The Wonderful Benefits Of Massage

The Benefits Of Massage
What exactly are the benefits of receiving massage or bodywork treatments? Useful for all of the conditions listed below and more, massage can:

• Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion.
• Assist with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers and shorten maternity hospital stays.
• Ease medication dependence.
• Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body’s natural defense system.
• Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
• Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.
• Improve the condition of the body’s largest organ—the skin.
• Increase joint flexibility.
• Lessen depression and anxiety.
• Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks.
• Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation.
• Reduce postsurgery adhesions and swelling.
• Reduce spasms and cramping.
• Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.
• Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body’s natural painkiller.
• Relieve migraine pain.

A Powerful Ally
There’s no denying the power of bodywork. Regardless of the adjectives we assign to it (pampering, rejuvenating, therapeutic) or the reasons we seek it out (a luxurious treat, stress relief, pain management), massage therapy can be a powerful ally in your healthcare regimen.

Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. While eliminating anxiety and pressure altogether in this fast-paced world may be idealistic, massage can, without a doubt, help manage stress. This translates into:

• Decreased anxiety.
• Enhanced sleep quality.
• Greater energy.
• Improved concentration.
• Increased circulation.
• Reduced fatigue.

Furthermore, clients often report a sense of perspective and clarity after receiving a massage. The emotional balance bodywork provides can often be just as vital and valuable as the more tangible physical benefits.

Profound Effects
In response to massage, specific physiological and chemical changes cascade throughout the body, with profound effects. Research shows that with massage:

• Arthritis sufferers note fewer aches and less stiffness and pain.
• Asthmatic children show better pulmonary function and increased peak air flow.
• Burn injury patients report reduced pain, itching, and anxiety.
• High blood pressure patients demonstrate lower diastolic blood pressure, anxiety, and stress hormones.
• Premenstrual syndrome sufferers have decreased water retention and cramping.
• Preterm infants have improved weight gain.

Research continues to show the enormous benefits of touch—which range from treating chronic diseases, neurological disorders, and injuries, to alleviating the tensions of modern lifestyles. Consequently, the medical community is actively embracing bodywork, and massage is becoming an integral part of hospice care and neonatal intensive care units. Many hospitals are also incorporating on-site massage practitioners and even spas to treat postsurgery or pain patients as part of the recovery process.

Increase the Benefits with Frequent Visits
Getting a massage can do you a world of good. And getting massage frequently can do even more. This is the beauty of bodywork. Taking part in this form of regularly scheduled self-care can play a huge part in how healthy you’ll be and how youthful you’ll remain with each passing year. Budgeting time and money for bodywork at consistent intervals is truly an investment in your health. And remember: just because massage feels like a pampering treat doesn’t mean it is any less therapeutic. Consider massage appointments a necessary piece of your health and wellness plan, and work with your practitioner to establish a treatment schedule that best meets your needs.

A Book Every Parent Should Read- "The Sanctity of Human Blood"

I know first hand the harmful effects of vaccines. It was a task every nurse must endure. I also worked in a pediatrician's offices. I saw normal babies and teenagers before and after vaccine administration.

The Truth About Cancer!

http://www.drkelley.com/what_is_cancer.htm

The article above is a true story. Working in the health care field for nearly 14 years, I saw a lot of unethical things. It made me realize that the health care is a business as well as the pharmaceutical company. They work together in order to stay in business. The world revolves around money. When I talk to like-minded individuals like myself, they believe there is a cure for disease. With all the money that has been put into finding a cure for Cancer, Aids, or many other diseases. With all the technology and all the science that is around today there should be a cure, right?... but why isn't there one? Is it because it brings in billions in revenue? And how can something foreign cure the human body anyway. Only something natural or something that is perfectly synergistic with the human body can effectively heal it.

Essential oils are aromatic volatile liquids distilled from shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, and seeds. The chemistry of Essential oils is very complex: each one may consist of hundreds of different and unique chemical compounds. Moreover, essential oils are highly concentrated and far more potent than dried herbs. The distillation process is what makes essential oils so concentrated. It often requires plant or more to produce a single drop of distilled essential oil.
I will admit. I had fallen victim too and brainwashed like most people. When I heard the word "Cancer". It was the scariest thing in the world. I would go numb. After venturing into the holistic world years ago and researching. It is not as bad as they want us to think. Everything is curable/or preventable.
However, I do believe that Western Medicine is necessary for emergency situations.

Important Advice: Drink a lot of Water, Raw Diet (lots of fruit and veggies) No Sugar, No Alcohol and No Smoking.

Frankincense: Could it be a cure for cancer?

Frankincense was one of the three gifts given to Jesus when he was born, along with Myrrh and Gold. When hearing the news of Frankincense, I was not surprised. I find it pretty amazing how things unfold in life.  Those gifts given to Jesus had to be special and valuable.

The Benefits of NingXia Red & Wolfberries

 

NingXia Red combines the finest Ningxia wolfberries, blueberries, pomegranates, and therapeutic-grade essential oils to give you powerful support for heart, eyes, cells, and liver.*

  

 Ultra-High Antioxidants: A wide-spectrum antioxidant, NingXia Red does more than protect against a single free radical. It absorbs four of the most prevalent free radicals found in the body. And it's more effective than any other health drink at absorbing the superoxide free radical—the most abundant free radical in the human body.

Rejuvenating Ingredients
Ningxia wolfberries, the primary ingredient in NingXia Red, along with the powerful combination of select juices and essential oils, makes NingXia Red unique.

• Wolfberries, the miracle superfood, support multiple body systems and are an ultra-rich nutrient source.*
• Blueberries contain ultra-high levels of antioxidants.
•  Pomegranates support cardiovascular health and are also rich in antioxidants.*
• Apricots are revered for supporting longevity.
• Raspberries contain ellagic acid, known to protect DNA.*
• Therapeutic-grade lemon and orange essential oils contain the antioxidant d-limonene

 Synergistic Blend of Juices: Other health drinks contain junk juices, including white grape, apple, and pear. These sugary juices provide few health benefits. The wolfberry, blueberry, and pomegranate juices in NingXia Red are high in anthocyanidins, flavanoids, and carotenoids, which have been shown to strengthen collagen, and absorb free radicals.* These juices combined have more antioxidant activity than the sum of the individual juices. And that synergy multiplies the benefits for your body. Tests prove that NingXia Red is synergized!

 Immune System Support: Wolfberries and NingXia Red are shown to support immune function. Studies show that wolfberries are effective at inhibiting inflammation and may induce an immune response.* A landmark study published in the Journal of the American Nutraceutical Association concluded, “Wolfberry juice and its mixtures were shown to have immunomodulatory effects… by increasing splenic (spleen) microphages and splenic weight.”* And:

• Chinese scientists found that the wolfberry polysaccharide has “definite protective effects” on pancreas cells that regulate our body's insulin system, the islets of Langerhans.*
• Other researchers have determined that special substances found in wolfberries have “prominent hepatoprotective activity,” meaning that they help protect the liver.*

 Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oils : NingXia Red is the only drink available that contains lemon and orange essential oils, which include the powerful antioxidant d-limonene. These oils alone have remarkable health-promoting benefits.

 Great Taste: NingXia Red has a sweet yet tangy taste and is sweetened with the fruity richness of blue agave syrup (known as the “nectar of the gods”). Unlike most retail juices available today that are clear, watered down sugary drinks made to appeal to a generation raised on soft drink, NingXia Red is rich. What's more it won't cause a spike in blood sugar. The body easily assimilates NingXia Red's natural sugars, because this drink is healthy in every way.

 A Perfect Infusion: The power found in NingXia Red is a result of blending nutrient-dense wolfberry puree with the juices of fruits with complex phytonutrients. Scientists have confirmed the benefits of whole food synergy. Researchers at Cornell University concluded that a synergistic and additive effect is why whole fruits and vegetables have potent antioxidant activity.

My Journey and Healing...

*This was my very first order

I will start my blog with my experience with a condition that I was diagnosed with; Fibromyalgia. It was about a year after I started working as a Registered Nurse the symptoms began. I was working long, long stressful days with barely a break. The first symptom I experienced was fatigue, lasting months. This then lead to wide spread pain, insomnia, headaches, and digestive issues. To make a long story short. It was a long journey to find answers. My blood work and other diagnostic exams were always within normal limits. It took over a year and a half to get an actual diagnosis. I then began researching it. At this time, Cymbalta and Lyrica were the only treatment options. I would try anything at this point to help with the pain. Being conservative, I tried Cymbalta first and then Lyrica. The side effects from both were more than I could handle. Just awful. I started analysing my life. I thought it has to be the stress and my emotions. After I made changes I felt improvement. Two years later I reconnected with a friend that introduced me to Young Living. To me, this was the miracle I was praying for. I started on a regimen and Trigger Point Massage, now I am symptom free. Sometimes life is a circle. At least mine has been. During this journey my faith in God was reinforced. Anything that is made from God is a true blessing.
