Winter is Coming: Tips to Prevent Dry Skin 'Blues'
(ContentDesk) October 5, 2005 -- When the calendar says it's October, better start preparing for the "Dry Skin Season."
Whether you suffer from dry skin seasonally or year-round, you can take some simple steps to keep your skin soft, healthy, and pain free.
"An ounce of prevention" will help you beat the discomfort and pain caused by dry, irritated skin.While every inch of our skin is affected by the cold outdoors and low humidity created indoors by heating furnaces, our hands and feet suffer the most.
Natural oils produced by the glands in the skin help the skin retain moisture.
But our hands and feet lack the oil glands that are present on all other skin surfaces.
If our palms were covered by oil, just think of all of the things that would slip out of our hands!
The same goes for the soles of our feet: we would slip and slide with every step!Without this oil, the skin on the hands and feet suffer most when exposed to excessively cold outdoor temperatures, dry indoor heat, and wearing socks and gloves made of wool or other materials that can irritate the skin.To help avoid winter weather's skin irritations, painful cracks, and unsightly appearances, Dr.
Lowell Weil, Jr. and Dr. Paul R. Kasdan, medical directors of OurHealthNetwork.com, say, "Getting a head start on winter's assault is the best thing you can do for your skin."
They recommend starting the following "good skin habits" in October, before the cold winds begin to blow:- Moisturize, moisturize, and moisturize again.
This is especially true after bathing or hand washing.
Make sure you pat your skin "almost dry."
While the skin is still damp, apply a moisturizer to hold the water in, and keep the skin from drying.- Add oil to your bath.
The oil will soothe dry skin and help "lock in" moisture.- Exfoliate patches of dry skin as soon as they appear.
This helps to prevent the skin from breaking down and cracking.
For calluses and dry cuticles, something stronger may be needed.
The doctors at OurHealthNetwork.com have found Callex Ointment to be uniquely effective in thinning and softening calluses and cuticles.- Wear clothes -- especially gloves and socks -- made of natural and comfortable fibers.
Cotton is more soothing to the skin than nylon, wool, and rubber.
Cotton will help the skin keep natural fluids in, while absorbing excessive perspiration that can cause drying.Dr. Kasdan believes most dry skin problems would disappear if everyone followed this advice.
At http://www.OurHealthNetwork.com/dryskin and http://www.OurFootDoctor.com/dryskin , Dr. Kasdan shares the recipe for his favorite exfoliative scrub you can make yourself.
For those who do not respond to "preventive measures," Dr. Weil also lists additional tips for caring for dry, cracked skin.Editor's note: Visit http://www.OurHealthNetwork.com/press or call John Moroney at 312-952-1848 for more information or a full version of this press release..
Aromatherapy And Essential Oils - The Basics
Copyright 2005 Donovan Baldwin
Aromatherapy is the use of oils extracted from various, primarily fragrant, plants to aid in the relief of a range of physical or mental discomforts or illnesses.
These oils, commonly referred to as "essential oils" are also used to enhance or encourage positive responses in the user.
These oils may be used by direct application or by inhaling the aromas, hence the name "aromatherapy".
The inhaled aromas can be dispersed by candles prepared with the essential oils, by applying the oil to some object, such as a handkerchief or pillowcase, by spraying a mix of the essential oil and water into the air, or by means of a "diffuser".
A diffuser is a device generally available from essential oil providers which uses heat to disperse molecules of the chosen essential oil into the air.
Although long used in other parts of the world, such as the East and Middle East, aromatherapy is essentially new to...

Hair Loss and Supplements
Copyright 2006 Mary Desaulniers
It wasn't until his mid-fifties that my father started losing his hair. I remember the boxes of lotions, creams, heating massage pads that kept coming to his house (much to my stepmother's chagrin). But his hairline kept receding and a decade later, only a well-greased tuft remained on the crown of his head.
Genetics had a lot to do with his situation. My older brother, almost 60 now, is showing the same pattern of thinning hair. But, unlike my father, he has a lot more treatment options at his disposal.
Causes for hair loss can run the gamut from genetics, medical treatments like chemotherapy, skin eczema or allergies, excessive stress, poor nutrition, hormonal changes like menopause and "andropause", under-active thyroid, immune disorders to trichotillomania, a psychological disorder in which people are compelled to pull out their hair.
A study in England has also shown a direct connection between smoking...
