I wish that you all get a chance to enjoy it, or some of it at least!  Click here for May special SavingsMassage gift certificates are an excellent way to show Mom or any other loved one that they are appreciated. Giving a gift of Massage is giving time to those you love to come relax, unwind, and feel great!  I will be conducting three Essential Oil Funshops in May. These classes will be at Dr. Reddin's office from 3:00pm - 5:00pm. Classes (funshops) are free!
5/2/09 A presentation on Essential Oils for a natural solution for pain relief without negative side effects. 5/9/09 I have been
asked to repeat the Anxiety and Depression class. This a presentation
of how Essential Oils can help you to naturally overcome the
debilitations on the body, mind and spirit from depression and anxiety.
5/16/09 I will repeat the Stress Funshop. This is a short class to learn about Essential Oils that can eliminate stress without prescription drugs with helpful tips on blending oils and after wards YOU get to make your own personal essential oil blend for stress. This is YOUR blend to have and use!
Each of us knows someone that is stressed, suffers from depression or is experiencing some form of anxiety and all of us has some form of pain. These presentations will help you and to help you to help those that you know overcome these health robbing villains and get on the path to restoring well-being. My essential oil classes are fun, informative, and can be the turning point to regain/maintain your health. Seating is limited. (I think I can only seat 10 comfortably...I will soon be needing a larger presentation/demonstration room!) Please call me or email me that you wish to attend these fun shops.  Many of you know that I am also an Arbonne Independent Consultant. I would like to take a moment to let those of you that use these skin care products know that the Arbonne Intelligence line has been re-vamped and is no longer being offered as a facial skin care line like it was. I have one Arbonne Intelligence Travel Set available (a value of $80.00 that I will discount 50%) and I have one full size Arbonne Intelligence Smart Set with the pretty green dotted vinyl carry case. (a value of $153.50 less $32.00) I used the smart set as a demo set ONCE and it has the thermal fusion mask product missing -- you know how things get misplaced at parties! --will discount this 50% with the cost of the thermal fusion deducted for a great price of $60.75 . I also have quite a bit of the Arbonne Intelligence facial skin care sample packs. (These are great for traveling and not wanting to pack all your bottles of skin care! ) I will discount these 50% for the very economic price of seventy-five cents per sample pack! Note: each sample packet usually contains enough product to last one week.  Still have that cold or flu? Still claiming it is "allergies"? Is it hanging on, draining your energy? Tired of having to stay in bed when you want to be doing something fun? Would you like to get rid of it fast, without all those over the counter treatments that mask the symptoms instead of dealing with the root of the problem? Raindrop Therapy may help you overcome the
tiredness, constant fatigue and lack of energy as well as promote the
immune system. Many of the essential oils used in RT are very effective in their ability to destroy invading organisms like viruses and bacteria in our bodies that cause the colds and flus. RT is a powerful and stimulating tool to support the immune, endocrine, and nervous systems. The essential oils used in the Raindrop treatments are anti-microbial, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory (along with many other healthy benefits). Essential oils are natural botanicals without the side effects of pharmaceutical drugs. I offer RT as an add on to any massage for an additional $15.00. A Full description of my Raindrop Therapy Massage is available on my website. (see section under aromatherapy) Do you really want another vaccine injected into your body to "help" you? Educate before you vaccinateRestore the Republic Issue #13 on vaccinesSwine Flu Pndemic - fact or fiction
Remember the SARS virus from 2003? As SARS is a coronavirus
and closely related to the virus that causes flu and colds, it is recommended to blend the following essential oils:
Cymbopogon
martini (palma rosa), Ravensara
aromatica, Lavandula augustifolia, Eucalyptus
globulus.
Place a couple of drops on a handkerchief and inhale deeply
every half an hour or so. This is particularly important when you are flying or
in any crowded environment! "
Essential oils were effective in the past, will be effective now, and again far into the future.
I can think of no better advice today. Wash your
hands, cough or sneeze into your sleeve, not your hand, and avoid crowds if
possible.

Email me with your request for information on the essential oils used in Raindrop Therapy and how they are beneficial in fighting off viruses, colds, flu, and pandemics. These oils are natural botanical and PROVEN time and again to ward off viral and bacterial illnesses.  HELP! I need help. I have several boxes of hand knitted items (high end yarn and fibers were used to create these garments) from the days when I owned a yarn shop. I intended to sell these on the internet when I got settled....but after 4 years, it does not seem like I am settling...I keep getting busier and busier. I need these items cleared out of my spare room and would like to offer anyone interested, a 50-50 split. You sell them on the internet, at a swap meet, to other specialty clothing stores, etc. Call me to make arrangements to come see these very beautiful sweaters, hats, shawls, and other items. I simply do not have the time to do this myself. (oh, and the photo for this block is just to give you an idea of how over-stuffed I think my spare room is...I really don't have a warehouse filled with this much stuff!) Here's a link to ponder. I hope you take the time to read as many of the opinions as you can. Think about what this means to a nation of people as individuals and not the collective masses. Wishing you and all your loved ones continued good health. ~Beau

 I really do like being able to share this with you... Silver Eagle Dollars are
REAL money unlike Federal Reserve Notes (paper currency) and are a store
of value that is not subject to inflation.
In fact, with the ever-increasing inflation and debasement of the paper
currency, precious metals such as gold and silver (real money) are the best way
to accumulate and protect your wealth.
Plus, getting these beautiful silver coins in the mail is just plain
fun! I will continue to send out this monthly promotional featuring the current special I might be offering, letting you know about any new services or products being offered, and making announcements of anything new at White Dragon Therapies. I only send out ONE email (usually on the first of each month) every month. If you do not wish to receive these newsletters, please use the "safe unsubscribe" feature at the bottom of this page.

(keep in mind that a massage therapist
is NOT a physician. I am not qualified to diagnose or prescribe. I am
however able to asses and provide self care suggestions and refer clients to specialists. So, with this
in mind here we go...)
Pathology Insight: Back Pain
Hunter/Gatherers -vs- Movers/Shakers
There are many different categories of back pain. For this month's pathology insight, I have narrowed the list to lower back pain. There are 3 common types of lower back pain: Nonspecific, Pinched Nerve and Spinal Stenosis. Let's get specific and deal with the Nonspecific type.
Approx 80% of the adults in the U.S. have been bothered by back pain at some point. More than half also said the pain severely limited their daily routine for a week or longer. And 88% of this group indicated that the pain is recurring.
Lower back pain disrupts many aspects of life. Some of these are interfering with sleep, thwarting efforts to maintain healthy weight, and hampers sex life.
 Our spines are like the colorful toddler toy that teaches how to stack discs according to size while developing eye-hand coordination skills.
A sturdy central support to stack from large to small from bottom to top a solid base.
 However, unlike the toy, our spines are flexible and is home to a spinal cord - the www of our nervous system - inside the vertebra.
We have a complex system of padding all around that consists of muscle, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. In addition to this, we have all the added weight of our upper torso resting on our "solid base (sacrum) that in turn is attached to a highly irregular shaped bone that has three flexible pieces and does not "flex" all the time in harmonious synchronization (the pelvis). If you stop and think about it, it is a miracle if we don't have back pain!
The very act of walking up-right involves coordination of the spine, head, upper torso, arms, hips, legs and feet. Why do you think it takes a human baby up to 2 years to learn to master this incredible feat? And even then, some adults such as myself still have not out-grown that awkward, "clumsiness" stage. (LOL. now I understand what the problem is....I never really mastered the skill of walking!!!)
Hunter/gatherers (physical laborers) are constantly bending, stooping. lifting, pulling and pushing. The result: Ouch, my back hurts! (i.e. muscle, tendon and ligament strain, sprain, spasm, stress, tension and over use that is pulling on bones & joints in every direction possible.)
So you think you have the easier job? Being a mover/shaker and working at a desk all day has its detriments too. You are sitting on the small rounded portion of bones at the base of your stacking toy causing constant pressure to muscles, ligaments, tendons, blood vessels and nerves. The result: Ouch, my back hurts! (i.e. muscle tendon and ligament strain, sprain, spasm, stress, tension and over use that is pulling on bones and joints in every direction possible)
Are you seeing the pattern?
What to do... I wish I had the simple answer for you. Humans need a balance between the physical and the sedentary. Even the caveman (early bi-peds) had back pain. Since humans have not yet figured out the ultimate prevention of back pain, lets look into the care and maintenance of the structure to minimize any debilitation from the unrelenting abuse that we continue to heap upon our backs.
The latest issue of Consumer Reports for Health states that most people are not satisfied with their primary care doctor when back pain persists. (doctors can give referrals for hands-on treatments)
Hands-on treatments include chiropractic, massage, physical therapy, acupuncture. The top rated hands on treatments deemed most helpful for back pain were Chiropractic at 58%, Massage Therapy at 48% and Physical Therapy at 46% (another testament to the healing powers of touch!!!)
Seeing your chiropractor keeps the skull, spine, pelvis and sacrum in alignment. (not to mention keeping such things as the ribs, clavicle, arms and legs in the proper place for optimum utilization. You know... the things that are also attached to the spine even though some may be indirectly connected.)
Seeing your massage therapist keeps the fascia, muscles, tendons, ligaments and other soft tissue (skin, nerves, blood vessels, etc.) pliable and free of adhesions, trigger points, tension and stress.
It's not enough to get "adjusted" and put back into alignment. Muscles need to be "re-educated" as to how and where they need to do their work. Muscles have memory, they just need to be reminded how to work most efficiently. Massage therapy can provide this memory by taking away the pain from adhesions, triggers points, spasms, tension and stress allowing the muscles to return to their natural relaxed positions ready to do your bidding with no complaints.
Jasmar and I are most happy to assist you with these issues and help you get back on the road to good health and feeling great. Call for your appointment now.
