Thu, Apr 14, 2011
Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine have been used to relieve headaches and migraines for thousands of years.
In traditional Chinese medicine, there are many causes of headaches or migraine, such as rising of liver yang (stress and emotional problems), blood deficiency (failure of enough blood to nourish the head correctly: dizziness, palpitations, and tiredness), and blood stagnation (always occurs in patients with a history of external injury). By using the natural remedies, traditional Chinese medicine can treat headache and migraine by using acupuncture, acupressure, and herbal medicine, which can calm the liver yang, normalise the yin blood, and disperse blood stasis. It is regarded as the ideal way to root out the causes of the problem.

Thu, Mar 24, 2011
If you ever want to know what the very latest trends in cosmetics are, swing by the MAC counter in Brown Thomas. New on counter at the minute is the Wonder Woman collection, complete in comic book style packaging. It includes the supersized mineralised skin finish, eyeshadows, lipsticks, and powder blushers. Readers of this column will not be at all surprised to know my favourite item in this collection is the Reflex Glitter, in pearl and bronze. Though a plain and simple girl in most ways, and already owning four Bobbi Brown shimmer brinks, I could not resist this glitter. I tend to think glitter has mystical powers and improves all circumstances. This one is unreal. It can be used over a creamy eye shadow to add dimension or over cream blush to highlight. The sparkles practically dance on the skin, I love it. If you are baring your shoulders you can dust it over the tops of your arms (when a MAC make up artist suggests you to go sparingly, you know you may have gone a bridge to far with it in the past).

Wed, Mar 16, 2011
Acupressure is a Chinese method of healing that has been practised for some 3,000 years and which works on the meridians, energy channels that run in a network through the body. In a healthy body, the ‘chi’, or essential energy, flows freely and evenly through the meridians. When blockages occur, the body becomes unbalanced, chi is trapped, and disease occurs.
