Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Hello Mr. Fractionator, Are you sure this is not due to dry skin? If a moisturizers don't do the trick in the next couple of months, this is something to ponder about.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Hi, Just a quick response..I never had this happen personally however, my husband had strange things happen when he started ashtanga 15 years ago. He started in Mysore and was very stiff in his knees and back. Apparently with the heat created and the strength of Guruji when putting him into postures, the impurities of the body were coming out. Around the knee and on the spine. It's pretty amazing how this practice works!! He had some "indian" recipe with mud and cabbage (I know sounds a bit strange) that was packed on the areas and eventually the bumbs went away. So, take it as a good sign. Stuff that has been building up in the body is now releasing :-) Take care, Namaste, Linda Linda Munro Ashtanga Paris www.ashtangayogaparis.fr "The Fractionater" <the.fractionater ashtanga yoga ashtanga yoga ashtanga yoga spots on my back! Tue, 28 Feb 2006 10:59:13 -0000 Quick question - has anyone experienced this before? My skin is normally pretty good, but over the last couple of months I seem to have broken out into quite a few spots on my back and shoulders - Whats this got to do with Ashtanga??? ....Well, I come from a background of lifting weights, wrestling, and hard martial arts...which I gave up over 2.5 yrs ago and took up ashtanga instead. Now as a result of my weights I created a lot of tightness and inflexibility in my shoulders and back...and it so happens that over the last 2 months I'm experiencing a massive change in the openness of these areas. Could this be causing the spots on my back and shoulders say via toxins being released or some other process? Has anyone else experienced this before? Ok...I'm off for a back cleanse now!

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Hi, I have experienced this before. When I would wera a rucksack for quite a while I would develop a few spots at certain points in my shouders. I agree with the notion that it is toxins clearing out of the system, if they are white heads it is white because that is the colour of dead leucocytes, or white blood cells trying to fight off an infection. Rubbing urine into the skin rather than soap can be a good way of improving the quality of the skin. Working from the inside out, your diet will have a lot to do with it as well. I suppose its better that stuff comes to the surface rather than being stuck within in the tissues. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
