A great way to promote the menstrual cycle is aromatherapy as likely to contribute to its restoration and regularization. Some of the oils that are very useful to address this problem are: basil, carrot seed, chamomile, sage, cypress, geranium, fennel, hyssop, juniper, marjoram, myrrh, parsley, mint, rose, rosemary and thyme.

An effective treatment for amenorrhea is a combination of the previously mentioned oils and place six drops in your bath daily. As an example, we offer the following mixture: 2 drops of sage, 2 drops of cypress, marjoram and 2 drops rose 1 drop.

Other mixtures can also apply for a massage in the abdomen that allows you to feel relieved and also an excellent treatment for amenorrhea. Practice it daily for a month.

To apply, proceed to dilute any of the two combinations in 20 ml of base oil.

Nature Cell Biology has published a study by the University of Tsukuba in Japan in which states have discovered an enzyme capable of preventing breast cancer metastasis.

The SRC-3 gene regulatory enzyme present in CHIP can prevent breast cancer spreading to other organs. Thus, this catalyst stops the spread of cancer and prevents other areas being affected

The test consisted of Tsukuba University in the administration of this enzyme in mice and the results were that his presence would stop the spread of cancer and encouraged his absence.

As we know the mortality caused by breast cancer is mainly because it spreads through the rest of the body without control. But with this discovery could be facing a new beginning in the treatment of this disease.

Are detected each year one million new cases of women with breast cancer and 400 000 die at the same time because of this evil.

The armchair is one of the worst enemies of the elderly. Except that it is the seat of a treadmill designed to do resistance exercises.

There is abundant evidence that aerobic activities are great for the brain of the elderly, but the benefits of lifting weights have been much less explored. We now know that older women who do this kind of training experience an improvement in cognitive functions. And this has been shown in females between 65 and 70 years who had not previously practiced. The work demonstrates just published in Archives of Internal Medicine.

The results are striking, since this is a clinical trial of 12 months duration, conducted in a controlled manner. Participants were divided into three groups. The first two made-legged endurance exercise once or twice a week. The third party executed only gym toning and balance. The researchers measured the cognitive abilities of all of them at baseline, after six months and one year. Read the rest of this entry »

Australian scientists have developed a surgical technique that could allow women suffering from breast cancer regenerate their breasts after a mastectomy, as reported by the Institute of Microsurgery ‘Bernard O’Brien’ of Melbourne (Australia) where he investigates the new technique.

The procedure, which could begin human trials within three to six months, involves inserting a breast-shaped chamber, which contains a sample of adipose tissue of women under the skin of the chest. This infiltration is connected to a blood vessel adipose tissue, allowing this to grow and fill the chamber in an estimated period of six to eight months.

From the center, the operations director, Dr. Phillip Marzelle, said today that it is launching a “test prototype” in the coming months that may be implemented through a “proof of principle” with five or six women, so you can see that the body can regenerate its own supply of fat in the chest.

In addition, plans to build within two years a camera biodegradable dissolved when full. “We have proven in several animal models, so we have made sufficient preclinical testing to be sure now to give way to human trials,” he said. Read the rest of this entry »
