AROMATHERAPY

BALANCE TEXT CÉCILE ELLERT //

As an aromatherapist, one of my specialties is the treatment of fungal infection. Any fungal infection. There are indeed many of them.

A fungal infection can be as visible as a scaling plaque or a rash, or truly invisible, I mean internal, difficult to diagnose because involving symptoms that are common to many other conditions such as allergies, respiratory infections, digestive problems, anxiety, depression, memory problems and so on.

For an athlete, a fungal infection mostly takes the form of a skin condition located on the feet, a very common disease easily caught on tatamis, pool decks, shower stalls and locker rooms floors : Athlete’s foot.

SO, TODAY, LETS TALK ABOUT YOUR FEET. Athlete’s foot is only one among many others visible fungal infections and most trainers and athletes probably know how to recognize it and treat it with local antifungal products.

I think it is a mistake, and I’ll tell your why.

CLASSIC ANTIFUNGAL TREATMENTS VERSUS NATURAL ONES. First of all, do you know why some people will get athlete’s foot and not others?

You might think it is because they protect their feet with a preventative product that kills bacteria. Yes, why not. But this is not what comes to my mind.

Actually, you’ll get or not a fungal infection according to your level of immunity.

04 // MARCH 2013 // WEEKLY NEWS AROMATHERAPY BALANCE

d

IMMUNITY AND FUNGAL INFECTIONS Your immune system: your body’s natural army, allowing you to live peacefully in an environment where thousands of thousands of germs are surrounding you, like mosquitoes living on a marsh. Dry the marsh and the mosquitoes will die.

You need to be coherent and follow the kind of restrictive diet that helps your body get back a proper immunity: no more sugar, gluten and dairy products for a week or two (a minimum…).

We are attracting some germs that grow and live inside us, such as a very famous yeast, the Candida Albicans. This yeast is a natural host of our digestive system, one of the many organisms that cohabit with our intestinal flora, the key to our immunity.

Damage your flora and you damage your immunity. Damage your flora and the Candida takes advantage of the situation to over multiply, intoxicating your body with its metabolic waste and weakening further and further your immunity.

In this case, the stage is set for you to catch any external fungal infection but also to develop many other chronic conditions that will only be “cured” temporarily with a classic approach.

When you notice any scaling redness, plaques or vesicles, there is no need to make sure this is a fungal infection before applying essential oils : it cannot harm you…you don’t have to be extra cautious before using it.

You might already know that yeasts mute and adapt to a chemical treatment such as antibiotics or classic anti-fungal treatments.

• Essential oils are completely natural substances, so unlike a classic antifungal treatment, the yeast cannot resist to it.

One good point.

These treatments not only weaken your immunity, they have a tendency to damage your intestinal flora, they can intoxicate your liver, weaken your kidneys, and the yeast actually learns to resist to it.

So, as these treatments become less and less effective, you take more of it, further damaging your flora, further intoxicating your liver, further sinking into the vicious circle of getting easily sick with bugging little things.

So, don’t. Don’t rely on classic antifungal treatments.

NATURAL TREATMENTS ARE SAFER AND MORE EFFECTIVE Discover what a completely natural alternative such as aromatherapy can do to treat your fungal infection from the inside out.

www.compressport.com

One thing is sure, neither classic treatments nor ones based on essential oils will work by themselves. A comprehensive approach is always the best necessary.

So, even in doubt, don’t wait, use it, it won’t hurt.

• Since they are natural products, essential oils benefit every system of your body.

What you do not need will only make the grass greener, without damaging or loading your organs with toxic substances to eliminate.

• Antifungal essential oils are not just antifungal: they can be also antiviral, anti-bacterial, cicatrizing, anti-inflammatory, calming, anti-itch, and above all, immune boosting!

Several of my clients are body builder, used to very high protein diet and to a gut damaging abs over work. They very frequently get internal fungal infections and choose to follow this restrictive diet while using antifungal essential oils: it works!

But today’s topic was athlete’s foot: lets get back to your feet.

TREATING YOUR FEET Lets consider two situations:

YOU NEED TO TREAT YOUR FEET. YOU NEED TO PROTECT YOUR FEET. To treat your feet: a very anti-fungal and very easy to use essential oil is melaleuca alternifolia, better known as Tea tree.

Athlete’s foot is highly contagious on contact and resistant.

SO MY ADVICE IS: • Discard all your old socks, • Sprinkle heavily your shoes with tea tree essential oil

A HOLISTIC APPROACH So, each time you apply an aromatherapy treatment on your skin to stop an itch, repair it, or prevent an infection, you actually work on your whole body to rebalance it and strengthen it in the same time!

MARCH 2013 // WEEKLY NEWS AROMATHERAPY BALANCE // 05

• Sprinkle heavily your toes with the same oil, letting your feet breath, bare, as much as possible. Never use the same pair of socks twice until your feet are cleared of symptoms.

• Follow a strict sugar free, gluten free, dairy free diet while you are locally treating your feet.

But, there nothing like the efficiency of a good synergy: here is a blend of 5 essential oils that condition and treat your feet problems, from irritation and bruises to scaling and itchiness. Keep it in a glass vial if possible, away from light and heat.

YOUR PREVENTATIVE AND CURATIVE BLEND

Tea tree is antifungal but also: anti bacterial, immunostimulating, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, cicatrizing, major anti-infectious.

In a 20 ml glass vial filled with 10 ml of Grapeseed oil, 5 ml (a tablespoon) of Tamanu oil and 5 ml of aloe vera gel (well stirred together), add :

It is commonly used to treat acne, rashes and balance your oily skin to name a few.

3 drops of Immortelle (helichrysum italicum) 5 drops of Spike lavender (lavandula latifolia) 5 drops of Palmarosa (cymbopogon martinii) 5 drops of Oregano (origanum majorama) 2 drops of peppermint (mentha piperita)

Tea tree is one of the rare oils you can apply directly on the skin without diluting it first. You can carry it anywhere and use it to calm an itch as well as recondition a damaged skin.

06 // APRIL 2013 // WEEKLY NEWS AROMATHERAPY BALANCE

• Spread a thick coat of it all over the damaged area, • Massage your feet if you wish, as it is very refreshing and soothing.

• Use several times a day, as needed.

Immortelle is: antifungal, antispasmodic, antiseptic, cell regenerating, cicatrizing, antiinflammatory, to name a few.

Spike lavender is a pharmacy in itself and repair any skin condition even with a second-degree burn.

Palmarosa is antifungal, cooling, strongly antiviral and antibacterial and immune stimulant.

Oregano is antifungal, antiinfectious, antiseptic and antibacterial.

Peppermint is your anti-itch tool, cooling, analgesic, detoxifying.

Try this little blend, several times a day, before and after training and let me know what you think!

TRAINING MY MONTH OF APRIL ...

BY

FRED

VAN LIERDE COPYRIGHT // TRIMAX HEBDO

April ... the start of a new European Triathlon season, the start of Spring!

I can feel that every single triathlete is getting excited about the upcoming 2013 season.

But for me, things are slightly different however.

In my last 5 years as a long distance triathlete, April has been sort of a recovery month.

When you set early season goals, like I do, April is just the time to take some rest physically and mentally.

08 // APRIL 2013 // WEEKLY NEWS TRAINING

www.compressport.com

Abu Dhabi on the 2nd of March and Oceanside on the 30th of March, were my 2 early season races.

With the race in the United Arabic Emirates as my major goal of course.

After the 70.3 race in California and a long travel back home, the family time is so welcome.

The 2nd half of April is a 'refocus' on my next important race ... Nice!

Mentally getting ready and motivated to tackle the next big training block of the year. Physically, or may be call it tactically, I also add a training camp in the Nice area in the month of April. See and ride the beautiful bike course again and again!

In April it's just the perfect timing for me!

TRAIN HARD, BUT DON’T FORGET TO TAKE SOME REST!�

My next race, in the lead up to Ironman France, is the ExtremeMan race in Salou (ESP) on 5th of May. In May the preparation for the Ironman continues in Belgium and beginning of June I leave for a atlitude training camp in Font Romeu, French Pyrenees. My favorite training place!

Just a couple of days before the race I travel to Nice and on the 23rd of June ... 2nd D-day of my season!

And guess what ... another easy recovery month (like April) in July :-) Train hard, but don't forget to take some rest!

DAMIAN ZUDMINSKY

PORTRAIT OF AN AGE GROUPER RUNNING FOR HEALTH Damian Zmudzinski / ENZYMKraft TEAM has been living with Bekhterev's disease for more than a decade. The disease, which is similar to rheumatism, is incurable. Yet the 37 year old can still find relief - in running.

You only notice it at second glance.

Awkward and swaying slightly, but still pretty quick. That's how Damian Zmudzinski makes his rounds in Rottach-Egern on Lake Tegernsee.

Diagnosis after seven years The very fact that the chef at the traditional "Bachmaier" Hotel is once more able to run so regularly and so fast borders on a miracle. "After the illness was diagnosed in 2003 after seven years of pain, appropriate medication could at last be prescribed.", recalls Damian Zmudzinski. Previously, he'd been treated with continuously increasing doses of cortisone. The result - the promising marathon runner (best time: 2.22 hours at the age of 17!) gained 22 kilos due to the medication, increasing his weight from 68 kilos to 90 kilos."The pain had an enormous effect my psyche. I was depressed and had no motivation", he says now, smiling a little as he speaks.

The 35 year old is not your average runner. He has been fighting against an insidious disease for over a decade. He is fighting Bekhterev's disease. It starts with chronic pain in inflamed joints. In the terminal stages, the joints ossify. A hunched back is typical of the illness. Chance of recovery: none.

The illness has left its mark on Damian Zmudzinski. Because his joints don't always play along, his running style looks a little odd.

Downhill routes are excluded from his training schedule because the pressure on his ankles, knees and hips would be too great. Nonetheless, this man of Polish origin runs almost every day, usually pushing his two-year old son Jacob in front of him in his baby jogger. When he puts his mind to it, Damian Zmudzinski can run 10 kilometres with the baby jogger (!) in under 40 minutes.

Having a new businessman sharing our technology and passion is a great chance for us, but when it comes to be an Pro athlet, still performing in his sport, it's becoming a pleasure !

Diomansy Kamara did play Professional Football in Italy first, for mainly England Clubs and now plays the successful Eskisehir Team in Turkey

Recovery is definitely a part of the game" So when he tried COMPRESSPORT for the first time, it was obvious that he could do even more for the brand "The feeling is awesome. I like everything in the products, and hope to develop the brand in my sport. The decision to become also part of the family and distribute the products was very easy to take. My partner and friend was Ok as soon as i explained how good the products were.

THE NORTH FACE ENDURANCE CHALLENGE SAN FRANCISCO TNF Endurance Challenge 50 miles in San Francisco, CA, was a great experience heedless mud, rain, fog and cold from the storm that hit California during the race week. Despite conditions, a lot if elite runners strived to break the course record and a lot of people from the event supported the runners.

Andres Urdaneta, from RunnersLab Colombia, shares his Compressport experience with us: “The race is known as a fast course and I was looking for achieve the 50 miles distance in 9 hours or less; It was my third 50 miler in 2012 and in my life, and I thought that it was a great opportunity for me, I had a lot of good feelings in the training for the race. I knew from previous races that in that distance I always experience cramps in the back of the quadriceps around the km 65.

This time I equipped myself with a pair of Compressport for Quad, lot of electrolyte, and a pair of Compressport Trail Running Socks to counter sores in the midfoot. It was a great decision: I didn’t feel any cramps or sores at all. I managed to cross the line in 9:02:17 (108 among 450 runners and 7th in my category)” Check out this link to read Andres’ full story: https://www.facebook.com/note s/runnerslab/relato-de-carrera the-north-face-endurancechallenge-san-francisco-por-andres-ur/570440006306050 www.compressport.com
