fortune cookie soapI have been a huge fan of the fortune cookie soap products.  Not only do I think that the creators are beautiful people, but the products themselves are absolutely incredible.  The quality that goes into fortune cookie soap is absolutely incredible and if you have not heard (probably because it hasn’t exactly been launched yet, but I have the down low about it), fortune cookie soap is revamping some of their products!

This particular product is their Rejuvenate Me bath tea and I have to say that these bath teas are something very different and unique.  Boil them on the stove for five minutes then drop everything into your bath water and I swear you got yourself something awesome!  This particular bath tea has lemongrass, rosemary and some mint, which was all designed to wake you right up.

Fortune cookie soap has some fantastic products and you should absolutely check them out – for they are some quality stuff there!

magnetic therapySo what is magnetic — or electromagnetic — therapy? Well, in short, it is a therapy based on energy which is specifically designed to aid in the relief of pain. Of course, that does not really explain how it works.

Put simply, certain medical practitioners believe that there are magnetic static fields which can affect the body — some positively and others negatively.

It is believed that this kind of therapy can help boost energy, relieve pain, and even help people sleep better. According to many reports, not only is this therapy completely safe, but it is said to have no side effects either.

So how does it work? It is believed that if the body is to maintain and keep up the maximum of healing, then it has to have electromagnetic balance. Due to various things, from the sun to power lines, our personal electromagnetic force can be seriously out of balance. Magnetic therapy can help to maintain that balance, in addition to providing pain relief, reducing inflammation, restoring energy, improving the circulation of blood, preventing and even healing infection, improving metabolism, and aiding in the whole healing process.

tendinitisA lot of people suffer from tendinitis, which is not only extremely uncomfortable but which is also painful.

As the name of the condition itself suggests, it affects the tendons. Specifically, in tendinitis, the tendons become inflamed. That may sound simple, but the results are extraordinarily painful; they can even be quite debilitating.

Fortunately, there are a number of treatments — natural ones at that — which can be used to ease the pain caused by tendinitis. For one thing, the condition itself can be related to either overusing your tendons, or using them improperly. If, for instance, the injury is sustained because you have been jogging too much, taking a break can be helpful.

Traditional Chinese Medicine has also been shown to help the condition. Acupuncture in particular is said to be extremely helpful.

Chamomile is one of those herbs that have no or very few side effects, however, you want to make sure that you talk to your doctor before trying anything.
