Psychologists, life coaches, and business consultants constantly remind us that sharing warm hugs and spontaneous laughter with friends and family will lessen the negative effects of stress on our mental and physical health.

In addition, research on the long-term effects of practicing yoga and meditation proved that meditative mindfulness leads to changes in the genetic makeup of these practitioners. Their bodies and minds become stronger. Their immune systems have greater resistance against invasive antigens.

Hugs and laughter are best shared with other people while gaining mastery over meditative mindfulness takes a long time to achieve.

When you need to get away from a stressful situation and release some of that internal pressure, consider listening to soothing sounds, such as the rhythmic splashes and shushes that match the ebb and flow of the ocean's waves by the beach.

Alternatively, listen to music that speaks of your deepest emotions, takes your mind to happier times in the past, and conjures visual memories of beautiful places you visited. Listen to your selected tracks through ear buds or headphones for clarity, noise filtering, and other digital enhancements to the audio output.

Skin Care Benefits of Using Sulfur Soap

In olden times, individuals had to take a dip in sulfur-rich hot springs located at a distance from an active volcano. Spas often appeared around these areas to provide patrons privacy and comfort while they visited the pools of heated water and sulfur.

The ten percent sulfur content in the soap has enough potency to effectively produce the same effective results as dipping your whole body in a pool of sulfur-rich hot water. Like in the ancient times, use sulfur soaps to reme...

How Do You Treat Scalp Acne and Scalp Dermatitis?

A case of Seborrhoeic Dermatitis on the back of the head (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) If you suffer from pimples on the scalp, then it's important to find a good scalp acne treatment. They're ugly, painful, and irritating. We can't see them ourselves so we pick them often by scratching our scalp before knowing they're there. Scalp wounds tend to bleed and this can make the spots visible, especially if your hair is thinning, fine or very short. Most acne on the scalp has the same cause as acne on the face, that is, overproduction of sebum leading to blockages of hair follicles, which often become infected. Inflammation can be caused by a condition called seborrheic dermatitis , and this, together with oily skin, is what you have to go along with scalp acne. What happens is the scalp will be red and itchy and the skin will flake off as dandruff. Associated with the condition of seborrheic dermatitis and more serious cases is yeast and it's someti...

A brief vacation

I have just got back from UP Diliman for a week of respite. I had training for trainers at UP SoLaIR (School of Labor and Industrial Relations). It was a working vacation. At least I had time to slow down and not think of work for a few days. It was good! Really felt good to be taken cared of by the University Hotel staff.
