Healing Benefits of Thai Herbal Massage

The healing practice of Thai herbal ball massage therapy dates back nearly 5,000 years, to an era when the knowledge of plants, including their effects through ingestion or application on the body, were painstakingly researched and then passed down from one generation to the next. This herbal therapy was designed to relieve pain and inflammation. A selection of therapeutic herbs, including prai, ginger, turmeric and lemongrass, are wrapped in a muslin compress, steamed and then applied to the body in gentle pressing, circular and rolling movements.

Spring is often associated with re-birth, renewal and rejuvenation. As the earth rotates to increase daylight to the relevant hemisphere, our brains and bodies also need similar adjustment. Taking time to clean up our mental clutter is important to our sense of balance. Advanced technologies such as Direct Neurofeedback can help support this overall renewal of your mind and body by re-balancing the communication between the left and right parts of our brain. Optimizing our brainwave patterns, can lead to increased energy, elevated mood, improved sleep, and result in overall better productivity as we spring forward into optimal selves.

Essential Oils for Travel

Essential oils can be great travelling companions. Be sure to keep a bottle of Eucalyptus essential oil in your carry-on. Eucalyptus is known as an immune booster and decongestant; if change of altitudes leads to sinus discomfort, inhale this before the plane takes off and while it lands. If you suffer from motion sickness, carry Ginger essential oil with you as it can prevent and reduce symptoms of nausea. Peppermint essential oil may help to prevent headaches caused by motion sickness or stress. If you know what ailments you are prone to, prepare for the journey beforehand by adding a few drops of the correct essential oil to aromatherapy jewelry, or a personal inhaler.

When it’s Not Just Aging

While it’s true that some health conditions are more common with age, there are some symptoms that should be discussed with your doctor. 1. Memory loss – this can sometimes be the result of medications, vitamin deficiencies, and some disorders. 2. Vision problems – getting treatment early for certain vision problems like glaucoma can prevent serious damage. 3. Tooth loss – getting regular dental care can help seniors avoid tooth loss. 4. Depression – certain health conditions and medications can make depression symptoms worse, but this problem can be treated professionally. 5. Weakness – a good exercise program can help prevent loss of muscle mass.

What is Ozone Therapy?

Ozonotherapy or Prolozone Therapy is the use of medical grade ozone, a highly reactive form of pure oxygen, to create a curative response in the body. The body has the potential to renew and regenerate itself. When it becomes sick it is because this potential has been blocked. The reactive properties of ozone stimulate the body to remove many of these impediments thus allowing the body to do what it does best – heal itself. Ozone speeds healing, detoxification and enhances brain function. It activates the immune system; it stimulates damaged joints and degenerative discs to regenerate and it can dramatically reduce or even eliminate many cases of chronic pain. There are professional medical ozonotherapy societies in over ten countries worldwide. http://www.AAOT.us
