It is very important to keep your skin healthy and glowing. So in order to keep your skin supple, especially during those hot sunny days; you need to stay away from the sunlight, as sun’s radiations brings in two kinds of radiations; the ultra violet(UV) and the infra red(IR) radiations, too much of exposure to these rays can cause your skin to tan or burn. Basically the UV radiations are the one which causes wrinkle to your skin and it is also believed that they can cause skin cancer. How to protect your skin from these harmful radiations of the sun?

You can use sunscreen creams or lotions that carry the ‘Sun Protecting Factor Rating System” also called as SPF. This protecting agent was introduced into sunscreens lotions or creams in 1978 to prevent sun burns. If you expose your skin to the sun for 10 minutes without the sunscreen protection, you’re skin will turn pink, but if you are using a sun screen protection, it will take 20 minutes. This also depends upon the type of skin being exposed. If your skin is fairer, then your skin will be affected sooner and darker the skin, the melanin pigment acts as a natural blocker, and provides you a better protection from the sun.

The SPF numbers actually indicates the percentage of UV rays the cream or lotion blocks. For instance, a product with SPF 2, block about fifty percent of the sun’s rays. Products with SPF 15 can block about ninety three percent of the radiations. Products with SPF 30 can block nearly ninety seven percent of the radiations. Hence the more SPFs, the more protection you get. But you need to keep in mind that, no sunscreen creams or lotions can give you hundred percent protection from the harmful UV radiations, so always be under a shade and also wear a cap and shades.

Oral thrush generally refers to the infection caused by yeast fungi that belongs to the genus Candida and affects the mucous membrane in the mouth of the infants. The infection is usually caused by Candia albicans or Candida tropicalis or Candida glabrata. The infection that affects the mouth or throat in adults is referred to as moniliasis or candidosis.

Oral thrush though associated with infection affecting the mouth and oral areas, at times is also wrongly used to portray penile or vaginal Candiasis that affect the genital area. It is common in babies, and can happen especially after being on medication like antibiotics over a period of time. Otherwise, it generally affects people who are ill, especially those who have a weak immune system.

It is caused by Candida fungus. The fungus is found in the skin, mouth and digestive tract of most of the healthy people and is usually kept under check by some other microorganisms like bacteria present in the body. However, the Candida fungus tends to grow and spread out of control in people with certain illness, are under stress, or on medication causing the infection. Medications like antibiotics, corticosteroids, and birth control pills can alter the delicate balance of micro-organisms in the mouth causing the disease

The treatment for oral thrush in adults focuses on two main aspects. The first aim is to improve and strengthen the body’s immune system so that it can function properly and effectively. For example, people suffering with diabetes can get rid off the infection by simply keeping their diabetes under check without taking any special treatment for the infection. The second approach is to treat the infection directly. Your physician may recommend lozenges or an anti-fungal mouthwash initially. However, if the infection is still there after 5-7 days further medications can be prescribed.

Abhyanga means full body oil massage by one or more therapists. Our treatment calls for one therapist working on one side of the body at a time using warmed aromatic oils to nourish the skin and mobilize deeper tissues. During the massage marmas (secret energy points) are used to freshen and revitalize the body.

Finally, a warmed ubtan, herbal powder, is sprinkled over the whole body to polish the skin leaving you feeling light, energized and relaxed. This abhyanga treatment is deeply revitalizing and relaxing whilst at the same time being gently cleansing and detoxifying. The use of marma points, customized quality oils and herbal ubtan leaves the client feeling clear, calm, strengthened and more balanced on a deep level. Here in the West few of us are so fortunate to have this type of support, although many Ayurvedic lifestyle followers massage themselves daily or at least regularly with warmed oil. Warm oil massage has always been a popular treatment in spas worldwide.

In recent years Abhyanga, the Ayurveda oil massage performed by one or two therapists, has become one of the best known and loved Ayurvedic treatments. Unlike Swedish massage, Abhyanga uses oils that are custom blended for a client’s body and skin type.

The stokes are conducted away from the heart and follow the flows of the body’s subtle energies rather than just the circulation. This exotic and peacefully effective treatment works not only on the body. It also offers benefits for the mind and deep into the soul, as it has long been recognized as essential to a long, healthy and happy life.
