Allopathic medicine as we know it, aka going to the GP for a prescription, has only been around for 100 years. Before that, it seems that life was healthier and also a lot less past paces than today. Our grandmothers never had cellulite and aged a lot better than we are. We need to investigate where ancient wisdom made a change, and reintroduce it to our make it part of our daily lives.
Yoga:
No surprise here, but Yoga stems from Indian Culture. Yoga gained popularity in the Western World during the 80’s, but it is a way of life for most people in the East. It is literally a life discipline, where slow rhythmic movements combined with deep breathing is used to improve flexibility, but also to focus the mind and relax the muscles and tissues. This is done daily, and surely explains why those who practice Yoga are much more agile with a skip in their step!
Brushing your teeth and flossing is considered new age when you compare how long we have been cleaning our teeth like this to how it used to be done by our forefathers. Swirling oil, much like a mouthwash, has a great effect on dental care and can reach where brushing and flossing can’t. Bacteria and plaque are oil-soluble particles, and literally melts into the oil when you swirl it. It also pulls toxins from the body through one of your most important detox organs, the tongue. The benefits of Oil Pulling also gives you fresher breath for longer, so no need to chew gum for hours on end to mask any odours!
Cupping Therapy
This ancient practice is one of the first medical treatments to come into existence but is unfortunately seen as alternative medicine since the last 100 years. A specific cup is placed on an area of concern and left stationary for a certain amount of minutes.
You have probably seen some celebrities flashing their own set of cup marks (or we call them cup kisses) on their backs such as Jennifer Aniston, David and Victoria Beckham, Gwyneth Paltrow and many more. These cup kisses are an indication of toxicity in the body and the treatment is aimed at removing toxins from the body as these cause problems such as pain, ageing, inflammation and even cellulite.
There are some great home systems available such as the Bellabaci Cupping Massage System, which are convenient hand-squeezed vacuum suction cups. Get yours HERE!
