Last month we had a little fun with
our newsletter about sweat. This month, with the
lingering effects of winter wearing on us, we turn our
attention to the very serious topic of pain relief.
While you may not be entirely
aware of it, you know someone who lives with pain
every day - and it's no mystery to them how
chronic pain continually diminishes the quality of their
life. It is ever-present and undermines everything
they do.
Chronic pain not only
affects one on the physical level, but psychologically
as well. It leads to stress and researchers have
found a link to our stress and the aging of our cells
and, potentially, the development of disease.
In addition to creating awareness
about the difficulty faced by those who deal with
chronic pain, we also offer some information on
alternative treatments. Before the advent of
international multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical
companies, care givers relied on the natural healing
properties of herbs as effective medicine for pain
relief and the physical and emotional disturbances
that often accompany it.
We're also sharing a little about
the movement toward heat therapy for cancer
patients, commonly referred to as hyperthermia. Not
only does this therapy attack the cancer cells, it is
also a crucial tool in the management of pain.
We discovered a study that found
sunlight helps
patients heal faster after surgery. We also share with
you some alternative approaches to treatment of
osteoarthritis and how far infrared therapy can help
in the management of pain.
As
always, we are happy to share this for your
information and strongly recommend that you check
with your physician before pursuing any method of
treatment.
Until next
month,
Warmest Regards!
Soleil Saunas
