Would you sacrifice your body for a Massage?

Massage Therapy isn’t just a feel good therapy. If has so many benefits for you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Here are just a few reasons to consider massage when you want to improve your health.

Massage dilates the blood vessels, improving the circulation and relieving congestion throughout the body.

Massage increases the number of red blood cells especially in cases of anemia

Massage acts as a “mechanical cleanser” stimulating lymph circulation and hastening the elimination of waste and toxic debris.

Massage improves muscle tone and helps prevent or delay muscular atrophy resulting from forced inactivity

Massage can compensate, in part, for lack of exercise and muscular contraction in persons who because of injury, illness or age are forced to remain inactive. In these cases, massage helps return venous blood to the heart and so eases the strain on this vital organ.

Massage may have a sedative, stimulating or even exhausting effect on the nervous system depending on the type and length of massage treatment.

According to some authorities, massage may burst the fat capsule in subcutaneous tissue so that the fat exudes and becomes absorbed. In this way massage, combined with a nutritious but calorie-deficient diet, can be an aid to weight loss.

Massage, by improving general circulation, increases nutrition of the tissues. It is accompanied or followed by an increased interchange of substances between the blood and tissue cells heightening tissue metabolism.

Massage increases the excretion (via the kidneys) of fluids and waste products of protein metabolism, inorganic phosporus and salt in normal individuals.

Massage encourages the retention of nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur necessary for tissue repair in persons convalescing from bone fractures.

Massage stretches connective tissue, improves its circulation and nutrition and so breaks down or prevents the formation of adhesions and reduces the danger of fibrosis.

Massage improves the circulation and nutrition of joints and hastens the elimination of harmful deposits. It helps lessen inflammation and swelling in joints and so alleviates pain.

Massage helps to reduce edema (or dropsy) of the extremities

Massage disperses the edema following injury to ligaments and tendons, lessens pain and facilitates movement.

Last but not least – Massage makes you feel GREAT!!!!!!!!!!

What is Bloodstone?

Gina Dane — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 17:15:19 +0000

This last week, Easter, brought to my mind this beautiful stone, Bloodstone. During the Middle Ages, the red spots in the stone were thought to be spots of Christ’s blood when He was crucified on the Cross. It appears as green quartz flecked with red or yellow jasper. The hardness of the stone is 6.5 – 7 which is based on a 1 to 10 hardness (10 being the hardest). Most commonly known as Bloodstone but sometimes referred as “Heliotrope”. Bloodstone is a great reminder of Christ’s sacrifice for us, whether the stories are correct or not.

Bloodstone is an energy cleanser and immune stimulator for acute infections, stimulates the flow of lymph and metabolic processes, revitalizes and re energizes when the body and mind are exhausted. It helps to purify the blood, and detoxifies the liver, intestines, kidneys, spleen and bladder. Bloodstone benefits blood-rich organs, and aids the circulation, helping in cases of leukemia as it supports the blood and removes toxins. The ancient Egyptians used it to shrink tumors, cleanse the lower chakras and realign the energies.

Psychologically, Bloodstone gives courage, encourages selflessness and idealism, and assists you in acting in the present moment.

Mentally, it calms the mind, dispels confusion, and enhances the decision-making process.

Emotionally, Bloodstone helps to ground the heart energy. It reduces irritability, aggressiveness and impatience.

Bloodstone is a beautiful healing stone that we all can benefit from its healing properties. Be sure and check out the etsy tab to the right. You will find many pieces of jewelry made of Bloodstone.
