Benefits of Onagra Oil (Evening primrose oil)

May 13th, 2008 by admin

Onagra oil comes from onagra or primrose (Oenothera biennis and Oenothera lamarkiana), a plant from North America with medicinal properties. The oil is obtained from their seeds put under pressure in cold. This oil has a very good nutritional profile, it is very rich in poliinsaturated essential fatty acids: linoleic acid (70 %) and gamma-linolenic acid (10 %), both of the series of Omega 6 fatty acids, important precursors of diverse cellular mediators that are indispensable for the correct operation and stability of cellular membranes in our organism. They are also essential for the proper development of the nervous system, hormonal system and the regulation of the coagulation processes.

They are also precursors of the eicosanoids (prostaglandins, tromboxanes, leucotrienes and hidroxiacids), which regulate a myriad if important biological processes during all our life. In addition, onagra oil contains oleic acid in smaller proportion (a monoinsaturated fatty acid).

The essential fatty acids, the ones that can not be synthesized by our organism, must be gotten up with the diet. When the diet lacks these essential fatty acids, affections in the heart, circulatory system, skin, the immune system, the reproductive apparatus and the nervous system are likely to appear.

How Strivectin Works

December 8th, 2007 by admin

Time and again you have seen medical experts claim that all wrinkle treatment products can’t work because dead skin cells can’t be brought back to life. In their next breath they will then tell you that your only choice is their plastic surgeries or botox at $300-1000 per treatment. What they will fail to say is that Strivectin can “lift out” the wrinkles in the fine skin around your lips, eyes and hands by thickening the dermal-epidermal- junction.

This is the layer that is located between the two top layers of your skin. Strivectin is not to be confused with skin moisturizers that are on the market that only make the top of your skin smoother to the touch. These skin moisturizers while softening your skin can actually increase some wrinkling the same was as a long soak in the bath tub can.

Strivectins patented formula has been proven in numerous clinical trails to effectively elevate wrinkling in the thin skin of the face by working from underneath the top layer of the skin. It is the only topical skin care product on the market that functions this way. Strivectin was originally marketed as a stretch mark treatment but it was discovered by its users to be highly effective on fine wrinkles on thin skin of the face and hands.

Preparation for the Cosmetic Surgery Operation

October 22nd, 2007 by admin

If you made up your mind about improving your self-image by undergoing plastic surgery such as botox or breast augmentation, you have to take the following things into consideration immediately before the surgery.

  • Do not smoke or at least bring under stringent control your smoking for at least two week before the operation. Smoking will reduce blood circulation and blood supply to the skin, will impair the healing process and may cause serious damage to your lungs especially after breast lift surgeries.
  • Before the actual surgery do not drink or eat anything after 11 pm the night before the operation. Undigested food or water in your stomach at the time of surgery may cause mortal infection!
  • No aspirin or medicines that contain ibuprofen or aspirin should be taken for at least 10 days prior to surgery. These medications may cause external and internal bleeding both during the surgery and after. Take medications that contain acetaminophen instead.
  • Get a decent amount of exercise. Regular work-out, outdoors and indoors, will help your surgery scars heal faster. Following these simple guidelines will help you get ready and in top form for your important looks-enhancing operation.
