Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

If you’re serious about relaxation and rejuvenation, then consider the many benefits and advantages of a Sauna. While a hot sauna may seem a cruel punishment to inexperienced bathers, it is actually a very pleasant experience. The Sauna and Steam Bath Guide details the process of steam sauna usage and how you can benefit using more modern but natural methodology.

There is no one right way to take a sauna. Above all, you should be in good company, so that you can enjoy the experience in peace. Beginning users should use the sauna judiciously to start. As long as you feel comfortable, you may stay in the sauna, or repeat a hot-cold cycle as often as you wish. Avoid using a sauna if you have a fever or an inflammatory disease or injury, if you are pregnant, or if you have been drinking. You may want to consult your physician if you have a disease, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, asthma or skin disease. Though it’s interesting to know that sauna usage doesn’t seem to harm billion plus people all across the globe.

To get the most of the sauna, you will need; At least half an hour of time, preferably more, so you have ample time to relax, a large towel to dry yourself, a smaller towel to sit on, a bathrobe to wear while cooling down
Enjoying a sauna is a personal thing; you should always listen to your body and do as you feel best. You should not remain inside longer than 30 minutes at a time. If there is a pounding or feeling of faintness, the person must leave the heated room and sit quietly. Drinking water with electrolytes would prove helpful also as well as fresh fruit juice.

After cooling down for a few minutes, go into the sauna again and stay a bit longer. When you feel like having another break, feel free to do so.

Finally shower to clean yourself from the sweat. Avoid using soap as soap leaves a film and clogs the pores. Wash off the sweat with a skin brush or loofa. Brush all over, even face and hair. Painful at first, it soon feels wonderful. Brushing enhances the cleansing effect. Shampoo and conditioner contain chemicals toxic to the body so use only if needed.

Allow yourself to cool and dry properly before clothing yourself. This allows time to eliminate dead cells and other debris.

Follow the sauna with a peaceful rest and a drink. Drink mineralized water before and after the sauna. Make sure the bowels move regularly, as sauna therapy will increase elimination.

As you become healthier, you will sweat more easily. Also, to heat up the sauna will take longer. The body dissipates heat more efficiently and fewer cellular toxins are there to be removed. Results are much better when saunas are part of an integrated program. The latest resource is an ebook guide called “The Sauna and Steam Bath Guide”, by Sylita Thomas.

The basic goal is to enjoy and relax, and sweat. It’s a simple, uncomplicated pleasure, to which nobody is exempt from access. So never mind the mysticism: just remember you’ve only one duty in the sauna and that’s to enjoy it.

Would you like to take sauna to another level than just sweat at the gym? Would you like to almost reach a high level of peace and serenity?

Do You Have Difficulty in Waking Up On Dark Winter Mornings?

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

Our daily internal body clocks or circadian rhythms synchronise the timing of our wake/sleep patterns and our interactions with the outside world.

Our body clocks are naturally conditioned and cued to respond to light signals or ‘zeitbeigers’ to awake at sunrise and sleep at night. Any disruption to these deeply ingrained biological rhythms can affect our body clock making us feel tired, listless, moody, irritable, depressed and crave carbohydrates and more easily succumb to illness.

Waking up to the shrill burst of an alarm clock when it is dark can send shudders through the system. In winter most of us have to wake up when it’s dark, when our body clocks want to wake up at dawn. We are constantly toying therefore with our biological clocks in this way getting into unnatural sleep wake patterns and that’s why the short and long term effects on our health can be profound.

LUMIE Sunrise Alarm Clocks are an amazing invention, employing circadian principles to work in harmony with our circadian rhythms. Changing over to waking up with LUMIE Sunrise Alarm Clocks can be life changing. It’s the gentlest most natural wake up call, especially on those dark gloomy mornings - waking up will never be such a trial again!

With the LUMIE Sunrise Alarm Clocks (Three Models - Standard, Classic and Advanced) as your preset waking time approaches, the clocks light begins to gradually shine from a feint glow becoming brighter when its time to wake. It might not be easy to believe but the light wakes you up every time. (If you’re still not convinced there is a back up alarm).

When waking up to a dawn simulation - where ever you are - your body clock tells you its time to wake. None of that wanting just a few minutes more -and more - and more……- you wake up refreshed and bright - full of energy and ready for the day ahead - everyday!

You can also use the clocks relaxing sunset mode to help you get to sleep naturally too. When you are ready to go to sleep, switch off your overhead light and switch on the LUMIE Sunset sequence. As the light dims from bright to feint - and finally off so your body clock responds and begins to adjust to sleep, the body unwinds and relaxes and falls away into deep and refreshing sleep…….
