PRESS RELEASE
APRIL 23, 2009
Weak Economy Stimulates Growth in Stay-at-home Spa Treatments; Prompts PatchMeUpOrganics.com to Introduce 12 New Aroma Spa Packages
All one needs to visualize an escape to Italy or Paris or some other far-off destination is now available through PatchMeUpOrganics.com™, a company that recently introduced 12 new aroma spa packages for the home. All spa products included in the packages are certified organic and natural. www.patchmeuporganics.com
Millbrae, CA (PRWEB) April 23, 2009 -- In this weak economy it's difficult to get away and pamper one's self with spa treatments and vacations. As a cheaper and imaginative alternative, PatchMeUpOrganics.com™ has proudly introduced 12 new Aroma Spa Packages that allow women to visualize an escape to Italy or Paris or some other far-off destination… all in the privacy of their own home.
These organic "Aroma Spa Packages" are Visualized Vacations that whisk the pampered person off to one of twelve different destinations around the world -- such as the Greek Isles, the Caribbean or Tahiti -- but without the cost and the crowds, or the hassle of flying.
"For those who don't have the time or money to go to a spa, they can at least take it home with them," says Debra Mangum, owner of Patch Me Up™, who introduced the packages earlier this month. "Women and Men can still feel pampered, nourishing their bodies, lifting their spirits and feeding the soul."
She adds that the aroma spa packages are already proving popular and she expects this trend to continue in the coming months, even when the economy gets pumping again.
To view the aroma spa packages, go to www.patchmeuporganics.com/products.cfm?categoriesID=22.
So how do they work?
Specially selected aromas and music help you relax. Using visualization of images of experiences past or present (visualization and imagery) conjure up pleasant relaxing images, to the body and brings the body to a relaxed state seeing a picture perceived in the mind. Mangum says, similar to how freshly baked goods can remind one of going to Grandma's house. It's called visualization and imagery, and these packages have a clever way of helping the person picture themselves in a specific location or mentally taking them back to a place they have previously visited. To assure this visualized voyage is not disturbed a "Do Not Disturb" sign is also supplied that can be hung outside the traveler's door.

What separates Patch Me Up Organics Lotions and Soaps apart from other soaps on the Market?

What you should know about Parabens:
These groups of chemicals are used as preservatives in cosmetics, and are antibacterial agents in some antibacterial toothpaste. Four main parabens are in use: methyl, ethyl, propyl and butylparabens; many products will have 2 or more of these chemicals as part of a preservative system. As preservatives in cosmetics are on the label in the EU it is easy to find out which products contain these chemicals.
Oestrogenic effects
In late 1998 John Sumpter's group at Brunel University, UK, published a paper identifying parabens as estrogen mimics (Routledge et al., 1998). The author’s state:
"Given their use in a wide range of commercially available topical preparations, it is suggested that the safety in use of these chemicals should be reassessed, with particular attention being paid to estimation of the actual levels of systemic exposure of humans exposed to these chemicals. The acquisition of such data is a prerequisite to the derivation of reliable estimates of the possible human risk of exposure to parabens."
In a screen with a human estrogen receptor expressed by yeast cells the potency of the parabens group was butylparaben, propylparaben, ethylparaben, methylparaben. When methylparaben and butylparaben were injected into immature or ovariectomized rats, butylparaben led to an increase in uterus weights (an oestrogenic effect), whereas methylparaben had no detectable effect.
Another study examining effects on excurrent ducts of the rat testis through puberty to adulthood found no effects from butylparabens (Fisher et al, 1999); however this used much lower doses than the Routledge work.
Industry response
The European Cosmetic Toiletry and Perfumery Association COLIPA stated that the Routledge work was 'irrelevant' as 'Parabens are hydrolysed in the skin and we have data to show that none are entering the blood stream, and said that the Industry had no plans to follow up the work.
'What we really want to know is what effects may come from low exposures over a long period of time.’ That is the realistic exposure mechanism.
