Restless Leg Syndrome
Have you ever been told that you kick a lot during the night? Or perhaps your spouse does. This could be due to Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). The nerve receptors in the bottom of your feet are hyper-sensitive, and this disorder is part of the nervous system that causes involuntary movement of the legs. RLS usually interferes with sleep and is also considered a sleep disorder. People with chronic diseases like Parkinson’s, diabetes, and peripheral neuropathy often experience RLS. Sleep is important, even more rest is important. So wear at least one Voxxlife sock to bed to calm the nerve receptors.
Protect Teeth from Acid Damage
Dental erosion is a form of tooth wear – where enamel and then dentin is worn down. It is defined as irreversible damage to the teeth caused by chemicals (usually acids). This acid can come from outside sources (e.g., food and drink) or from inside the body. External sources of acids include fruits and fruit juices (particularly citrus), soft drinks, sports drinks, wine, and vinegar. Dental erosion is preventable. The use of a straw can help keep acidic drinks away from the teeth. Rinsing with mouthwash or water after eating can help neutralize the acid exposed to your teeth and gums.
What’s Tok Sen Massage?
Tok Sen Massage originated in northern Thailand and blends elements of traditional Thai massage with the use of Tok Sen instruments. A small mallet and wedge, usually made from the tamarind tree, are used during the massage treatment. These wooden instruments create a deep vibration as one strikes the other, helping to stimulate energy points and energy lines in the body. This is coupled with passive stretches and manual pressure to help bring the mind and body into a state of greater well-being. Tok Sen Massage can be a very relaxing, healing and energizing experience that works with energy flow.
Seniors and Stress Chronic
Chronic stress is harmful to people of all ages, but its impact on older adults can be particularly severe, increasing the risk of age-related diseases, hastening cognitive decline, and even triggering falls. Stressors that are common amongst the elderly include loss of control, personal loss, declining health, financial worries, personal safety, and loss of independence. To reduce stress, get regular exercise, eat balanced meals to ensure the mind and body are properly fueled, and ask for help. Talking with a trusted family member, friend, or healthcare professional, at the very least, releases pent-up stress and may even lead to a solution.
I Can Hear, but Cannot Understand
Age related hearing loss or presbycusis, is one of the most common types of hearing loss. Typically, presbycusis affects a person’s ability to hear high frequency consonants like s, sh,th,f. Consequently, speech may seem muffled and the person may feel like they can hear but not understand. When the auditory centers of the brain are not stimulated properly, they can weaken over time. This results in a decline in a person’s speech processing ability. Fortunately, high frequency hearing loss can be improved with hearing aids and the sooner you start wearing them the better. Unlike devices from decades past, today’s hearing aids are programmable to provide amplification for the specific sounds that you’re missing.
Laser Therapy for Quitting
Quitting smoking can be difficult and those who are looking to kick the habit can often use all the help they can get. Low level laser therapy (soft laser) can be a safe, affordable, and effective tool. Laser therapy sessions can help you quit smoking by addressing all three parts of addiction: physical, psychological, and detoxification. For the physical aspect, laser therapy helps stimulate key neuro-chemical pathways to produce endorphins and curb nicotine cravings. Laser therapy sessions can help with relaxation and allow you to focus on the psychological reasons for nicotine cravings, and as part of the sessions, detoxification techniques can also be discussed.
