Health Benefits of Hot Stone Massage

October 18th 2011 17:00

Hot Stone Massage is a procedure where heated stones are placed on meridians of the body (sites of the body where several nerve endings meet; which can stimulate the individual system each nerve is connected to).

Stiff muscles and joints that are tight and tense benefit the most from hot stone massage.

Hot stone massage works as a circulation stimulant causing the muscles to release upon contact, which prepares the muscles for a deeper pressure massage.

And, deep tissue massages generally have more of a medical benefit, than lighter pressure techniques.

Hot Stone Massage:

• Promotes deep muscle relaxation
• Reduces overall body stress
• Increases circulation
• Warms the body
• Releases toxins thru sweat
• Relives pain from stiff and achy muscles
• Calms the mind

As the heated stones penetrate the skin, they allow blood vessels to open and more circulation to enter the immediate area.

Poor circulation causes muscles to become tensed and fatigue, and causes a build-up of stagnant fluid and lactic acid; which can become toxic to our bodies.

However, proper blood circulation allows the body to transport oxygen and nutrients (to the entire body), improves flexibility, and releases muscle spasms and overall body tension.

Health Conditions Treated with Hot Stone Massage:

• Back Pain
• Fibromyalgia
• Insomnia
• MS
• Muscle aches and pains

• Depression
• Arthritis
• Stress and Anxiety
• Circulation problems

So make your next massage a hot stone massage and discover the benefits yourself.

Rare Cancer Linked To Saline & Silicone Breast Implants

October 11th 2011 17:22

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, both saline and silicone gel-filled breast implants may be linked to nearly 60 reports of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL).

ALCL is a rare yet aggressive type of cancer that makes up only 3 percent of lymphoma cases in adults, according to the Lymphoma Research Foundation.

In 2010, there were 60 reports of ALCL in 5-10 million people worldwide. However, only 34 of these cases were discovered in the U.S.

It is important for people to understand that ALCL is not the same as breast cancer, but is a form of lymphoma.

Breast implant recipients have reported symptoms of ALCL years, sometimes decades, after implant surgery.

Symptoms of ALCL include:
• Swelling
• Puffiness
• Pain and soreness
• Lumps
• Asymmetry of the breast

This rare cancer almost always shows up in fluid and scar tissue capsule surrounding the implant sack.

In some cases simply removing the implant and scar tissue gets rid of the disease, but some women might need chemotherapy and radiation, said Dr. William Maisel, the chief scientist and deputy director for science in the drug agency’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health.

Since reported cases of ALCL are so minimal, women with no symptoms are simply advised to get their regular annual check-ups; and make sure to inform their general physicians about their implants.
