Take a look around- what you see in the TV is nothing like the real world. In this post we want to show you the canons of beauty from around the world. We really hope that after reading this you will feel good in your body. No matter how you look like: There is no one like you on this Earth! Beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder and with 6 billion sets of eyes in the world I guess it stands to reason that we could well have 6 billion differing ideals of beauty right?
It certainly seems that my friend was not alone in his thinking and in many ways the whole world seems to agree with him. Venezuela holds the record for the number of Miss World winners and Colombia also generally fares very highly. So what of these aesthetics?
Beauty, Hair and Body Care in the Canon of Ibn Sina
Well firstly, let me tell you that because of its rich mix of cultures, Latin American women range wildly in terms of skin tone, hair type and features. One can easily see elements of the Spanish conquerors, Indigenous peoples, African Slaves and other European influences in the countries men and women. However, one thing that the beauty Queens tended to have in common was that they were all pretty pale and close to even a Caucasian skin tone.
It was also quite common for them to have dyed their hair blond nobody in South America has naturally light hair in what was a blatant appropriation of the US and European beauty standard. Well, plastic surgery is very popular in Latin America with breast and butt enlargements commonplace. A few months after the Miss Colombia pageant I was in Venezuela and stood in a packed out burger joint as the crowd watched Miss Colombia become Miss World.
Despite the sibling-esque rivalry between these countries, the crowd seemed satisfied that the world had yet again agreed that Latin women are indeed the most beautiful.

One of the things that impressed me the most when I visited Siem Reap, in Cambodia, was that women were completely covered even in the most horrible, humid heat. I understood the need to get fully covered in religious places such as the Temples of Angkor Wat, and did the same.
But what was the point of suffering tremendously, wearing a sweater, sweatpants or pants, socks, a hat, a mask over the face and at times even gloves, in over 40 degrees Celsius? Have you heard of the Long Neck Tribe? The Kayan Padaung women are wearing the brass coils on their necks.
There are many theories why they are doing this. That is the only thing that makes them beautiful. They are starting wearing the coils when they are about 5 years old.

They are usually taking them off once a year, to clean them and to add another one. As he explains, he tried different profiles, but these work the best and produce the most similar results. And this is how they compare:. What do you think? Like would you seriously get a a9 or mk4 and shoot jpeg with it for portraits? Looks like he hand held both camera so the focusing could easily have been the other way around…. I never understood the skin tone thing.

If the disease is in its early stages and mild, some of the following simpler drugs mufred devalar may be administered:. Ossa sepiae, decapedae etc. Ibn Sina drawing by A. In the third article, besides the examples given, other skin diseases such as; blister based skin diseases; itching and its treatment; calluses and obtaining calluses; skin fissures in the lips, feet and between fingers; fissures and wounds resulting from lying in bed for lingering amounts of time; pungent smells radiating from skin, urine etc.
In the fourth article, with which the topic " zina " is discussed, subjects related with the body and limbs are studied. To achieve this, the causes of emaciation are determined and are defined as the following:. According to these manuscripts the majority of vegetables, broth, egg yolk, radish, mustard, liver, piecles etc. Typically, the corrupt humour causing weakness is the "cold" humor mizac-i barid. This condition is observed more frequently in those who have the habit of activating their function of attracting food by their own "attractive force" with the help of exercise, this is, sports.
If such people remain in continuous inactivity, however moderate, mutedil the food they eat may be, the "attraction of food" by the attractive force weakens. Here the importance of sports is mentioned in the terms of feeding. Splenomegali and resulting pressure on the liver is a cause of emaciation. As a result of spleenomegali, the attraction of the spleen is higher, compared to that of the liver.
The liver organises inefficiently the food that diffuses in the body. This pressure causes the liver to weaken, rendering the "food" that flows out of the liver as insufficient. The loss of weight is related to the disturbance of the liver. Other reasons of underlying emaciation include the pores and canals in the body being blocked. As a result, food cannot diffuse property into the organs, hence, consequently the food is unable to spread throughout the body, causing emaciation.
The agents that cause the pores to be stopped consist of "heat, cold and dryness. Too much dissolution of the food kesret-i tahallul: The food reaches the organs as intended, yet undergoes too much dissolution upon arrival. This reminds us of the catabolism and metabolic reactions. It is possible for those who have become emaciated after a short period, may equally be able to gain weight on after a short period also.
Those who have become emaciated after a long period however may require a longer time to gain weight. This is owing to their humours and ability to benefit from the more nutritious values of food may be low. Metabolic reactions once again seem to be the contributing factor. Ibn Sina then proceeds to explore the reasons underlying why people may not wish to be underweight. According to Ibn Sina, underweight people tend to have thin skin. In such people various spiteful resentments infialat-i nefsaniye , illnesses, fatigue and insomnia may also be frequently observed.
As established earlier, the subject of being underweight and its treatment, which is determined by the cause, will not be discussed further so as to avoid repetition. It is important to state however that different parts of the body such as the hands, legs, etc. This being a remarkable factor from a physiotherapy perspective. Although it is understood that being overweight was regarded as desirable in the past, Ibn Sina had made observations of the harmfulness of obesity. Leading Ibn Sina to conclude that "Obesity also does harm.
The obesity [in overweight people] is not like [that which appears in] normal people. Yet, they do not take it seriously as long as they do not appear to receive any harm from it. But one must protect oneself and beware of excessive obesity. Although they may not be suffering from obesity and see no harm in it, their health may unexpectedly fail. In order to lose weight, Ibn Sina advices people to partake in diets, bathing and intensive sports.
After achieving these regimes, methods for toning organs such as the arms and legs are discussed. Finally, nail diseases are studied. The topic " zina " ends with subjects such as pulling nails out, protecting newly growing nails, blood blisters in the nail etc. Subjects are essentially classified according to the "symptoms". Hair shedding, skin-growing pale, becoming underweight. Thus, some of skin diseases are discussed in the article on "hair", yet others are studied under categories such as "Skin Colour".
Further, this discourse on the subject in question may exclude the third article where only skin diseases are deliberated. Another classification was made in relation to the organs. The topic zina begins with the head, studying the "hair" and concludes with the foot studying the subject of the "nail". Only in this manner can we explain why nail diseases are discussed succeeding the subjects on obesity and emaciation. The topic zina deals only partly with cosmetics. This is primarily with regard to the first and second articles where formulas for hair and skin care are given.
Besides chapters on other subjects such as skin diseases, metabolism, nourishment and haematology, physical therapy is also discussed thoroughly. It is important to note that the main underlying purpose Ibn Sina wished to highlight in the chapter on "zina" is not beautifying people. He discussed all subjects from a strictly medical point of view and solely aimed to "cure" these diseases which "spoil the appearance.
Many "observations" given under the title " zina " are surprisingly remarkable. The subject " Ziynet " dealing with the externally observable symptoms, observation ought to have made medical problem solving easier for physicians.
