What helps with circulatory problems

When the circulation causes problems, many people suffer from it. They feel tired and limp, do not get going in the morning. Every fourth adult in Germany even has to deal with morbid vertigo

PICTURE

Furthermore, around five million Germans have low blood pressure. But no reason to head in the sand. Numerous natural helpers (such as hawthorn) support normal blood pressure, and in particular, people with symptoms of Schwinis and blackness in mind can benefit. And you can be active by changing your own behavior, for example, to strengthen your circulation

Become active with our tips to reduce your dizziness and boost the microcirculation in the inner ear. Because here is often the cause of a sense of balance gone out of joint

How is dizziness

Dizziness is the most common nervous system symptom after headache. The reasons for this lie in the false communication between brain and inner ear

Because here lies the center of the sense of balance. The inner ear gives feedback to the brain about location and acceleration. However, if the sensory organs pass on contradictory information to your brain - the eye provides information other than the ear - your brain is irritated and dizziness is the result. Alternatively, dizziness can occur if the brain can not process the incoming signals properly. Often the triggers are also disorders or irritations of the sense of balance

But there are many other common causes of dizziness. In general, low blood pressure counts among them, which is particularly prevalent in women and the elderly. Also, iron deficiency or poor circulation can be responsible for it. External factors include weather sensitivity, stress or smoking

When does circulatory weakness appear

There are situations that are quite typical of the circulation causing problems. For example, when you get up too fast or bend over. Even after long periods of sitting or standing, such as long car, bus and train rides or long-haul flights. Standing and sedentary occupations such as salesmen or office workers are generally more vulnerable to circulatory failure

In hot and humid weather, a hair dryer or under hot temperatures, the cycle can sometimes be exhausted

In general, a lack of exercise, previous heavy weight loss or a compromised condition can be the cause of a poor condition of your circulation, such as during menstruation or if you have, for example, too little drunk or slept. Stress can also affect your circulation

What to do in acute dizzy spells

This way, your blood pressure can be quickly stabilized again in the acute case: It is best to first sit down, eat something salty and drink enough, if possible, half a liter of water within a short time. Even a cold washcloth, which is placed on the neck, can help the blood pressure on the jumps again, make the vessels closer and thus stimulate the blood circulation

Herbal drops of ginger, rosemary, gingko and hawthorn, for example, can support the circulatory functions. In acute situations just drip on a sugar cube and suck. Appropriate drops can also be taken preventively. In general, it is also crucial that you permanently take care of a healthy cardiovascular system

Exercise strengthens circulation

Not only your muscles and metabolism benefit from regular exercise, your circulation is also positively influenced. If you move several times a week, you strengthen your heart and promote a healthy blood circulation

Moderate and longer intervals of motion over 30 minutes are best. In general, your blood circulation stabilizes a healthy lifestyle

These include a balanced diet, adequate daily intake, weight control and abstinence from nicotine and alcohol

Power of nature in dizziness

There are many traditional remedies that have been used for dizziness and circulatory problems ever since. This includes rosemary, because it improves blood circulation and stimulates circulation. Hawthorn supports healthy blood pressure and Ginkgo supports blood circulation. Mate leaves help strengthen the body with stimulating and invigorating properties. Ginger counteracts dizziness with stimulating and invigorating effects

Cupping: the gentle cupping massage

Cupping is often referred to as a new variant of the well-known cupping in the relevant literature guide. But the differences to what is commonly thought of as cupping are far-reaching

What is cupping

The term cupping is not a generally accepted definition. Here he refers to a new form of a special type of massage, which is also known as cupping or cupping massage. It is supposed to have a relaxing and pain-relieving effect by stimulating the fascia: cupping cups fitted with negative pressure - when cupping it is silicone bells (cups) - are pushed or pulled over the skin

What are fascia

The soft connective tissue of the fascia envelops the muscles and gives stability. In the normal state, it adapts to the physical movements and remains elastic. However, if the fasciae are injured, they matt and stick together, which can lead to tension, restricted mobility and muscle pain

The targeted loosening of the fascia by massages of the affected body regions should bring back the mobility. A common method for this is the use of Faszienrollen, Faszienrollern or Fascia balls, which is often perceived as unpleasant. Cupping is expected to produce similar results with less effort

How does Cupping work

* The negative pressure created in the cups is intended to release tension, promote blood circulation, stimulate the lymphatic flow and thus provide relief in the case of discomfort in a wide variety of body regions. Modern silicone cups have the advantage that this negative pressure can be regulated very easily: the more you squeeze the silicone, the stronger the negative pressure

Whether back, legs or face - the cups are available in different sizes and can therefore be used directly on areas affected by tension. While smaller cups are best for the neck or face, larger ones are more suitable for the back or legs

What does Cupping help with

There are no scientific studies on cupping. The relevant literature on counseling reports good experiences with cupping with tension on the back, stress-related tension or as a gentle facial massage

The possibilities are manifold. Incidentally, the English term "facial cupping" or the more precise "face-cupping" refers to cosmetic applications that are supposed to reduce cellulite or wrinkles

What is the difference between cupping and cupping

The ancient healing method of cupping was already used by the ancient Greeks and Egyptians in antiquity and is also used for example in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to this day

One distinguishes the "bloody" and the "dry" cupping. In bloody cupping, a cupping glass was (and is) placed on a scored skin site with negative pressure, pulling the blood out of the injured area

Cupping - better than his reputation

In the meantime, cupping has fallen into disrepute. Cupping has even entered the general idiom as a negative idiom, meaning that someone has been over-subscribed. This is probably because most people think of cupping as "bloody cupping"

Cupping, on the other hand, is an advanced form of "dry" cupping - especially cupping massage or cupping massage - for which cupping heads are placed on intact body parts

In classic cupping glass, they are heated before setting; when they cool, it creates a negative pressure, the skin is pulled upwards, the underlying tissue stretched

What's new about Cupping

When cupping, the cupping heads are made of silicone and are simply compressed by hand before being placed on the skin. The necessary negative pressure thus arises purely mechanically instead of heat, which on the one hand means a much simpler application and on the other hand can feel much more pleasant

Through the practical silicone cups, the massages can be carried out without much effort. The "trick", however, is the combination of this new form of dry cupping or cupping massage with relaxing massage techniques and findings on fascia training, a trend that is still very much in the pursuit of sports

3 tips for well-groomed feet

They bring us everywhere and are far too often neglected by us: our feet. They are exposed by the daily walking and standing great stress. In order to still get beautiful and well-groomed feet, you should heed some tips and thus declare unkempt toenails, too much calluses and unpleasant "cheese feet" the fight.

Strong and well-groomed toenails

There are many nerves and blood vessels in the toe ends. That is why they are particularly sensitive and are protected by the toenails. A healthy toenail grows between 0.5 and 1 millimeter a week, often slower in the elderly. The nail itself is "dead tissue", so it can be cut off painlessly if it gets too long.

A lack of mineral supply can make the toenails soft or even brittle. As a result, they can no longer perform their protective function as well. In addition, they tend to splinter unpleasant or break off.

toenails

Valuable nutrients for your toenails

Silicon plays an important role in cell metabolism and cell renewal. This can help with brittle toenails. In addition, the trace elements zinc and selenium can contribute to healthy nails.

Remove excess cornea

The outermost layer of skin is called the cornea and fulfills important protective functions for the underlying skin layers. Basically, cornea is so highly desirable. Especially on the feet but it can lead to increased corneal formation. On the heels and sole, the feet have to endure a lot of friction through our shoes. This stimulates the appearance of the cornea, especially if the shoes do not fit perfectly.

Too much callus on the feet is often perceived as unpleasant and unpleasant. In addition, painful cracks can form - cracks in the cornea, which can reach into the deeper layers of the skin. With a natural fruit acid complex and antibacterial microsilver you can reduce the cornea and also reduce the formation of new cornea

Sweat smell and cheese feet

There are many sweat glands on the feet that produce up to 250 milliliters of sweat per day. This sweat is odorless, but is metabolized by bacteria, which then provide unpleasant foot odor. These bacteria are found in a warm, humid environment, as found in sweaty feet in the shoes, particularly well.

smelly feet

Therefore, breathable shoes are an important help against so-called cheese feet. As often as possible you should take your shoes off to air your feet.

Of course, you should also change your socks daily and wash your feet regularly.

On the other hand, it is not a good idea to wear closed shoes without socks: this makes it easier for the bacteria and the smell of sweat to settle in the shoes.

Sage against sweating and cheese feet

Sage is known in natural medicine as a natural helper against sweating and sweat odor. It ensures that the sweat glands contract both internally and externally. So they can secrete less sweat.

In addition, sage has antibacterial properties and can help reduce the number of odor-causing bacteria

Tips for hands and nails

Whether a strong handshake or gentle stroking, whether virtuoso playing on the piano or safe access when climbing: Our hands are almost constantly in use. The usual handshake on greeting also makes it our business card, because well-groomed hands make the counterpart a good impression. But to ensure that your hands always look good despite the many burdens of everyday life, regular hand care is a must. With our tips, your hands will stay young and silky for a long time.

Wash hands properly

Our hands come in contact with many pollutants and bacteria in the course of a day. That is why it is important to wash your hands regularly and thoroughly. This keeps your hands visually clean and prevents illnesses

Take your time washing your hands (WHO recommendation: 20 seconds) and do not forget the fingertips and the spaces between your fingers. Too hot water dries out the skin, while cold water cleans worse. Therefore lukewarm to warm water is recommended for your hand wash. Soap is of course indispensable here

Hand cream: moisturizing and nourishing cosmetics for dry hands

The skin of our hands is comparatively thin. Subcutaneous fatty tissue and sebaceous glands are hardly found on the hands. As a result, hands tend to dry, sometimes cracked skin

Even the frequent hand washing contributes to dry hands, since just with too hot water and the protective layer of moisture is washed off. Therefore, you should support your hands with cosmetics or more precisely with a nourishing hand cream. It provides the hands with additional moisture and can also smooth and soothe chapped skin. It is important that the hand cream feeds very quickly. So you can quickly use your hands again, without leaving greasy marks everywhere

However, you should not overdo it with the cream: if too much moisture is supplied from outside, the skin of the hands shuts down their sebum production. So the hands are already very dry shortly after creaming. In normal weather, in most cases, creaming three times a day is enough

Save your hands

An important step towards well-groomed hands is the avoidance of unnecessary burdens. Especially when cleaning and rinsing the hands are heavily challenged: they keep coming into contact with hot water and aggressive cleaning agents

Save your hands

Both dry out the hands and can even lead to chapped skin. Wear gloves while doing housework. Your hands will thank you

Also, the frequent change between cold and warm air does not do the hands well. Especially in winter, the contrast between cold outside temperatures and heated rooms can clog them up. In addition, the sebaceous glands of the skin retract their production in cold weather. That's why your hands need special attention in the cold season. Keep your hands warm with gloves when you are going out for long periods of time and treat yourself with extra care

Support firm nails

Even firm, well-groomed fingernails are an important part of beautiful hands. But if you follow our tips for well-groomed hands, you also do your nails a great favor: Wear gloves while cleaning and rinsing and avoid washing your hands with hot water

Even the permanent use of nail polish does not do your nails well. Painted nails look nice, but this form of cosmetics leaves little air through. The subsequent use of nail polish remover can also be a burden. So that your nails do not become soft and brittle, you should treat them to regular breaks of the nail polish

nails

Nutrients for firm nails

Fingernails and toenails renew themselves regularly and are dependent on different nutrients. Due to its role in cell metabolism and cell renewal, silicon is of particular importance here. Zinc and selenium also make an important contribution

Care from the outside for fingernails and cuticles

The cuticle protects your sensitive nail bed from bacteria and fungal infections. However, if it dries out, unpleasant and painful cracks may form. But with silicon and nourishing oils you can support dry cuticles and brittle nails from the outside. To promote shine and firmness of the nails and protect the skin around the nail from dehydration

What helps with dark circles? Tips for a bright look

"I look you in the eyes, little one!" Even Humphrey Bogart in the movie Casablanca knew how attractive beautiful eyes and a bright look are. Outside the cinema too, the eye area is an important measure of attractiveness. Dark circles can be extremely disturbing here. But with a few tips, these problems can be significantly reduced

How do you create dark circles

The fact that dark margins are so easily visible under the eyes is due to the particularly thin skin inthis area. There are many blood vessels here but little subcutaneous fat

As a result, the vessels are quickly under the skin, if the circulation does not work optimally: already the dark circles are there

What causes dark circles

causes

In most cases, dark circles are the symptom of a disease, usually it is only a cosmetic problem. Often our circumstances contribute to the formation of dark circles. The possible reasons are extremely diverse, for example

lack of sleep

Stimulants such as alcohol and nicotine

stress

lack of exercise

nutrient deficiency

dehydration

dry heating air in autumn and in winter

Eyestrain, e.g. through long screen work

environmental toxins

allergies

hyperpigmentation

Sometimes the circumstances of life are not responsible for the development of dark circles. Brown dark circles may have a genetic cause called hyperpigmentation. Here too much melanin is produced in the eye area

This dye is responsible for the dark coloring of the skin. When there is a surplus around the eyes, this area is darker than the rest of the skin

What helps with dark circles

Of course, if you have problems with dark circles, you should first of all check the causes mentioned above: are you sleeping enough? Do you exercise regularly and is your supply of nutrients and fluids sufficient? In addition, with some tips and tricks you can care for your eye area and reduce dark circles

sleep

Cooling dark circles improves blood circulation in this area. This reduces the shadows under the eyes. What you cool with is up to you. The "classics" of eye cooling include chilled spoons, cucumber slices or cold tea bags. Be careful not to over-cool as this could damage the skin

It is not only important how much you sleep: the sleeping position and the temperature in the bedroom also influence the formation of dark circles. The best way to sleep is to lie on your back with a slightly raised head. Thus, blood and lymph fluid can always drain well from the eye area. The temperature in the bedroom should not be too warm: 16 to 18 degrees are enough

Eye care cosmetics are an important aid to the delicate eye area. So the area around the eyes is always well supplied with nutrients and moisture. Make sure to pat the cream gently, preferably with the ring fingers. Powerful rubbing would only stretch the thin skin unnecessarily and possibly increase existing problems

Concealer can help conceal eye shadows. Here we recommend a color that is slightly lighter than your own skin tone. In particularly stubborn cases, you can first use a concealer in the complementary color to the color of the dark circles, also known as Color Corrector. Then use the skin-colored concealer

makeup

Dietary supplements can promote microcirculation in the smallest vessels of the eye area. This ensures the good supply of nutrients and oxygen, and unwanted deposits can be removed more easily. Dark circles can be significantly reduced in this way and the way to a radiant-beautiful view is free

Reduce dark circles with grape seed and blueberry extract

Grapes and blueberries are two important natural helpers for the blood vessels in the eye area and thus for the handling of dark circles. The grape seed extract contains a lot of OPC (oligomeric proanthocyanidins). This substance has many beneficial properties for the human body. In particular, it affects the health of the skin vessels

Blueberries owe their blue color to the anthocyanins they contain. These dyes can protect the health of the smallest vessels and the elasticity of the veins from the harmful effects of free radicals. Also, the contained vitamin C is an important antioxidant that can neutralize free radicals

Medically treat dark circles

Since dark circles are rarely a sign of disease, you usually do not need to see a doctor. Only when dark circles are just one of several sudden symptoms, a doctor's visit is advisable

treatment

Even if you never have problems with eye shadows and the known, harmless causes are out of the question, the clarification with the doctor could be recommended. By treating the responsible disease, the doctor can also get the dark circles under control

On request, persistent dark circles can be treated medically even if they have no pathological cause. Depending on the situation, dark circles with autologous fat or hyaluronic acid can be injected into a beauty clinic, or the affected areas can be laser-treated. However, given the burden on the body of such procedures and the associated costs, they are more likely to be considered a last resort
