What the Peat Bog People Can Tell Us About Beauty
Over the past centuries, remains of many hundreds of people--
men, women, and children--have come to light in peat bogs in
northwestern Europe, especially in Ireland, Great Britain, the
Netherlands, northern Germany, and Denmark. Peatlands are most
extensive in northern regions. They develop where drainage of
water is blocked, precipitation is retained, and decomposition
of organic matter is slowed. Because of their highly acidic
nature, wetness, low temperature, and absence of oxygen,
northern bogs have become a repository of past life.
The bog people are amazingly well-preserved with fingernails,
hair, and teeth in excellent condition. How is this possible
when the dates range from 8000 B.C. to the early medieval times?
The peat (Moor Peat) contained in the bogs has amazing
preserving properties which contribute to its ability to both
combat aging and enhance health. Peat has excellent moisture-
retaining qualities which improves skin elasticity.
When peat is applied to the skin, penetrates partially between
the epidermis cells of the skin. A, producing an exchange
reaction of ions is produced when the binding process with
albumin in the skin occurs. The harmful positive ions in the
skin tissues are exchanged for the rejuvenating negative ions in
the moor peat. These particles are captured by the blood vessels
in the system, carried throughout the body to help healing.
The rejuvenating benefits can be attributed to the abundance of
essential oils, fatty acids and lipoids. These penetrate into
the skin re-establishing the skin's natural pH balance. When you
apply the moor peat to your skin, the increased flow of blood to
the skin can be seen by the flush of color seen on the skin when
the peat is rinsed off. This characteristic of Moor Peat makes
it most effective as an addition to any anti-aging and beauty
treatment for the skin.
The soluble organic and inorganic active ingredients leave the
skin detoxified, purified, and toned. It's naturally
hypoallergenic and powerful and yet gentle.
The anti-inflammatory, bactericidal astringent and its
bioavailability properties of Moor Peat make it an excellent
skin treatment both for healthy and problem skin.
It has been found to be helpful in treating acne, eczema,
psoriasis, burns, scars, stretch marks, and cellulite.
For Cellulite, an inflammation of the subcutaneous tissues
caused by a build up of toxins, poor blood circulation and fluid
retention due to weak lymphatic flow, Moor Peat improves both
the inflammation and its causes, making it an excellent
treatment for cellulite and an aid to weight loss.
In fine spas Moor Peat (or Moor Mud) is regularly used as bath,
body wrap, and facial treatments. Cost for these treatments can
be as high as $150 for a body wrap, $100 for a bath, and $85 for
a mud mask or facial mask. These spa treatments can be done
successfully at home for fraction of the cost by purchasing fine
quality Moor Peat from a quality supplier such as Moor Mud Baths

The Health Benefits of Mangosteen Juice
Fruits and vegetables have always been the key to a healthy diet; add exercise to it and your body will reward you with tremendous energy and glowing skin. This is no secret, just a fact. While some of us love our vegetables and fruits, some can hardly swallow a handful a week. Eating smart helps a great deal in promoting good health.

The mangosteen is a fruit that is filled with all the essential vitamins and minerals needed to provide the required dose and more when consumed regularly.
Born in the tropical land of Southeast Asia many centuries ago, the mangosteen tree requires warm temperatures and abundant rains to grow. Its growth is slow, and it reaches its peak in about 10 years but by then it is producing huge quantities of mangosteen fruit annually. The health benefits from mangosteen juice is quicker absorbed by the body rather than eating fresh or dried.

Preparing our body with natural ingredients found in nature without any preservatives or additives is the only way to ensure a long, healthy and happy life. Consume fresh fruits and vegetables as often as possible to maintain yourself in great health and spirits.

Chai Tea
Although used for over 5000 years, Chai Tea is only recently becoming a popular addition to the wellness spa experience. More and more spas and wellness centers are offering Chai Tea to their guests as a post treatment treat and although it tastes so beautifully sweet and creamy, it fortunately is an indulgence that can benefit your health as well.
Chai, pronounced "Tie", is the generic word for tea in many parts of the world. Chai tea is however very different to your usual types of tea, and can be more easily compared to as a form of latte. The types of Chai and the spices used vary depending on the recipe, but usually consist of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, pepper and even nutmeg. These spices are combined with either sugar or honey, milk or milk substitutes and black tea. Sipped hot or cold, but preferably hot for a fuller flavor, Chai has been savored for centuries in numerous parts of the world.
Although this rich traditional tea's health benefits are debatable, health benefits have been demonstrated by people drinking it on a consistent basis. Chai tea's using substitutes and not using fresh ingredients, could affect the usual benefits that the tea would usually provide. For example, using refined sugar instead of honey and adding preservatives to the ingredients.
Primarily for relaxation, stress release and as a digestion aid, a cup of soothing Chai is always welcome. The spices are the Chai's secret, providing the following benefits: the tea leaves provide the antioxidants which aid in preventing heart disease and sometimes cancer; ginger helps prevent colds and flu's, soothes throats and improves digestion; cloves also aid with colds and flu's as well as revitalizing the body; cinnamon assists in enhancing the other spice benefits and cardamom aids in stimulating the mind. Caffeine sensitive individuals as well as people suffering from ulcers and heartburn should however avoid Chai, due to the caffeine that is present in the drink.

Adding more of one spice than another can change the flavor of your Chai tea considerably. There are numerous recipes online which you can try, however after some practice you may want to make some additional changes to the recipe until you are completely happy with the taste. Or simply, visit a spa in your area that serves Chai Tea, and enjoy a day having your favorite treatment with your favorite tea.

Wellness Achieved Through Meditation
The process of mediation used to calm your mind and lead to inner-peace is centuries old. The driving force behind meditation is that if one can attain a peaceful mind, they will be free from anxiety, worries and negative forces. Ideally, they will be in complete control of their mind - controlling thoughts, feelings and anxieties.
One of the most important aspects of meditation is breathing. For beginners, control and focus on breathing does not come easy. Many let their minds wander to things that preoccupy their days and lose focus. Mastering your breathing pattern is the first step towards mental wellness as it helps lay the groundwork for a calm mind.
A good seat and comfortable posture are ideal for meditation. Certain aspects to aim for include: straight (but not tense) back, head floating naturally above the shoulders, chin turned slightly down and pelvis tilted slightly forward. Most meditate while sitting down; sitting cross-legged is the most popular positioning. If you cannot get comfortable with these positions, try shifting around, but the main keys are to be relaxed with a straight back.
Many will often try to meditate while lying down. Be wary of this as it is easy to fall asleep. Though that can be relaxing in its own right, it does nothing in the process of bringing inner peace as you will find yourself waking up to the same mental disarray.
Meditation is a great way to promote personal wellness. Stress and anxiety derive from thoughts (usually negative) racing through the mind, destroying any sense of relaxation of contentment. Take time to meditate whenever you can. It doesn’t need to be everyday, or for long periods at a time. But every chance you get to clear your thoughts and focus on your inner-self will clear your goals and ambitions and put you on your way towards mental wellness.
