According to Ayurveda rainy season is also the time for aggravation of Pitta, which the functional energy of our body dominant in fire element, and is primarily responsible for metabolism and digestion of food. Digestion is weak during this time. Diseases caused by Pitta like hyperacidity, indigestion, skin disorders (boils, eczema, and rashes), hair loss, and infections are common in this season.

The Dosha – Ritu Connection

As we already know, our diet, activities and routine have a direct impact on our health. The environment we live in and the changing seasons also affect our health. The doshas keep changing according to the season. Hence it is important to make some changes in our diet and regimen according to the season. Following the respective Ritucharya(Ritu means. Season and Charya means moving or following) builds body’s immunity and checks the adverse impact of seasonal changes on body. The following table illustrates the dosha activity in each season.

[Vasanta Ritu (Spring Season)

Greeshma Ritu (Summer Season)

Varsha Ritu (Rainy Season)

Sarat Ritu (Autumn Season)

Hemanta Ritu (Winter Season)

Sisira ritu (late winter Season)]

It is the time when the humidity levels in the atmosphere are high, which also leads to lack of ojas, the vital fluid. Due to lack of oxygen in the air, often people complain breathlessness and weakness.

So if you really want to enjoy the monsoon season follow the following tips and be healthy.

• Eat light and easily digestible foods, cooked or steamed vegetables, pumpkin, steamed salad, fruits, moong dal, khichree, corn and oatmeal etc.
• Avoid heavy, hot, acidic, sour (pickles, chutneys, chilies, yogurt, curry, etc.) and salty food as it promotes water retention, indigestion, hyperacidity and bloating. Avoid deep fried foods, junk food and meat.
• Use ghee, olive oil, corn oil and sunflower oil for cooking as they are lighter. Avoid heavy oils like mustard oil, butter, peanut oil, and other heavy and heating oils.
• Do not indulge in heavy exercises like running, cycling etc. which increase Pitta (heat). Yoga, Dancing, walking, swimming, and stretching are good.
• Wash all green vegetables and fruits thoroughly before using them.
• Bitter taste neutralizes Pitta, so eat a lot of bitter vegetables like bitter gourd (karela), and bitter herbs like neem, fenugreek, and turmeric as it prevents infection.
• Massage with sesame oil at least twice a week also keeps you healthy during the rainy season. For some people sesame oil can be a little heating, so they can use coconut oil.
• Be careful while eating out and make sure you go to a place which is clean and hygienic. Completely avoid eating food which is exposed to atmosphere, like the ones sold by roadside vendors.

Avoid heating emotions like anger, irritation, jealousy and ego. Do not forget these will also increase Pitta and might be the cause of your eczema, heartburn or urinary tract infection.

I am sure you can apply the above tips in your daily routine and enjoy the monsoon without falling sick.

Wishing you health and happiness!

The kind of  best weight loss in Chandigarh possible. This allows fat to simply melt away . There is no down time, No side effects, No lumpiness. It’s focused ultrasound that targets fat cells. This offers the non-invasive fat blasting technology that uses acoustic waves to rupture fat cell membranes, allowing the liquefied fat to be excreted and metabolized naturally and safely by the body. It’s similar to the ultrasound technology used to blast away kidney stones. A circular motion of ultrasound probe prevents the possibility of targeting the same area again. We must say that lipo-emulsification is not used for weight loss but for contouring.

Patient with round tummies, love handles, buttocks, hips and saddlebags on thighs are ideal targets for the technology. Only areas with 1.5 cm or more of fat are suitable for treatment.

Patients usually just feel a warm, perhaps tingly sensation or may not feel anything as the transducer is gently smoothed across the targeted area. The procedure will feel familiar to anyone who has had an ultrasound scan during pregnancy or other medical conditions.

After treatment, patients can resume all normal activities but are instructed to eat a low-fat, low-carbohydrate diet for a few days because the body is already “mobilizing the fat.”

Each session for one area takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Number of sessions depends on the requirement and condition of the patients for each area treated.

Patients can reasonably expect a loss of upto 2 cm after one treatment session and 7 to 10 cm after five sessions. Each session costs about Rs.1500 to 2500 depending on the size of the area treated.

The best weight loss in Chandigarh would now be providing masses with a cheap technology for fat loss. This technology is available in all leading metros across globe with an average cost of 1000 USD.

Now, the question is the results & the side-effects over long period of time ?

Daily lots of people come up with this question while understanding this concept.

Especially, unmarried women are concerned with its affects on their future pregnancies. In the last 30 years, no conclusive evidence has shown that the levels of ultrasound used on humans are harmful.

Well the studies done by various doctors round the globe including one of Dr J. Moreno-Moraga,* T. Valero-Alte´ s, A. Mart?´nez Riquelme, M.I. Isarria-Marcosy, and J. Royo de la Torre Instituto Me´dico Laser, Madrid, Spain published in Lasers in Surgery and Medicine Volume 39 Issue 4, Pages 315 – 323 prove its safety .

Well the end result is Sonography , another low frequency ultrasound scan is used on pregnant women , not any X rays or Gamma radiations. So, guess the answers become clear here that Ultrasound is the safest & Best weight loss program.

And for all those looking for a easy fat loss options for your problem area. Here’s the best weight loss in Chandigarh.

Happy Losing Weight !!

Cheers

1. Comfort – A condition or feeling of pleasurable ease, well-being, and contentment. And..

2. Food – A substance you consume to produce energy, stimulate growth, and provide nourishment.

Now, if we put these two words together and people dream of fudge sundaes, methais, samossas, and turn to pot pie for pick-me-ups and fall prey to many other kinds of eating rituals. This is the power comfort foods hold. Unfortunately, it seems that most comfort foods console us with extra fat, calories and other ingredients that lack great nutritional value. But not all comfort foods are made this way. Here are some Comfort Foods that are actually good for you. Check ’em out.

Yogurt (with fruit)
The frozen variety tastes pretty similar to its ice cream counterpart, only with less fat. By adding fruit, you’re only adding more minerals and vitamins. Cool and soothing, this comfort food is a perfect snack, yet tastes sweet enough to ease your pain.

Fruit smoothie
This is the perfect cure for anyone with a sweet tooth. Amazingly, even if you don’t normally like fruit, you will probably still enjoy this blend of fruit, juice and yogurt. It only takes a few minutes to whip up in your blender and is a cool and refreshing treat during a hot, summer day.

Chicken noodle soup
Would you rather have anything else when you’re sick? This blend of noodles, chicken chunks and veggies in a steaming hot bowl will take you back to your childhood. Remember to buy a brand with low sodium, or make your own at home.

Oatmeal
Forget caffeine-charged coffee; oatmeal is all you need for a hot breakfast that will leave you energized for hours to come. Packed with complex carbs, oatmeal is easy to make and much healthier than a sugary cereal you might otherwise eat. A steaming bowl of oatmeal will make mornings your favorite part of the day. Toss in some fresh fruit to get that sweetness you crave.

Vegetable juice
Sometimes you need that kick. Vegetable juices have enough kick to play in soccer’s World Cup. A blend of many vegetables, including tomatoes, it’s great when you’re not very hungry or when you’re on the go.

As the name suggests Chronic Fatigue Syndrome suggests, this illness is accompanied by fatigue. However, it’s not the kinda fatigue we experience after a particularly busy day  or week, after sleepless night or after a single stressful event. It’s a severe, incapacitating fatigue that isn’t improved by bed rest and that may be worsened by physical or mental activity.

People with CFS function at a significantly lower level of activity then they were capable of prior to becoming ill. The illness results in a substantial reduction in occupational, personal or social activities

Symptoms of CFS:

The  fatigue of CFS is accompanied by characteristic symptoms lasting at least six months. These include

• Difficulty with memory & concentration
• Problems with sleep
• Persistent muscle pain
• Joint Pain( without redness & swelling)
• Headaches
• Tender Lymph Nodes
• Sore throat

Effects of CFS

CFS can be as disabling as multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease etc. It’s often cyclic i.e. there are periods of illness & relative well-being. Some experience partial remission during the course of illness but symptoms reoccur. This remission makes the person tempted to overdo activities when they’re better, which can actually cause faster & worse relapse.

Now all written above tells you that CFS is a evil, a lotza people around us suffer from this diseases. The good news is that it’s treatment can be done easily by a simple aromatherapy—Lavender Oil, in different forms. Now , ‘gyan’ on Lavender oil.

Lavender oil contains the natural alcohol linalool; ketones; esters; and aldehydes. Linalol provides lavender’s antiseptic properties by effectively killing bacteria and viruses. Linalol also helps healing skin irritations including burns, wounds, acne and sores. The aldehydes in lavender are responsible for its distinct aroma and soothing properties. The ketones in lavender effectively reduce pain and inflammation and help induce sleep. The esters in lavender reduce soreness and swelling, prevent muscle spasms, fight fungal infections and prevent scarring. The esters in lavender also help relieve tension, depression and hysteria, and they help regulate moods.

Lavender oil used in a holistic therapy session including a massage, essential oil bath & aroma steaming can be beneficial in treatment. Also, Lavender addition to daily bath can work wonders of CFS.

I could only see the treatment results in ‘real’, when we were able to treat a lady off CFS by these session. Her joy of having an undisturbed sleep at night & that extra sparkle in eye was the real thing.

So, allow yourself to have lavender aroma session whenever fatigue sets in …

Enjoy your sessions

• · Thin wrists? Wear some bracelets or bangles to show them off.
• · Great legs? Wear skirts to highlight those gorgeous legs.
• · High collar bones? Get some scoop-neck tops.
• · Tiny waist? Tuck in that shirt and belt your waist.
• Muscular arms and shoulders? Wear tanks or cap-sleeved tops to accentuate them.

You can use colors to your advantage, too. The single best use of color for a slimming effect is dressing from top to toe in one dark hue, such as navy, brown or black. Did you ever wonder why school buses are yellow? It’s because that color is so eye-catching. Dress up any body part you want to accentuate with brights like yellow, orange or hot pink while wearing dark colors on areas you want to draw the eye from; dark colors recede.

Do you have a nice, long neckline, but are your hips are wider than you’d like them to be? Pair a canary V-neck tee with dark blue jeans.

Proud of your shapely shoulders and lean legs but think you’re top heavy? Wear a high-necked black sleeveless shirt to show off your shoulders – while minimizing your chest – with a fuchsia skirt to accentuate your gorgeous legs.

OTHER TIPS FOR DRESSING SLIM:

• Opt for small patterns instead of larger ones and avoid wearing prints or patterns on top and bottom – that visually adds 4 to 5kilos!

• Get rid of anything you own that’s pleated – or at least relegate these clothes to  gardening/painting/fishing pants. We women – most of us – have the typical hourglass figure with hips larger than our waists. When wearing pleated pants to fit our waists, the pleats splay out over our hips, creating extra space and making our lower abdomens appear larger than they actually are.

• If you wear a jacket, make sure it’s fitted. A boxy jacket makes for a bulky you.
• An “oldie but goodie” slimming rule is dressing in vertical stripes. Thin, vertical lines on jackets, shirts, pants, dresses and skirts creates the illusion of a longer, leaner you.
• Beware the blue jeans. Wearing them high, accentuating your tiny waist, may be less than flattering from behind because the higher your wear them, the bigger your butt looks. Try to find a pair that sits relatively low on the waist – they don’t have to be indecently low – but the waistband should not be too far above the bellybutton. And skip the peg or tapered leg look. Instead go with a straight leg or boot cut, which will elongate the legs and keep your hips in proportion.

Take advantage of what you were given naturally and what you’ve worked so hard for at our NidSun Weight Loss & Spa. Dress to play it up. When you see your reflection, it’ll make you smile.

The ovaries are found in women, and consist of a pair of glands which are either side of the uterus (womb). The ovaries produce ova (eggs) which are released into the uterus one a month, during the menstrual cycle. Each ovum develops in the ovary from a small swelling called a follicle. Usually, several of these follicles develop each month, but only one will produce a full matured ovum.

The ovaries also produce a variety of hormones including the main female hormone, known as estrogen. The ovaries also produce small amounts of androgens, such as testosterone, which are sometimes called male hormones.

When a person has polycystic ovary syndrome the ovaries are affected in at least two of the three following ways:

1. Each month at least 12 follicles develop on the surface of the ovary. This is more than usually. The follicles are also known as cysts, and this how the disease gets its name: Poly (means many) Cystic (referring to the follicles) Ovary Syndrome. The cysts on the ovaries in PCOS are fluid sacs and are completely benign (they are not related to cancer).
2. Although there are many follicles, they do not mature fully so no ovum is released. When ovulation does not occur, the woman will not have a period. In some people this happens every month meaning that they never ovulate. In some women ovulation occurs sometimes, leading to irregular periods.
3. The balance of hormones released by the ovaries gets affected. Usually the ovaries produce higher levels of testosterone that normal.

About 25% of women, if their ovaries were scanned, would have lots of cysts on their ovaries. However only around 10% of women actually suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome, which is where they suffer from at least two of the three problems described above. The remaining women have lots of cysts but still ovulate regularly and do not have raised levels of testosterone. It also means that some women can suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome, if they have high testosterone levels and irregular ovulation, even if they do not have lots of cysts on their ovaries.

Symptoms of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

There are a number of symptoms associated with the syndrome:

• Absent or irregular periods
• Weight gain
• Acne (spotty skin)
• Hirsutism (excessive hair growth on the face and body)
• Difficulties getting pregnant
• Thinning of scalp hair

Not all people who suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome will have all of these symptoms. Different women have different symptoms, and in differing levels of severity. Also, individuals may find that they have different symptoms at different times in their life. Symptoms usually develop around the late teens and early twenties. For some women, however, the only sign that they have the condition is when they have difficulties when they come to have children.

Long-Term Problems Associated with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Women with this condition have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, or developing diabetes during pregnancy. Around 10% of women with polycystic ovary syndrome will at some point develop diabetes. Having diabetes then increases the risk of strokes and heart disease. As well as diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome also increases the risk of high cholesterol and possibly high blood pressure. These problems are caused by insulin resistance and obesity, both of which are associated with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Additionally, having infrequent periods may possibly increase the risk of developing cancer of the womb. The research in this area is ongoing, and if there is an increased risk it is likely to be very small.

A condition known as sleep apnoea is also more common in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Women who suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome can often develop depression or poor self esteem because of the effect of the other symptoms of the condition.

Causes of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

The actual cause of polycystic ovary syndrome is unknown; however current knowledge about the disease suggests that there are many factors that are important.

There is a tendency for polycystic ovary syndrome to be more common in people who have a close relative with the condition. The fact that the condition can run in families suggests that there is a genetic component to the disease.

There seems to be evidence linking polycystic ovary syndrome with higher than normal levels of a hormone known as insulin. Insulin is a hormone that controls blood sugar levels. A lot of women with polycystic ovary syndrome have a problem known as insulin resistance. If somebody has insulin resistance they need higher levels of insulin to be released to control their blood sugar. This means their body is exposed to higher amounts of insulin than other people. One of the effects of these high levels of insulin is that the ovaries make too much testosterone. The high levels of testosterone are responsible for some of the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome, including acne and excess hair.

If you are overweight, this can worsen the problem. This is because having excess body fat also makes insulin resistance worse, and so the levels of insulin in the body are increased even more.

Another hormone known as luteinising hormone is also raised in some women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Luteinising hormone also increases levels of testosterone in the body.

Diagnoses

Polycystic ovary syndrome cannot be diagnosed by a single test. Your doctor will consider your symptoms and carry out a range of tests to try and establish if your symptoms are being caused by polycystic ovary syndrome.

Tests for polycystic ovary syndrome include:

• Blood tests. These are used to measure levels of hormones, including testosterone and luteinising hormone. This can also help to rule out alternative hormone problems that might cause periods to stop.
• Ultrasound scans. This scan is done to look at the surface of the ovaries. This will show whether the ovaries are enlarged and polycystic.

As well as trying to diagnose polycystic ovary syndrome, we at NidSun may well carry out other tests to establish whether there might be another cause for any symptoms you have.

If the main problem is irregular or absent periods, or infertility, your doctor may test for other hormone levels. Increased levels of other hormones can also cause problems with ovulation and fertility.

A hormone called prolactin is released from an area of the brain called the anterior pituitary gland. Raised prolactin can cause headaches, problems with vision, and can also stop a woman from ovulating.

Thyroid stimulating hormone is also released from the anterior pituitary gland. If this hormone is raised it can be because of low levels of thyroid hormones in the body, which is a condition known as hypothyroidism. This problem can also cause reduced ovulation and infertility. There are a range of other symptoms of hypothyroidism, which your doctor may well ask you about.

If the main problem is to do with acne and excess body hair, this can be caused by high levels of male hormones, such as testosterone. There are other conditions that can cause high levels of these hormones, known as androgens, in women.

Occasionally, disorders or tumours of a part of the body known as the adrenal gland can lead to these problems. If this is the cause, the symptoms of excess hair and acne tend to develop very quickly. Additionally, women who had previously regular periods may find they stop suddenly, and there may also be problems with muscle weakness. If these conditions progress, there might be additional symptoms, such as reduction in breast size, deepening of the voice and enlargement of the clitoris. In these conditions, the levels of male hormones in the blood are much greater than in someone with polycystic ovary syndrome. If someone was thought to be suffering from an adrenal disorder or tumour, they would be referred for specialist treatment.

Treatments Available for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Treatment tends to be focused on relieving the symptoms of the condition.

Treating Excess Hair

There a range of treatments available for treating the excess hair growth associated with polycystic ovary syndrome:

• Hair removal treatments include electrolysis, laser treatment, hair removal creams, waxing and shaving. These treatments are only temporary and therefore need repeating at regular intervals. Laser treatment and electrolysis are not available on the NHS, and are quite expensive, however the results may last longer than with other methods.
• A cream can be prescribed which is rubbed onto affected areas. This cream is known as eflornithine, and there is some evidence to suggest it works on the area to stop unwanted hair growth. However, if treatment is stopped, the hair will grow back.
• Certain tablets can also help affect hair growth. These drugs work against testosterone, either by decreasing how much the body produces, or lessening the effect of testosterone in the body. The most common drugs used are:
• • The combined oral contraceptive pill. There a range of different combined oral contraceptive pills available but all of them will have some effect on excess hair growth.
  • There is an antitestosterone drug known as cyproterone acetate. This drug is available in combination with oestrogen in one make of contraceptive pill, known as Dianette.
  • If the combined oral contraceptive or Dianette are not suitable or they do not help, other antitestosterone drugs are also available.

These tablets usually take between 3 and 9 months to reach their maximum level of effect. If the tablets are stopped at any point then the hair will grow back.

Treating Acne

The treatment for acne is the same irrespective of the cause. Treatments for acne include antibiotic creams and facial washes, or antibiotic tablets. More severe acne may be treated by a skin specialist.

One of the common treatment for acne is the combined contraceptive pill. Because this treatment can also help relieve some of the other symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome, it is quite a common treatment option for people with the condition.

Treating Irregular or Absent Periods

There is a possible increased risk of cancer of the womb if you have no periods for an extended period of time. Therefore, some women take the contraceptive pill because it causes regular bleeds. An alternative option is to take another hormone, known as progesterone, each month. When this drug is taken for several days each month, it causes a monthly bleed. Some women may choose not to treat this problem, and some women may find that the treatment options are not suitable. Sometimes, your doctor may suggest that you have an ultrasound scan of your womb quite regularly. This is done to try and identify any problems as early as possible.

Treating Fertility Problems

Polycystic ovary syndrome can cause a person to have difficulties conceiving. If you suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome and are having problems getting pregnant you will usually be referred to a specialist. There are a range of treatment options to help with infertility. Treatments include:

• Clomifene. This is a drug which has a mild stimulating effect on the ovaries. It is taken as a tablet for five days each month.
• Gonadotrophin. This hormone stimulates the follicles in the ovary to fully develop. It is given as a daily injection.

There are also other treatments available. All of the treatments have different risks, side effects, and success rates. These may well be affected by the health of the individual. It is important to discuss treatment options with your doctor to establish which one is most appropriate for you. Your doctor will also explain your individual risk of problems and side effects from any treatment you choose to have.
Weight loss is also important to help with fertility issues. If you are obese then this can also have an impact on your fertility and make it much more difficult to conceive.

It is also important to remember that whilst polycystic ovary syndrome may lead to difficulties getting pregnant, it does not guarantee that you will not get pregnant through sexual intercourse. Your chances of getting pregnant are affected by how regularly you ovulate. With polycystic ovary syndrome you may not ovulate regularly, but you may still ovulate sometimes. If you want to be certain that you will not become pregnant it is important that you use contraception even if you have polycystic ovary syndrome.

Treating Insulin Resistance

A drug called metformin is commonly used as a treatment for people who suffer from type 2 diabetes. This drug acts by increasing how sensitive the body is to insulin. The body then requires less insulin, and so this drug can lead to a decrease in the levels of insulin in the body. As detailed earlier, it is thought that high levels of insulin in the body may well contribute to the symptoms and problems associated with polycystic ovary syndrome. In some cases of the condition, metformin is prescribed to help treat the underlying problem causing polycystic ovary syndrome. There are other newer drugs on the market that have the same effect on the body as metformin, and may also be prescribed for people with polycystic ovary syndrome. These drugs are known as insulin-sensitising drugs.

What Can I Do to Help

The most important thing a individual can do if they have polycystic ovary syndrome is to try to lose weight. Weight loss helps relieve symptoms by reducing the high levels of insulin in the body. Reducing insulin levels will lead to a reduction in testosterone and this will help to reduce the symptoms of the condition.

Weight loss also helps to reduce the risk of developing other conditions in later life such as diabetes and high cholesterol.

Weight loss can be difficult for people with polycystic ovary syndrome. It is best achieved by healthy eating and regular exercise with us at NidSun. If you are finding it difficult to lose weight, seek advice from your doctor at NidSun. They may also be able to refer you to a diet plan.

Even if you lose weight, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, and to give up smoking if you currently smoke.

What if I have worries about having PCOS?

If you have been told you have PCOS, you may feel frustrated or sad. You may also feel relieved that at last there is a reason and treatment for the problems you have been having, especially if you have had a hard time keeping a normal weight, or you have excess body hair, acne, or irregular periods. Having a diagnosis without an easy cure can be difficult. However, it is important for girls with PCOS to know they are not alone. your health care provider at NidSun who knows a lot about PCOS and is someone you feel comfortable talking to is very important. Keeping a positive attitude and working on a healthy lifestyle even when results seem to take a long time is very important, too! Many girls with PCOS tell us that talking with a counselor about their concerns can be very helpful.

What else do I need to know?

It is important to follow-up regularly with your health care provider at NidSun and make sure you take all the necessary lifestyle changes in your stride, lessen your chance of getting diabetes or other health problems. Because you have a slightly higher chance of developing diabetes, your health care provider at NidSun may suggest that you have your blood sugar tested once a year, or have a glucose challenge test every few years. Quitting smoking (or never starting) will also improve your overall health.

A massage involves manipulating the body with pressure, tension, vibrations, and motion. The target tissues for a massage include muscles, skin, tendons and ligaments, joints, connective tissues, and also lymphatic vessels.

Some of the main benefits of massage therapy in general are as follows

MUSCLES:

Relaxation of tensed muscles and connective tissue is the most commonly used benefit of massage therapy in sports medicine. Sports massage is given during warm-up and after exercise to relax and relieve pain and stiffness from muscular system for an easier and faster recovery. Strenuous exertion results in the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles. Massage helps to rid the muscles of this acid and thus imparts a feeling of freshness and vigor. At our NidSun spa, sports massage session takes care of your muscular ailments.

BLOOD CIRCULATION:

Other most important benefit of massage therapy is to improve blood and lymphatic circulation of our body. This helps to eliminate toxic substances and provide nutrients to needy muscles to recover and grow. The circulation of the blood in the part being massaged is speeded up, so that the part is supplied with more nutrients, and its healing powers are augmented. The accelerated circulation reduces swelling. There is an increase in the capacity of the blood to carry oxygen and to utilize it effectively.

SKIN:

Massage stimulates the glands of skin and makes it healthy and supple with a rich radiance. It also helps skin to remain hydrated using essential oils used by our experts at NidSun. Along with all these benifits the pores of the skin are opened up, thus helping of the elimination of toxins from the body through perspiration.

IMMUNOLOGICAL SYSTEM:

Stimulation of immunological system in many medical conditions is done through massage as a complimentary therapy along with our special immunity boosters provided by health experts at NidSun.

INJURY HEALING:

It increases cellular respiration and hence reducing recovery time of injury healing process. Even back pains and headache are treated with massage sessions.

MENTAL HEALTH:

It induces a state of mental relaxation by the release of a substance known as endorphins. It also helps in reducing food cravings in overweight people. Our clients get this benefit with a holistic massage session. Some of our clients using massage therapy have recovered from psychological conditions such as bulimia nervosa and depression which lead to weight gain problems and now leading a healthy and a very fruitful life.

WEIGHT LOSS:

Certain massage therapy techniques contribute to fat melting and amelioration of cellulite and skin appearance.

HEART:

Systematic massage will reduce the burden on the heart, and thus increase its efficiency.

NERVES:

Slow and gentle massage with light pressure, relieve tension of the nerves and soothe them. Vigorous massage stimulates lax nerves and increases their efficiency.

THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM:

Massaging the abdomen stimulates the digestive system, and promotes better elimination of wastes. The resistive powers of the body are strengthened due to the increase in the efficiency of the liver.

THE URINERAY SYSTEM:

Massaging activates the urinary system. As a result the process of elimination of toxic substances from the body through the urine is accelerated by the formation of greater quantities of urine. This happens due to increased blood being pooled into core of our body increasing urinary output. One of the most popular and beneficial massaging forms for the entire body is the Thai full body massage. This massage is carried out on the floor and is conducted over a span of one hour. Thai massage works on the vital energy lines present throughout the human body.

The advantages of Thai full body massage includes opening the blockades in the body, stimulation of body tissues and blood vessels, enhanced blood circulation, relief from pain and muscle tension, and retention of balance of nervous system. Thai full body massage is supposed to rejuvenate the body as well as the mind. As a Thai massage soothes the nerves, it has a positive effect on mind.

Full body massages extend a number of benefits to body and mind, and as such, a regular regimen of massages is recommended by our NidSun spa to reap proper benefits.
