The Anti-Aging Conundrum

Rochelle

George Bernard Shaw famously quipped, “Youth is wasted on the young.” And it’s true that, just as age bestows you with that long-sought-after wisdom and sense of self, it also brings a few unwanted gifts — like wrinkles, puffy eyes, and dull, tired-looking skin.

So, what to do? Everywhere you turn there’s a new product or treatment promising to make you look 10 years younger. Botox, Restylane, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, cosmetic surgery — the options are a bit overwhelming. Yet there are natural, and less invasive, ways to achieve long-lasting effects.

To be sure, beauty begins from the inside out, so eating healthy foods, staying hydrated, getting enough exercise and sleep, and reducing stress in your life are key to retaining that youthful glow. But when you need a little help turning back the hands of time, why not turn to the healing hands of lymphatic massage?

Called a “mini-face lift,” manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a natural and incredibly gentle way to rejuvenate your skin quickly and effectively. A highly specialized, delicate and refined modality, MLD accelerates removal of waste products that hang around trapped in the tissues, either due to stress, the environment or other factors.  It also fosters the healthy exchange of nutrients and oxygen to replace the toxins that are released during the procedure. Soothing and relaxing, MLD helps to diminish fine lines and wrinkles, reduce puffiness around the eyes, and add that desirable radiant glow — all within just a few hours of the session.

During the months of August and September, I am offering a $5 discount on all lymphatic facial sessions to encourage you to experience this incredibly effective style of massage. Please call with any questions you may have or to schedule a nurturing session.

Featured Oil: Frankincense
oil
Also known as “oil from Lebanon,” frankincense is considered a sacred oil in the Middle East and has been used in religious ceremonies for thousands of years. While its name is derived from the Medieval French word for “real incense,” frankincense has been used for its anointing and healing powers since before the time of Jesus, and was valued more than gold. It is mentioned in one of the oldest known medical records, Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian text dating from 1550 B.C. that lists ancient prescriptions and recipes. Frankincense has been used for depression, cancer, respiratory infections, inflammation and immune stimulation, and its fragrance is believed to increase spiritual awareness, promote meditation, improve attitude and uplift spirits.

One of the best ways to combat aching sore muscles (next to a massage, that is) is to take a hot Epsom salt bath. Epsom salts are sometimes touted as a miracle cure, helping to get rid of pain and toxins by simply adding two cups of salts to a bath filled with hot water.

While I always knew this to be true, I just learned that Epsom salts — made of the mineral magnesium sulfate — are also a sedative for the nervous system. When magnesium sulfate is absorbed through the skin (such as in a bath), it draws toxins from the body, sedates the nervous system, reduces swelling, relaxes muscles, acts as a natural emollient and exfoliator, and much more.  So treat yourself to a nice hot bath and relax before bedtime — it’s a great way to assist in getting that rejuvenating sleep that sometimes seems elusive in our busy lives.

Caution: Do not take hot baths and salt baths (including Epsom salt baths) if you have heart trouble, high blood pressure, or are diabetic.
