Following the success of our 2007 conference on MolecularMechanisms of Neurodegeneration, Andrew Dillin (HowardHughes Medical Institute/Glenn Center for AgingResearch/Salk Institute, USA) will be chairing our nextconference in the series. This year, Dr. Dillin will bejoined by co-chairs David Holtzman (Washington UniversitySchool of Medicine, USA) and Sean Morrison (University ofMichigan, USA).

They come from small red berries and evergreen forests, but these skin-care ingredients can go head-to-head with their lab-grown peers. Meet the natural wonders that are generating buzz and transforming complexions.

Youve probably seen headlines like: I Washed My Face With Honey and It Was the Most Amazing Thing Ever. Though we dont actually drizzle the stuff on our face as if its a parfait, honey as a skin-care ingredient specifically manuka honey from New Zealand or Australia is, in fact, amazing. Unlike the antioxidants in other honey varieties, the ones in manuka honey are very strong, so they dont get destroyed as easily, says Jeannette Graf, a dermatologist in Great Neck, New York. Add to that the fact that manuka honey is super moisturizing and suddenly smearing it on directly from the jar doesnt seem so crazy after all. Its also antibacterial, which means its good for acne, says Graf. Kiehls Pure Vitality Skin Renewing Cream relies on the ingredients high polyphenol content to protect the skin barrier while moisturizing, and Kate Somerville Goat Milk De-Puffing Eye Balm ($38) pairs manuka honey with peptides to soften lines and leave skin dewy.

Also known by whats surely a Balderdash word (kinnikinnick), the bearberry plant is one of natures most potent skin brighteners. In addition to antioxidants, bearberry extract contains arbutin, which acts a lot like hydroquinone (the most effective ingredient for fading dark spots). Both inhibit the tyrosinase enzyme involved in pigment production, says Jordana Herschthal, a dermatologist in Boca Raton, Florida. Although naturally occurring arbutin isnt quite as potent as hydroquinone, it may be safer, she says. (You shouldnt use hydroquinone when youre pregnant or nursing.) Bearberry should help fade dark spots in about four to six weeks. Since brightening ingredients are more effective when theyre paired with a retinoid, products with both (like Allies of Skin Bright Future Overnight Facial , $114, and Dr. Dennis Gross Ferulic Acid + Retinol Brightening Solution , $88) will get you glowier, faster.

You may have heard us mention retinol, oh, once or twice. The magical ingredient has been smoothing lines, fading spots, and busting acne since before most millennials were born. Well: Bakuchiol is like a natural version of retinol, says cosmetic chemist NiKita Wilson, who likes it in Whish Recovering Night Cream ($72). The extract comes from the babchi herb, which is used in Chinese medicine to treat skin conditions. The data is really impressive, says Wilson. You get similar efficacy from bakuchiol [as retinol], without the drying side effects. And bakuchiol is an antioxidant, so it can be a better choice when you want both anti-aging and skin brightening, adds cosmetic chemist Ginger King.

Were not talking about any old evergreen. The pine that will transform skin must be the French maritime variety that grows in the Mediterranean region. Research has suggested that extract from the bark of Pinus pinaster can accelerate wound healing and reduce scar formation. Because it offers powerful antioxidant protection from free radical damage, its also great for smoothing aging and photodamaged skin, says cosmetic chemist Joseph Cincotta. (Try Perricone MD High Potency Eye Lift , $100.) If youre concerned more about breakouts than crows-feet, this specific pine is also astringent and mattifies oily skin. (Try Boscia Luminizing Black Mask , $34.) When ingested like in the supplement pycnogenol it delivers a megadose of antioxidants to calm inflammation, protect collagen, and improve hydration levels in the skin, says Cincotta.

Laying seaweed on your face isnt going to do anything except make you smell weird. You have to isolate botanical extracts to change your skin and pulsing an avocado in a Vitamix wont do the trick, says Graf. The exceptions: six raw ingredients that you can pick up at Whole Foods and smear right on your face for effective DIY skin care.

1. To calm breakouts: East Indian sandalwood oil is an essential oil thats antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and ideal for shrinking pimples, says Graf. It can be irritating if you put it directly on skin, though, so dilute one or two drops in six ounces of skin-soothing almond oil.

2. To plump wrinkles and rehab dry skin: Rose hipseed oil contains a natural form of retinol to help improve fine lines, says Marius Morariu, a cofounder of Tracie Martyn skin care. Evening primrose oil is high in omega-6, which is great for severely chapped skin.

3. To get a glow: Many essential oils are too irritating to apply right on your skin, but jojoba, almond, and apricot oils are gentle and absorb easily, making them ideal for moisturizing.

Many women switch to natural skin-care products when theyre pregnant or breastfeeding to avoid exposing their baby to certain synthetic and potentially harmful ingredients. But seeing plant extracts or essential oils on an ingredient list doesnt guarantee safety: There are natural ingredients, like peppermint oil, clary sage oil, rosemary oil, and juniper oil, [in bath soaks and face serums] that have been shown to cause issues with lactation and early labor, says Herschthal, who has studied the effects of skin-care ingredients on pregnant women. If you want to use natural products when youre pregnant, stay away from those ingredients, she says.

Most people know the average person's memory dissipates during the aging process. University of Bonn scientists teamed up with academicians at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem to determine the impact of cannabis on the brain's aging process. These researchers determined cannabis reverses aging processes within the brains of mice.

The Findings

The study revealed that older mice reverted back to the state of 2-month old mice after enjoying an extended low-dose cannabis treatment. These findings are important as they show there are additional options for the treatment of dementia in humans. The study results were recently publicized in the Nature Medicine journal.

The Impact of the Aging Process on the Brain

The brain ages just like every other organ in the human body. The result of this aging process is a decrease in cognitive ability. As an example, people tend to find it difficult to pay attention to multiple things at the same time or learn new concepts/skills as they age. Though this is a normal process, it also leads to dementia. Researchers have been searching for ways to mitigate or completely reverse this process. The scientists referenced above have reversed the processin mice with cannabis treatment. Mice have short life spans and show significant cognitive deficits after a year of life.

About the Study

The researchers provided mice with a small amount of THC. The low dose of cannabis treatment was selected so the mice did not experience a euphoric effect. THC is the active ingredient in cannabis. The treatment was provided to mice that were two months old, a year old and 18 months old. The treatment was applied across four weeks. The scientists then tested the animals' memory performance and learning capacity.

Mice provided with the placebo had the expected age-related memory and learning losses. Mice provided with cannabis enjoyed cognitive functions equal to those of of two-month-old mice. The cannabis treatment totally reversed performance loss in mice. The scientists studiedthe gene activity and brain tissue of treated mice to determine exactly what sort of effect cannabis treatment had in particularly old mice.

Following treatment, the molecular signature did not match that of old mice. Instead, it was similar to young mice. Furthermore, the quantity of links in the brain's nerve cells increased. These cells are vital to one's ability to learn. The bottom line is that cannabis treatment turned back the molecular clock in mice and it might be able to do the same in humans.

What led up to the Research

The cannabis treatment success stems from years of intense research. The scientists found the brain ages more rapidly when mice are not equipped with functional THC receptors. Cannabinoid 1 receptors are best defined as proteins where substances halt and stimulate a signal chain. These receptors are the cause of the euphoric effects of THC in marijuana and hashish. THC replicates the effects of the cannabinoids that are naturally created in the body. Cannabinoids perform vital functions within the brain. As one ages, the number of cannabinoids produced in the brain decrease. As the cannabinoid system declines the brain ages quite rapidly.

The Next Step

The next logical step is for researchers to perform clinical trials to determine if cannabis also reverses the aging process in the brains of human beings. Cannabis is widely usedfor medical purposes.It is also possible that cannabis boosts cognitive ability in aging adults. Though mice are not exactly the same as humans, the research team believes cannabis treatment will prove to be an effective means of treating dementia suffered by human beings across the world.

Cannabis Reverses Brain Aging - Anti Aging News

Anti-aging medicine is a clinical specialty is founded on the application of advanced scientific and medical technologies for the early detection, prevention, treatment, and reversal of age-related dysfunction, disorders, and diseases. It is a healthcare model promoting innovative science and research to prolong the healthy lifespan in humans. As such, anti-aging medicine is based on principles of sound and responsible medical care that are consistent with those applied in other preventive health specialties. The phrase "anti-aging," as such, relates to the application of advanced biomedical technologies focused on the early detection, prevention, and treatment of aging-related disease.

Anti-aging medicine complements regenerative medicine, as both specialties embrace cutting-edge biomedical technologies aimed at achieving benefits for both the quality and quantity of the human lifespan. Some of the most promising aspects of regenerative medicine, most notably:

Taken collectively, the advancements offered by anti-aging and regenerative medicine to improve the quality of, and/or extend the length of, the human lifespan, are the singlemost potent emerging biomedical technologies today.

Universally, those involved in healthcare, or those whose fields of expertise intersect with healthcare issues, support anti-aging medicine as a healthcare model promoting innovative science and research to prolong the healthy human lifespan. Public policy organizations and government agencies in a number of nations are now embracing anti-aging medicine as a viable solution to alleviate the mounting social, economic, and medical woes otherwise anticipated to arrive with the trend of unprecedented global aging.

Anti-aging medicine is now practiced by thousands of physicians in private medical offices, as well as at some of the most prestigious teaching hospitals around the world. Involving a patient base in the hundreds of thousands worldwide, anti-aging medicine is achieving demonstrable and objective results that beneficially impact the degenerative diseases of aging.
