Magnesium Therapy

 

When the body is deficient in magnesium over 300 enzymes are unable to function correctly. Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body - it can be found in human bones, teeth and red blood cells, and activates more enzyme systems than both Iron and Zinc combined.

 

Magnesium deficiency is a common health risk factor and is often undiagnosed. This mineral is principal in regulating how well the human body converts food into energy. Metabolism of carbohydrates and fats require numerous magnesium-dependent chemical reactions.

 

“What are the symptoms of magnesium deficiency can it be treated?”

 

Abnormal heart rhythm / Loss of appetite / Fatigue / Foot pain / Insomnia / Leg cramps / Low energy / Migraine / Nausea / PMS and Hormonal Imbalances / Vomiting.

 

Magnesium Oil is a natural concentrated form of Magnesium Chloride. It is applied directly to the skin for intense effect. (ingredients: 100 per cent natural source sea bed mineral salts and 31 per cent magnesium chloride)

 

 

Oxygen Therapy

  

“Without oxygen, the planet and its’ inhabitants wouldn’t survive. So what’s oxygen therapy”?

 

The administration of oxygen as a medical, natural or holistic intervention, which can be for a variety of purposes in both chronic and acute patient care.

 

The air we breathe contains oxygen, vital to every cell in the body. Body cells need oxygen to burn the food they get from the blood. A few minutes starved of oxygen the body loses consciousness and eventually it will expire.

 

Air normally contains about 21 per cent oxygen and 0.03 per cent carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide at that level does not poison the body.

Air to Blood

Oxygen in the air passes quickly through lung tissue making it easy to absorb into the bloodstream. Oxygen rich blood is bright red and travels through arteries on the way out from the heart.

 

Oxygen supplements such as Aerobic Oxygen and OxyPlus are available and prescribed by Holistic Practitioners. These products detox and alkalize the body effectively.

 

 

Water (H²O) 

 

Dehydration is one of the most basic causes of disease.

 

Water accounts for about 60 per cent male weight and 50 per cent women weight. Total body water content must be kept within limits for the healthy function of cells and tissues. In temperate climates a minimum of 1.5 litres of water is lost by an adult every 24 hours through the skin as perspiration, from the lungs into the air, and in the urine to rid the body of toxic waste products.

 

In hot climates 2 to 5 litres of water may be lost in perspiration every day; if engaging in hard physical work loss can increase up to 10 litres. Large amounts of water are also lost in vomit or diarrhoea particularly in cases of cholera, and urine in cases of uncontrolled diabetes, mellitus, diabetes insipidus and some types of kidney failure.

Symptoms of Dehydration include:

 

•  Severe thirst

•  Dry lips

•  Dry tongue

•  Increase in heart rate and breathing rate

•  Dizziness

•  Confusion

•  Coma (only in the event of severe dehydration)

 

Coma treated with fluid and salt replacement. Fluids must be administered intravenously and carefully monitored by blood test.

The simplest rule to prevent dehydration is to drink enough water. Sometimes this means drinking well beyond the point of thirst.
