Natural Therapy: Remedial Massage

Posted by Antoniette Sellaro on January 13, 2011 2 comments

I have been dying to go to this Chinese Remedial and Natural Therapy place in the nearby shopping center.  Finally, I made it last Tuesday.  I regularly bring hubby there to have an hour remedial whole body massage.  I thought, however, that I need a massage too.  I want to get rid of all those muscle pains, stress and feeling of tiredness.  Hubby said, every after his session with the Chinese practitioner there, he feels so good and full of energy.  I want that for myself too.  I think I deserve it.

Instead of having an hour massage, I went for just half an hour body massage.  Oh boy!  It was worth it.  I paid $40 and I got $25 back from my private health insurance!  How about that?  So I think I will have it regularly.  Not only to pamper myself a bit, but to give my body and mind a sort of relief from all the stress.

The Chinese practitioner (Dr. Ma) there also recommended natural/ herbal pills for me to improve my hormonal imbalance during my period/ menstrual cycle.  The bottle contains 200 pills and costs $10!  I have to take 12 pills a day though.  So far, I feel energized and I think these pills are helping me a lot.

Health and Nutrition

Healthy moms create healthy families.  It is surprising that most of my friends who are also moms are starting to be health conscious.  Reading health books and magazines as well as gym sessions seem to become a fad.  It is also impressive to know that some moms are getting very conscious about nutrition labels on various products they purchase in the supermarket.

I thought to myself, isn’t that hard and time consuming reading all those labels before I put the item in my shopping bag?  Well, I am learning.  And I should say that it is very important to read labels of products we buy and be very choosy on what we buy for and feed our families.
