Ever wanted a fabric that was so comfortable it didn’t irritate your skin? Dermatologists have created just a material for such applications that prevents the fabric from irritating skin that it causes skin disorders. Called Derma-Smart, the fabric has been designed to have all the seams on the outside so as to eliminate the itchiness associated with fabric snagging on skin and body hair that ir irritates it so much resulting not only in itch but more skin disorders. Now t-shirts are not only comfortable, they are also irritation free. Wera them everyday without worry of being irritated with those old fabrics. Natural cotton is cool but it can also irritate you a lot when the seams catch on the follicles of hair rubbing them raw in some cases.

Touch – More than a Simple Feeling

Posted by Aileen on Jul 12 2009 | Informaiton

TouchTouch has long been regarded as the simplest way people share feelings and compassion but the strange thing doctors have been wondering about for a long time is why the specific act seemingly brings about healing. Pain seems to react to touch in a way not yet quite apparent to our researchers and doctors, then they find a special set of nerves that dots our fingers directly linked to the feeling processing center of the brain. The special sense receptors can be compared to having healing touch for one knows that babies calm at the touch of their parents, sick people calm down with a compassionate stroke of the hands and massage calms even the most stressed soul.
This might explain why alternative medicine, namely reflexology and massage tends to have beneficial effects though they are not directly treating internal organs within the human body. Touch as it turns out has a more effective purpose that may have evolved through our millions of years of evolution. The mechanisms truly complex for it to have eluded study all these years. Seems we are really benefiting from the comforting touch we get when we need it most amd scientists have proof to back it up!
