SOME INTERESTING INFORMATION AND COMMENTS FROM THE NET ABOUT A LOT OF MATTERS

The Sexual Zones In the Body Of a Women

By Knut Holt

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

A woman has many erogenous zones at various parts of her body that you can use to play with and make good for her during foreplay, during the

main sexual act and in a relaxed way afterwards. Learn about them here and how they can be handled.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

buttocks,rectum,vagina,labia
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The whole body of a woman is sexually sensitive, but she also has some specific zones you can use to tease her up sexually with during foreplay,

and also during intercourse. And the same zones can be used to make it good for her when she is relaxing after the main act. To some extent

these zones are at the same place as corresponding zones in a man, so a man can partly use things he knows about sensual zones in his own

body to guide himself.

It is often wise to play with the different spots in a specific sequence, but going back and repeat the handling of some of the zones several times.

You can begin by caressing her neck by stroking up and down with your hands and keep special attention to the furrow in the mid with your finger

tips. This zone is very sensitive to broad light caresses and a little harder tickling up and down in that furrow. Playing with that zone typically

create sensations that will spread down along her back.

The lips and tongue is an obvious erotic area in women as in men, and the kiss is the equally obvious way of handling this zone, but the kiss must

be done in an artistic and skillful way to give a deeper pleasure. You can begin by gently touching her lips with your own, then tighten your own

lips and press a little more and suck a little in while detaching your lips again, making the classic smacking sound. Then grip several times softly

over one of her lips with you own.

When touching her lips the next time both of you open up your mouth a little, and let your tongue tips play against and around each other. Also

stick your tongue out and play with your tongue tip around her lips, while stopping a while to let her do the same. All these movements and many

more can be combined and varied in many ways, but real success depends on an understandig of the play from both parts and cooperation.

The line along the spine all the way from the neck down to the buttocks is also very sensual. Many women will have a furrow in the mid of her

back in which you can caress with your fingers down and up, but you should also caress along the spine in a broader fashion with your flat hand.

The breast nipples and surrounding are somewhat more intimate erotic zones that is fine to play with next. Many women have extremely sensitive

nipples, and they easily get over-tickled, so one must try out very cautiously how strongly you should handle them. Stroke and squeeze gently the

whole breast in your hands. Tickle the nipples with your finger tips and with a finger tip rotate gently around each nipple.

The belly can then be caressed in a broad way by stroking up and down. Take especially care to pull upwards a little just over her bladder region

so that her genital labia get stretched a little upwards. Then find the navel with your finger tips. The navel is a very erotic point and by tickling

with some pressure in the deep of her navel, you can create great sensations that are felt downwards to her clitoris, and give surprizing reactions

in her genital region. Also rotate your finger against the inner walls of her navel, stretching it in all directions.

The clitoris is perhaps the crown of the sensual spots. The visual part of the clitoris is a knob situated between the upper parts of a woman's labia.

It has much of the same sensual functions as a man's penis head. It has a foreskin resembling a hood. One can play with a woman's clitoris in

much the same way as with a man's penis, stroking and tickling with one or two fingers, very gently at first, but more vivid at later stages.

Because of the sensuality of this spot, massaging the hood of the clitoris up and down is often a better way of handling than directly at the clitoral

head.

An even more intimate point is her g-spot. In order to get to it, your woman must lay comfortably with somewhat spread legs. It is found inside

her between her vagina and urethra, and it can be reached by a finger or a dildo by pushing upwards some way inside her vagina. To hit the right

spot requires some seeking with your finger or the dildo and trying different degree of pressure. You sense from her reactions when you have

found the right spot. When found you partly massage and partly poke with your finger against the point.

Her buttocks and rectal zone is perhaps as sensual as her genitals. You begin by caressing and gently squeezing her buttocks broadly with a

whole hand. Then pull her buttocks to the side so her rectal zone get stretched. There is an extremely sensual point just under the base of her

spine, giving great responses if you tickle her deeply here with your finger tip. Then you can get more intimate by caressing the inside of her

buttocks, and by stretching at both sides very near to her anus. A very gentle massage with your finger tips at her anal rims can make very

profound sensations.

If both you and your women is comfortable with it and she gives signals that she likes it, you can very gently enter her anus with a lubricated

finger or a dildo. Take time to poke in and out a little in her opening, navigate gradually deeper inside. Point and stroke at the walls inside her

rear cavity. At several points inside her rectum you can find extremely sensual points that give reactions in her whole pelvic region. Also when you

go out again you do it extremely gently. A characteristic of this area is that very soft caresses often give the strongest feelings and responses.

It is not recommended, due to danger of bacterial contamination, to do anything deep in a woman's genital parts with a finger or toy that has

been in her rectal area. If you want to explore the deeper parts of her body, you must first do it at the front and then take her behind, or choose

which part you want to play with in the most intimate way.

It is important that the play with the erotic zones not only becomes a favor the man does for the woman. She must also give the man the favor of

doing good to his erotic zones, so the play gets equally rewarding for each, and both must be sensitive to what feels good for the other.

Urine Therapy - Urine Used to Treat Diseases

Urine is used as a drug to treat several diseases, both in the traditional medicine in many places in the world and by some modern western

naturopathic therapists. Here you can read about the claimed healing effects of urine and how urine is administered when used for therapy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

urine,therapy,urine,used as,medicine,drug,to heal,to treat,treatment for,disease

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Using urine as a medicine has a long tradition in some societies, especially in the eastern part of the world. Urine is an important remedy in the

Indian ayurvedic healing tradition. Also some natural therapists in the western societies recommend it as a therapeutic tool.

When it comes straight from the bladder it is free from microbes, unless the person suffers from an urinary tract infection. It contains water, urea,

several types of dissolved salts, several substances with hormonal effects and enzymes. The composition of the urine makes therapeutic effects

seem possible.

There is however little strict scientific documentation about this substance used as a drug. The following information is therefore given without

any definite recommendations nor any definite warning against trying this method, except that it should not replace other types of therapies for

serious disease that have a documented effect.

THE EFFECTS CLAIMED FOR URINE THERAPY

There are claims from proponents that this therapy can help for virtually any chronic disease process and that urine effectively prevents and

drives back infections. There are also strong claims that it can help reverse aging signs and help heal damages caused by degenerative diseases

of virtually any kind.

The total extent of these claims are probably exaggerated, but they can be summed up in this way: Urine might help the immune system to work

more effectively and it might stimulate the general repair mechanisms in the body to work better. Such general effects will of source be useful by

many types of health problems.

Since some natural therapists claim that the substance can help against virtually any disease, both trivial and serious, a total list of the

applications of urine will be impossible to make in a short space. Here are however some concrete uses listed:

It is a good remedy to clean the oral cavity and the teeth, probably better than many tooth pastes, and it is totally free. This effect is well

documented, but some might find it distasteful to use urine as a means for oral hygiene. It is also claimed to be a good remedy against sores and

infections in the oral cavity.

Some people find that urine taken orally gives a stimulating effect physically and psychologically that helps them to cope in the daily struggle at

work and at home. Some also find urine to be sexually stimulating. Morning urine voided before sunrise might however give a tranquilizing effect

upon stress and restlessness, which can make meditation and other yoga practices more effective. These effects might also be useful for

treatment of nervous problems.

Some therapists claim that orally taken urine gradually cures diabetes or makes the condition less serious. When using the therapy for this

purpose it is important to measure the blood sugar level cautiously and gradually reduce the dose of insulin if the therapy works, but not before

one sees that it works by dropping blood sugar levels.

Drinking urine might help against problems in the reproductive system, like PMS, menstrual problems and problems with getting pregnant. In

these cases man and wife are recommended to drink each others urine.

Urine used orally might help to clean the digestive system from stuffed wastes and alleviate symptoms like constipation, bloating and cramps.

Drinking it is also claimed to help against impairment in the kidney function and symptoms caused by kidney failure, like edema.

Urine used upon the skin might help against sores, itching, rashes of various kind and symptoms of aging. It is also claimed to be a good remedy

against the same problems in the eyes and ears when applied at the site or used as a flushing fluid. The substance is also claimed to be a good

antiseptic remedy to use on sores and on the skin.

Urine used on body areas might help against numbness and neurological impairments in these areas. Some claim urine can alleviate or cure more

severe neurological problems like paralysis and cerebral palsy when used on extensive body areas and at the same time taken orally.

Urine applied on body areas afflicted by arthritis and other rheumatic condition might alleviate the pain and stiffness due to these conditions, and

this might be combined with urine taken orally to give full help against rheumatism.

When applied onto the scalp it is used against hair loss. Old urine is said to be best, and often it is blended with other ingredients that stimulate

hair growth.

Sniffing some urine into the nose or flushing the nose with urine might help for infections and allergies in the upper respiratory organs and in the

head.

By lack of any other fluid to drink, one might save oneself from dying of thirst by drinking all of ones own urine, but one must begin drinking it a

soon as the lack of fluid begins for this advice to be effective.

HOW TO ADMINISTER URINE AS A MEDICINE

The recommendations for practical use of urine as a drug vary considerably among proponents and therapists, especially regarding the doses.

These are however some typical recommendations:

In most cases one is advised to use one's own urine. Therapists generally recommend using the middle part of the first urine stream you void in

the morning, and after having washed the genitals. Some prefer to let it stay some days in a sealed box at a cold dark place before use with the

claim that it gets more effective then.

Therapists advocating urine therapy will often recommend a special types of diet to make the cure effective and to avoid bad taste and smell from

the urine. Since many of these therapists work in an Indian yoga tradition the diet advices can be rather strict. The advices also seem

contradictory because they forbid certain types of food that can be therapeutic against the very same diseases that the urine therapy is supposed

to treat, and the adherence to the advices can also give certain problems caused by deficit of nutrients.

What is recommended by these therapists is a natural diet with little of no animal food, salt, oil and spices. It is probably not health for persons

living an active western lifestyle to adhere strictly to these advices, but keep in mind that they could guide your diet to some extent.

Your diet should of course be natural and you should avoid eating much red meat, but most people should eat fish and seafood. Consuming great

amounts of oil and fat is not good, but you should have some natural oil in your diet. People generally consume too much salt, but in hot weather

and by hard work you need some extra salt. Spices make the food tasty and some types of spices may also stimulate healing. You should however

not consume so great amount of any spice that you feel it irritates.

One way of using urine is to drink it. The oral administration of urine is recommended by health problems in all body parts. One drinks it on empty

stomach to get best effect. One only takes 5-10 drops twice a day in the beginning. Within a month one increases the dose up to 2 deciliters (0.84

US cup) twice a day.

When using only small doses, these should be kept for a while under the tongue before swallowing it. By larger doses you should flush each sip

around in the mouth before swallowing. Some proponents also advice to drink urine every second week and pause every second week when you

use the maximal daily doses.

Another usage method is to massage the urine onto areas of the skin where there is some skin ailment, then let dry and wait some hours before

washing it away. One can also apply packings wet in urine at the skin for some hours. This method is said to be effective for treatment of most

skin problems. If you massage greater body areas with the substance, you might get the same general benefits as by drinking it.

For problems in the nose and upper respiratory organs, one can sniff some drops of urine into the nose, or flush the nose with it. This method is

said also to influence the whole body beneficially.

For problems in the oral cavity and the teeth you can simply flush your mouth with the urine and brush the teeth with the brush dipped in it. This

can of course be combined with drinking it.

Urine is not only used to treat diseases, but proponents also recommend using urine as a regular remedy to prevent disease, improve fitness and

avoid aging problems. Used in this way the regular daily dose should be less than that used to cure a specific disease, perhaps one glass a day.

POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS

Side effects from urine therapy are not well investigated, just like therapeutic effects.

Many people will find the substance distasteful and this sensual or psychological effect can cause nausea and tendencies to throw up after having

ingested a dose, but the effect tend to go away after some time. The effect is more dependent upon education and culture that the physical taste

and effect of urine.

People taking high doses each day for some period report feeling sleepy and tired after some time, but it is claimed that this side effect will go

away by continued use. By pausing each second week, it will probably be avoided.

There are warnings against using urine therapy together with pharmaceutical drugs, because the combined effects can cause problems. If you

take other drugs you should at least be cautious when beginning urine therapy and give act about any symptoms of side effects.

Taking more than about half a liter each day might disturb the electrolytic balance in the body, since urine contains surplus salt not needed that

you recirculate to some extent by drinking urine. Especially people with heart problems or high blood pressure should be cautious about high

doses.

About Urinary Tract Infection - Prevention and Treatments
By Knut Holt
http://www.abicana.com/health_information.htm

Urinary tract infection, or UTI, is colonization of microorganisms in the urinary tract in such an amount and such a way that damages or symptoms

are produced. When only the urethra and the bladder is affected, it is called lower urinary tract infection. When the ureters and the kidneys are

affected, the name used is "upper urinary tract infection".

WHAT CAUSES URINARY TRACT INFECTION

UTI is commonly caused by bacteria that also are present in the normal flora in and around body openings and in the digestive tract, as for

example the bacterium Escherichia Coli. Most often the bacteria enter the urinary tract through the urethral opening. Women more easily get

urinary tract infection because they have a shorter urethra so that the bacteria have a shorter way to get into the bladder.

The diseases Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis are normally not called UTI, even though these infections often affect the urinary tract.

Defects in the urinary system can make a person susceptible for UTI, like strictures or valve-like structures in the urethra and defects causing

reflux from the bladder up through the ureters. Physical damages in the urinary tract can also make it more easy for bacteria to colonize and

make infections.

Use of catheters or other instruments in the urinary tract can introduce bacteria and also cause damages that give the bacteria an easy

opportunity to infect.

THE SYMPTOMS OF UTI

UTI can occur acutely with very distinct symptoms. UTI can also develop slowly and chronically with only small symptoms for a long time.

The symptoms by lower UTI are:

�Itching during urination.
�Pain in the bladder region.
�Urge to urinate, even though there is little urine in the bladder.
�Need to urinate during nights.
�Fever, usually mild.
�Cloudy urine with a bad smell.
�Pus discharged from the urethra or blended with the urine.
�Sometimes blood in the urine.

By upper urinary tract infection the same symptoms often occur, and in addition these symptoms will be felt:

�Nausea and vomiting.
�Pain in the sides of the back and sides of the stomach, at the height of the kidneys, and often downwards towards the bladder region.
�Feeling of pressure in the stomach region.
�High fever with chills and shaking.
�Strong fatigue.

Symptoms of UTI must always be investigated, especially blood in the urine, since the cause can be a more serious disease.

POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS

By upper UTI, the infection can spread deep into the kidney tissues and destroy the structures that excrete urine. This process can gradually lead

to kidney failure. The infection can cause growth of scar tissue in the urinary tract, for example in the urethra, that causes obstruction and

problems with urination.

By men the infection can spread to the prostate and into the reproductive organs and destroy the function of the reproductive system.

When a pregnant woman suffers from UTI, the child tend to be born with a too low birth weight.

DIAGNOSIS

UTI is diagnosed by a urine specimen. The specimen is analyzed for substances produces by the disease process, like nitrites, leukocytes or

leukocyte esterase. One also performs urine culture to confirm the presence of the bacteria.

When children have been diagnosed with UTI, in is useful to perform urine flow studies and radiologic studies of the urinary tract afterwards to see

if there is urine reflux up to the bladder or other abnormalities in the urinary tract. This is sometimes done also by adults if UTI often recur.

STANDARD TREATMENT

Urinary tract infection is commonly treated with antibiotica, like: trimethoprim, cephalosporins, nitrofurantoin, or a fluoroquinolone (ciprofloxacin,

levofloxacin).

Children that have been diagnosed with some urinary tract defect are often given long term treatment with small doses of antibiotics, but recent

studies have thrown doubt upon the validity of this regime.

ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT

Although standard treatment is usually effective, it does no always manage to beat down a chronic UTI. Treatment with low doses of antibiotics to

prevent new outbreaks of UTI can give side effects and is neither always effective.

Alternative measures for treatment can therefore be useful in addition to the standard drugs, and the same alternatives can be useful to prevent

new outbreaks of UTI.

Cranberry and blueberry can help against UTI by eliminating the bacteria causing UTI. These herbs can be taken as juice or as tea made from

dried berries, and they are also found as concentrates in capsules.

The sugar type D-mannose also seems to help eliminating infectious bacteria from the urinary tract.

Cranberry, blueberry and D-mannose seem to help by sticking to the bacteria or to the inside lining of the urinary tract and make it difficult for the

bacteria to adhere to the inside walls and infect the tissues. Instead the bacteria are flushed out by the urine.

Goldenseal root and Uva ursi also have effects against bacteria infecting the urinary tract.

Remedies that alter the PH of the urine to be more acidic or more alkaline also seem to counteract infectious bacteria. It seems that the bacteria

thrive only in a very narrow Ph range. Mineral supplements that contain citrate alter the Ph in an alkaline direction, and can be used for this

purpose. Cranberry seems to give a more acidic urine and helps also this way.

Some studies indicate that acupuncture can help to hinder new outbreak of urinary tract infection.

LIFESTYLE MEASURES

Many lifestyle measures can be used to prevent the outbreak of UTI and help to cure UTI.

�Wearing clothes that hinders the lower body to get cold is useful by many peoples experience.
�Drinking much water causes the infectious bacteria to be flushed out much easier.
�To urinate after intercourse and cleaning the urethral opening eliminates infectious bacteria transmitted by the sexual act before they can

invade the urinary tract.
�Using condoms by anal intercourse can hinder infectious bacteria in the rectum to enter a mans urethra.
�After anal intercourse, vaginal intercourse should be avoided without a good wash first.
�Having a good intimate hygiene, and wiping from the front and backwards by toilet visits can hinder bacteria from entering the urinary tract.
�Warm sitting baths without soap that can irritate can ameliorate the pain during, UTI and ay enhance the healing process.

About Stretch marks - How to Treat Stretch marks

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stretch marks develop because the skin has become weak and then also is stretched excessively for some time. This weakness often occur during

puberty and pregnancy but can occur in any age for several reasons. Creams to stimulate repair, laser treatment and surgical methods are

possible treatment options.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

stretchmarks, stretch, marks,causes,treatment,symptoms,causes,treatment
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stretch marks are bands on the skin with a different color than the normal skin around, firstly reddish, but later whitish. The skin in the bands are

loose and little elastic, irregular and somewhat deepened. They can appear in males and females at any age, but often during puberty, in over-

weighted individuals and during pregnancy. They are common at the thighs, the hips and lover abdomen, but can develop at any place in the

body. The bands tend to run parallel and are sometimes branched. Stretch marks are chronic, but they tend to get less pronounced by time.

One factor causing stretch marks is a poor production of the structure proteins collagen and elastin by the fibroblasts, which makes the skin weak.

In addition forces external or internal to the body must stretch the skin excessively some time. Factors that increase the risk for stretch marks are

an elevated production of glucocorticoid hormons as by pregnancy, the excessive burden by pregnancy and over-weight, bad diet and inheritance

from the parents.

To hinder stretch marks from coming or to take away the first signs of stretch marks, you can daily massage body areas at risk with a cream

containing natural oils. Products for this purpose seem to use a variety of oils with saturated, mono-unsaturated and essential poly-unsaturated

fatty acids. In addition they often contain substances like panthenol, menthol, gotu kola extract and vitamin E. Reducing weight, keeping a good

diet and be cautious about how you stretch body areas during work and sport activities will also help.

Stretch mark can be treated with laser. By young stretch marks one often uses laser that gives off rays with wavelength of 585 nm to stimulate

repair activities. Use of radio waves can also stimulate repair activities in young stretch marks, especially when combined with laser treatment.

For older stretch marks one often uses laser rays that give small wounds in the tissue at each treatment session, so called fractional laser

treatment. When the tissue heals, it gets stronger than before.

One can reduce the visibility of the marks by surgical abrasion of layers in the skin, so-called dermabrasion. A more superficial abrasion, called

microdermabrasion can also help. Use of scrubs containing glycolic acid can be used to smoothen skin with stretch marks and this may also

stimulate a regrowth that will strengthen the skin. If there is excessive skin on areas with stretch marks, this skin can be cut away and the rims

sewn together. This technique is often use at the lower abdomen and is then called tummy tuck surgery.

Prescription bound creams with retinoids, derivatives of vitamin A, may induce repair activities in skin affected by stretch marks. You can also find

non-prescription drugs on the market formulated to stimulate repair of skin attacked by stretch marks. Common ingredients in these are natural

oils, panthenol, vitamin A, vitamin E and Vitamin B3 (Niacin). They typically also contain different types of peptides to stimulate regrowth

activities in the skin.
