​CBD is a molecule that is found in the cannabis plant. It has been found to have many benefits, such as anti-inflammatory and anti-anxiety properties. It stands for cannabidiol and it is one of the most important substances in cannabis. It’s extracted from hemp plants and other parts of the cannabis plant, including the flowers, leaves, or stems. CBD can be used to help people with chronic pain, epilepsy, Parkinson's, Chron disease, insomnia, anxiety disorders, depression, and much more.  

​CBD is a cannabis extract that does not contain "THC", the psychoactive component of marijuana that produces the “high” effect. The usual formulation of CBD is oil, but can also be sold as an extract, a vaporized liquid with an oil-based capsule. Others include such as foods, drinks, and also beauty products which are CBD-infused.

Scientists are still learning about how CBD affects the body. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)  approved Epidiolex, a medicine that contains purified CBD from hemp, to help treat rare seizure disorders. The FDA has concluded that this drug is safe and effective for this intended use. CBD can also be obtained from medical cannabis dispensaries in some states or physicians may prescribe CBD for other uses. 

Research has established that acne is an inflammatory condition. Although multiple factors trigger acne, we know that anything you apply to skin that can reduce inflammation and help soothe skin. CBD is likely to visibly reduce breakouts, especially acne-related redness. Numerous studies have shown that CBD oil has anti-inflammatory benefits when applied to the skin. This makes CBD a suitable ingredient for acne-prone skin, while its calming benefits help reactive skin look and feel better.

The antioxidants in CBD are one way topical use helps lessen the visible signs of aging. By preventing free-radical damage and reducing the look of inflammation, CBD anti-aging creams visibly diminish issues like wrinkles, skin dullness, and ruddy skin tone. Its significant skin-calming and skin-normalizing effects can help minimize issues related to skin sensitivity, including redness and reactivity. Since all skin types are affected daily by environmental stressors, CBD’s soothing mechanism can help keep everyone’s skin in check.

Massage is a general term for pressing, rubbing and manipulating your skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Massage may range from light stroking to deep pressure. It's generally considered part of integrative medicine.

Massage therapy has been found to be effective in reducing pain and increasing range of motion. It is also helpful in relieving stress and anxiety. It can also be applied as a preventative measure to help decrease the risk for certain diseases such as heart disease and stroke and others.

​A frequent misunderstanding about massage is that it's only part of a spa day and intended for pampering yourself. While this may be true for some people, it is most frequently a tool for stress reduction and pain relief.

Some specific conditions that massage can help include:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Digestive disorders
• Fibromyalgia
• Headache
• Insomnia
• Nerve pain
• Postoperative care
• Scar tissue
• Soft tissue strains and injuries
• Sports injuries
• Temporomandibular (TMJ) disorders

Physical benefits of massage include:

• Improved circulation
• Decreased muscle stiffness
• Decreased joint inflammation
• Better quality of sleep
• Quicker recovery between workouts
• Improved flexibility
• Less pain and soreness
• Strengthened immune response

​It's normal to feel relaxed, tired or even sore after a massage. This is because your muscles are being worked by the massage therapist. After a massage, it may feel like you completed a workout. It is possible to experience a headache or nausea after a massage. Some people think that massage must hurt to help. But a massage doesn't need to be painful to be effective.

Massage also has many mental health benefits. People who are also focused on the physical benefits say they feel less stressed after getting a massage due to the stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for its rest and relaxation response.

Other mental benefits include:

• Lower stress levels
• Improved relaxation
• Improved mood
• Decreased anxiety
• More energy
• Increase feeling of wellness

​Thai massage is a form of therapeutic massage that is different from a traditional anti-stress massage. It is usually performed by lying on a mat or massage bed while the therapist stretches and controls your body in certain techniques to stimulate your muscles and pressure points similar to Japanese massage.

Thai massage in Thai language means “ancient massage” and some translates to “ancient healing way.” Thai massage founder has been believed to be Chiwaka Komaraphat, who’s thought of being the Buddha’s physician over 2,500 years ago, in the ancient Buddhist texts. He’s also believed to be having exceptional medical skills with the knowledge of herbal medicine, having treated many people in his time. 

However, the history of Thai massage is more complex with influences from Indian and Southeast Asian traditions of medicine, with the massage techniques practiced and formed over time from various traditions over the kingdoms. There are many variations from region to region in Thailand which are being practiced and not a single theoretical structure that is widely known. 

In a traditional Thai massage, no oils are used however this differs to the practitioner and therapist or guests desire in addition, you can wear loose-fitting clothes, or the practitioner may have you change into scrub-like garments, a loose cotton top and drawstring pants. Thai massage practitioners use their hands, thumbs, elbow, forearms, and feet to reduce tension in your muscles. Like Japanese massages’ “qi” meridians, Thai massage is based on the idea that energy flows through your body along predictable lines or pathways known as “sens.” To increase the sens, the practitioner or therapist will move your body into stretching or yoga-like positions to pull and extend your muscles in different ways. This combination of techniques is what distinguishes Thai massage from other techniques and types of massages. Thai massage may be a good choice of massage for you if you like energetic, deep tissue techniques where you also move and engage more instead of lying throughout the massage. 

Back Pains

Thai massage is an effective, non pharmaceutical way of reducing back pains. In a study, researchers studied the effects of Thai massage on a group of people with low back pain. Half of the group was treated with Thai massage techniques and the other half was treated with conventional ways such as joint mobilisation, hot packs and stretching. Both groups had significant pain relief which proved that Thai massage reduced back pain related to trigger points, tight muscle clusters in the upper and lower back.

Joint stiffness and pain

Thai massage may improve your joint function if you experience pain and stiffness when you move. Thai massage can also improve your joint function if you are experiencing pain and stiffness when you move around. In a study, researchers tested the effectiveness of Thai massage on groups of people with knee arthritis. The study resulted in participants feeling less pain when walking. 

Flexibility 

Thai massage has techniques of compression, acupressure and stretching which improves range of motion in your joints and muscles. Regular Thai massage would ultimately help your posture.The various stretching and pressure applied to the body also improves blood flow and oxygen supply to your muscles which in return, help reduce pain and muscle stiffness. Thai massage is recommended especially for athletes to improve their general speed and agility.

Headaches

If you are experiencing headaches or migraines, Thai massage is also another non pharmaceutical solution. In small studies, Thai massage has been shown to reduce the intensity of migraine and tension headaches. 

Thai massage has effects on the circulatory system so you should make sure to check with your doctor before you schedule a massage also if you have:

• heart disease or coronary artery disease
• high blood pressure
• conditions that affect your spine, including osteoporosis and neurological diseases
• diabetes
• recent surgery
• open wounds
• cancer
• Thai massage isn’t recommended for pregnant women.

​Black Friday is an informal phrase for the Friday After Thanksgiving in the United States. It is usually the start of the Christmas shopping season. Generally, many stores around start to offer promoted sales at discounted prices, they also tend to open earlier than usual. Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving, in 2022, Black Friday will be on November 25th. 

​

The first Black Friday occurred in 1869 after financier Jay Gould and railway businessman James Fisk attempted to corner the gold market, which ultimately resulted in financial panic and the collapse of the market. A little over 60 years later, on October 29, 1929, another stock market crash referred to as Black Tuesday marked the onset of the Great Depression.

The Black Friday which we know of today lies in the sense of “black” meaning “marked by disaster or misfortune.” This term began in the 1950s, when the factory managers first began using the phrase after their workers started to call in sick, ultimately extending the holiday weekend. 10 years later, the phrase was used again by Philadelphia traffic police to describe the day due to their 12-hour shifts. People flooded the city to start their holiday shopping and sometimes this clashed with Army-Navy football games. The term became popular among shoppers and merchants in Philadelphia, eventually, it spread nationwide. 

​Usually the Black Friday sales start at the same time, online and in stores, shoppers may find many special discounted prices. To attract shoppers, retailers may not even make a profit due to the prices being so low. Numerous major retailers post their Black Friday ads, coupons and offers online prior to giving people time to find out and plan their purchases. Every retailer has their own approach to their Black Friday advertisement and offers to keep the customers checking for announcements.  

You may also enjoy Black Friday at Carisma Spa & Wellness with double value gift vouchers/cards. Whether you like it physical or digital, you may create your gift card  from the gifts or Black Friday page on our website. With the amount purchased, you may relax in the Spa or have treatments such as massages, hammam treatments, facials, body care and MFU. You may also check our products on home care or choose to have a customised Spa Day & Couple packages. 

Time to time, especially when life gets busy and stressful, everyone has moments of forgetfulness. Having a poor memory can always be frustrating although it can be a normal thing. There are various factors that play a role in memory loss, such as genetics, neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and Dementia. However, lifestyle and diet have also a major role in memory too.

• Exercise​

Exercise is important for overall mental and physical well being. Researchers at the University of British Columbia showed that aerobic exercise actually increases the size of the hippocampus, the part of the brain associated with memory storage. Other studies have shown that exercise can increase the production of neuroprotective proteins and boost the growth and development of neurons which leads to better brain health. Even an average amount of exercise for short periods can improve memory, cognitive performance in all age groups.

• Get Enough Sleep

Research shows that if you are sleep deprived, you could be negatively impacting your memory. Poor memory has been linked to lack of proper sleep because sleep is an important factor in memory processing in which short-term memories are boosted and changed into long-lasting memories. The body heals and recharges itself during sleep and the brain gets rid of toxins, which researchers found to lower the risk of Alzheimer's. It is recommended to get 7 to 9 hours of sleep for all adults.

• Healthy Diet

​Eating healthy is not only important for your physical health, but your mental health too. Try to eat fruits, vegetables, low-fat protein sources, such as fish, beans and skinless poultry. What you drink counts, too, which means too much alcohol can lead to confusion and memory loss, so can drug use. Studies have shown that people who consumed fruits and vegetables had a lower risk of memory decline and dementia compared to people who ate less nutritious foods. 

• Stay mentally active
  

Like physical exercise helps keep your body fit, mental exercises or mentally stimulating activities may help your brain keep in shape and prevent memory loss. These activities could be new things you have not done or things that you do not usually do. Try reading, doing puzzles, playing cards or computer games. You may also volunteer at a local charity or school or take different routes when driving. Learn to play a musical instrument that you always wanted to but never did. Trying out new activities or learning things will help you with your memory.

It is recommended to check with your doctor if you're worried about memory loss, especially if memory loss affects your ability to complete your usual daily activities or if you notice your memory getting worse. The doctor will likely do a physical exam, as well as check your memory and problem-solving skills. Doctors recommend managing chronic conditions such as depression, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity and hearing loss. The better you take care of yourself, the better your memory is likely to be. In addition, review your medications with your doctor regularly.

Lumpy and uneven skin on hips, thighs or buttocks is usually a sign of cellulite. Cellulite generally develops when the skin in certain areas of fat is pulled downward to the deeper tissues from tissue bands that are connected, which then creates an uneven, rough skin surface. Due to the connective tissue division, fat and muscle,  cellulite affects women more than men which is around 80 to 90 percent of women, however cellulite is not dangerous or painful. Cellulite can be found commonly on hips, thighs, abdomen, breasts, buttocks.

The buildup of fat underneath the skin is what causes the cellulite and some women are more influenced by it than others. Number of cellulite and how noticeable it is can depend on the genes, body fat, age, and thickness of the skin. Women with all body types can get cellulite and it is more common in females than males which is due to the distribution of fat being more visible in women. The appearance of the cellulite is usually due to collagen fibres between the skin and muscles separating the fat into multiple pockets. This reveals the rippled connective tissues underneath the skin. This is also because the skin loses elasticity and it becomes thinner as you age, however, cellulite can be caused also by hormones, poor diet, unhealthy lifestyle, increased toxins, genetics, weight gain and pregnancy.

The visibility of cellulite can be reduced by topical treatments however, the effects may not be long lasting. The skin appears smoother and firmer by applying creams which makes the skin tighter and also adds moisture. These kinds of creams should be applied regularly to reduce the visibility of cellulite. Due to the fat cells still existing beneath the skin, creams cannot remove the cellulite but temporarily lessen the appearance. 

Caffeine is a common ingredient in topical cellulite treatment creams. It increases blood flow to the area and also works as a diuretic, to increase the amount of water and salt expelled from the body as urine. That can change the water content of the fat which can reduce the visibility of cellulite.

Creams or products that contain 0.3 retinol may also reduce the appearance of cellulite by helping to thicken the outer layer of the skin. Like other topical products, you have to be applying it regularly to see the results. You have to keep in mind that retinol can cause skin sensitivities such as dryness, redness, peeling and sensitivity to the sun. Cellulite cream was shown notable results when it was combined with personal dietary recommendations. Study found out that the cream appeared to amplify the benefits of dietary control in reducing the appearance of cellulite marks.

Cryolipolysis or also known as CoolSculpting, is a noninvasive procedure which removes cellulite by freezing the fat cells under the skin. This leads to the body absorbing the fat contents due the breaking of the fat cells. To dissolve an inch of fat takes several treatments which may take 3 or 4 months to see a visible reduction in cellulite. 

• Cellulaze

• Acoustic wave therapy

This treatment was developed to reduce cellulite and it works by vibrating the connective tissue in areas of the body vulnerable to cellulite. This helps to stimulate and increase collagen production, improving the appearance, texture, and elasticity of the skin. Several treatments are needed in order to see results.

Exercise can help you reduce body fat, which makes cellulite less noticeable. Choose an exercise program that combines aerobic exercise and strength training this way can will help you burn body fat, and tone and define your muscles. A body that is more muscular will look and feel smoother and firmer.

Dry brushing technique is said to stimulate blood and lymph flow, remove dead skin cells, and stimulate new cell growth. It may support detoxification and stimulate your nervous system.

Your diet may affect cellulite, so it’s important to eat a balanced, healthy diet. A healthy diet can also help you to maintain a healthy weight. Reduce processed and high-sugar foods that can lead to the accumulation of toxins and fat in the body, and increase your fibre intake.

Dehydration can make cellulite more noticeable. Water flushes your body and removes toxins that can cause cellulite. Make a point to increase your water intake. It’s recommended that women drink at least nine cups of water each day.

Important part of your well-being is heavily connected to your mental health which determines the way you are able to function psychologically, emotionally, and socially among other people. It is important to follow a certain aspect of lifestyle to improve your psychological health considering how much role mental wellbeing can affect the way we behave and interact. There are various circumstances that affect mental health which can be the risk factors. It is usually described that a state of well-being is how a person is able to cope with the normal stresses of life which can disrupt daily activities we engage in and how we are managing the changes in our life.

​Poor and unhealthy lifestyle can be the first example of poor mental health. Things such as smoking, poor diet, excessive alcohol consumption, substance use can cause harm to your psychological behaviour. This type of lifestyle can cause depression and anxiety which is a sign of poor mental wellbeing. 

​Environment is also a big factor in your mental wellbeing which can be everything from the house, city, weather in your area, the social climate and work environment. These environments can have a negative factor that affects you which can cause stress, depression and anxiety therefore it is important to either change location or live in a positive social environment which can improve your mental health. 

Number of mental health disorders can run in the family which can be passed down to the children. These conditions include autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, depression, and schizophrenia.

Another cause of developing a mental health disorder is linked to children who have been sexually abused, experienced physical and emotional assault, these can lead to severe mental and emotional distress. Children may eventually deal with substance and alcohol issues later in their life or have mental disorders like depression, high anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, or personality disorders. 

Mental health is also linked to personal feelings and how a person deals with oneself. Self-esteem plays a big role in mental wellness because confidence can be a good sign of a healthy mental state. Person whose mental health is healthy is more likely to focus on the good and positive side they possess. By maintaining and focusing on the good things you will strive for a healthier and happier life. Changing the way of thinking and having a positive mindset can improve your work productivity and social relationship which will eventually boost your mental health. 

By engaging in certain activities may also help you cope and change your lifestyle to aid in your mental wellness. Maintaining a good mental health is important to general wellness. Physical exercise can play an important role in mental well-being and can even relieve symptoms of mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. While the physical health benefits of exercise are frequently discussed, the link between exercise and mental health is often overlooked. Studies suggest that physical exercise may help avoid mental health problems before they start or help cope with them.

Not getting enough sleep can worsen mental health and cause mental distress, especially in people with existing mental health conditions. Keeping a consistent sleep schedule and having enough sleep can improve mental and general health. 

​Massage or Massage treatments are usually a great way to decrease stress and anxiety because of relaxation of the body which is good for mental health. All kinds of massages are good for stress relief, anxiety and depression. Carisma Spa & Wellness recommends Anti-Stress Massage for stress related problems, the therapist uses a special anti-stress oil that releases tensions. Massage therapies not only reduce Cortisol, it also increases serotonin and dopamine which is the body's feel-good chemicals. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that regulates mood, hunger, and sleep and a general sense of well-being. Turkish Bath or hammam is another great way of releasing toxins and stress from your body which is usually done with body exfoliation and foam massage on a heated marble.

​Mental wellbeing generally is important for maintaining a positive and healthy lifestyle because it is correlated with how we behave psychologically, emotionally, and socially among other people. Keeping a healthy lifestyle and having certain activities that release stress and anxiety problems will help us keep a healthy mind. 

​People often think that bags under eyes are a cosmetic concern, however, they usually do not require a medical procedure or treatment to get rid of them. Everyday home and lifestyle tips and treatments may help reduce the swelling under the eyes. There are surely medical and surgical treatments that exist for this issue, although you would  have to check with your doctor if you have an allergy which may also explain why the swelling might be the reason. 

There are different wrinkle treatments which can improve the swelling and puffiness under the eyes. These treatments include chemical peels and fillers which can improve the tone, tighten and rejuvenate the skin around the area where swelling occurs. Laser resurfacing is another way of getting rid of the bags, wrinkles and uneven skin tone under the eyes. It uses two types of lasers called Ablative laser and Non-blative laser. Ablative laser removes the thin outer layer of skin (epidermis) and heats the underlying skin (dermis), which stimulates the growth of collagen, a protein that improves skin firmness and texture. As the epidermis heals and regrows, the treated area appears smoother and tighter. Non-Ablative procedure also restores collagen growth but the results are less noticeable but has a shorter recovery time. It is usually done with pulsed-dye laser, erbium and intense pulsed light therapy.

Eyelid surgery also known as Blepharoplasty, is another option of treatment for the under eye bags. By consulting to the surgeon, he or she will choose the best procedure for your anatomy and needs. The procedure is usually done by removing the excess fat through an incision on the upper eyelid or inside the lower lid. The surgery will be done under local anaesthesia and this surgery may also be an option if you have baggy or droopy upper eyelids, excess skin of the upper eyelids that interferes with your vision or the baggy under eyes.

• Sleep issues

Getting not enough sleep can cause blood vessels to leak and combine with the fluids which leads to dark circles, because when you are asleep these fluids settle in the tissue beneath the eyes. You should get the proper amount of sleep your age and body needs then you will be able to see the changes under your eyes.

• Allergies/sinus problems

Allergies can be the leading cause why your eyes might look puffy because allergies cause swelling in sinus tissue. Also, getting proper medical treatment for your allergies will help reduce swelling in your sinuses and beneath your eyes.

• Tobacco use

Fluids can settle under your eyes too because of nicotine use which also disturbs your natural sleep pattern. Smoking may also cause substances that interrupt the collagen and elasticity of the skin that keep the area beneath the eyes firm.

• Alcohol use

Although alcohol is a liquid, it dehydrates the body. When you are dehydrated, the skin under your eyes becomes flabby and weak, causing bags to form. By reducing the alcohol intake, you will also reduce the bags under your eyes.

• Ageing

The muscles and tissues weaken as you age and the fat that naturally supports the eyes can sink beneath the area of eyes, which is why the eyes will appear baggy. Eventually, the fluids can also appear more in the area.

• Eating salty foods

When you eat salty food, your body develops more fluids and beneath the eye area is where these fluids appear. Try to eat less salty food to prevent under eye bags and this is also good for your heart as well.

• Not removing makeup

If you don’t remove makeup before going to sleep, it can irritate the tissue beneath your eyes, causing it to swell. It is good to wash your face before going to sleep if you use makeup, makeup can irritate the tissue beneath the eyes which can cause swelling. Wash your face with soap or cleansers carefully, you may also apply eye creams for night use.

• Too much sun

Staying in the sun too much or tanning a lot may also damage the skin cells and the collagen that keeps the skin firm. Use the right amount of sunscreen as often as suggested, and limit the amount of time you spend in direct sunlight. You can also wear sunglasses and a hat to help protect the skin beneath your eyes. 

• Heredity

If your family has under eye bags, it means it runs in the family and chances are that you will too, but that is normal as some people are prone to having them. Try to apply eye or wrinkle creams, this might help you tighten the skin. 

We may also recommend some of our marine extract products by Phytomer on face care which is an effective solution for under eye bags because of its natural ingredients. Below you may find some of the products we offer at Carisma Spa & Wellness.
