My eczema is driving mad to be honest! Any suggestions?

Asked by   PaolaEnergya 6 months ago.

The eczema is only on the fingers and half of the palm of my hands. I am trying as much as I can to avoid dairy and saturated fat which are usually the triggers. However I am pretty sure it is stress related and possibly linked to a nerve impingement in my cervical spine.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks!

Is there a way to increase the levels of leptin and decrease the levels of ghrelin?

Asked by   PaolaEnergya 10 months ago.

I was wondering if there are supplements, foods or hearbal remedies that can give a sense of satiety by subtly influencing the levels of leptin and ghrelin. Any thoughts?

Hello gorgeous colleagues! Can you help me find natural remedies for hay fever? Thanks

Asked by   PaolaEnergya more than 1 year ago.

Everybody is raving about spring and I hate it. No, seriously, really. I tend to use off the shelf hay fever medication like Clarytin Allergy but is there a natural remedy I could use instead? Thank you!

I've noticed that not many spas accept the Wahanda voucher, is there a quick way to filter them out so you only get the ones that do when you search for them?

A client asked me if there is any risk to the lymph nodes when using IPL

Asked by   PaolaEnergya more than 1 year ago.

One of my massage clients who is having IPL told me she refuses to have laser on armpits and bikini for concerns of potential damage to the lymph nodes. I believe IPL is totally safe. What are your thoughts?

Is there an effective remedy for the common cold?

Asked by   PaolaEnergya more than 1 year ago.

I can't seem to shift a nasty cold after a week (my fault, I went to the beach on a cloudy day! I can think of worse ways of catching a cold...).
Remedies like echinacea or homeopathy don't seem to do the trick and I prefer to avoid taking paracetamol... I used pressure points on my sinuses which give a temporary release but then it's all back to square one; ideas anyone?

Question to personal trainers: how can I strengthen my left leg? My right side is more dominant

Asked by   PaolaEnergya more than 1 year ago.

As a massage therapist, I always end up using the right side of my body more than the left and currently my left hip and leg are weaker than their counterparts. I do Power Plate, Pilates, rowing and dancing but should I do specific exercises to strengthen my left side?
