Botox for Night Grinders

Botox is usually thought of for cosmetic solutions such as wrinkle reduction of the forehead and crow’s feet, but the toxin actually has many amazing off label uses that have nothing to do with vanity (such as headaches, depression, excessive sweating, etc).

This month we are focusing on Night Grinding or bruxism. Botox can be used to control involuntary muscle tension and spasms when administered in the masseter muscles. Results can last up to four months with no effect on the ability to chew, swallow or talk. If you are interested in finding out more about how to treat bruxism, you may want to get in touch with a clinic similar to this Gresham dental practice or a dental practice local to you.

I recently tried this with Dr. Rivkin of Westside Aesthetics , as my grinding is not only out of control but has been majorly costly. Night guards, enamel re-coating – it’s a major financial dump. For less than $500 my jaw (mostly my left side) was treated and I look forward to waking up with less tension. The left side of my face is also notably more protruding because of the muscles are so tense so watching that subside and my face even out will be exciting.

I can’t wait to report back and to fill you in next month on the next “non-beauty” use for Botox you never knew about.

Macaccino

December 24, 2016

Move over matcha. Macaccino is the go to this winter! It’s a caffeine free superfood beverage that is made from the Peruvian maca root and so yum it’ll make you crazy.

 Here’s the deal. We are all looking for ways to get energy and when you are into your fifth cup of coffee by noon, you are headed into afternoon crashes and insomnia, (um guilty).

Macaccino being caffeine free is a healthy and sustainable alternative to this. Macaccino is filled with adaptogens that help the body deal with stress, boosts immunity amongst having other beneficial properties.

Macaccino can be brewed hot or made into a cold drink resembling everyone’s favorite Frappuccino or latte (yes, I also do these in the winter). 

I am guilty of adding this TO my coffee for that yummy maca flavor.

NUTRITION DATA AND BENEFIT BREAKDOWN FOR MACA ROOT

Maca is an amazing superfood that grows in the highest altitudes and in harsher climates with less water than almost any other plant in the world. It’s filled with nutrition and almost seems like it was designed only for human consumption–the benefits it brings are so vast that it’s almost hard to believe that maca root is very real and available to us for use in everything from cooking to energy drinks like our Macaccino.

WHAT’S THE MACA ROOT SECRET? DENSE NUTRITION.

Maca root is best known to deliver its many benefits through its dense makeup of alkaloids, amino acids, beta-ecdysone, calcium, carbohydrates, fatty acids, glucosinolates, iron, magnesium, p-methoxybenzyl isothiocyanate, phosphorus, potassium, protein, saponins, sitosterols, stigmasterol, tannins, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B12, vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc.

Maca root is also known to contain the chemical p-methoxybenzyl isothiocyanate. It’s considered to be one of a collection of biologically active aromatic isothiocyanates and is where the aphrodisiac qualities of maca come from. This is not found anywhere but in maca, and is why each cup of our Macaccino organic energy drinks do more than most energy drinks could only dream of.
