New Age Healing

New age healing is a form of alternative healing therapy that believes in an all-pervading force that human beings should ideally be in tune with. Illness occurs when we fall out of sync with this force. This form of healing relies heavily on metaphysical properties that it attributes to minerals and crystals. New age healers claim that crystals and minerals can help to realign the body’s spiritual, physical, and emotional energies with a universal force and this helps the body to combat disease of the body and mind. New age healing also includes making use of color therapy, reading auras, astral travel, etc.

Hair Loss after Bariatric Surgery

Although not essential to health, scalp hair can be important to self-image and hair loss or alopecia may lead to significant psychological distress. Some degree of hair loss is relatively common following bariatric surgery, usually occurring 3 months or more after surgery and affecting around athird of all patients. The precise causes of post-bariatric hair loss are unknown; factors including changes in nutritional status and the impact of surgery upon the hair growth cycle are thought to be involved. In most cases, hair will begin to regrow without intervention once weight has stabilized.
