Atlanta School of Massage Gives Advice on Using at Home Water Therapy to Ease Pain and Reduce Tension
(ContentDesk) March 19, 2006 -- Atlanta School of Massage, a leader among Massage Therapy schools for over 25 years, offers useful advice on home therapies which can be used to help relieve pain and ease tension between massage therapy visits. Water therapy is a great at home therapy choice because it gives you a range of simple and effective ways of coping with stress, improving circulation and toning skin and muscles.Follow these easy steps to create a relaxing stress relief bath, remembering to always use caution with essential oils: * 2 cups Dead Sea salt, regular Sea Salt or Epsom salt, or a blend of two or three of these salts. * 8-15 drops of your selected essential oil or essential oil blend (see suggestions below). Be sure and take heed in the safety data for the oils you choose to use.
Place the salt mixture into a bowl.
Add 1 Tbs. carrier oil (vegetable oil is fine) and 8-15 drops of your chosen essential oils. Mix very well with a fork. Add the mixture to a pretty jar or container that has a tight fitting lid.
After a day, you may wish to mix well again to ensure that the oils have blended very well.
After you have drawn your bathwater, add about 1/4 cup (about 2 ounces) of the bath salt to your bath water.Mix well to ensure that the salt has dispersed well in the tub and hop on in. It's best to add the bath salts just before getting in the bath instead of while the water is running so that the essential oils don't evaporate before you get in. Using this bath salt blend is safer than adding pure essential oils directly to the bath water and adds minerals and other beneficial properties of the salts.Some blending suggestions for your bath:* A blend of Geranium, Ylang Ylang, Clary Sage and Lavender for stress relief* A blend of Rosemary, Basil and Tangerine for stimulating your mind* A blend of Lavender, Sandalwood, and Marjoram to calm the senses * A blend of Frankincense, Sandalwood and Mandarin to find that special place for inner peaceEssential oil cautions:* Essential oils should ALWAYS be diluted with a carrier oil * Use extreme caution when using essential oils with children under the ageof 2; lower the amount of essential oil to 1 drop diluted in a carrier oil.* For treatment of children 2 and older and the elderly, use 1/2 the amount of your chosen essential oils* Essential Oils are not a substitute for professional medical care. * Do not use near the eyes. * Sensitive skin and allergies* Pregnancy* Seizures / asthma * PhotosensitivityAbout the Massage School Atlanta School of Massage:The Atlanta School of Massage, a pioneer and international leader among Massage Therapy schools, is celebrating 25 successful years in the massage industry.

The process of Digestion:
A clear understanding of the digestive processes that go on in the human body is vital to the understanding of the disorders from which digestion suffers. The major disorder is week digestion, dyspepsia or slackness of digestive processes, which are known, in indigenous medicine as being caused by what is called mandagni.
A three-fold process of digestion, absorption and assimilation accomplishes incorporation of food in human body. Digestion begins the moment food enters the mouth. It mixes with the saliva and is made more permeable for the gastric juice, which exudes from the openings of the tiny glands of the stomach.
The gastric juice consisting of pepsin and rennin breaks down the proteins into smaller molecules. The churning of the stomach mixes the food with the gastric juices and hydrochloric acid and when it becomes soluble it passes through the pylorus, an orifice at the lower end of the stomach, into the bowel....

Is The FDA Really Looking Out For You? Part 2
As reported in the Los Angeles Times article on 2/19/05 "Suspect painkillers win fda panel ok", The fda advisory panel "voted Friday, to let Doctors prescribe COX-2 painkillers, including Celebrex and Vioxx, but recommended stronger warnings about the risk of heart attacks and strokes." Even after Merck removed Vioxx from the shelves last fall, And even after Celebrex and Bextra have also been proven to increase heart attacks, stroke and death, the fda advisory panel now says that it is ok to sell these drugs and other COX-2 inhibitors, and they should only carry the "black box" warning. To say that this is confusing and dangerous to the public is an understatement. Because the fact of the matter is there are many people who naively think that if the fda approves something, it must be safe. They don't question this at all. They blindly follow the advice of their doctor and the fda.
These are the people who are most at risk. To quote the article, "The panel proposed that Celebrex,...
