Acupuncture

my experinence is it takes a few days getting less each day.

Well, it's basically restoring the flow of energy in your body. Kind of like arteries, energy gets 'clogged' too. Believe it or not, you have healing pains. Yes, healing hurts sometimes. Your body is finally getting flow in those areas so you can imagine all the work it is doing to restore balance. Plus, toxins are being released. May I suggest an Epsom salt bath or even foot soak after your sessions? I can't imagine life without them.

such a helpful explanation nitro....hope you soon feel the flow and benefit arual.

nitro....i'm looking for a good source of epsom salts in the uk...can you suggest a supplier possibly please?

my acupuntrist calls it stagnation .

the pain caused by toxins built up in your muscles

if you are unable to do much in the way of excersise

then your muscles cant move the lymph system and toxins build up

the lymph has no independant  means of working except thru excersisng the muscles and lymph drainage.

if you block the flow of a river the water pools and will stagnate

the same is said of toxins in the lymph if the lymph does not drain it stagnates.

 

Thanks I work for a chemist so might get some Epsom salts and defiantly going to have a bath tonight see if that eases it

i wouldnt buy epsom salts myself i think there to harsh although they do relax the muscles , i prefer the mores expensive .magneisum flakes much nicer on the skin and absorbed well into the blood stream . which increases your magneisuim levals

Here in the US we get it at drug department stores like Walgreen's. Sometimes grocery stores even have it.

If you don't have that type of availability, I'd order some magnesium flakes online. 

I've found magnesium flakes in a shop near where I work 

very helpful tina ...thanks for that! Great imagery....the pools and the river. I've got to get mine flowing!

Hey do we all need to be doing some stretching?

Am going to stand up and get into some reaching for the sky...anyone else?

A bit of movement mayhem !!

ok thanks for that nitro.

will have a look x

thanks tina...i'll look into this x

thats really good ,i have to order mine on line and they can afford to charge a preminum because of it.

My naturopath, every darn week, makes sure I'm doing freestyle stretching. EVERY week. You just contort your body all weird like you are a weirdo & hold any stretches that feel good. Man, it's a great way to wake up cause fibro mornings suck!

like a wierdo...tee hee that would be me !!

i used to be in a womens theatre troup called small world we were schooled by cunning stunts...which you'll note evolved from a shift of first letters !!
