Reduce Stress to Reduce Skin Problems & Breakouts

Ever wondered why your skin refuses to take on that healthy glow, despite the fact that you've been dutifully slapping skincare products on your face? It's probably because you've been stressed out!
Stress is profoundly hazardous to your skin.









Stress effects to your skin :

1) It weakens your skin's protective barrier, causing skin dryness, flaking and coarseness

2) It makes your skin more vulnerable to environmental pollutants and harmful bacteria, causing skin disorders and infections, including eczema, atopic dermatitis, warts and psoriasis.

3) It can cause extra sensitivity due to histamines and inflammatory neuropeptide release.

4) Constant frowning and pouting can leave permanent fine lines and deep wrinkles on your face.

5) It reduces skin cell growth and cell turnover, resulting in the build up of dead skin cells and cause your complexion to appear blotchy and dull

6) It causes overactive sebaceous glands, resulting in extreme skin oiliness, whiteheads, blackheads, pimples and acne.

7) It can constrict or dilate blood vessels, causing your face to appear pale or flushed.

8) Slows down wound healing leaving you with more significant scarring

Control Stress to Stop Yo-yo Dieting


Stress can cause an increase in appetite, due to the plummeting levels of hormone Leptin. It can also cause you to gain weight, even when you're eating the same amount of food! Because the stress hormone, Cortisol, can slow down your metabolism, and stimulate glucose production from proteins, which is then converted into fat in the body.

Fat cells in the abdominal area have more stress hormone receptors, and are more sensitive to Cortisol. Cortisol can increase the size of individual fat cells, by encouraging them to store fat.

So, if you're one of the many people who keeps piling on weight despite repeated attempts at dieting, you should know that dieting can actually cause stress, and repeatedly yo-yo dieting over the years can actually make you fatter, especially around the belly!

The Effects of Stress

In today's fast-paced and ever challenging world, almost everybody is affected by stress to some degree. In some cases, stress kills, and it does so in more ways than making one drive off the road!

Being stressed can actually kill you slowly and can affect your skin, your waistline, your health and your happiness!

Chronic stress can wear down the body, leading to many physical symptoms including headaches, muscle tension (stiff shoulders), upset stomach, elevated blood pressure, racing heart and chest tightness, tiredness, sleep disorders, skin breakouts, etc.

Research has also shown that stress can aggravate illnesses, including heart diseases and cancer!

The Effects of Stress

1) Belly fat and weight gain
2) Wrinkles, dull complexion, skin problems and breakouts
3) Hair loss and oily scalp
4) Sleeplessness and lack of quality sleep
5) Accelerated ageing
6) Lowered body defenses and cancer
7) High blood pressure and cardiovascular problems
8) Bad effects on love life and marriage
9) Digestive disorders and poor nutrient absorption
10) Memory problem and poor concentration

Energising The Body & Prolonging Youthfulness

The human body is 70% water, so the quality of our body water really matters! Clustered and energised water in the body ensures proper cell hydration, and makes you feel better, younger and more vigorous.

Since "dehydration" is linked to ailments ranging from acne, fuzzy memory, indigestion, arthritis, and obesity, to more serious conditions such as heart problems, hypertension, and more; proper rehydration can really improve your health.

When we're young, the trillions of young cells in our bodies are filled with small clustered and beautifully hexagonal-shaped water. These tiny clusters of water easily pass through cell membranes, carrying nutrients & oxygen into our cells, and waste & toxins out. This easy passage of water into and out of our cells is what keeps the cells clean, young and healthy.

However, as we age and after years of drinking "dead" water, coupled with stress and pollution, the water molecules in our body get distorted and enlarged, hampering their movement across cell membranes. This cause cells to be deprived of oxygen and nutrients, toxic wastes to accumulate in the cells. The cells can become toxic and "dehydrated" (even if they're surrounded by large clusters of "dead" water molecules). Metabolism plummets, and energy levels decline!

Negative Ions : Invigorate & Refresh The Mind & Body

Ever wondered why the air feels more invigorating and you feel fresher when you are at a waterfall or in the mountains? This is due to the abundance of "feel good" negative ions in the air.

Research has confirmed the beneficial effects of negative ions on living things - plants grow faster and healthier, animals are clamer and perform tasks better, and humans become less stress and more alert.

Negative ions have been found to facilitate the delivery of oxygen to cells, which stimulate bodily function and rejuvenation. They also increase the flow of oxygen to the brain; resulting in higher alertness, decreased drowsiness, and more mental energy. Studies have also shown that negative ions help to lift mood, alleviate depression and stimulate body's reticuloendothelial system : a group of defence cells in our bodies which marshal our resistance to disease.

Unfortunately, air-conditioning, exhaust fumes, cigarette smoke, fluorescent lighting, cellular phones, electrical and electronic equipment, TV and computer screens - all these adversely deplete negative ions from our surroundings and instead increase positive ions, which have been linked to muscle and joint aches, irritability, mood swings, headaches, insomnia, lethargy, lessened efficiency and general lack of health.

Germanium : Facilitates The Conductivity & Flow of Bio-Energy

Since 1858, in Lourdes, a small town in south-western france, many purportedly found that their pain, aches and illnesses miraculously disappeared after dipping in a spring, now known as the famous "Holy Spring of Lourdes". Scientist later attributed the spring's healing properties to its high content of Germanium.

One of the most fundamental properties of Germanium is its semi-conductivity, i.e. its ability to donate and receive electrons easily. many of Germanium's healing properties may be due to this intrinsic electronic quality. Coupled with its ability to neutralise the effects of positive ions that can impede the smooth flow of energy, Germanium is able to "correct" and facilitate the flow of the body's bio-energy, hence, increasing energy levels, and relieving pain and stiffness.

Scalar Energy : Strengthens & Restores Balance to the Body's Bio-Energy



Scalar Energy : First discovered by James Clerk Maxwell in the 19th century, and proven by Nikola Tesla, scalar energy existence is also acknowledged by Nobel Prize Winner, Albert Einstein.

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute, Germany, found that scalar energy unclumps and activates living cells.

Scalar energy also increases cellular energy for trillions of cells and overall body energy levels, and nullifies the harmful effects of man made frequencies. Together, this helps to balance and strengthen the body's bio-energy.

FIR : Improves Circulation & Energises Body Fluid

The total length of the blood vessels in the human body is 60,000km long! Imagine blood has to travel that distance every 1-2 minutes to deliver oxygen and nutrients to all the cells and to remove waste material from them.

Numerous studies have shown that FIR dilates capillary vessels, thus facilitating blood circulation for better oxygen and nutrient delivery, and for more effective toxin removal.

Some toxic gases, including carbon dioxide, or heavy metal like mercury and chlorine are easily trapped in large water clusters in the body. FIR causes the water molecules to vibrate, resulting in the breakdown of their cluster size.

Cosequently, trapped toxic waste gases and other toxic materials are released, and ultimately flushed out of the body. Together with the improved circulation, reduced water cluster size in the body will result in improve cellular function, better energy and vitality.

For people who suffer from aches and pains, FIR offers the welcome relief of improved flexibility and mobility, and the disappearance of pain and stiffness.

Improving Circulation & Balancing the Body's Bio-Energy Field

Recently I get to know about energy pendant from a friend. After much explanations, I decided to have one to try out. Before I let you all know the experience I have, I would like to reveal what could it be the convincing parts of his conversation. Let's look at these :

Our bodies are made of energy. To achieve and maintain vibrant health, we must protect our energy frequency and flow (or circulation) throughout the body.

The principles of energy medicine originate from quantum physics. Everything in the universe is made of energy. Like all matter, the human body is not just made up of physical and chemical structures, it also has subtle energy fields known as bio-energy.

We continuously radiate, absorb and conduct frequency waves of energy. Bio-energy is crucial to life and is sometimes called "the biofield", "vital energy", "aura", "Qi" (Chinese), "Mana" (Polynesian), "Barraka" (Islamic), "Ki" (Japanese), etc.

To attain and maintain vibrant health, we must protect the vital bio-energy flow throughout our body. It must be free-flowing, and in perfect vibration or frequency. Any disruption or imbalance to the bio-energy pathways or "vibrations" can lead to disharmony, ill health and diseases.

Unfortunately, many factors such as stress, pollution, increasing radiation from electromagnetic waves (mobile phone, radio, computer, television, microwave oven, wireless, etc), sedentary lifestyle, poor water quality and poor diet, can weaken body's bio-energy or disrupt its flow and circulation.



EMF from electrical wiring and gadgets, mobile phonesand high tension wires can disrupt the body's bio-energyto cause tiredness and other serious health consequences
