Use EMSCULPT Machine to Tone Muscles In Multiple areas of Your Body

During the lockdown between March and May I wasn’t working out intensively, so I noticed that my body needs a tone up. When I heard about Emsculpt, a new noninvasive, body contouring method that promises to build muscles— it sounded like a miracle to me.

As a highly active and healthy person, who knows the benefits of a strong core that improves posture and less back, neck, and knee pain— I was even more excited to try this treatment.

What is Emsculpt?

Emsculpt is an FDA-cleared to build muscle and eliminate fat for both men and women. Non-invasive, electromagnetic procedure that claims to eliminate fat cells and tighten muscles on four of the most common problem area: abs, glutes, tights and arms. All you have to do is, lie down at a flat chair, sit back and relax as the electromagnetic pulses strengthen muscle fibers and burn unwanted fat.

How does the Emsculpt Work?

The actual process is relatively painless. The device straps are placed over your stomach area (or other areas), and then a practitioner turns up the power. We started at lower power, and slowly up to 100% power. It felt strange at first—like a super-intense vibration that reaches your core, but slowly I got used to it and the intense vibration felt normal.

Emsculpt recommends that users do 4x 30-minute sessions 2-3 days apart for optimal results. The full effect can be seen after about 2 to 3 months, when the fat content has also been reduced.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Emsculpt?

This treatment is for anyone who is health-conscious and exercises but is looking for that extra definition. Unless you are pregnant or nursing, you must wait until after you have stopped breastfeeding to consider this treatment.

Does Cupping Therapy Work? Side Effects, Benefits & Types

Where did cupping come from?

Cupping is a therapy used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to remove stagnation and stimulate the flow of qi (chi). Qi is the free flow of vital energy circulating through the body and the world around us, if the qi is disrupted or disturbed, it can create stagnation (blockages) or imbalances in the body.

Cupping is a therapy used in traditional Chinese medicine.

What is cupping in a massage?

A therapeutic cupping treatment involves warming and placing cups, usually made of glass, on the skin. By warming the air within the cup, a vacuum is created, and when it is applied to the skin, the tissue is drawn up into the cup. This increases the blood flow, loosens the fascia or connective tissue, and is thought to stimulate healing. It is similar to the way deep tissue massage can be used to break up scar tissue and reduce pain. The cups are often placed on the back, neck, and shoulders or the site of pain. Cupping may cause temporary bruising and soreness, depending upon the degree of suction created by the vacuum and the level of internal stagnation. According to TCM, this would be a favorable outcome, suggesting the treatment has successfully removed toxins and stagnation. The cups are removed by lifting one edge, which allows air in and breaks the seal and vacuum.

What are the different types of cupping?

Different types of cupping are selected based on the treatment goals of the acupuncturist. There are also different types of cups. Most commonly, cups are made out of glass. However, a thousand years ago, cups were made of bamboo, clay, or animal horns. According to Ann Michelle Casco, L.Ac., a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and acupuncturist, the classic cupping technique is called ba guan zi, which is fire or dry cupping. This involves placing the cup over an ashi (painful area) point or an acupuncture point along an energy meridian. The cups are left in place anywhere from five to 20 minutes depending on the nature of the individual’s condition. A general course of treatment involves four to six sessions in intervals starting from three- to 10-day gaps.

17 Myths About Coronavirus Debunked

With coronavirus sweeping across the world, it comes as no surprise that people are seriously panicking. For the uninitiated, coronavirus causes a disease known as COVID-19. Its symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, and shortness of breath. The scientifically inaccurate information about coronavirus and how to prevent/cure it being circulated on social media and some incompetent news agencies is only making matters worse. To help you cut through the vast amount of misinformation, we have debunked a few of the popular myths about in this article.

Coronavirus is no more dangerous than the seasonal flu:

While it is true that the symptoms of coronavirus are no worse than those of seasonal flu, its mortality rate is higher. While the seasonal flu kills less than 1% of those infected, the WHO has confirmed that 3.4% of the reported COVID-19 patients have died globally. So, yes, any flu-like symptoms you experience at this point do need to be addressed a bit more seriously.

Coronavirus only kills older people, so younger people and kids do not need to worry.

The mortality rate of COVID-19 increases with age. It ranges between 0.2-0.4% between the ages of 0 to 49 and steadily increases thereon. It peaks at 14.8% among people who are 80+ years old. While it is true that older people and people with pre-existing health conditions are more vulnerable to this disease, anyone of any age can get infected. Moreover, it can cause some serious respiratory problems, regardless of your age or health condition.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage: The Game Changer For Your Skin

Lymphatic Drainage Massage: The Game Changer For Your Skin

Lymphatic drainage massage is among the most effective forms of massage. Because of its many health benefits, more and more people are encouraged to try it.

Improve Lymph circulation

The number one benefit of manual lymphatic drainage massage is it helps in promoting good circulation of lymphatic fluids around the body.

To better understand how lymphatic drainage massage could help your body, you must first understand what the lymphatic system is. The lymphatic system refers to the extensive network of vessels that run through the body. Through these vessels flow a fluid known as the lymph. The lymph is in turn filtered by the lymph nodes.

The main goal of lymphatic drainage massage is to assist the lymph with flowing freely throughout the body. With gentle massage, the therapist is able to “push” the lymphatic fluid and move it away from the affected area.

Improve Immunity

The lymphatic system is part of the immune system. With a stronger and healthier lymphatic system comes a better immunity.

An expert lymphatic massage therapist helps in improving the function of the lymphatic system. By encouraging a smoother, regular, and unobstructed flow of the lymph fluid, the lymphatic system can be more effective in transporting essential nutrients and antibodies.

Faster Recovery From Illness

As a response to infection, sometimes, the lymph nodes swell to fight off viruses and bacteria. Because of this swelling, lymph fluids have a hard time flowing freely throughout the vessels.

Lymphatic drainage massage is a life-saver. With expert massage techniques the lymph fluids are able to travel better and faster in the body even when an infection is present. Because of this, the body recovers faster as it gets more nutrients and infection-fighting cells in places where it needs them the most.

The Muse Brain-Sensing Headband Adds Go-To-Sleep Voice Guidance

By now, you might be familiar with the Muse S brain-sensing headband by Interaxon Inc., which measures your brain activity to help you wind down through meditation. The latest version released at CES 2020, the Muse S, is made of more comfortable fabric and offers new biofeedback-enhanced meditation to help promote better sleep habits and help you journey off to slumber.

About The Muse S Brain-sensing Headband

The headband, which is made of soft, breathable, flexible plush fabric, slips around your head, positioned over your forehead and right above your ears. Because of the flexible fabric, it can stretch to fit on a wider variety of head sizes. This also makes it easier to bring the headband with you on travels, stuffing it into a purse, backpack, or carry-on luggage. It measures real-time brainwave feedback via EEG, checks your heart rate, breathing, and your meditation posture.

Muse S Brain-sensing Headband
Muse Meditation Headband

But the coolest part: it works with new Go-to-Sleep Journeys that combine soothing voice guidance with biofeedback soundscapes that respond to your physiological state to offer a personalized bedtime soundtrack. Ideally, the next-generation headband would come with built-in headphones. For now, you need to wear a separate pair of headphones over-top it for the audio guidance. Once combined, the neurofeedback device and premium content offers guided meditations with responsive learning functionality to help you meditate.

Go-to-Sleep Journeys include ones like “Enchanted Forest” and “Underwater World” and include a calming voice from a meditation teacher. After just a few minutes lying down with the headband and headphones, despite being in a loud and busy room at the show, I found myself being instantly calmed by the soothing woman’s voice guiding me through my relaxation. Before it ended, I was almost drifting off to sleep! My mind was wandering away from the show and into my own little quiet and calming oasis.

Toothbrush Sanitizers Device

Sanitizers: Have you ever thought about how clean your toothbrush really is? A toothbrush is supposed to clean your teeth and gums, but it might not be able to do that effectively if it is covered with bacteria and germs. When you brush, a few bacteria are transferred from your mouth to the toothbrush. These bacteria build up on the brush head and cleaning with water cannot help get rid of them. When the toothbrush is used again, the bacteria are transferred back to the mouth, and the cycle keeps repeating itself.

However, there is one way to get rid of these bacteria and germs on your toothbrush – a toothbrush sanitizer.

What Is A Toothbrush Sanitizer?

A toothbrush sanitizer is a device that uses either UV light or heat and steam to kill bacteria and other living microorganisms on a toothbrush.

How Does A Toothbrush Sanitizer Work?

There are two types of toothbrush sanitizers: one that works with UV light and the other that works with steam and heat.

  • UV Light: This toothbrush sanitizer will have a UV bulb that emits ultraviolet light at a particular wavelength range to get rid of any germs, bacteria, or viruses living on your toothbrush.
  • Steam And Heat: This method does not use any chemicals. Steam and heat help sterilize and dry the toothbrush, which keeps it clean from any microorganisms.

Droplette | Needle-free, pain-free skincare delivery device

Derms agree that 90% of topicals, such as creams or serums, just sit on top of your skin; the actives never actually absorb into your skin. With Droplette, active ingredients are delivered at high velocity through a gentle micro-mist deep into the skin for improved effectiveness.

High potency, dermatologist-approved formulations.

Our serum capsules are packed with proven ingredients such as collagen, retinol, glycolic, and peptides to hydrate and nourish from within for visibly smoother, firmer, and younger-looking skin.

All Droplette serum capsules are cruelty-free, sulfate-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free, hypoallergenic, and vegan.

Droplette is a physics-powered device that transforms skincare ingredient serums into a powerful micro-mist, allowing for the delivery of skincare deep into your skin.

Sure, facial mists exist…but the particles are large and slow, so the droplets pool on the skin, just making it wet. Droplette is fundamentally different. With two unexpected mechanical parts bringing new physical forces to the table, Droplette is the tool that has been missing from your skincare routine.

Droplette is fundamentally different.

Our formulas have no penetration enhancers, but we use two key components inside our device to get actives deeper inside your skin

The first one is called a piezoelectric transducer, or a piezo. When we put electricity through it at a certain frequency, we can make the piezo vibrate. In our case, the piezo contains a steel mesh made of very small holes (about 4 microns in size). When the piezo vibrates, fluids go through this mesh and emerge as a mist – it is kind of like when you shake a sieve to sift flour: except that in our case, the “shaking” is due to the voltage and the “sifted flour” is the formulation being converted into an aerosol. The mist has droplets that are the same size as the mesh – so when they come out of the piezo, they’re about 4 microns in diameter.
