Day # 7 of 7 of inversion for December 2016. Yeah! First week ever completed. Go me!
Sprayed my XCEl 21 and worked that in. Then massaged with moringa oil (an Indian oil). I enjoy saturating a towel in the microwave and then applying that to my head to steam in the nutrients from the oils I apply and to help relax the veins close to the scalp surface. I take niacin as part of my vitamin regimen, anyway. So, I take it before I invert. It's a natural vasodilator, too. I inverted Aggie Style for 5 minutes using my timer.
Vasodilation (pronounced
váy/zoe/dilation with the accent on the first syllable. ) It is the relaxing and widening of the veins. This allows for an increase of oxygen and nutrients going to the organs. Hair follicles are mini organs, also sometimes referred to as 'organelles'. Hair follicles are ALWAYS hungry. So, the more oxygen and nutrition they can get, the better!
I do four (4) forms of vasodilation each time I invert, during my week of inversion:
- massage scalp= vasodilation
- apply 1 minute of steam heat=vasodilation
- take niacin (take internally)= creates vasodilation (niacin flush)
- perform 5 minutes of inversion=vasodilation
Each of these steps creates a vasodilation response. I'm all about optimization! Onto the 2017
