided in the regime or diets of many small meals. It is not so much a problem when you eat, but what you eat. If you would eliminate from your meals food that could potentially cause hypoglycemia (listed above), the problem will be solved easily.

However, if you eat many small meals, you could cause with this risk of confusion in your hunger signals. Meaning, that as a result of all written above, you will eat enough, but still in the end of the day you will still feel hunger.  Moreover you will find out with the surprise that on your list of food you are allowed to cheeses, which are normally prohibited in losing weight diets. However, without fear: with a balanced diet and the right amount of dairy products will help your metabolism. More important is to remove food which is distracting your metabolism and effectiveness of insulin.

Foods which help you lose weight

Green vegetables – stimulates metabolism, meat – stimulates metabolism, eggs and dairy products – , liver - stimulates metabolism, tea from the sweet root – removes hypoglycemia.

Reaction to stress – aerobics (44-60 min, 3x per week), tennis (45-60 min, 3x per week), martial arts (30-60 min, 3x per week), rhythmic gymnastics (30-45 min, 3x per week), walk (30-60 min, 3x per week), cycling (45-60 min, 3x per week), swimming (30-45 min, 3x per week), fast walking (30-60 min, 3x per week), jogging (30-45 min, 3x per week), lifting weights (30-45 min, 3x per week), golf (60 minutes, 2x per week), tai Chi (45 min, 2x a week), hata Yoga (45 min, 2x a week).

NUTRITION

Meat – look like there is directs link between stress, autoimmune diseases and beef meat, at least in blood group B. Our ancestors were more likely to adapt to other types of meat (after all, tundra is an ideal habitat for cows …). If you feel tired or your immune system does not work the best, prefer to choose between the sheep, goat or rabbit meat instead of beef and turkey. Indeed, I would recommend to slowly giving up chicken meat because it contains lectins which are harmful to the group B.

If you already do not want to give up white meat, do chose between turkey and pheasant. Many would be surprise to find out, that for blood type B, there is no go to switch from red meat to white meat. It would do you any good. Actually, it would be pointless to do that for people with group B. It is not the quantity of fat in meat that is significant, but lectins, which are contained and which will cause you problems in a long run, most likely problems in the circulatory and immune system.

Useful: lamb, mutton, rabbit, venison. Neutral: Beef, buffalo meat, liver, pheasant, turkey, veal. Harmful: bacon, chicken, turkey, goose, quail, duck, honey, pork.

Fish – Fish are an excellent food for the group B, in particular the deep-sea fish, which live in cold waters of the oceans as cod and salmon, which are rich nutritional oils. White fish such as plaice is also an excellent source of protein for high-quality group B. Avoided should be crab and mussel. (it is very difficult because for me to named them all, as the fishes use several names …).

Milk, dairy products and eggs – bloody type B is the only group that tolerates well many dairy products. The reason is very simple; the antigen of type B has an integral part of fucosy and D-galatosamin- sugar, which is similar to sugar in the milk. You can also enjoy the eggs (3-4 per week), because you can’t find lectins in it, as is known for chicken meat.

What if you have intolerance to lactose? First, start with any preparatory containing the enzyme lactose which “digest” lactose in milk. In a few weeks (when you start the diet for group B), start with a small amounts of dairy products (yogurt or kefir first), so that your digestive tract have time to get used to the new diet. It have point up, that most members of group B have overcome intolerance, once you have also corrected other food “mistakes”.

Useful: feta, goat cheese, cream cheese, goat milk, kefir, mozzarella, salted cow cheese, or 2% skimmed milk, yogurt (fruit or white). Neutral: Brie, butter, Camembert, Parmesan, cheese made from buffalos’ milk, Cheddar, Edam, emental, neufchatel, whole milk, Swiss cheese, gruyere, Muenster, Provolone, soy cheese, soy milk, cream cheese (formaggini). Harmful: ice cream, gorgonzola, processed cheese.

The risk of cancer is not reduced only from the appropriate diet and adequate weight, muscle mass is also important.

Team of experts from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden followed the living habits of 8,677 volunteers, male, aged between 20 and 82 years between 1980 and 2003.  Each volunteer had a regular medical examinations, where experts also measured muscle strength of the individual. They also followed how many suffered from cancer and the proportion of deaths for this severe disease.

The study showed that men who regularly practice with weights, have the highest muscle strength, and are 30 to 40% less likely to fall ill and die of cancer as well. They observed that the protective effect of anaerobic exercise even with the overweight volunteers, which trained regularly with weights.

In the past, experts recommended especially aerobic exercise, such as jogging, cycling … and a healthy lifestyle as a preventive measure against the occurrence of certain diseases. Today, however, experts recommend that menshould be training at least 2-times a week with weights, and not neglecting any muscle group.
