<p><strong>Breathing Exercises to Reduce Stress</strong></p>
<p>Proper breathing can reduce stress and anxiety levels. Learn about breathing and stress and breathing techniques to help you relax.</p>
<p>The primary role of breathing is gas exchange: our cells need oxygen and their waste product, carbon dioxide, needs to be expelled. Breathing is an automatic body function, controlled by the respiratory center of the brain. However, we can also deliberately change our rate of breathing.</p>
<p>Different healing systems, from different cultures, have long realized the healing benefits of the breath, including Yoga, Tai Chi and some forms of meditation. Many holistic practitioners believe that the breath is the link between the physical body and the ethereal mind, and that spiritual insight is possible through conscious breathing.</p>
<p><strong>A range of disorders </strong><br />
 The use of controlled breathing as a means of promoting relaxation can help  	manage a range of disorders, including:</p>
<ul>
<li> Anxiety </li>
<li>Asthma </li>
<li>Chronic fatigue syndrome </li>
<li>Chronic pain </li>
<li>High blood pressure </li>
<li>Insomnia </li>
<li>Panic attacks </li>
<li>Some skin conditions, such as eczema </li>
<li>Stress. </li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How we breathe </strong><br />
 To stay inflated, the lungs rely on a vacuum inside the chest. The diaphragm is a sheet of muscle slung underneath the lungs. When we breathe, the diaphragm contracts and relaxes. This change in pressure means that air is &#8216;sucked&#8217; into the lungs on inhalation and &#8216;pushed&#8217; out of the lungs on exhalation.</p>
<p>The intercostal muscles between the ribs help to change the internal pressure by lifting and relaxing the ribcage in rhythm with the diaphragm. Flexing the diaphragm requires the use of the lower abdominals. If your abdomen gently moves in and out while you breathe, then you are breathing correctly.</p>
<p><strong>Breathing and stress </strong><br />
 The brain sets the breathing rate according to carbon dioxide levels, rather than oxygen levels. When a person is under stress, their breathing pattern changes. Typically, an anxious person takes small, shallow breaths, using their shoulders rather than their diaphragm to move air in and out of their lungs. This style of breathing empties too much carbon dioxide out of the blood and upsets the body&#8217;s balance of gases. Shallow over-breathing &#8211; or hyperventilation &#8211; can prolong feelings of anxiety by exacerbating physical symptoms of stress, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Chest tightness </li>
<li>Constant fatigue </li>
<li>Faintness and lightheadedness </li>
<li>Feelings of panic </li>
<li>Headaches </li>
<li>Heart palpitations </li>
<li>Insomnia </li>
<li>Muscular aches, twitches or stiffness </li>
<li>Tingling, numb and cold hands and face. </li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The relaxation response </strong><br />
 When a person is relaxed, their breathing is nasal, slow, even and gentle. Deliberately mimicking a relaxed breathing pattern seems to calm the autonomic nervous system, which governs involuntary bodily functions. Physiological changes can include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Lowered blood pressure and heart rate </li>
<li>Reduced amounts of stress hormones </li>
<li>Reduced lactic acid build-up in muscle tissue </li>
<li>Balanced levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood </li>
<li>Improved immune system functioning </li>
<li>Increased physical energy </li>
<li>Feelings of calm and wellbeing. </li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Abdominal breathing </strong></p>
<p>There are different breathing techniques to bring about relaxation. In essence, the general aim is to shift from upper chest breathing to abdominal breathing. You will need a quiet, relaxed environment where you won&#8217;t be disturbed for 10 to 20 minutes. Set an alarm if you don&#8217;t want to lose track of time.</p>
<p>Sit comfortably and raise your ribcage to expand your chest. Place one hand on your chest and the other on your abdomen. Take notice of how your upper chest and abdomen are moving while you breath. Concentrate on your breath and try to breathe in and out gently through the nose. Your upper chest and stomach should be still, allowing the diaphragm to work more efficiently with your abdomen and less with your chest.</p>
<p>With each breath, allow any tension in your body to slip away. Once you are breathing slowly and with your abdominals, sit quietly and enjoy the sensation of physical relaxation.</p>
<p><strong>Special considerations </strong><br />
 Some people find that concentrating on their breath actually provokes panic and hyperventilation. If this is the case, look for another way to relax.</p>
<p><strong>Where to get help </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Your doctor </li>
<li>Stress management specialist, such as psychologist </li>
<li><strong>Things To Remember</strong></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Shallow, upper chest breathing is part of the typical stress  		response. </li>
<li>The stress response can be switched off by consciously breathing  		with the diaphragm. </li>
<li>Abdominal breathing plugs into the autonomic nervous system and encourages it to relax, bringing about a range of health benefits.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although it cannot be known for sure, there’s good reason to believe that none of the millions of people who have suffered or are suffering from acne has refrained from picking open or squeezing their pimples. In fact it seems to be one of the most common actions among those people whose faces or bodies are covered with unpleasant-looking red spots. It is also one of the worst possible ideas.</p>
<p>Pimples should never be squeezed or picked open by you. This is a job for a doctor and to be performed only if he deems it necessary. The main reason is that a pimple that has been squeezed or picked open is practically an invitation to every bacteria around to enter your body and cause an infection through the tiny opening in your skin. If you think the danger is negligible, you’re wrong.</p>
<p>At the very least your action is a sure way of causing future pimples to emerge in the same spot. Most likely, by tampering with your pimples in less than sterile conditions will result in permanent scarring, as the damaged skin closes around the gaping hole formerly known as a pimple. While I may seem to joke about it, let me assure you that this issue is very important. I know that it’s very hard to resist the temptation to squeeze your pimples in an attempt to eliminate at least the worst of them, but you should try as hard as you can to resists.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Believe me, you don’t want to spend the rest of your life with the scars of past acne flare-ups crisscrossing your face. This is why it’s very important to deal with acne in a decisive manner and prevent the emergence of pimples. The best way of taking care of your problem is to use an acne treatment that can really help your body put an end to basic cause of acne: widespread clogging of pores.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tired and confused of all the cosmetic products in the market? Are you typically at loss on what to buy to have the best quality that would give your skin the care it deserves? Well, if you are constantly fooled by the hypes done by those big cosmetic companies who are spending billions of dollars each year to satisfy your quest, then you might consider computing the amount of money that you have spent. How much does each trip to the drugstore cost? How many bottles of products did you buy aimed to cleanse, tone, moisturize, and exfoliate your skin? Does your bureau resemble a hospital medicine cabinet? The truth is, maintaining a beautiful skin does not have to be this complicated. There are natural ways to have that beautiful skin you have always longed for at your refrigerator and kitchen. Moreover, they are not that expensive as those bottles of cosmetics that you are so fond of.</p>
<p><strong>Easy Home Recipes for Beautiful Skin for Every Day of the Week</strong></p>
<p>1. You will need one egg, a heaping tablespoon of mayonnaise and a tablespoon of honey. Mix this together thoroughly with a fork and apply sparingly to the skin. Allow this to dry and then wipe off with a warm washcloth.<br />
 2. You will need 1 tbsp. yeast, 1 tbsp. baking soda, 1 tbsp. water. Mix together ingredients and apply on face allowing it to sit for 15 minutes before rinsing it with warm water.<br />
 3. You will need 1 tbsp. of gram flour, 1/4 tsp. orange peel powder, 1 tbsp. beaten yogurt, 1 tsp. olive oil. Mix ingredients well and apply paste on your face and neck allowing it to dry. Rinse with warm water first then cold water.<br />
 4. Slices of cucumbers applied to the eyes refresh and relieve puffiness and they are great cleansers when sliced and rubbed over your face. The same holds true for slices of fresh tomatoes.<br />
 5. You will need one-fourth tsp. of limejuice stir to mix with one tsp. of milk and cucumber juice. Apply on the face and neck and wash off after 14 minutes. This cleanses and purifies pores of skin.<br />
 6. Make a paste by mixing papaya, honey, milk and milk powder. Apply on the face and let sit for a few minutes then wash off.<br />
 7. You will need 1/2 tsp of rose water mixed with 1 tsp of honey. Gently apply to the face. Leave it for about 15-20 minutes, then wash off with tepid water. Honey moisturizes and soothes dry skin, and is gentle enough for daily use.</p>
<p>Really, you do not need to blow your savings just to have a beautiful skin. Next time you long for a facial open your fridge and treat yourself to an inexpensive, all natural, at home salon. Satisfaction guaranteed.</p>

<p>While you treat the visible symptoms of rosacea and flushing it is vitally important to treat the cause. As we have mentioned earlier in this site, it is important to keep a &#8216;Rosacea/Flushing&#8217; diary to log the possible causes that trigger these out breaks or flare-ups.</p>
<p>This will enable you to plan and modify your lifestyle to avoid these causes which will both prevent you developing rosacea or significantly speed up the healing process if you already have it.</p>
<p>Lifestyle management will include changing your diet and avoiding or protecting yourself from the environmental factors that trigger this skin disorder.</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><strong>Control stress and anxiety</strong></p>
<p>Stress and anxiety often cause flushing.  Learning methods of managing and controlling stress and anxiety can considerably reduce the problem, or even eliminate it completely. However, we recommend that you consult your Physician if you feel that you are suffering from stress and anxiety.</p>
<p><a title="reduce stress with self-hypnosis" href="http://www.acne-rosacea-times.com/reduce-stress-with-self-hynosis-and-breathing-technique.html">Visit our reduce stress page by listening to our Self-Hynosis audio tracks and practising the relaxtion breathing techniques &gt;</a></p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><strong>Avoid or limit stimulants</strong></p>
<p>Vascular dilators including coffee, tea, cigarettes, and excessive sugar from sweets and soft drinks should be avoided or substantially reduced where possible. Research has shown that soft drinks that contain Aspartame or NutraSweet cause flushing and redness in about 30% of rosacea sufferers.</p>
<p>Stimulants such as caffeine that is found in tea and coffee excites the nervous system, which results in blood vessel dilatation and redness. In addition, stress and anxiety symptoms are also increased.</p>
<p><strong>Avoid or limit alcohol</strong></p>
<p>It is best to avoid alcohol or reduce consumption.</p>
<p><strong>Avoid hot baths and showers or very cold water</strong></p>
<p>To prevent vascular dilation hot and very cold water should be avoided. Instead water below body temperature of 37 degrees centigrade (97 degrees Fahrenheit) should be used.<br />
 <strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Diet revision</strong></p>
<p>Foods and drinks that cause facial redness and vascular dilation, should be avoided. Foods types that cause these allergic flare-ups vary from individual to individual and the exact reasons for these food allergies are still unknown.</p>
<p>However, it is thought that foods high in calories and carbohydrates (sugars, breads, pastas), that give high burn and energy rates, dilate blood vessels and cause the red complexion.</p>
<p>It has also been suggested that foods high in histidine such as tomatoes and red peppers raise anti-histamine levels in the body. Anti-histamine is produced by an automated process to help fight allergic reactions, but unfortunately this can also cause flushing to those prone to rosacea.</p>
<p>Rosacea sufferers have noted allergic reactions to: vinegars, hot spices, citrus fruits, red plums, raisins, figs, pasta, cheese, and chocolates as being among the worst offenders. Vascular dilators such as hot drinks and hot foods should be allowed to cool before consuming.</p>
<p>The list of food allergies varies from individual to individual. However, you can devise and plan your own diet by recording the foods which cause your facial flushing and allergic reactions.</p>
<p><strong>Use sun block</strong></p>
<p>The sun is a major cause of rosacea flare-ups and skin irritation which affects 61% of rosacea sufferers. To protect against this, ensure a sun block with a high SPF factor of 30+ is applied especially to the face and other area before exposure to the sun.</p>
<p><strong>Avoid astringent soaps and cleansing agents</strong></p>
<p>Astringent soaps, and cleansing agents that contain alcohol only dry and irritate the skin by stripping the protective sebum oil coating. To rosacea prone people this skin irritation may lead to a rosacea flare-up/outbreak.</p>
<p>Alcohol based cleansing agents also shrink pores which can trap oil causing swelling, and as result lead to acne symptoms or cysts</p>
<p>Only a soothing moisturising cleaning solution that heals and nourishes the skin should be used, such as the skin treaments products for acne and rosacea recommended on this site.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://www.acne-rosacea-times.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/facialblushing.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1140" title="facialblushing" src="http://www.acne-rosacea-times.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/facialblushing.jpg" alt="facialblushing" width="170" height="170" /></a>Flushing is a frustrating and annoying experience that often has an impact on relationship and career building. It also often leads to a reduced self-confidence, self-esteem and an increased self-consciousness. However, the good news is, that blushing can be effectively controlled, reduced, and even prevented.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">This is achieved by using a combination of quality skin strengthening and anti-inflammatory products that target facial redness. Together with powerful techniques that provide you with the tools to remain calm, comfortable and relaxed in any given situation.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;"><strong>Firstly, Understanding Why We Blush</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Blushing is a natural automated bodily response to situations that are considered to be of danger. The increased blood flow prepares the person to either fight or flee from the dangerous situation.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">For people that blush easily, for example through embarrassment, the mind wrongly imagines an innocent social situation to be threatening or intimidating. Which of course will start the automated fight or flight response. Eventually, this can develop into what is known as a thinking trap, an emotional cycle that needs to be broken.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">For example, now close your eyes and imagine vividly that you are walking into a crowded room. You don&#8217;t know anyone. Everybody is staring at you, the room has suddenly gone quiet. They are waiting for you to say something. You panic, you don&#8217;t know what to say. Your heart is racing you feel your cheeks burning andyou can hear the blood rushing through the ears. You look down, afraid to make eye contact. The room feels hot, you have to get out&#8230;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">If you started feeling the signs of anxiety of actually being in that situation, you can see the how powerful, the imagination is. By learning the following powerful techniques you will be able to break these negative thinking traps, allowing you to remain calm and relaxed in these situations. Which of course will help to reduce, control or even prevent blushing.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><em>It is a fact that you cannot be embarrassed/anxious and calm and relaxed at the same time.</em></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong>Secondly, Everyone Blushes</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Yes, this is absolutely true. However, in some people it is not visible at all, and in others various degrees of redness are seen.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The reason that blushing is visible in some people, is that their blood capillaries are closer to the skin surface or their capillaries may be damaged or even weakened by, for example, from over exposure to the sun.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">However, blushing through physical activity is healthy a response and should be encouraged. This will lead to reduced stress and anxiety as well as a healthy circulation and stronger capillaries.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong>The Negative Psychological Consequences of Using Redness Cover-Up Creams</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">You may be already using one of the green tinted creams that aim to cover up redness. These creams are quite effective at reducing the appearance of redness, but ensure you use a quality product that is kind on sensitive cream – you don&#8217;t want to make the redness worse.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">However, an emotional dependency and total reliance to these creams can develop. As a result will have a profound impact on daily life – maybe you are experiencing some or all of the following.</p>
<ul>
<li>You avoid physical activities as you are worried sweat may wash away the cover-up cream.</li>
<li>You never leave your home without it, and panic when you forget it.</li>
<li>Emotional stress of concealing your blushing to new acquaintances.</li>
<li>Constantly paranoid that people can see that you are wearing a green tinted cover-up cream.</li>
<li>Hate the sun, humidity, rain, swimming, holidays or anything that can remove the cover-up.</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">We are not suggesting don&#8217;t use these as we know they can provide some comfort, especially to those who have a permanent bright red skin. On the other hand, we firmly believe that it is best to accept and tackle the root problems of blushing than trying to conceal it.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Easier said than done, I know But at least you won&#8217;t have to suffer the above emotional consequences of having to rely on temporary measures.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong>A Step by Step Guide To Control And Reduce Blushing Periods</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Before we start, I must add that there is no skin care cream or oral supplement that can prevent or control blushing.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">However, it is important to use a clinically proven topical cream/lotion that reduces inflammation, soothes, strengthens and nourishes the skins cells and capillary walls. As a result the skin becomes less sensitive to environmental factors that trigger blushing and the redness intensity becomes significantly less. All the information for these clinically proven topical treatments are found here.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">If these creams are used in combination with the following techniques, you will have the most powerful tools to control blushing.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong>Step 1. Acceptance, Announce it &#8211; Don&#8217;t Try And Hide It</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Accept that you blush. Don&#8217;t try and conceal it when it happens, that only makes the blushing worse. For example, you could say when it happens, “D<em>ammit, it&#8217;s happening again, my annoying red cheeks are flaring up for no reason.”</em></p>
<pre>
<object id='monFlash' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' data='http://www.acne-rosacea-times.com/wp-content/plugins/hana-flv-player/template_maxi_1.6.0/template_maxi/player_flv_maxi.swf' width='300' height='200'><param name='movie' value='http://www.acne-rosacea-times.com/wp-content/plugins/hana-flv-player/template_maxi_1.6.0/template_maxi/player_flv_maxi.swf' /><param name='allowFullScreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent'><param name='FlashVars' value='flv=http://www.acne-rosacea-times.com/wp-content/uploads/audio/how-to-stop-blushing.flv&amp;width=300&amp;height=200&amp;autoplay=&amp;autoload=1&amp;loop=&amp;showstop=1&amp;showvolume=1&amp;showtime=1&amp;showfullscreen=1&amp;srt=1' />

</object></pre>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">This way it is out in the open to you and all around, eliminating the stress of trying to look away or conceal it. I know this is easier said than done, but once you have said it, you have made a giant step towards controlling it.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Hypothetically speaking, if there happened to be a stage around and a blusher had the guts to climb upon it and shout out to the audience, “I&#8217;m a blusher.” he or she would probably never blush again!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong>Step 2. Practice This Calming Breathing Technique</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">This simple method focuses your mind onto your breathing and away from the fixation of your outward appearance and the expectation of blushing. This is not easy at the beginning but, with practice it will become natural and it will help to calm any embarrassing or anxious feelings that usually triggers blushing. Try practicing this breathing exercise in private to master it.</p>
<ul>
<li>Breathe in deeply to a silent count of four.</li>
<li>Hold your breath to a silent count of four.</li>
<li>Exhale to a silent count of four (expel all the air from lungs).</li>
<li>Repeat this process until the anxiety subsides.</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><strong>Steps 3 &amp; 4.  The Powerful Techniques of  Self-Hypnosis And NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming)<br />
 </strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">This is a very powerful technique for re-training the mind to be relaxed and comfortable in situations you normally blush in. Self -hypnosis is an effective method of building self-confidence, self-esteem other self-development and improvement needs and every imaginable phobia.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Self-hypnosis is a relaxed state of focused awareness that opens the subconscious mind. Once opened, the negative thoughts can be over written with fresh new positive ones, leading to a better way of thinking. Self-hypnosis is now considered to be an effective clinically proven treatment, that is now endorsed by the medical profession.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://www.acne-rosacea-times.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/hgh-clinical-results-150x150.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-989" title="hgh-clinical-results-150x150" src="http://www.acne-rosacea-times.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/hgh-clinical-results-150x150.jpg" alt="hgh-clinical-results-150x150" width="150" height="150" /></a>The web is currently teeming with a plethora of rosacea treatments embellished by articles that have been re-spun a thousand times, a form of word laundering of pandemic proportions.</p>
<p>There is nothing wrong with extracting factual information from authoritative sites and re-creating a wholly new article to suit the marketing needs of your own product. However, to mislead a sufferer who is looking for an honest solution, by manipulating the factual information creating a fantasy of expected results, is plainly unkind.</p>
<p>During my quest and intensely desperate search for a working treatment, I encountered this vast array of  rosacea products, some claiming such amazing results, that they appeared to be miracle cures of almost biblical proportions.</p>
<p><strong style="font-size: 12pt;">The True Facts of Rosacea Are </strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong> </strong> It cannot be cured. Rosacea symptoms can be managed and significantly reduced with the right treatment.</li>
<li>Rosacea can be prevented if treated early and the appropriate lifestyle changes taken avoiding the causes that trigger these Rosacea outbreaks and flare-ups</li>
</ul>
<p>Rosacea treatments that are applied in the comfort of your own home can be divided into two categories: prescription and non-prescription.<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong style="font-size: 12pt;">Rosacea Prescription Treatments</strong></p>
<p>As the name suggests, these can only be obtained via a certified medical practitioner&#8217;s prescription. However, I have found that there are disreputable online pharmacies who sell these without a prescription. There is a reason why these treatments require a medical prescription: the side effects can be severe. Notably the recent tragic death of a Welsh teenager that hit the headlines, who was using a prescribed acne treatment.</p>
<p><strong style="font-size: 12pt;">An Abundance of Non-Prescription Rosacea Treatments</strong></p>
<p>This group is by far the largest, most of which fall into the sub-category &#8216; All-Natural Botanical Rosacea Products.&#8217;  These natural products often contain essences or extracts from flowers, herbs, fruits  and a plethora of other exotic natural  ingredients.</p>
<p>So before you contemplate buying one of these All-Natural rosacea products ensure that it has been  endorsed by the medical profession. It has proven clinical results. And it has a gained seal of approval from a Governmental Authority such as the U.S. Food And Drug Administration(FDA)  or equivalent authorities in your appropriate country.</p>
<p><strong style="font-size: 12pt;">Your Final Choice</strong></p>
<p>Your final selection procedure is to select products that come with satisfaction money back guarantees; the longer the better. The reason being that it usually takes more than a month before you see any visible results. So it is usual that companies that guarantee their products offer 60 days or more.</p>
<p>Now you have shortlisted your selection you need to make a final choice. Lowest rice we do not believe should be the deciding factor. We consider customer reviews from an independent review site should be the key to making your decision.</p>
<p style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Do Not Become Disillusioned If Your Choice Fails</strong></p>
<p style="font-size: 12px;">Get your money back and try something new such as your second choice. Each person is unique so what works on one person may not work on you.</p>
<p style="font-size: 12px;"> </p>
<p style="font-size: 12px;">*We always suggest if you are suffering from a skin disorder you should seek a professional diagnosis from a  Doctor or Dermatologist. This advice on this site is not aimed to replace that.</p>
