Winter months are cold weather can be harsh on your skin. During the winter months the combination of lower temperatures and reduced humidity extracts moisture from your skin. Your skin needs moisture to stay hydrated and healthy. When moisture evaporates from the top layer of your skin your skin may look dryer, redder, flakier and older looking. As our skin is exposed the frosty wind this chips away at the outmost layer of the skin that serves a protective barrier, leaving our faces vulnerable. This barriers main function is to regulate the water balance in the skin, and when its compromised by the environment. Our bodies can naturally rebuild this barrier but as we age the process slows.

Colon Hydrotherapy and its clinical applications

By Donald J. Mantell, M.D. (Professional Member AANC)

Colon irrigation may help greatly in enhancing the ability to absorb many vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids.

Introduction

In our medical clinic we find colon irrigations are one of the most important treatment modalities available for a multitude of health problems. Many health authorities feel that disease begins in the colon. To be in optimum health the colon must be functioning normally. I believe that the colon is one of the most neglected areas by the medical establishment. One of the major indications for colon hydrotherapy is constipation. Before discussing the effects of constipation, I will first give a description of how a colon irrigation is carried out (some technical aspects about the colon irrigation machine) and what some of the benefits would be from such a treatment.
