WEAVING AND BONDING HAIR

WEAVING AND BONDING HAIR

Both weaving and bonding are procedures which use hair pieces to cover bald patches.

The hair piece is made of three basic parts.

Part one: is a synthetic base which is made of material that blends into the skin as far as possible ,
Part two: is the artificial hair, which can be human or synthetic hair, and isplanted into the synthetic base,
Part three: is the tape or clips which attach the hair piece to the scalp.

When the attachments is done with tapes, it is known as weaving and when done using clips, it is known as bonding.

ADVANTAGES: In the last stages of baldness where even hair transplanttation doesen't work, weavingand bondig are more effective and sometimes the only choice of treatments. Unlike hair transplant there is no medication involved and so there is no danfer of any side effects. However, there are certain factors to consider before doing these procedures.


Factors to be kept in mind for weaving and bonding:

The main factor to consider is the hair line stability.
Since the hair piece is attached along the hairline, it should b done only after the hair line is first made stable. If's it's done without stabilizing the hair line, a gap begins to appear between the hair piece and the natural hair after sometime . If this happens the hair pice and the natural hair after sometime. If this happens the hair piece is rendered useless and the entire procedure has to be repeated.

Docs warn of skin lightening creams

Docs warn of skin lightening creams:

British doctors have issued a warnig about illegal skin lightening creams after a case in which a women fell sick from using a product laced with a powerful steroid.

The woman was extremely obese, had thin, bruised, stripy skin and suffered from muscle weakness.

She had been trying unsuccessfully to conceive for the previous 18 months even
though she had regular periods.

The creams she used contained the steroid clobetasol, a powerful corticosteroid usually used against psoriasis and eczema.

Black pepper could lead to better treatments for a disfiguring skin condition that affects about 1% of the world's population.


A team at king's college showed in a dtudy of mice that piperine the compound that gives black pepper it's spicy pungent flavour and it's synthetic derivatives stimulated pigmentation in the skin of people with vitiligo.

A miracle remedy

A miracle remedy

If we offered you a miracle remedy that prevents cardiac disease, certain types of cancer, diabetes, obesity, tooth decay and varicose veins, would you buy it?

Certainly you would.

There is such a product. But it is not a recent discovery and you won’t find it in a pharmacy but at the grocery store. We are talking about fiber.

A study conducted in Holland on 871 men, over a period of ten years, showed that subjects who had a low fiber diet were three times more susceptible to mortal disease - causes notwithstanding - than those who ate a lot of fiber (Future Youth).

This said, it cannot be confirmed at present that fiber prevents the above mentioned diseases in all cases. But there is conclusive proof that they occur more frequently in populations with low fiber diets which is precisely the case in the west.

According to The Lancet (the British Medical Journal) a diet which contains at least 37 grams of fiber per day (the equivalent of one cup of bran, one apple, one potato and a half cup of cooked spinach) can effectively protect the organism against chronic illnesses common to western society.

So fiber is useful in combatting many disorders besides constipation.

Reducing your cholesterol

Reducing your cholesterol

To reduce cholesterol:
· First cut down on saturated fats. To do this:
· Eat lean meat. Select lean cuts and ask your butcher to cut off
the fat.
· Drink skim milk instead of whole milk.

Do the same for all dairy products.

Note that vegetarians have a much lower cholesterol level (almost twice as low as average) which is perfectly understandable, since cholesterol is only found in products derived from animals.

· Alcohol - in moderation. Not more than two glasses a day.

However, it does appear that drinking a moderate amount of alcohol raises the number of HDL lipids (the good ones!), which break down cholesterol. (Moderation = two 4 oz. glasses of wine or two 12 oz. beers.)

· Do regular exercise, for example walking.

· Take Vitamin E. It reduces the risk of coronary disease.

· Calcium brewer’s yeast, Vitamin C and Vitamin B-6 also combat the accumulation of cholesterol. And don’t forget lecithin, which helps fight excess cholesterol, arteriosclerosis, hypertension.

Digest better

There is a plant for each type of digestion problem.

· AIGREMOINE is useful when the stomach problem is accompanied by enteritis, diarrhea and/or chronic liver infection. It helps tone a lazy digestive system. And it also helps regularize acidity and soothe ulcers by improving metabolism.

3 or 4 cups a day. 3 1/2 to 4 tablespoons per quart of water.

· ANGELICA is a digestive, an aperitif, a stimulant, a tonic. It decongests and soothes stomach pains and swelling.

Prepare an infusion (tea) preferably using the fresh plant: 3 1/2 tablespoons of roots per quart of water. If your stomach is very swollen, prepare and drink 3 cups per day made of 5 tablespoons of seeds per quart of water.

· ANISE is a soothing digestive. It aids digestion and the elimination of intestinal gas, it soothes stomach cramps, aerophagy, dyspepsia (contractions of the digestive organs, dizziness and a heavy feeling after eating).

2 or 3 cups per day, after meals: 2 tablespoons of seeds per quart of water.

· CAMOMILE: a digestive, sedative, anti-inflammation agent and tonic. It helps painful or difficult digestion, stomach cramps, gastro-intestinal spasms, loss of appetite, and it helps expulsion of gas

Stop catching colds

Stop catching colds

As much as possible, avoid coming into close contact with infected persons, especially if they cough or sneeze.

A person with a cold is extremely contagious: he or she fills the air with fine particles of saliva or mucous which transport the virus microbe. Even if the person is careful to wipe his nose with tissue or a handkerchief, the microbes will be transported to his hands.

And studies have shown that these viruses are transmitted through hand contact. So if you have to shake hands with someone who has a cold, you would better wash soon after!


What can you do if you do catch a cold?

It is useless to take antibiotics: they have no effect on viruses.
However, there are certain substances found in alcohol which help decongestant sinuses, that is why a good hot toddy can work wonders.

But take care of your liver: a toddy is just as good with a little rum as with a lot.

You don’t have to get drunk to get better. You don’t even have to drink it - just sniff some strong alcohol like cognac or brandy and breathe in the fumes.

Use heat to cure

Use heat to cure

Everyone has heard about how good a sauna feels, and of the relaxing effect of a steam bath which bathes you in hot vapor.

But there are other heat treatments which are equally beneficial.

Heat relaxes the muscles and ligaments. When applied locally, for example, with hot towels, it can ease muscle spasms. It can also reduce arthritic pain. Heat dilates the blood vessels, which in turn activates circulation.

Applied to a wound, it can prevent infection by helping white blood corpuscles and fresh oxygen surround the area more quickly.

How to combat fatigue

How to combat fatigue

First make sure you are sleeping enough.If its o.k, check

Is your nutrition sufficient?

In general women need at least 1200 calories per day and men 1500.

Avoid monotony: a varied diet will be more likely to provide the nutritive elements you need to conserve your energy.

The sensation of fatigue may be stress-related, especially when you experience emotional stress.



Do you feel tense at work or at home?

Lastly, don’t neglect physical exercise. Tired or not, get out in the fresh air every day. Walking is the minimum effort necessary for staying in shape.

Protect yourself against cancer

Protect yourself against cancer

Radical liberals are not a political group, but a kind of very active molecule that is suspected of being one of the causes of cancer.

How can you protect yourself?

Diet plays an important role here, especially in the absorption of anti-oxidants.

The strongest anti-oxidizing agent is Vitamin E, which is found in wheat germ oil and sunflower seeds.
Next comes Vitamin C (oranges, grapefruits, lemons, red peppers etc.).

Beta carotene also absorbs large amounts of radical liberals.

This substance seems to act as a protecting agent against most types of cancer.


Where do you find it?

In red vegetables (like tomatoes), orange ones (carrots), yellow (squash), and dark green (broccoli). All these are rich in beta carotene. So make them a regular part of your menu!

Prevent high blood pressure

Prevent high blood pressure

Research has shown that people whose diet is rich in potassium (vegetarians for example) are less likely than others to develop high blood pressure.

Calcium is also beneficial. Fortunately, potassium and calcium are abundantly present in a large variety of foods.

Fruits, vegetables, beans, fish, fowl and lean meats are full of potassium.

Calcium is a little more restricted. Foods rich in calcium usually also contain large amounts of sodium and fat, which can increase blood pressure.

However, moderate amounts of milk are recommended, as well as yogurt, almonds, bananas, grapes, broccoli, potatoes, beans, tofu and sardines.

Iron strong health

Iron strong health

Without iron, there would be no hemoglobin in the blood.

Hemoglobin gives red corpuscles their color. And it is the hemoglobin that carries oxygen to all parts of the body.

If you lack iron, an insufficient supply of oxygen in your hemoglobin will produce sensations of fatigue, headaches and shortness of breath.

Men don’t have to worry too much: most men have a reserve of iron stored in their body that could last 3 years !

But women, because of the menstrual cycle, need twice as much iron as men. And the amount is even higher for pregnant women. Vitamin C doubles the amount of iron the body absorbs: so it is a good idea too add a glass of tomato or orange or grapefruit juice to every meal.

On the other hand, tea reduces the amount of iron absorbed by 50% and coffee by about 39%.

Aging with a healthy body and mind

Aging with a healthy body and mind

Did you know that sexual activity can keep you looking good as you age? Studies conducted in Sweden have shown that elderly people who have sexual partners have much more vitality and a better memory than those who do not.

So don’t let your golden years deprive you of the pleasures of sex !

Just forget about the obsession of having to “perform” - the final result is less important than the stimulation itself.

How to put an end to heartburn

How to put an end to heartburn

Heartburn usually results from excess acidity in the stomach, or from improper functioning of your digestive system.

At the point where the esophagus and stomach join, a special muscle opens and closes the esophagus. When we swallow food this muscle relaxes to let the food pass into the stomach after which it closes again.

But it can happen that the muscle malfunctions. The contents of the stomach then rise back up the esophagus, irritating the area. And this results in the infamous feeling of heartburn.

How to stop it?

Avoid acidic foods (lemons, etc.), alcohol, fat or fried food, food that is overcooked, coffee, juice, tomato base products and chocolate. But don’t deprive yourself too much. Rather, observe which foods bring on heartburn and avoid them.

Also, don’t go to sleep right after eating (you should eat supper around 7 o’clock) and don’t smoke, especially after meals.

How to prevent Flatulence

How to prevent Flatulence (Aerophagy)

Aerophagy results simply from “eating” air. The condition is not dramatically serious, but it does bloat the stomach and can prove embarrassing (stomach gurgles, etc.)

How to prevent it?

Above all chew your food properly and savor it fully. Swallowing too much is a direct cause of aerophagy. So don’t swallow needlessly.

Don’t drink a lot when you eat. Avoid tobacco and alcohol, cabbage, radishes, doughy bread, strong spices and bubbly drinks.

Don’t eat food that is too hot or too cold.

And pay attention to the kinds of food you eat together: make a note of any combination that seems to provoke an attack and avoid it in future.

The anti-allergy vitamin

The anti-allergy vitamin

So much has been said in praise of Vitamin C. So it is not surprising that it is also effective in treating allergic reactions like hayfever.

We recommend taking Vitamin C in the form of ascorbate rather then ascorbic acid. When taken in ascorbic acid form, it can cause gastro-intestinal disorders.

To fight an allergic reaction, you should consume up to 8 grams.

5 grams are necessary, on average. Start with a dose of 3 grams.

Every three hours, take another 1 or 2 grams, until the symptoms disappear completely.

How to prevent motion sickness - naturally

How to prevent motion sickness - naturally

Did you know that half a teaspoon of ground ginger is more effective than chemical medication in suppressing motion or sea sickness? And unlike most medication, it will not make you drowsy.

Ginger has been used in the Orient for centuries to prevent sea sickness.

Researchers asked subjects who were especially susceptible to motion sickness to sit in a reclining chair that spun around at high speed. All the subjects who ingested a well known medication or who took a placebo experienced violent nausea and/or vomiting.

On the other hand, six of the twelve subjects who took ginger twenty minutes before the test experienced no discomfort. They consumed only 840 milligrams of ground ginger, which is the equivalent of half a teaspoon.

The Japanese have a very curious method of treating all kinds of motion sickness. They use an adhesive plaster to fasten an “umeboshi” (a very salty fermented plum, available in most health food stores in the West) to their navel. The idea may seem a little strange, but what have you got to lose!

Menstrual cramps - suffer no more!

Menstrual cramps - suffer no more!

To reduce the intensity of menstrual symptoms, you can change your diet:

· Less sugar, and slightly more protein.

· Diuretic foods such as eggplant, cucumbers and parsley can help diminish water retention.

· Calcium supplements (1 gram per day) and magnesium (500 milligrams) can help reduce anxiety (always take both).

· Vitamin B-6 (not more than 50 milligrams per day) can alleviate symptoms of anxiety and tension.

· Vitamins E and C also help reduce the intensity of cramps.

· Aspirin has a mildly soothing effect.

· And once again you can turn to plants to relieve your pains:

* ANGELICA in infusion: 3 1/2 tablespoons of root per quart of water.

* MATRIX (derived from the Latin for womb): 2 teaspoons of flowers per quart of water.
