HEALTH BENEFITS OF MASSAGE
You might think of a massage only as a luxury in exotic spas and upscale health clubs. But did you know that massage therapy, when combined with traditional medical treatments, is used to reduce stress and pain and promote healing in people with certain health conditions?
Massage relieves stress, muscle tension & stiffness, and decreases pain from surgery. It strengthens the immune system, a big plus for people with auto-immune disorders such as Fibromyalgia, arthritis and HIV, as well as for cancer patients whose immune systems have been compromised by chemotherapy.
Massage also promotes faster healing of damaged muscles & ligaments, reduces the formation of excessive scar tissue, alleviates discomfort during pregnancy, relieves muscle spasms, decreases pain for migrane sufferers, and reduces anxiety and withdrawal symptoms in adults trying to quit smoking.
In addition, massage improves posture, joint flexibility & range of motion, making it a perfect complimentary therapy for people who have had hip or knee replacments ro rotater cuff surgery.
Because massage involves direct contact with another person through touch, it can make you feel cared for. That special attention can improve self-image in people with physical disabilities and terminal illnesses. And using touch to convey caring can help children with severe physical disabilities.

Healthy Water
Our water supply is bombarded with a vast array of chemicals and contaminants every day. Raw sewage, toxic runoff from farms and factories, household chemicals and pharmaceuticals are just a few of the contaminants that lace the water we drink every day. Municipal treatment facilities can get some of the contaminants out, but not all, and they add to the problem by adding chlorine. The addition of chlorine to our water hailed as the savior against cholera, typhoid and various other water-borne diseases when it was introduced. But recent studies have found that when chlorine is added to water it combines with other natural compounds to form highly carcinogenic Trihalomethanes (THMs).
Home filtration systems do remove many of the toxins, but they still fall short. There is a way, however, to ensure that the water we are drinking and cooking with is clean and pure: distillation. By simply heating water to 212° F we destroy microbes such as bacteria. The rising steam leaves behind dead microbes, dissolved solids, salts, heavy metals and other substances. We need only vent out the low-boiling-point gases and trap and condense the pure steam. There are a number of good distillers on the market from countertop models to large floor models. We recommend, use and sell Waterwise distillers because of their quality and superior workmanship. Because studies have shown that distilled water is lacking vital minerals and is naturally slightly acidic, we also recommend, use and sell Hallelujah Acres WaterMax. WaterMax changes the pH of drinking water to a healthy alkaline level, improves the oxidation-reduction potential, and significantly improves the mineral content.
