What is Rosacea?

Rosacea

What is rosacea? 

Rosacea is an inflammatory disorder of the skin. Irritations such as the sun, alcohol, spicy foods or extreme changes in temperature can cause rosacea to flair up and become uncomfortable. Depending on the grade of rosacea  (there are four grades of rosacea... Grades 1-4, four being the worst and most disfiguring)  indicate how long and severe the flair ups occur.

How do I know if I have rosacea?

People react differently to rosacea. Some may be more sensitive than others. Yvette Terrie with health.usnews.com explains it in the following subtypes:
  • Subtype 1: Persistent facial redness and flushing occurs.
  • Subtype 2: Persistent redness, bumps, pimples and raised patches become visible across the nose, cheeks, chin and forehead.
  • Subtype 3: Thickening of the skin occurs, especially around the nose.
  • Subtype 4: The eyelids become swollen and inflamed. Eyes may appear bloodshot or irritated, and may present with a burning or stinging sensation.

What can be done?

Your best friend is sunscreen! Professional care and assessment can put you on the right home care protocol and assist in controlling rosacea. Grades 3 and 4 really need to be under doctor supervision. This skin disorder can progress with age or extreme environments. As mentioned above it can become disfiguring or even spread to the eyes (ocular rosacea). 
Use only non-irritating and hypoallergenic cleansers, lotions, and makeup. Use a soft and gentle touch when applying anything to the affected area.

If you believe that you may have rosacea, visit with your dermatologist or local skin care professional. Early treatment can keep symptoms at bay!

Change Your Water... Change Your Life

 

Enagic Kangen Water

Change Your Water... Change Your Life

 

Here at CopperLeaf, we believe in whole wellness! Why not start with the substance that makes up 50%-70% of your body? Not only will this help with wellness, but imagine if you could replace all of your household chemical cleaners with water! That's right - WATER!

 First off, what is Kangen water?

If you look at their website at www.enagic.com, they will tell you it is a type of electrolyzed water with an electron potential containing sodium hydroxide produced by the anodes (plates in the machine) . In general, the pH is over 11.0.
For those that don't wear the pants of science :
Simply put, it is giving you water loaded with antioxidants and making it highly alkaline.

How does this benefit you?

  • Cancer
  • High Cholesterol
  • Athletic Joint Pain
  • Anti-Aging
  • Colon Cleanse
  • Arthritis
  • Diabetes
  • Allergies
  • Overweight
  • Osteoporosis
  • High Blood Pressure
Do any of these among this SMALL list grab your attention? We can't make the claim to completely cure or treat any of these. HOWEVER, there is a LARGE body of evidence that supports the idea that the body with the correct alkaline/acid balance is better equipped to fight off just about anything. ;) The machine produces water that is more easily absorbed than other water because the clusters are smaller. It helps clean the body while providing balance to the immune system. Kangen water also burns fat and fights against the effects of aging. Many people report that the daily use of this water also helps the digestive system.

Water, a disinfectant?

Not only is this water good to just drink, but the stronger pH is ideal for washing vegetables, meat and fish! It is also a great tenderizer! The more acidic water it produces is perfect for cleaning stove tops, cutting board, knives, and dishes, bathrooms and removing stubborn stains including grease! Strong acidic water has extraordinary disinfecting properties. As testimony to its power, 2.5pH water is used in many top Japanese hospitals to sterilize operating rooms and surgical equipment!

Beauty water does what?

The beauty water is a strong astringent that cleans and closes the pores! Beauty water will soften and tone your skin diminishing "age spots" and blemishes! Dryness, skin rashes, acne and many other problems will improve dramatically!

...In Conclusion

By simply changing your water, you will be able to bring your body closer to the pH balance that is needed for ideal health!

Come in to the spa and ask for a drinking sample of the water and test it out for yourself! We offer it to all of our guests, either by the cup full or our gallon jugs we have to purchase. I am skipping out and just buying the machine on Friday! I can't wait! No more cleaning chemicals in my home! Healthy family, Happy life! Please leave us any questions or comments you have on this amazing miracle water!
