SPA INDEX HONEY OATMEAL FACIAL


Honey is a natural antiseptic and is used to bind the honey and yogurt. The oatmeal will absorb excess oil from acne-prone skin and serve as a gentle exfoliant.



1/4 cup plain yogurt or buttermilk

1/2 cup oatmeal

2 tablespoons of honey



Finely grind or process the oatmeal in a blender or food processor. Set aside. In a small bowl, stir together honey and yogurt, and then add ground oatmeal. Mix thoroughly until a smooth paste consistency has been reached. Smooth over your face and neck, leave on for fifteen minutes, and rinse off with warm water. Can be used daily.

(For those of you that sit at DESKS all day and don't have enough time for stretching here are some great tips!)

Energy Exercises

These exercises are meant to increase energy flow throughout the body. They are mostly stretches for the acupuncture meridians and the spine.
As this set of exercises is easy and doesn't take much time to do, it's ideal to start the day with. If you're not used to doing exercise in the morning, you might find it wakes you up better than a cup of coffee. It makes you feel clearer and calmer and better able to face challenges.
For all exercises: keep your body as relaxed as possible and breath from your belly. Do them for the left and the right side of the body.

Flexibility procedure for the feet

This exercise makes your muscles relaxed and supple, as several acupuncture points that have this effect are stimulated. As the rest of the exercises go more smoothly when the muscles are in better condition, this is the perfect one to start with.

Do this while sitting on something low, a bed e.g.
1. Put the lower part of your left leg on top of the other knee. Hold it with your left hand by putting the hand over the ankle with the thumb over the achilles tendon. (Do not press the thumb in the space between the tendon and the ankle.)
Hold the sole of the foot with your right hand by putting the hand over the ball of it.
Now rotate the foot with your right hand for say 20 times total. Turn both directions and keep the foot relaxed.
2. Hold the left foot with your left hand on top. Hold all toes with the right hand, by putting the fingers on top, thumb around the big toe and top part of the palm under the toes. Rotate the toes, both directions, about 20 times. Again keep the foot relaxed.
Repeat with the right foot.

Exercise done while sitting

To open the meridians in the legs.

- Sit on a bed or a mat with your legs straight. Alternate turning both of your feet to the right and to the left. Turn far enough for the sides of your feet to touch the surface.
Do about 1 minute.

Exercises done while standing

To wake up some more.

Get up on your feet and stand with your feet parallel, and shoulder width appart. The knees should not be locked, but a bit bended and relaxed, so energy can flow uninterrupted.
- Walk in place, by alternately stand on the toes of each foot. Move the opposite hand forwards, as if walking.
Do 10 - 20 times.
- Move just your shoulders around, up, to the back, to below, to the front.
Do 4 - 10 times.
- Turn your arms, in windmill fashion, in front of you.
Do 4 - 10 times.
- Turn your arm at the side, holding the muscle right under the armpit with the other hand.
Do with both arms, 4 - 10 times.
- Gently stretch one arm up and one downward.
The upper hand with palm facing upward, fingers pointing to opposite side,
the lower hand with palm facing downward, fingers pointing to the front.
Keep for a one or two seconds, then slowly and relaxed change positions with palms facing each other.
Do 4 - 10 times.
- Put your hands on your hips and turn your bottom around, by moving it to the front, then to the right, to the back, to the left, the front, and so on. Also move counterclockwise.
Do 4 - 10 times.
- Let your arms dangle at the sides and turn your upper back around to the left, to the right, and so on. Keep your arms and upper body relaxed, move from your hips.
Do 10 - 20 times.
- Put your heel on a table or chair to stretch the back of your leg. Lay your hands near the knee to gently stretch a bit further.

How Massage Can Beat Stress

 With all the coverage on Haiti and the War on terror, stress can start to overwhelm us with all the negativity and sadness that is going on in the world.  It is also important to help out as much as we can, but not to forget about our own health and well being.  Massage can be an important part of decreasing stress and tension.

Whilst stress is one of the most common conditions found today, too many sufferers seek solutions that are short lived, synthetic and don't create the beneficial effect that they were looking for or anticipated. Massage therapy has the advantage of being a natural remedy where the benefits to the recipient are much more than just for stress relief.

Amongst the many ways to successfully manage stress, massage is a great way to relieve tension. The benefits of massage therapy are numerous, ranging from promoting relaxation to loosening tight muscles and increasing blood flow through to a natural remedy to that stress created phenomena, headache pain.

In order to break the cycle, action is required and an appointment to see a massage therapist or self massage can asiist in reducing your stress levels. What ever therapy you choose, it can help you manage stress by relieving anxiety and tension, promoting relaxation, increasing your energy, improving sleep, reducing muscle soreness, and decreasing pain. It is even possible to self massage if you understand the basic hand movements of the therapy.
