Why women need a special medicine
Hot it is under the crackling gold foil, very hot. The body becomes soft, dissolves, like chocolate in mid-summer. Only the breathing mask over the mouth and nose disturbs something, prevents everything in the head from dissolving completely. "Oxythermia" is the name of this procedure, artificial fever up to 39.5 degrees is generated and simultaneously supplied with oxygen, it was originally developed with higher temperature for cancer therapy. It boosts the immune system and makes you sweat a lot. Detoxification through the skin.
"The body is a big landfill, the older we get, the more contaminants we've got from medicines, the environment, food, embarrassment and stress, and what we need to do if we want to stay healthy and fit, especially us Women, "says Dr. Gabrielle Dienhart-Schneider, medical director of la pura in the Austrian town of Gars am Kamp, the first health resort exclusively for women in Europe. "Women have other stress factors, health risks and disease symptoms than men," said the specialist in general medicine, psychotherapy and homeopathy. "That's why they need other medical care, a special gender medicine, also for detoxification.
Women can not just be treated like "light men"
Differences between women and men have long ignored doctors and scientists in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases completely. Only gradually did it become clear that women can not simply be treated as "light men". They are still often underrepresented in studies on the introduction of new drugs, and results are not reported separately for both sexes, as Professor Alexandra Kautzky-Willer, a gender doctor at the Medical University of Vienna and a scientific consultant in the "la pura" criticizes.
There are some major differences: genes, hormones, metabolic processes, sensitivity to pain and stress - everything is different in women than in men. "We know how a female organism works and have tailored our medical programs specifically for it," says Gabrielle Dienhart-Schneider. For detoxification, the F. X. Mayr method is offered, a special fasting cure, named after its founder, an Austrian spa doctor, adapted to modern and especially female needs. Instead of bread rolls and milk as before, there is an individual light food, compiled and prepared according to the latest nutritional science. The aim is not only to restore the intestine, but to regenerate the entire body through complementary physical and relaxing measures. "Women are often irritated by their demanding life vegetatively constantly.They need, unlike men, especially calm, deceleration," emphasizes the senior doctor. "If they can stay away from heavy foods as well as from 'toxic' people and let everything fall away, that's already a first step to detoxify - both physically and mentally."
The machine pumps gently and evenly, it sucks the skin into the small glassy cupping heads. Sometimes they sit below the clavicles, sometimes on the lower abdomen, sometimes on the back. Poisons and degradation products of the metabolism should be pulled out of the cells. The therapist's fingers massage towards the lymph nodes. They should provide for the removal to the excretory organs.
Skin, lungs, liver, kidneys, intestines - our body has a perfect system to rid itself of harmful substances. Physical measures such as such a detox massage support him in this work. As well as salt baths and scrubs, exercise in the fresh air and wraps for the liver. Especially this organ needs special support from women. Their liver metabolism is less powerful than that of men, they detoxify worse. Certain medications are therefore overdosed or not suitable for them, and lactose or fructose intolerance causes more problems. Women also make up half as much of the enzyme that breaks down alcohol. That they tolerate less wine and beer than men is well known. But that also means that they are more sensitive to alcohol produced by digestion and fermentation in the gut.
The hormonal changes in the course of a woman's life can affect the intestine unfavorable. If the estrogen level drops during the menopause, the intestine often becomes sluggish. Since many women drink too little, they additionally promote constipation. The stool ferments longer than necessary in the intestine, the mucous membrane is attacked, it is permeable, it comes to the "leaky-gut syndrome", the "leaking gut", foreign substances penetrate into the immune system.Chronic "silent" inflammations of low intensity, not measurable in the blood, arise.
These "silent inflammations", as physicians call them, are pioneers for almost all civilization diseases, for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases as well as for diabetes, rheumatic complaints and fibromyalgia. Progesterone deficiency, as it arises at the beginning of menopause, favors them. "The French say, 'You dig your grave with your teeth yourself.' On the other hand, we can do something, and anyone who detoxifies regularly can prevent disease, "says Gabrielle Dienhart-Schneider. "The gut is the root of the human, the central organ that nourishes us, and if it's not okay, it has a huge impact on the overall well-being of a woman."
In most women, the intestines press on the bladder and uterus
Hands brush, press, knead. First gentle, then increasingly powerful, gripping, they dig deep into the stomach, as if they wanted to wring it out. They push organs back and forth, relax muscles in the hips, but above all, they press the intestine energetically upwards towards ribs. He should move out of his inertia and back to his proper place in the body, to the place he occupies only in the least of us, but which he needs to do his job well: us of ballast and To liberate waste from the metabolism.
"This abdominal treatment is an important part of the F. X. Mayr method of colon cleansing, and I adjust the intensity individually. Alex Witasek, President of the International Society of Mayr Doctors. Since the general practitioner and doctor of manual medicine in the "la pura" works, he has extended the method accordingly: "In most women, the intestine hangs down and presses on the uterus and bladder, which is why I also make special handles from the visceral osteopathy mobilizing the internal organs so that I can better relieve the pelvic floor and reduce the pressure on the organs. "
A side effect: bad postures can be corrected so often, relieve neck and back pain. Because: "Gastrointestinal tract, musculoskeletal system and psyche are causally wired together," says Alex Witasek. "70 percent of our complaints do not come from the actual cause, but from the response to it." For example, a dangling bowel may result in a hollow back, which in turn causes tight-grip in the muscles of the upper back; a prone posture should relax, but signals the brain to a depressed mood. If it is possible to lift the intestine and to raise the affected person, she immediately feels better.
This uplifting process can be supported by a special physiotherapeutic treatment, the underwater extension therapy. The patient hangs with weights on the legs in a ring or a head sling free in the warm water. The spine is stretched, the muscles can be massaged effectively with a jet of water. The almost weightless floating encourages letting go, relaxing. Relief postures, which are caused by problems in the abdomen, can dissolve. "About the body work and the physical detoxification is psychologically something in motion," says Mayr doctor Witasek. "This favors a holistic view, a reboot is possible."
Twice a year, in spring and autumn, each for eight days, the experts recommend - according to the true meaning of the word "diet" - to "keep order in life", to fast or eat moderately and to all harmful influences and To pass off toxins like alcohol and nicotine. This is also possible at home. It is important, however, that relaxation is essential for women. "Such a time of detoxification, fasting can be a kick-off to enter a healthier lifestyle in the long term," says Gender Physician Alexandra Kautzky-Willer. "A holistic lifestyle that always detoxifies us in everyday life - it's never too late for that."
