From Turkish rosewater to turmeric from India, beauty treatments that can be traced back over the centuries are growing in popularity once more.
have also found that a short 30-minute sauna session post-exercise can significantly lower blood pressure.The latest use of heat, fast gaining popularity in the wellness industry, is the infra-red sauna. The primary difference from the traditional sauna is using infra-red heat to target specific areas of the body, heating both the skin and muscles, which can lead to further release of tension.
“Turmeric is a good immune booster, displaying powerful antioxidant properties some five to eight times more potent that vitamins C and E. It’s even strong enough to quench the hydroxyl radical, which is considered to be the most reactive oxidant responsible for damage to the body,” explains Shabir Daya, co-founder and in-house pharmacist at Victoria Health.
Daya adds that turmeric has long-been recognised for its healing properties. “Turmeric has been used for centuries to treat wounds and infections. In fact, Johnson & Johnson used turmeric in plasters to heal scrapes and cuts faster.” And modern research is revealing further potency, too. “Current scientific research shows that turmeric inhibits pathogenic bacteria, viruses and fungi including many candida species,” says Daya.
Acupuncture is now being used in skin treatments too, targeting conditions such as eczema, rosacea and psoriasis, as well as being used cosmetically to improve the complexion. Known as fotofacial acupuncture, needles are inserted below the epidermis, stimulating circulation and skin cell renewal. This method can increase hydration levels and elasticity of the skin, often resulting in instantly visible improvement in skin condition.
