My Fellow Members

At the Special General Meeting on 10/11/11, Resolution 4 was passed to allow Members, who wish to vote in GC elections, to collect their ballot slips on the day following the Annual General Meeting (“AGM”). Previously, Members could only collect their ballot slips at the AGM.

Resolution 1, to lower the 75% major-ity required to change the planned total membership (“PTM”), was not approved. Similarly, Resolution 2, to introduce a 2-year term for GC, was not carried. Resolution 3 was withdrawn.

As things stand, the Club can accept another 55 Ordinary Members before we reach our PTM of 4,000. We expect to welcome our 4,000th Ordinary Member in about April 2012. After that, we can-not accept any more Ordinary Members and our revenue from Entrance fees will be insignificant, comprising the payments of Entrance fees of Ordinary Members who pay on the instalment programme and from Term Members. Members are aware that the revenue from Entrance fees for FY2010/11 was $5 million and for FY2011/12 is projected at $4.2 million. In the circumstances, to cover the expect-ed shortfall in FY2012/13, GC intends to propose, among other measures, an increase in members’ subscriptions at the forthcoming AGM.

At the same time, GC is engag-ing Management on ways to increase productivity, cut wastage and reduce inefficiencies, in order to trim costs.

With regards to productivity and effi-ciency, Members may wish to ponder how far they are prepared to go. Some Members tell me that we are not “effi-cient” because, compared to, say, a hotel or a restaurant, we seem to have more people doing a similar piece of work. If that observation is correct, why are we doing it? In other words, why is our Club not run on a strict commercial basis? But, what do Members really want? I think Members will agree that they do expect, and rather enjoy, the level of service and attention they receive at the Club. Are we prepared to do away with all that? If so, will the Club, as we all know it, remain the same?

Recently, the Churchill Room was re-opened after extensive renovations. Some Members say that we should not allow Members to hold private func-tions in the Churchill Room, especially on weekends, because they too want to enjoy it. Why spend about $1.9 million of Members’ money to benefit only the few Members who hold private functions, and whose guests include non members?

Management tells me that the rev-enue from private functions (in the Churchill Room before the renovations), is not small. Without it, the losses in the Churchill Room will be even greater. However, Members’ grievances about being denied the opportunity to enjoy the renovated Churchill Room are entirely understandable and valid. If we disallow private functions in the Churchill Room, will the revenue from Members add up? Based on historical figures, it doesn’t. But, as a members’ club, the reasonable wishes of members must be respected. As such, GC has decided that, for a 3-month trial period, beginning January 2012, the Club will not accept any bookings from Members for private functions in the Churchill Room for the first Friday and Saturday of the month. The matter will be reviewed at the end of the trial period.

On another note, sometime last month, I was informed that our General Manager (“GM”) wanted certain premises in the kitchen to be vacated urgently. I asked the GM and the affected parties to meet with me and some GC members to discuss that and the serious problem of rising food costs. The GM did not want to attend the meeting. As I was busy, I cancelled the meeting and asked GC members to ascertain the facts in the meantime.

I saw the GM on Friday, 4/11/11 and asked him why he wanted the prem-ises. He did not want to tell me. Instead, he said that certain GC members had undermined his authority by talking to members of the staff.

Eventually, he said that he needed the premises as storage space following the renovation of the Churchill Room. I asked him to walk me through the kitch-en. He refused. I told him that I wanted to be shown the kitchen to understand what he meant. He refused and said that he would arrange for someone to do it.

I wrote to inform him that I found his attitude to be completely unacceptable. Shortly afterwards, he resigned.

GC met on Tuesday, 8/11/11 and accepted his resignation with immediate effect.

The Club is looking for a new General Manager. In the interim period, GC has appointed Clara Tan, our Financial Controller, to oversee the operations of the Club.

On a happier note, the Club has lined up a whole range of activities and events for Members for the festive season. I am pleased to tell you that all the events have received very good support from Members, and that some of the more

popular ones, like the New Year’s Eve Ball, are fully booked, and that there is a considerable waiting list.

Helen and I would like to take this opportunity to wish Members, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE


FINANCIAL CONTROLLER’S MESSAGE

Dear Members

The Christmas season is upon us, and it is, as always, the busiest month for the Club.

We have started the fest ive celebrations with the Christmas Pantomime, which was held on 26 and 27 November to a full house. You can also look forward to the fol-lowing Christmas promotions:

• Annual Christmas Ladies Luncheon • Pre-Christmas Champagne Brunch• Christmas Eve Gala Dinner• Christmas Day Set Lunch• Christmas Day Set Dinner• Boxing Day Brunch

Details of these functions can be found on page 19.

We are also looking forward to joining you in ushering in the New Year at our New Year’s Eve Ball. As we count down to 2012, we hope to make the New Year a special one, so

party hard with your friends and fam-ily at the Club!

While we enjoy the festivities in the midst of giving and receiving gifts, the Club does not forget the less privileged. The management and staff will be organising a Charity Christmas Party for the children of the Children’s Aid Society. You can help make this holiday season special for them by giving cash donations; the Donation Box will be placed at the Reception Counter in the main Clubhouse from 26 November to 30 December. On behalf of the chil-dren, we thank you for your generous support.

We have received many positive feedback on the newly-renovated Churchill Room and Main Lobby. Phase 2 of the renovation work at the main entrance will commence in the middle of February in 2012.

I hope to continue receiving your unending support of the Club. And please do provide feedback regularly.

Together, we shall make The Tanglin Club the premier Club for all our Members.

On behalf of the management & staff, I wish all of you a Merry Christmas, and a Prosperous 2012!

Glassware Around The PoolIn October, a child of a Member was injured by pieces of glass from a jug that was thrown into the swimming pool by another child. The injured child received imme-diate medical attention, and is currently recovering after receiving follow-up treatment.

Due to this unfortunate incident, the Club has taken the necessary action to ensure that glass and ce-ramic tableware are banned from the poolside and its adjacent areas.

The Club would like to remind its Mem-bers that it is their personal responsibility to supervise their children and guests at all times when they are in the Club premises.

On Sunday, 6 November, we had the great pleasure of hosting a small group of bowlers from Mossman,

Sydney representing the Warringah Club. They were a snazzily attired group resplendent in their trendy club uniforms illustrating how the sport is now shaking off the image of “oldies” only. We, of course, have never had that problem!

Because only eighteen players were available, just six of whom were visitors, it was decided to play three rinks of triples with three Tanglin players granted honor-ary Warringah membership for the afternoon. We don’t want to dwell too much on the outcome, but after close scoring, the record shows a win for Tanglin by three rinks to nil. Everybody had a good time both during and after the game.

The close of the season, not now far away, brings three very important commitments for all bowlers, Club Members in general and their guests. First on Sunday, 18 December, the Christmas Carnival (fancy dress, please) will commence at 3.45pm, played on a fun basis:

format to be decided, followed by Christmas Dinner in the Tangles restaurant from 7pm till late. $10 for Section Members and $20 for Club Members and guests. Please register as soon as possible because there is likely to be a large turnout.

On Friday, 27 January 2012, the Section’s annual din-ner and presentation of championship awards for 2011 will take place. Our first friendly against SCC for 2012 will be on Sunday,29 January at Tanglin Green. Please mark your diary now.

Your convenor and his committee send festive greet-ings to all bowlers, their families and friends and express the wish that 2012 will be successful in every way for all of us. Hope to see you soon, preferably on the green.

BRIDGE

For the benefit of new Tanglin Club members from over-seas,

who may not be familiar with Diwali, and it’s importance with our Indian Community, here is a brief over-view. It is also one of the major Festivals celebrated in Singapore. Deepavali, or Diwali as it is popularly called, is one of the biggest festivals of India and is the most well-known of all Indian Festivals.

It is a five day celebration of the Festival of Lights held in honour of Lakshmi, the Hindu Goddess of wealth and prosperity.

The name of the festival comes from the Sanskrit word Deepavali, meaning row of lights. Diwali is known as the ‘festival of lights’ because houses, shops and public places are decorated with small earth-enware oil lamps called diyas. These lamps, which are traditionally fueled by mustard oil, are placed in rows in windows, doors and outside build-ings to decorate them. The lamps are lit to help the goddess Lakshmi find her way into people’s homes. Diwali also celebrates the return of Rama and Sita in the story from Ramayana where good triumphs over evil. Rows of lighted lamps were placed around the home, in courtyards and gar-dens to light the way for Rama and Sita’s triumphant homecoming to Ayodhya, Rama’s Kingdom, after 14

years of exile.The festival celebrates the victory

of good over evil, light over dark-ness and knowledge over ignorance, although the actual legends that go with the festival are different in dif-ferent parts of India.

As Singapore is a multi-cultural society, the most meaningful defi-nition of Diwali to me, is from an editorial I came across in The Times of India.

In our world today, it summed up the modern meaning of Diwali.

“Regardless of the mythologi-cal explanation one prefers, what the festival of lights really stands for today is a reaffirmation of hope, a renewed commitment to friend-ship and goodwill, and a religiously sanctioned celebration of the sim-ple and not so simple joys of life.”– Times of India Editorial

So it is in this spirit that we, mem-bers of the Tanglin Club and our guests, come together each year to celebrate Diwali with an afternoon of Bridge, to bond in friendship and enjoy ourselves.

The Raffles Room was deco-rated in the traditional Indian way . Garlands of marigold flowers were placed on the buffet and registra-tion tables. In the room, at strategic locations, earthen pots with light-ed candles added a lovely glow.

Our members and guests arrived all dressed up for the occasion. Everyone looked festive and beauti-ful. A thoughtful touch was found at the entrance of the Raffles room, where a Urli (round brass pot ) filled with flowers and floating candles was placed as a welcome symbol. The high tea buffet served, was a substantial spread of Indian special-ties accompanied with Indian music. Spirits were happy and high and during the tea break, the Garba, a traditional Indian dance in celebra-tion of Diwali, was initiated by a few of our Indian members and later spontaneously joined by many others to dance part of the afternoon away .

Happy Bridging All

DARTS

A Good Saturday OutingOn the afternoon of Saturday, 5th November, 12

darters from the Darts Section turned up for a very enjoyable game of darts. Those who turned up were:

Men: M.C. Cheong, Lee Tek Kong, Khor Buck Chye, Phua Seng Kok and David Goh

Ladies: Esther Ling, Lily Lim, Eunice Lim, Sepalika Kumarasinghe, Lillian Lee, Mavis Light and Nancy Chua.

Besides the occasions where there was complete silence when members were concentrating on their throws, there was a lot of laughter and all those who believe that “laughter is the best medicine” should make it a point to come and join us. Our next Saturday pro-gramme is on 3rd December, so do come and join us for an afternoon of excitement, and fun and laughter.

As there was a good mix of ladies and male darters present, we managed to play a number of games and priz-es were awarded to all the winners.

In the Bulls’ Eye game, there was a big surprise for all of us, as it was the first time since the formation of this section that a darter had managed to land all three of his darts on the Bulls’ Eye. When the first dart landed on the bulls’, many did not pay much attention, as it is common to see someone doing this. However, when the second one landed again on the same spot, it created

much excitement, and everyone stopped whatever they were doing and glued their eyes on the thrower to see whether he could be the first to land 3 darts on the same spot. It was a pleasant surprise to all that this task was accomplished and it was not done by our top darters but by a part-time darter, David Goh who only comes and plays darts whenever he is in town.

The next Dart Section function will be our Christmas Party, and it will be held on 10th December, at the Churchill Room. It will start at 7pm and tickets are limited, so please sign up early so that you will be able to secure a place. Please call Alan Tan or Ilsa to make your bookings.

FITNESS

Farmers Walk

Heart Beat Squat

Single Arm Dumbbell Bench Press

When we think about core exercises, most of us think of crunches, planks, leg raises and all the

“core” specific exercises. The truth is, a lot exercises that we do can be turned into a great “core” exercise if we were to do it in an “unbalance” manner.

Example: try doing a dumbbell chest press using a single dumbbell instead of twos and try to do it nice and slowly: you will notice your core will kick in almost instantaneously. What has happened is that your body is trying to counter the rotation force occurring at the extremity; thus, the reflex stabilisation is kicking in.

Give the following exercises a try and see how your core feels the next day.

• Lock your lumbar spine into neutral position, push your weight onto hips and slide the hand (without the kettlebell) down the inner thigh as

far as comfortable.

• Then move back into the standing position letting your core muscles take in the weight.

Kettlebell WindmillLower back pain can be caused by a number of things. Most of the time it’s due to muscle weakness or muscle imbalance. Kettlebell has helped many people overcome weak glutes, weak hamstrings, weak abdominal muscles and tight hip muscles.

One of my favourite exercises is the kettlebell windmill. It not only improves your strength, but your balance and flexibility. When done correctly, this exer-cise falls in line with the joint-by-joint approach; mobility in the thoracic spine and hips, and stability in the Lumbar spine.

Hayati NuffusPersonal Trainer

FITNESS

• Keep the core engaged and look at

the kettlebell at all times.

Form CheckThe arm holding the kettlebell should be kept straight, perpendicular to the ground, while bending down

and straightening up.

If you can’t go through a full range of motion initially, that’s fine. Work through your functional range, and as your mobility improves, work to slowly increase range of motion.

Please approach any of our certified Kettlebell instructors for assistance.

• Stand with both toes out.

• Lift the kettlebell overhead and find a comfortable resting

spot.

GOLF

Inter Social Clubs Golf TournamentWe had a great day’s golf at NSRCC in November to mark the final and fourth leg of our first season in this competition and congratulations to both Daniel Hayward and David James who carded a respectable 36 points on the day.

We must also thank Singapore Swimming Club for putting on a hard to equal and spectacular end of sea-son gala dinner. The combination of a new ballroom, 120 golfers, a ten course Chinese banquet , f ree f low Black label, a come-dienne, a band and a MediaCorp compere means next year’s end of season host will have their work cut out.

You’ll be pleased to hear that overall for 2011 we did not come last as Changi Beach Club managed to pip us at the clubhouse for that honour and that your Committee had a post-mortem on the event and hatched a cunning plan to give us an evens chance to win the 2012 tournament.

Champions: Serangoon Gardens Country Club on 18 points

Runner Up: Singapore Recreation Club on 16 points

Sixth Position: The Tanglin Club on five points.

GOLF & BILLIARDS

BilliardsJohn Ewing Cup

It is my great pleasure to announce that TC has won the John Ewing trophy back from the SCC. I must say this has been one of the greatest get-togethers we have had in the room, for ages; we have not seen that many people in the Billiards Room all coming

together for the love of snooker. This fellowship between the two clubs has yet again been strengthened and we are looking forward to many great years ahead. To our friends at the SCC, rest assured we will re-shine the cup, proudly display it in our trophy cabinet and will await your return in the next John Ewing games.

Annual Junior Snooker Championship 2011We would like to invite all Household Members under the age of 21 to participate in this Annual Junior Championship. The event will kick off mid-December. Please register your interest with the S&R office.

Coutts Coutts is the wealth division of The Royal Bank of Scotland Group, with offices in Asia, Europe and the offshore centres of Jersey, the Isle of Man and Cayman.

Founded in the UK in 1692, Coutts was one of the early pioneers of private banking. Scottish goldsmith John Campbell moved from Scotland to London and estab-lished his goldsmith-banker’s shop at the ‘sign of the three crowns’ in the Strand, within sight of Coutts’ present head office.

Over the bank’s 320-year history, Coutts has managed the financial affairs of distinguished individuals like Charles Dickens and Frederic Chopin. Coutts links with Singapore go as far back as the 1870s. Customers in this part of the world include several governors of the Straits Settlement, of note were Sir Andrew Clarke who served from 1873 to 1875. Singapore’s Clarke Quay was named after him. They also include Captain Charles Edward Faber, who built the road to Mount Faber, and Sir Nicholas Ridley, father of the Singapore botanical gardens. Some of the statues of Sir Stamford Raffles in Singapore were also built by a Coutts client.

Today, Coutts is a dynamic private bank, carrying on a tradition of offering a very personal service at the heart of its investment activities; with wealth management,

preservation and growth at the top of the list.In the words of Paul Davies, Vice Chairman South East

Asia: “We are delighted to sponsor the Tanglin Club’s golf section in the coming year. Golf is one of the world’s oldest sports and its attributes of commitment, precision and focus are wealth management attributes we share at Coutts, one of the world’s oldest private banks.”

SQUASH

Friendly with the Penang Sports Club October 29The Penang Sports Club visit us annually, and each year the ratio of racketball players to squash players increases.

This is because they play mainly racketball on their squash courts and have more squash players converting.

The Tanglin Club does not have so many who play racketball, but we managed to get a few to try it for the first time, including Lood, Shane, Richard and Adam. The most inter-esting game saw our A grade squash player Lood playing an opponent 30 years his senior, who is very skilled in racketball and still very fit. Lood pre-vailed 2-1 after a tough fight.

Tennis vs. Squash Friendly October 22The format of this event is for the Sections to do battle at tennis, then at squash. It used to be held annually, but this was the first for several years and it was a great success for a several reasons.

First, there was a good response from Members of both Sections. Second, ALL of the tennis players tried squash or racketball on the squash courts. In past years, few tennis players tried squash as it is

easier for squash players to play ten-nis than vice versa. The availability of racketball gear this year made a big difference, as it is much more like tennis with rackets that are like short-handled tennis rackets and a large bouncy ball. Third, there were some very exciting tennis, squash and rack-etball matches. The top 3 were:• Darcy and Craig beating the top tennis pair of Miles and Andrew 7-5

• Bernard’s gallant performance at squash against David Palmer. Despite being on unfamiliar territory, Bernard ran all over court, making much great retrieval.

• Andrew Longfellow’s racketball match with Shane, which he found a bit tiring.

Lastly, we had a few eats and drinks after the games.

As to the results: squash had more players turn up and won more matches, but tennis captain Vincent Lam did some clever computing, using points scored to declare tennis section the winner. I had no argument, as everyone enjoyed it and it is sure to be back to an annual event.

Squash Section Dinner Dance October 28This was held in the Churchill Room

and was an evening of good food, plus good music from a great live band, and compared by an outstanding MC Satyen Desai. Sats kept the night moving and entertained us with some great commentary, together with some fun games and awards.

The photos on the opposing page say it all.

SWIMMING

The Tanglin Club held its 3rd 24-hour Charity Swim jointly with

the Singapore Nautical Institute on 11 to 12 November.

This time around, we paid trib-ute as well as raised awareness (and funds) of the role of seafarers in the world’s economy which is maritime dependent, and how this ‘tiny red dot’ has maintained her position as the world’s busiest port being at the crossroads of the East and West.

Our Club President, along with the Chairman of the Missions to Seafarers (Singapore branch), started the Countdown clock with a blast on the horn as the charismatic Jolyon Caplin entertained with his juggling and balancing acts. The swimmers, both youthful and mature, started the swim at quite a lightning pace as if a race were going on. The pool was dynamic with lots of wave motion,

and the weather was cooperative. As the hours passed with stars

enveloping the skies, it was time for the Corporate Midnight Challenge. The pool was cleared for enthusiastic teams made up mostly of seafarers from various countries. Previously, the Triathlon Family Team won the inaugural CF Memorial Challenge with a creditable 636 laps (21.2km) in the space of six hours. This time around, we were looking for speed, and to champion the team that could compete 200 laps in the shortest time. That honour was won by the team “Spirit of Francis” and had lead from start to finish.

As the hours wore on, the moon-light glittered on the water’s surface as many swimmers took the oppor-tunity to take a break, leaving the pool to a handful of extreme swim-mers with the intent of clocking

more laps than others to fulfil their targets. Daybreak saw quite a num-ber of Tanglin Club swimmers take to the pool as they freshly swam up and down the pool. The ‘Baker’ family was in the thick of things, with Stuart swimming at such a pace that made many of us feel tired just watching him. Others started stream-ing in and the pool was again a hive of activity under the watchful eye of officials from the tireless The Tanglin Club Staff, management from The Singapore Nautical Institute, and the ever alert paramedics from Hope Ambulance.

By lunch time, more swimmers had joined in, as the pool got a lit-tle crowded with younger members ‘splashing’ in the name of charity. There was also a life-jacket swim challenge as several teams swam efficiently with lifejackets to display

24-Hour Charity Swim cum Dinner & Dance

SWIMMING

their technique of movement. As we moved towards the final hour, I myself rushed back to the pool to complete my laps as previously pledged. As the countdown clock moved towards the final few min-utes, more swimmers jumped in for a final swim. So 24 hours passed with-out incident and to the cheers of the crowd; as The Tanglin Club, we had accomplished our target yet again.

The victory dinner this time was not at the poolside as in previ-ous years as we all quickly changed clothes and headed to our newly-renovated Churchill Room for a formal Dinner & Dance. The MC for the evening was Winston, the Hon Secretary of the Youth Skipper Flotilla (YSF). He shared with us the vision and work of the YSF and showed a video and photo mon-tage. As for formalities, the President

of The Singapore Nautical Institute gave a speech and shared the work of the Mission to Seafarers (the main beneficiary of the Charity Swim) and thanked The Tanglin Club for their great support and hosting of the event. Presentations of the TC plaque was given as recognition to key sponsors. As we all tucked into the sumptuous buffet, entertainment was provided by the evergreen Capt Savio, who belted a few songs with flair before Ms Faridah Ali came on stage and sang her own composition, much to the delight of all. It was then rock & roll time as the guests contin-ued to be entertained with music, fine wine and sumptuous cuisine.

On behalf of The Tanglin Club Swim Committee and The Singapore Nautical Institute, I would like to thank the President of The Tanglin Club, swimmers and supporters,

Members and guests, who contrib-uted in making this our 3rd Charity Swim, a success, and especially to Arziz, our Swimming Section Executive who worked tirelessly in ensuring that all went smoothly.

TENNIS

Junior Tennis CampsWith Santa on the way from the North Pole, and Xmas ever so close, we’ve added an extra junior camp for those kids who will be spending Christmas in Singapore.

The additional camp will run from Monday, 19 December to Friday, 23 December, from 9am to 12 noon. Information and registration forms can be found at the tennis office and all ages are welcome. Lots of tennis and some cooling swims will see the kids stay active for the week prior to Christmas Day.

Ken SmithTennis Coach

Junior Play Of The MonthVibhav Jagwani has been chosen as the Junior Player

of the Month for December due to his endless enthusiasm for the game of tennis, and his ever-impressive attitude both on and off the court. An extremely keen tennis player, Vibhav trains hard to get the most out of his practice sessions as he competes in the Club’s Junior Tennis League team, as well as playing in every event of The Tanglin Club Junior Tennis Series. A hard trainer, an attentive listener, a fierce competitor but always a humble and friendly person, we congratulate Vibhav for being December’s Junior Player of the Month. Well done!

Farewell To Coach ScottAfter 4 years of dedicated service, one of The Tanglin

Club’s favorite tennis coaches is heading home to his native shores of Australia. Scott McLean first started at the club in 2008 and instantly became popular amongst the tennis playing community. His energetic and encouraging personality combined with his many years of coaching experience were such that within months, his days were full with eager Members looking to fine tune their games. Additionally, Scott was instrumental in helping create and grow the Club’s junior tennis program which now has over 160 juniors actively playing tennis and this is in no small part a result of the hard work and dedication of Scott. He will be sadly missed on the courts of Tanglin, but we wish Scott all the best in his future endeavors and we say thank you for your time spent with us.

Player of the Month: Vibhav Jagwani.

WELLNESS

There is nothing more distressing than seeing your hair line thin at

the same time your waistline thickens. But the truth of the matter is that as we age, this is likely to happen.

For most people, hair looks best in our teens and 20s. And then some-thing happens, and there’s no turning back – unless we do something about it. There is reason to believe that the free radical damage (caused by our continuous exposure to pollutants) contributing to ageing is also respon-sible for hair loss. Then there are all the chemical treatments from pro-cesses like colouring and perming

that dry and weaken the hair, increas-ing breakage and making the hair loss seem worse.

Other reasons range from exces-sive sebum to poor circulation and poor circulation runs contrary to the hair root being well supplied with blood to strengthen and support hair growth. It can be said that hair is a good measurement of how your health is faring generally.

Fo r men , and some o lde r women, it is the scourge known as ‘Androgenetic alopecia’, more commonly known as male pattern baldness. The term comes from three words: “Andro”, which refers to androgen, covering the spectrum of hormones such as testosterone that control the appearance and devel-opment of masculine characteristics; “genetic”, which means the inheri-tance of a gene for hair loss; and “alopecia”, which refers to hair loss. Androgenetic alopecia affects 95 per-cent of adults who are experiencing hair loss.

One of the most popular and effective treatments for hair loss from androgenic alopecia is Minoxidil (you may know it as Regaine), which has been proven to slow hair loss and promote hair regrowth.

For the rest of us who need a boost in the hair department,

aromatherapy has been known to be very helpful. Essential

oils combined with scalp massage encourage circu-

lation, encourage new growth and stimulate

hair follicles. With regu lar and

c o r r e c t

use, these healing aromatic oils can help grow hair and improve the tex-ture of hair that is already present.

Aromatherapy oils may be mixed in with your shampoo, or blended with carrier oils such as jojoba to be used as a hair treatment or in a head massage. These essential oils include:

• Lemongrass, excellent for cleansing and preventing a greasy scalp.

• Juniper or Cypress, which works to prevent hair loss by easing the effects of stress and improving blood circulation to the scalp.

• Basil oil, which soothes scalp inflammation and improves scalp circulation, making way for healthy hair growth.

• Bay, which stimulates hair growth, diffuses dandruff problems and revitalises dull hair.

• Lavender oil, which has a calming effect on the skin of the scalp.

• Sage used as a hair rinse may darken hair color and help reduce hair loss.

Oils like rosemary, lemon and grapefruit are effective as well but avoid rosemary oil if you have high blood pressure, and keep lemon and grapefruit doses low if you have sensitive skin, as they may be slightly irritating. For this reason, it’s best to leave it to the professional aromatherapists.

Restoring lost hair to alopecia can take anywhere from three months to six months or longer. Although aromatherapy is a long-term commit-ment, it does offer the ability to take control of your hair loss issues.

Purchase any of these products in 500ml and receive another in 250ml FREE! Purchase any two of these products in 500ml and you get a third one FREE!
