The Vestibular System

Anatomy of the Vestibular System.

Having often mentioned my daughters weakened Vestibular System I thought it a good idea to perhaps explain what this system is and how it helps us.  Having discovered her weaknesses has helped unveil some of mine and make the changes necessary for strengthening my already weakened system. 
Do you ever feel your feet are not quite on the ground, or life becomes one big sensory overload?  You perhaps cant always find the appropriate words to express yourself or an idea.  You are basically just functioning on auto pilot!

"The vestibular system in the brain does more than just allow us to stand upright, maintain balance and move through space.  It coordinates information from the vestibular organs in the inner ear, the eyes, muscles and joints, fingertips and palms of the hands, pressors on the soles of the feet, jaw, and gravity receptors on the skin and adjusts heart rate and blood pressure, muscle tone, limb position, immune responses, arousal and balance.

Dysfunctions in the vestibular system can cause anxiety or panic attacks, a need for self-stimulation, abnormalities in muscle tone, difficulty defecating, teeth grinding and chin tapping, hand flapping, academic problems, drooling, etc. Exercises that activate a wide range of inputs to the vestibular system have been found to be effective in reducing or eliminating vestibular problems. The ability to maintain balance depends on information that the brain receives from three different sources: the eyes, the muscles and joints, and the vestibular organs in the inner ears. All three of these sources send information in the form of nerve impulses from sensory receptors, special nerve endings, to your brain.

When the vestibular apparatus on both sides of the head are functioning properly, they send symmetrical impulses to the brain. That is, the impulses coming from the right side conform to the impulses coming from the left side.

Make Water Better

Had to share this very aesthetic design to inspire you to drink 'better' water and save the planet at the same time!
Yesterday I bought myself and my girls a bobble.  "This revolutionary product takes care of the planet, keeps your body hydrated, your wallet fat and your taste  buds satisfied - all while looking good doing it.
bobble will change the way you drink."

It is made from recycled PET(RPET) is 100% recyclable and free of Phthalates.
Better tasting, healthy water at a fraction of the cost of bottled water.
bobble's carbon based filter removes organic contaminants from regular municipal tap water and meets or exceeds NSF International Standard 42 for chlorine, tase and odor reduction. 
For best results one would change the filter after 2 months or 40 gallons.150 litres.

Warning:  Do not use where water is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality.
Not dishwasher safe.

Skin Analysis Event - Friday 30th September

IIAA Skin Analysis Event - Friday 30th September 2011

Skin Analysis Event Set to Get Under the Skin of Women and Men…

Have you ever wondered how your skin compares to others of your own age or how you might look in a few years time, without some serious intervention?  A high tech skin analysis technique is coming to Carley Harrison in London W3 for a one day event on Friday 30^th September that will reveal all that’s good and bad about your skin. 

A skin analyst from IIAA (International Institute of Anti Ageing) will be on hand to provide free 45 minute consultations.  She uses powerful Visia imaging technology to capture information and assess common problem areas, such as sun damage, brown pigmentation blemishes, capillary damage, wrinkles, scars or imperfections and congested pores. 

She will be identifying goals for treatments and offering solutions to overcome niggling complexion concerns and take years off your appearance, without the need to go under the knife. The skin advisor recommends products for use at home, salon treatments as well as dietary and lifestyle advice, which are aimed at giving the individual clearer, more radiant, even toned, smoother and less lined skin. 

The machine’s camera provides a series of images which reveal the extent of each problem and attributes a ‘score’.  After several months on the recommended IIAA range of cosmeceuticals, nutraceuticals and mineral make up. (Environ, Advanced Nutrition Programme and Jane Iredale), one can return for another review with the Visia to see the improved results from their first visit.

 “By using this sophisticated system we can now prove to our clients that using active skincare products, nutraceuticals and following our advice makes a measurable and visible difference.  We can even artificially ‘age’ your skin to show how you could look in five years without proper skincare.”  Carley Harrison.

Places are limited to only 8 persons, so for this unique experience and opportunity for your skin to be assessed by Environ’s own Skin Analysis expert we require a £20 booking fee to secure your place.  This is redeemable with products purchased or treatments booked on the day.

To reserve your place please kindly email me carleyharrison@btinternet.com

For any enquiries telephone:  020 8 762 9999   Mobile:  0796 76 70869
