The Importance of Non-Toxic Skin Care and Why I Can't Get Enough of This Particular Brand

2/16/2019

I am a huge proponent of healthy and safer skin care. What you put on your skin is extremely important. The right skin care products can help keep your skin healthy, smooth and hydrated.

Over the last three years, Pellu has tested and researched their non-toxic skin care products on women of all ages with different skin types, beauty concerns, and environments. The owners listened and reformulated, ensuring Pellu provides a luxurious experience for all women. They are even convinced that you’ll love Pellu skin care products. So much so, that if for any reason you are not fully satisfied, let them know within 60 days and they'll send you your money back.

I am one of the women that tested their non-toxic skin care products. I have been using their products for about two years now and I can personally say that their latest line of products are the best yet! Some examples of the skin loving remedies in their products are; New Zealand manuka honey, kanuka, totara, oat, cucumber & linden flower. These ingredients help hydrate the skin and keep you looking young and healthy.

Pellu has several facial products and has recently added a body lotion. What initially caught my attention was their 3 step skin care system. They formulate three products; a cleanser, toner and moisturizer specifically for your individual skin type. I recommend starting with this 3 step skin care system. You can get your own skin care system at 50% Off and a FREE gift by clicking HERE. All other products use coupon code: DRSUZHEALS for 20% off at Pellu.com.

Pellu's three step beauty system makes your routine quick and easy. The system for normal skin is designed to give a youth-enhancing zing to dull, tired, stressed out skin. The top benefit is revitalized skin that resists the signs of aging, smooths fine lines and transforms dullness into a vital glow. Any fragrances are 100% natural.

I truly believe that all women should know the exact ingredients they are putting on their face and body every day. I have honestly never used a brand of products that are this effective with such healthy ingredients. The very minimal amount of preservative is their to make the product last but since it is so minimal the products only have a shelf life of 3 months. Which is a good thing! A truly natural non-toxic product shouldn't have a shelf life of a year!

Pellu’s Normal Skin 3 Step Beauty System delivers moisture and energy. The best part is step #3 Moisturize! With white tea, green coffee and Australian finger limes to reduce the free radical damage associated with aging. Anti-sag formula includes vitamin E, copper, zinc and hyaluronic acid to support your dermal matrix. The products are never tested on animals, made with eco-friendly packaging, are gmo-free, contain no parabens and are dermatologist tested.

Here is a detailed description of the ingredients in the 3 Step Skin Care System from Pellu for Normal Skin:

7 Ways to Prepare for Valentine's Day with Acupuncture by Mila Mintsis

2/5/2019

Valentines day is just around the corner! Although it is true that we should celebrate each other and show our love every day, there is still something exciting about having a day that takes you out of your routine and reminds you to show that someone special a little more attention. Everyone likes to celebrate differently, but whether you decide to have a simple romantic dinner or a thrilling encounter on a rooftop bar with a glass of champagne and a city skyline view, below are the 7 ways in which acupuncture can help to make it an unforgettable night.

1. Gift an acupuncture session – when you give a gift of acupuncture, you give a gift of love. Who would not want to give their special someone the chance to relax and get rid of his or her
ailments?

2. Try cosmetic acupuncture – Cosmetic acupuncture is a healthy alternative to botox and involves insertion of tiny hair thin needles into the face. It increases collagen production, improves skin tone and complexion, and reduces puffiness. Even celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Gwenyth Paltrow incorporate it as part of their skin care routine. Cosmetic acupuncture will give you a healthy glow and make you feel refreshed and rejuvenated for your date.

3. Try acupuncture to improve your posture – Nothing shows more confidence and sex appeal than a straight back and beautiful posture. Acupuncture is great for treating stiff neck and hunched shoulders that so many of us have these days due to increased phone and computer use. Acupuncture helps to relax tight muscles and correct inhibitions causing postural changes.

4. Try acupuncture to boost your libido – Whatever the cause might be, acupuncture is a safe and effective way to increase the blood flow down below to enhance arousal and sexual response. It also helps to restore balance between the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) systems to facilitate that spark when you’re with that special someone.

5. De-stress – Who would think that needles can actually be relaxing, but studies in fact have shown that acupuncture increases secretion of endorphins, regulates nervous system, and blocks production of stress hormones. People usually feel euphoric and experience deep states of relaxation after treatments. As a result, acupuncture can also give you a good night’s sleep.
Feeling calm and rested will allow you to better focus on your partner and give them your
undivided love and attention.

6. Try acupuncture to take away your bloat – Worried about digesting that fancy meal or
decadent whipped cream topped dessert? Acupuncture can help! Acupuncture has been shown to improve digestion and nutrient assimilation by balancing the nervous system and thus creating a favorable parasympathetic state, which allows the digestive complaints to heal. By beating the bloat, feel confident and free to indulge for the evening.

7. Don’t have a Valentine? – Not a problem! Who else is going to give you more love or have the skills to treat you right than your acupuncturist?! Regardless of whether or not you have that special someone to celebrate with, you should not forget to show love for yourself. Schedule an acupuncture session and get the treatment and care you deserve!

3 Non-Surgical Treatments For Foot & Ankle Pain

9/30/2018

0 Comments

Foot and ankle pain and other problems can be extremely debilitating. Undergoing foot and ankle surgery usually requires a lot of downtime and a long recovery. Many people think that most foot problems require surgery, however, there are several non-surgical treatments before choosing to go under the knife.

Before deciding on foot or ankle surgery, our doctors will try several non-surgical treatments to relieve the pain or inflammation in your foot or ankle. At LuxePodiatry™, my private practice in Palm Beach County, we provide many non-surgical treatment options for our patients. Here are three non-surgical treatments that are easily performed in our office with little to no downtime.

Hyaluronic Acid Injections
Hyaluronan is a natural substance found in your joints and joint fluid. In the foot and ankle, hyaluronan acts like a lubricant and a cushion in the joint. When you lose this lubricant and cushion, you will get decreased motion, pain and swelling in your joints.
The goal of this type of injection is to supplement poor-quality hyaluronan in your painful joint with additional highly purified hyaluronan. We use an injectable solution made from highly purified sodium hyaluronate (also known as hyaluronic acid) that is extracted from chicken combs. These are harvested from chickens that have been certified as suitable for human consumption via pre- and post-mortem veterinary inspection.
The treatment will be injected directly into your joint right in the office by one of our trained physicians.
The whole procedure takes only a few minutes:

Your doctor may use a local anesthetic to numb the area.
Your doctor may remove any the fluid that is currently in your joint with a process called arthrocentesis.
Your doctor injects hyaluronic acid therapy into the painful joint space.

You may be instructed to avoid strenuous activities for a couple of days following the injection. Most patients experience little or no discomfort during the injection.
The injections are usually done in a series. Your doctor will inform you as to how many injections you will need.
We are currently using Supartz FX™

Traumeel® Injections
Traumeel is a homeopathic prescription drug that is indicated for the treatment of inflammatory and degenerative conditions. Traumeel is a botanical extract and agent found in nature that not only reduces swelling, but balances it to promote its benefits. Traumeel is primarily composed of arnica montana root, a plant extract that is commonly found in tablets and creams to relieve pain and inflammation.
Since the solution is mostly plant based, there are little to no side effects or allergic reactions. Traumeel is an anti-inflammatory treatment that can be used as often as necessary. Compared to corticosteroids, though safe when regulated by a physician, may have adverse effects if used too often.
Traumeel injections treat several inflammation based conditions. Soft tissue injuries respond very well to Traumeel treatment, including muscles ligaments, and tendons. It is very helpful to those who experience chronic inflammation, such as athletes who may have an area or body part that they overuse during performance.
Some of the common conditions Traumeel is used for:

Tendinitis
Strains/Sprains
Tears of ligaments, muscles or tendons
Plantar Fasciitis
Joint Pain
Sports Injury
Muscle Spasms
Fractures
Bursitis
Neuroma
Minor Arthritis Symptoms

Human Amniotic Cell Membrane
Get back to the activities and sports that you love!
Amniotic cell therapy is an all natural injection therapy designed for soft tissue injuries in the foot and ankle. Amniotic therapy is used for patients who have found no relief through conservative treatments such as physical therapy, anti-inflammatories, insoles and bracing or are looking for non-surgical and non-steroidal options.
Amniotic fluid is highly concentrated in stem cells, proteins, cytokines and other important compounds, which are one some of the most fundamental cells in our bodies. Studies have shown this fluid to be naturally regenerative and can reduce inflammation and scars. Amniotic fluid is the fluid surrounding a fetus in pregnancy. During most pregnancies, this fluid is thrown away after birth. Consenting mothers of cesarian section babies can donate this fluid because of it’s amazing regenerative process. It is important to note, these cells come from the amniotic sac and are not part of the embryo.
You will be back on your feet immediately with little to no downtime.
