Most of you have already heard of yin and yang. Their symbol is well known: it is a circle, separated by an S, with the right part black and part white on the left. And in each semi-circle, there is a small white circle in the black and black to the white.

As the name suggests, the yin and yang are Chinese, they stem directly from Taoism.
According to this philosophy, yin and yang is present in all aspects of the universe. And, as the symbol shown perfectly, they are complementary and symbiotic. One can not exist without the other. You can not, for example, be yang yin and not at all. Moreover, this complementarity is perfect because, as you can see the symbol, there is a little yin in yang and a little yang in yin.

But in fact represent the yin and yang?

The yin and yang direct all aspects of the universe (earth, water, fire …) and people.
Yin (black) is the dark side, dark, cold, passivity. It is hollow. He gives life. It represents the moon, the feminine. Its colors are cold: green, blue, purple, gray.
Yang (white) is the brightness, light activity. It represents the sun and the men’s side. Its colors are warm: orange, plum, red, yellow.

To be complete, here is more accurately represent the yin and yang:

Yin: Female – Negative – Odd – Water – Cooling – Humidity – Interior – Liabilities – Descending – Contraction – Darkness – Home

Yang: Male – Positive – Pairs – Fire – Warm – Dry – Outdoor – Active – Ascending – Expansion – Light – Garden

But as there is a little yin in yang and a little yang in yin, this means that there is masculinity in femininity and vice versa.

The theory of yin and yang has been taken in the West to define the personality of individuals. For example, many psychological tests are offered to see if you are more yin than yang, or vice versa. You are asked a series of questions such as: What is your favorite color, you’re pretty quiet, nervous, a bit of both, you are stingy, spend, neither, and so on. ?

Compared to what exactly symbolize the yin and yang, you know perfectly what kind of questions are asked in such tests.
As for the results, here schematically what it is:
A person who is more yin than yang is introverted, quiet and rather shy. She does not like to show off and enjoy some change. She prefers the cocooning. Physically, it is rather healthy.

A person who is more yang is outgoing, likes to get nervous in front. It prefers adventure to the routine of everyday life. Physically, it is rather thin.

Bine course, in absolute terms, the ideal is to find the perfect balance of yin and yang. If one dominates the other, you are not very balanced. However, in reality, you will always be more yin than yang or vice versa.
However, to try to find this balance, it is recommended by specialists in the fen-shui, develop your home based on the rebalancing that you want.
So if you’re too yang, too nervous, maybe you should, to calm you down, make a room more yin, blue for example.
Conversely, if you are more yin, no pep, red walls are preferable in order to restore energy.

Thus, there are different techniques to try to achieve harmony between yin and yang, between body and mind, between you and the world around you. The search for this balance is essential for you to be healthy. Acupuncture, shiatsu, Chinese medicine in general, refer to the theory of yin and yang and try by various manipulations you breathe more yin or yang, depending on your needs to achieve balance. A change in your diet can help you achieve it. There are yin foods (more cereals, less sugar, for example) and yang foods (more salads, less strong cheeses, for example).

The balance between yin and yang is also unstable and requires constant work. Indeed, from the time you have for example more yang, yin will seek to regain lost space, but from there, the yang is in decline and try to win again, etc. . This is actually a changing cycle that you must tame every day to live in perfect harmony.

All this is just a few examples among many others.
As you can see, there are stones that heal all the small pains daily or every disease.
Their high energy and color would have the effect of re balancing the body and mind.
It still lacks depth and serious studies to confirm their benefits, however many people use them and seem to be better off.
In any case, a priori, this should not have adverse effects on your body to wear, for example, a stone on you.
However, if this form of therapy you are interested, please consult specialists (as long as you choose them because there is no federation or training recognized by the state) and above all never neglect to go your doctor in case of illness or health problems.

Precious stones to dream with their beauty and their colors. They make women more beautiful, it seems. They have always been admired and sought after. In the past, they often attributed mystical and mysterious virtues. This is also the case for all that is rare and expensive.

But the stones were soon decked out another quality, that of healing, relieve. It was the Greeks who were first used for therapeutic purposes, and the Orientals, American Indians, the Hindus, the Chinese. The French are not to be outdone, the healers of the Middle Ages used the emerald to treat the liver.

Today, medicine for the gems continues to gain followers. It became a medicine and was even given a name: crystal healing, which comes from the Greek lithos meaning stone.

This treatment is done in stages:

- Cleaning of your organization (Shodan) which consists of massages with oils and herbs to remove toxins in enemas, by vomiting, nasal douches to free yourself of surplus, in special yoghurt intake to replenish your intestinal flora
- The spiritual treatment (the Shaman) which consists of meditation, yoga, chanting, breathing in order to reconcile the doshas
- The physical and respiratory exercises with absorption of herbs and minerals to improve your vitality and your physical performance (the Rasayana)
- The practice of mantras (sound therapy), yantras (help with concentration) and tantra (direction of energy through the body) to fight against stress and increase your psychological balance in order raise you spiritually and mentally.

Disease prevention are proposed plans to help you strengthen your weakest organs and balancing your body and mind.
In France, Ayurvedic medicine pure and simple, does not seem to be many followers. It should certainly be born in India to achieve fully understand the principles of ayurveda. By cons, are emerging for some time the ayurvedic massages, treatments, diets Ayurvedic-inspired, not to mention yoga.

The ayruveda seems complicated at first and it is certainly very difficult to know all the ins and outs. However, with changing attitudes towards the West from a desire to live more in harmony with nature, to a better physical and mental, is what one does not approach a little more each day of Ayurveda ?

Food is of great importance in ayurveda. You must not eat too much and healthy way. For example, you need to eat only when hungry.
The world is a whole and each of its elements (space, air, earth, fire, water) interact with each other. They act on the man and the influence. Similarly, human influence nature. And the goal is to find the perfect harmony so that the balance is carried.

Ayurveda is a kind of preventive treatment of disease. But if they appear, “medical” treatment exists.

Ayurveda has given birth to Ayurvedic medicine, alternative medicine, taught in universities in India.

According to Ayurveda, each person has a Prakruti, a constitution and metabolism of its own. From there, three were defined moods or doshas, ​​that is to say, the vital energies that regulate the body. These three humors are Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Each of us is more or less Vata is to say, impulsive, imaginative, sleepless and restless, Pitta, that is to say, very tough, angry and passionate and Kapha, which is to say up solid but slow and prone to obesity and cholesterol.

To be healthy, we need your three humors are balanced.

If you are sick, so it’s one of your moods is in excess in your body. If you have wrong is that the Vita is in excess, if you have a fever, it’s Pitta and if you scratch, it is the Kapha. Every mood is a separate treatment, which involves massage with enemas, in diet, exercise, exercise in mental and spiritual, and more surprisingly, in fasting, singing, affection, social gatherings, etc..

The very principle of Ayurveda is to treat the person (children to elderly) and not the disease. Constitution of each person is different, being composed of different moods, treatment will not be the same.

Thus, by examining your eyes, your tongue, your wrist or your urine, your doctor may ask Ayurvedic diagnosis and determine the treatment that suits you best.

These treatments might seem incongruous to Western minds, are to treat your body as a whole. For example, if you have liver, we will not only give you a treatment for the liver. All of your body and your mind will be processed.

In recent years, Ayurveda has emerged in France. We hear more and more about ayurvedic massage, ayurvedic medicine. However, this philosophy of life and this medicine have existed for over 5000 years in India.

Ayurveda is composed of two words, Ayur meaning life and veda meaning knowledge or science. This philosophy has as main purpose to help you balance your energies to live in harmony with yourself and the world around you.

Ayurveda is both a way of life and a medicine called Ayurveda.

In terms of lifestyle, Ayurveda is practiced every day. You have to work with you daily. You must be very careful about the ecology, but not to that, we in the West, we know. You must pay attention to the nature around you by preserving, but also your inner nature. Thus, you must avoid polluting your being with harmful elements, such as negative thoughts. For this you need a positive attitude. Similarly, you must learn to control your emotions and impulses, such as jealousy, anger, uncertainty, fanaticism.

Work is therefore on you so that you reach the well-being and inner peace, while trying to be in perfect harmony with nature around you. Thus you need to change your diet according to the different seasons. All acts of your daily life are regulated precisely and every moment of the day should be spent on specific activities. In the morning, you must, for example, get up early, you massage, physical exercise, take a shower, you purify, meditate, eat before going to work. In the evening, you must be creative, take a walk, meet people, meditate, relax and sleep.

I do not know if for good fortune or because we have no other, but there are several alternatives to ease our torment pedis. One of them is to go to a podiatrist (a) as its regular lime. However, a more productive way to say goodbye to the problem is through laser surgery.

As its name implies, this procedure involves small incisions in practice (no more than three millimeters) to the affected area. Through them, cut / file the bone, stretching the tendons in the worst case. The great advantage of this intervention is that you only need local anesthesia, the ankle down, and does not require suturing. By the way, can also be applied if we have additional complications such as bunions, claw toes, etc.

Being an outpatient procedure, from the first day we made short trips to, provided we have bound feet (used like this until three weeks after surgery) and wear shoes with a comfortable sole. Remember that beauty is not necessarily at odds with the comfort and if so, we suspect that it is beneficial, especially in our body.

Many myths revolve around the use of aspartame found in most light products … is believed to be the cause of many diseases, including cancer, see here how true is this.

One thing that is questioning the use of aspartame, is the recent study conducted in Denmark, where he worked with about 60,000 women who were pregnant. Which found that daily consumption of soft drinks were sweetened with aspartame would be able to increase the risk of preterm delivery by 38%. Also, if the consumption of these soft drinks increased, for example, more than 4 glasses a day, the risk of preterm birth was seen increased until 78%.

Another study that is causing serious concerns is that an Italian scientist made the Ramazzini Institute, who did an experiment with about 240 rats were given a large amount of aspartame. The result was that male rats increased rates of cancer, especially lung and liver. While female rats were not hurt.

All in all, an endocrinologist and nutritionist, Jean-Michel Borys argued that for the first case, the risk of preterm birth occurs in women who drink sugared sodas, but that this risk is much lower in those who consume non-carbonated beverages also sweetened. , Which generates some doubts, because then the problem would not be the sweetener.

Jean-Michel Borys added that a while ago Afsa undertook an experiment, which studied the sugars and carbohydrates, and whose conclusion was that people who consumed large amounts of sugary drinks, the best thing would be inclined to sweetened drinks as these give great energy intake and risk of developing caries is much lower.

Finally, this scientist has agreed that it is best to do more studies in this regard and in more detail. Well, as submitted by the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority), still no sufficient evidence to question the recommendations with regard to sweeteners and aspartame.

Remember, the daily dose approved by the EFSA consumption is 40 mg per kilo of body weight per day. In the case of children and emujeres of childbearing age, daily consumption is estimated between 2.5 and 5 mg per kg of body weight.

Maybe you, your brother or even your children are dreaming of having a sexy pierced tongue. Before you pay close attention to the warning that scientists have been launched in Austria to study the bacteria associated with the placement of these gems.

Several people were studied over 20 years who voluntarily underwent the placement of the piercings of various materials: stainless steel and plastic (polyethylene). What I found weeks later were surprising: an increase in the growth of bacteria both on the same piercings, as in the drill site and the same language.

Of the 80 types of disease-related bacteria in the mouth, 67 were found in the stainless steel piercings, far fewer were found in plastic piercings.

What surprised most scientists is to find not only bacteria that cause infections related to the mouth or teeth, but also bacteria that cause serious infections throughout the body, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Haemophilus influenza.

Also a renowned dentist, currently advises consumers of the American Dental Association, reported that the majority of their patients who have one of these piercings, either plastic or metal, have suffered at some point a type of damage to the back of teeth, whether caused by infection exacerbated plaque or some physical trauma due to the hoop.

Currently, the American Dental Association has launched its alarm and completely opposed to the placement of these piercings in the mouth. The temperature, saliva and food debris are not the most favorable conditions for foreign matter to add another hard hygiene.

While it is true that they are sexy and fun, this is something you have to think very well, and in any case, consult your dentist or general practitioner about the best way to keep the piercing clean, but you should know that any measure suficente not.

Because the skin as a protective peel, then the bacteria and other infectious organisms can easily enter the body.
In addition, some fluid loss occurs through evaporation.
