Spa Therapy Benefits Osteoarthritis Patients

Massage therapy is the most popular type of session requested by spa-goers, and many massage therapists at spas are trained to provide additional types of sessions to guests.

New research shows two weeks of spa therapy, including mud packs and mineral-water baths, resulted in improvements in knee osteoarthritis.

Those results included diminished pain and stiffness and improved quality of life.

The participants were randomly assigned to either a spa therapy group or a control group.

People in the spa-therapy group had mud packs applied on both knees for 20 minutes, at an initial temperature of 113 degrees Fahrenheit. They also soaked in bicarbonate-sulfate mineral bath water at a temperature of about 100 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes. These spa applications occurred daily for a total of 12 days during a two-week period.

Results of the study revealed a statistically significant reduction in spontaneous pain among subjects in the spa-therapy group when compared to baseline numbers.

A full research report on this study will be published in the September 2010 issue of MASSAGE Magazine. The research originally ran in the December 2009 issue of the American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation.

Do eye lashes grow?

Losing an eye lash here and there happens to all of us. It is perfectly normal to lose one or two eyelashes. A new eye lash will grow back in the hair follicle and replace the old one. As a person ages their eyelashes tend to thin out, this is normal process. But, some people lose eye lashes in clumps and they do not grow back. If this happens suddenly, you may be feeling confused and afraid.

Here is what you should consider if you lose a lot of eyelashes at once.
Alopecia areata could be the cause of losing your eyelashes. It is an autoimmune disease usually striking the scalp and causing your hair to fall out in clumps. This hair does not grow back. It can also cause eye lashes and eye brows to fall out and not grow back. There is no cure, but a dermatologist can give you shots of cortisone to prevent further damage to hair follicles.

Eye lashes that are falling out in clumps is a good indicator that you may have hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is a condition of an underactive thyroid which causes many complications and symptoms mostly in women. Get your thyroid checked by your doctor (he will do a simple blood test)and he can put you on medication to get your
thyroid back in gear and help alleviate sparse eye lashes.

Something that all of us can do to protect our eye lashes is to treat them with care. A lifetime of using an eyelash curler or pulling and playing with them can cause them to fall out. Continual trauma to hair follicles can do permanent damage. Only curl your lashes on special occasions or use one of the new curling wand mascaras to protect your eye lashes.
