(skincare treatment)</h1> <i>by Danny & Susan Siegenthaler </i> <br><br><br>[<a href="article16.html"> <== Continued from previous page </a> ] <p>Finally, there is one more important consideration in the maintenance of your skin – should you use natural skincare products or will any products do? <p>The answer is NATURAL, naturally. Think about it from this point of view: When you buy food, do you look for ‘no artificial colouring’, ‘no artificial flavours’, ‘contains not GMO’s’, etc., or don’t you care? <p>What about your drinks, do you not look for 100% natural, low in salt, no artificial this or that, no added sugar, etc. Of course you do. Well, your skin does absorb nutrients whether they are natural or not; it will absorb these chemicals into the tissue and it will then be able to use them, or not. Natural substances are much more easily assimilated in your body and are also more easily eliminated, once they’ve performed their functions. <p>As scientific research is becoming more sophisticated we are discovering more and more information on how our body works, how foods interact in our systems and how some foods contain substances which are not able to be made synthetically – well, the same of course stands true for plants. Phyto-estrogens are just one example of naturally occurring substances essential to the wellbeing of our bodies. Similarly, herbal extracts, essential oils, fruit extracts, etc. all contain naturally occurring chemicals, which science is not able to make synthetically due to their complexity. <p>This means, that the synthetic version of a plant extract (often in concentrated forms) is not the same as the natural version and can in fact have different and even side effects on your body. An old, but good example is Aspirin. We are all aware by now, that Aspirin can cause stomach irritation and even lead to stomach ulcers. <p>The active ingredient in Aspirin is salicylic acid. It naturally occurs in the bark of the White Willow tree. The big difference between taking Aspirin as opposed to the herbal extract of the White Willow bark, is that in the herbal extract there are many more substances contained which have secondary effects – one substance for example is a mucilaginous substance, which has the function of protecting your stomach lining! Guess what, there is nothing in Aspirin (from the chemist) that acts to protect your stomach – That’s the difference between using natural versus artificially manufactured substances. <p>So, the choice is yours, natural or not, it’s your asset and it is up to you to choose whether you will invest in your asset or withdraw from it. <p><table cellspacing=0 width=550 cellpadding=6 border=1> <tr><td bgcolor="#ffffc0"> <b>About the Author</b> </td></tr></table> <P>Danny is a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine and has many years of clinical experience both here in Australia and overseas.
