Triggerpoints are described as hyperirritable spots found in muscle tissue or fascia. They have the following characteristics: a) pain at a particular point, b) a nodule in a taut band of a muscle, c) symptoms are produced by pressure.
Triggerpoints can be caused by pretty much everything, including heavy backpacks, too much sitting, nutrition choices, stress, any metabolic imbalances, psychological reasons, infections, impaired sleep, and direct trauma.
RMTs treat triggerpoints in various ways and the release is often immediate.

Humans have heart, soul, and spirit. So do plants. If we neglect or damage our environment, we damage ourselves. Plants have healing properties, whether used in Chinese medicine or standing alone in a garden setting or forest. Spirit is all-encompassing, as rocks, trees, water, plants, and humans are all the same energy and we share our conscious intelligence, contributing to our spiritual enlightenment. Loss of connection with nature can result in low spiritual energy, leading to disease, depression, and a sense of loss of who we are. It is of vital importance to strike a relationship with nature. Plants do communicate with us, they love to be touched and they want our attention. Observe their texture, smell, and taste, and listen for their sound. Spend time with them, talk to them, caress their leaves and bring them gifts. Individuals and communities can be healed by incorporating plants into their lives.

For many years now, authoritative reports such as Bioinitiative 2007 & Bioinitiative 2012 have revealed the serious adverse health effects of certain prevalent electromagnetic fields (EMF). Some culprit emitters of much of the EMF pollution are not surprisingly the very devices we often purchase at high prices and are convinced we cannot live without. Even with self-discipline and lifestyle changes stemming from increased awareness of the problem, EMF pollution is relatively inescapable in our present society. Realizing this, more people are now also protecting themselves and their living/work spaces with EMF transmuting Shieldite(*TM) having proprietary Biometric Frequency Infusion Technology.

Q. My New Year’s resolution is to take better care of my health. What do I need to do to maintain my eye health?
A. Nothing magical. Protect your eyes from the sun and other sources of UV light. Don’t smoke. Keep yourself healthy with diet and exercise, and make sure your family doctor is in the loop. Get your eyes examined – there are plenty of ways to optimize your vision and make your eyes feel more comfortable. Detecting a hidden eye disease or other health problem is another benefit of the examination.

A healthy lifestyle is our BEST medicine. It is important to develop diligent daily activities that are enjoyable with music, friends, or alone. The secret to health and well-being is to personalize your routine of healthy habits to fulfill your needs and to change them when necessary to suit your individual liking/physical limitations. There is no shortcut. You either do it or you don’t. Think about what you can do that is fun, such as walking outdoors in nature, which is automatically calming and energizing, therefore making walking a good daily habit.

A bunion is a bump that forms on the side of the foot, by the big toe. Once thought to be caused by wearing pointed-toed shoes, bunions are now considered, in most cases, to be the result of fallen arches. Fallen arches cause a change in how the feet work and bunions are one of the possible symptoms. This means they can be prevented, if the foot arch is corrected early enough. It also means the bunion could return after surgery, if the cause of the bunion is not addressed. Custom orthotics are one component of an appropriate treatment plan for bunions.
