Dr. Schrammek Green Peel: The Fountain Of Youth?‏

Posted on August 23, 2010 by claudine

Having worked at Body Naturals for the past 16 years, I have seen and experienced firsthand many different treatments. While many of the treatments available here are efficacious and superb, there is one particular treatment that seems to be the panacea of many beauty concerns. The Green Peel by Dr. Christine Schrammek-Drusio is a purely plant based peel that contains neither acids nor chemicals. It has been used successfully for the past 50 years in the treatment of many skin complaints such as acne, scarring, loss of elasticity, stretch marks, pigmentation problems, premature aging, fine lines, wrinkles, and large pores.

Having suffered from acne through much of my teens and twenties, I was left with both scarring and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation. After having my first peel, I was astonished at my result. Not only did the scarring improve, but the brown spots were virtually gone. I have had many Green Peels since then and the results never seem to disappoint. Now in my forties, I have noticed a loss in firmness and decided to have another treatment last week. Tired and dull skin was replaced by a newfound firmness and luminosity. The glow and dewiness of youth had returned.

I strongly recommend the Green Peel. The results are truly amazing. Please call us at (631)351-6166 if you have any questions or would like to experience the turning back of the clock.

What is Aromatherapy?

Posted on July 28, 2010 by georgeann

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is a type of health and beauty care in which aromatic essential oils of all kinds are used as active ingredients in various treatments.

The essential oils can be used

  • as basic ingredients in a massage cream or oil (great for a body or facial massage), or
  • to vaporize the skin as a fine mist or steam, or even
  • to prepare a whirlpool bath or hot tub (in this case you just pour the essential oils into your bath)

There are really two functions in aromatherapy:

  1. the function of the aromatic principals of the oil as absorbed into the body through the olfactory membrane and cells and
  2. the calming or stimulating effects of the aromatic oils.

The first aromatherapists were very early physicians who employed aromatic oils in their practice; for example, during the 12th dynasty in Egypt when the use of scented unguents was popular. The early Greeks and Romans used essential oils in their steaming baths and aromatherapy massages.

Today, when you have a cold or clogged nose, and you put a medicated inhaler to your nose and draw the vapors into the olfactory cells, you are utilizing a modern application of aromatherapy. Certain essential oils are contained in the inhaler that give relief to the swollen membranes. The same is true when you use a home vaporizer to help congestion and a sore throat. The old herbal remedy of a chest rub is a form of aromatherapy at work as is the mustard plaster popular in early America.

From biblical references we are aware that aromatherapy was prevalent in ancient times. In the Aquarian Gospel (74:3), the healing of the sick was brought by Jesus not only with the ‘laying on of hands,’ but with healing pools (bath) and annointing with oil. “Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment” (John 12:3)

A Great Skin Cleanser for Acne: Lavation’s Pore Clearing Cleanser for Mild to Moderate Acne Prone Skin

Posted on July 25, 2010 by georgeann

Alchemiè Lavation Skin Care Products include a Pore Clearing Cleanser for Mild to Moderate Acne Prone Skin. We at Body Naturals, Ltd of the Village of Huntington on Long Island are particularly pleased with how this skin care product gently cleanses attention-centric acne skin, not to mention the fact that the ingredients are wonderful green, earth-friendly extracts from entirely natural plants, including Willow Bark (for its Natural Salicylic Acid). Incidentally, this product is great for working on the removal of blackheads.

Blocked pores are literally filled with debris. A thick cleansing agent will not work for blocked pores. The problem is that there is no room for a thick cleanser to enter the pore. On the other hand, our Pore Clearing Cleanser is a very thin fluid that will exploit the smallest gap in the pore to enter and loosen debris enough that the skin’s own removal functions will work to free up the pore.

Dr. Georgeann Dau has formulated a patented blend of Tea Tree Oil and other ingredients to produce a unique PH balancing feature for our Pore Clearing Cleanser. Once our cleanser is applied and skin pores have been opened, this PH balancing feature will work to normalize otherwise reddened skin producing a healthy appearance and a smooth, appealing texture.

On Acne Skin Care

Posted on July 22, 2010 by claudine

Acne affects millions of people of all over the world. It knows no bounds and can be found on people of all ages, races, and social strata. Those affected inherit over production of sebum and inadequate sloughing of skin cells within the pore. These two factors cause the all too familiar blackheads or comedones to appear. If left untreated,  the wall of the pore can rupture underneath causing both infection and inflammation. There is no real cure for acne, but it can be controlled by a comprehensive regimen which includes facials from a well trained esthetician who knows how to properly remove comedones. A personally tailored skin care program which takes into consideration the person’s age and other underlying factors such as premenstrual breakouts, lifestyle, stress, etc should strongly be considered. Products containing salicylic, alpha hydroxy acid or retinol will help with the removal of the skin cells both on the epidermis and within the pore, thus removing a major factor in comdone formation. Other products that contain oil controlling or absorbing ingredients such as Alchemiè Shine Free or Alchemiè Retinol Resurfacing Complex which helps to slow down oil production can take care of the other contributing factor of the comedone.

On Inflammation and Aging

Posted on July 21, 2010 by georgeann

One hundred years ago humankind was not aware of our immune system as we know of it today. Immunity was actually discovered by doing research with starfish.

This carefully integrated system works to identify self from non-self protecting us from foreign invaders which do not belong in our bodies and some which can cause infection.

Inflammation is actually a process which is created through the normal functioning of the immune system.  We have two types of inflammation; chronic and acute.  Acute inflammation is intense and painful and of short duration. It is experienced from sunburn, for instance or a pin prick or hitting your finger with a hammer.

Chronic inflammation is more low grade, less intense but for a long duration.  This type of inflammation can take place in heart disease, acne rosacea, or joint pain being just a few examples.  While acute inflammation is important to the healing process; chronic inflammation is not.

Low grade, chronic, subclinical inflammation over long  periods of time is one of the major causes of disease and aging.  It is actually the precursor of most disease states.

Stress, inhalation of environmental chemicals, too much alcohol and sugar, too much sun, chemicals in health and beauty care products are just a few of the causes of low grade, inflammation.

There are protocols that can be implemented which neutralize or slow down this inflammatory process while creating a healing environment.

On Spiritual Direction

Posted on July 21, 2010 by georgeann

Our appearance is of the utmost importance in the society in which we live.  The first impression we make, however, is not only how we look but more about how we make someone feel when they are in our presence for however long or short of a time.

At Body Naturals we are very aware of this.  Dr. Georgeann Dau, holds a degree in Transpersonal Psychology and is certified in Spiritual Direction.  She offers psycho/spiritual personalized sessions to become aware of and engage the parts of ourselves that disenables us to connect with the deepest part of ourselves; our truest self; our connection with source; our relationship with our God.   This ancient art helps us to discern the movement of God in our life as we journey towards the love, acceptance, and grace always awaiting us in each breath.

We invite you to go to bodynaturals.com and click on the spiritual page to read more about what is available and to share in the prayerful reflections.

Attending to Reddened Irritated Skin

Posted on July 18, 2010 by georgeann

Many of the products and procedures from Dr. Georgeann Dau and Body Naturals, Ltd. are intended to shoulder some of the attention required by reddened and irritated skin. In a rather mild form, reddened and irritated skin can require some type of topical treatment and, perhaps, some protection from the environmental factors that contribute to the condition. At an intense level, reddened and irritated skin can result from an acne-prone condition, complicated by an excess of oil and an inability on the part of the skin to discharge waste.

Products intended to subdue this attention-centric skin condition of reddened and irritated skin include several products from our own Alchemiè Accouter line, including:

As you review the description, ingredients and application of these products, you will note that most of them moisturize (hydrate) the skin. We operate on the premise that environmental factors that contributed to a reddened and irritated skin condition include stress, smoke, and pollutants that all reduce the skin’s natural ability to utilize moisture to:

  • Maintain attractive appearance
  • Remove waste
  • and fortify health

You can also find products from Dr.med Christine Schrammek and Circadia Skin Care that provide similar benefits, including, from Christine Schrammek:
