Pain and Stress are brothers

I started to say that pain and stress are sisters but hey I'm a woman. Why would I equate two such annoying and disturbing conditions with women? Nope. The men can have those titles (sorry fellas).

Anyway, I've been really busy for the last week or so. I've been promoting my beauty brand, Blended Naturals and also attended a beauty tour and blog summit. That's why I haven't had as much time to devote to writing here and dumping my brain with topics on stress and pain.

While I will say that stress has been a close companion this last week or so. It's mainly because I have so much to do with not enough time. I have to evaluate a number of beauty products and brands, write reviews and also work on my search engine optimization for my websites. I am a one woman show so some things have to wait.

What I wanted to give you today is more of a nugget to chew on and think about:

"If you stop to think, pain that is caused from an injury, illness or surgery can result in tremendous levels of stress. Even if all is well in your world, if you are in pain your mind and emotions can be overwhelmed. Stress and pain are brothers!"

Think about that. Mull it over and let me know your thoughts. I'll start writing more in the next week or so. I'd also like to know what topics you would like for me to write about. Share!

Using Magnets to Ease Pain

In my search of methods for natural pain relief and pain management, I discovered an interesting and very effective natural pain relief method. Of course, I didn't actually discover it as a new way to ease pain. I just discovered it in my life. It's magnet therapy.

As someone who manages an online stress relief website, I wanted to make sure I wasn't just selling products. I wanted to have a personal experience with most, if not all of my stress relief products. I feel that one very big arena for stress is pain. If you are in pain, how can you possibly be at peace?

In November 2008, I had double foot surgery that I thought would be a piece of cake. My doctor said I'd be up and walking in around 2 weeks. Well, while that wasn't entirely a lie, it also wasn't the whole truth. The numbness, tingling and burning sensation I experienced was not expected and it was more than a bit annoying. It kept me from sleeping. I was laid up in the bed most of the time and so I began to make use of that time by browsing the web for new products for natural pain relief that I could offer on my site. That's when I discovered Magnet Therapy.

Many people choose Magnet therapy also known as Magnetic therapy as an alternative form of natural pain relief for conditions such as arthritis and injuries. Magnet Therapy is an effective form of pain management that helps to promote faster healing and has has been well documented over many years by many cultures.

So, when I came across this company that manufactured Magnetic Therapy products, I decided to try the magnets to help ease my own pain. I purchased a small neodymium magnet kit for my personal use. When I received the magnets, I was a little unsure if they would provide pain relief. At the very least I knew that I could send it back and it was safe.

Well, I used those magnets and very much to my surprise within 5 minutes I was experiencing quick relief from the burning sensation and numbness in my right big toe and on the side of my right foot. I was able to sleep soundly with the large magnet affixed to my big toe. You see, you don't have to have but one magnet affixed with some surgical tape to the affected area. It is most effective and I highly recommend this magnetic therapy for anyone who has had surgery.

Of course, there are precautions you need to be aware of. While magnetic therapy is very safe, you can not use this form of natural pain relief if you have any implanted electronic medical devices in your body or you use transdermal drug patches.

You should also know that the effectiveness of the magnet is determined by the gauss rating, thickness, diameter and spacing of the magnet. Not all magnets are created equally so you should do your homework. Surely, I stand behind our magnets and there is of course a 30 day return policy so if you are not satisfied (which I highly doubt), you can return the magnets less any shipping costs.

As authorized resellers for magnetic therapy products, we offer discounted pricing on our therapeutic medical grade magnets and you get them shipped directly from the manufacturer. It's a win win situation. Lower prices, same quality.

Alternative Pain Relief

Pain in any form can be stressful and at times cause you to curl up in a ball so to speak so that you can't even function. Arthritis, post-surgery and injuries all cause pain at some point or another. Most of the time, we rely on pharmaceutical drugs to ease that pain. Many times pain can be relieved without the use of pharmaceutical drugs.

While Magnetic Therapy is not a new form of alternative pain relief, it's certainly become increasingly more popular. People are tired of experiencing the side of effects from pharmaceutical drugs and are turning to more natural forms of pain relief.

Magnetic Therapy, also termed Magnet Therapy is a safe and natural method of alternative pain relief that is facilitated by applying magnetic fields to the body for therapeutic purposes.

I had foot surgery a few months ago and began using magnetic therapy. I was very pleased with the results. The inflammation and burning sensation I was having was eased within minutes of applying magnets. I definitely recommend this form of alternative pain relief.

Magnetic Therapy to Relieve Pain

So, I was somewhat of a skeptic when I thought about using Magnets to relieve pain. I was wondering how on earth is this supposed to work. However, since there were no side effects I figured I'd try it.

I had foot surgery in November, 2008. The pain was not so bad at first. After all I was on Vicaden. Well, Vicaden is a controlled substance so I couldn't keep taking that for long. Soon after I stopped, I began to have this tingling numbing sensation in my right toe. It would burn like heck. I was unable to sleep at night. That's when I came across a website that sold Magnetic Therapy Products.

I spoke with someone at the company who recommended I purchase a Large magnet kit. I do so and when the magnets arrived I decided to put one on at bed time. I gotta tell you, at first I thought the pain was getting worse. For the first 5 minutes I was like dag this is burning. But then, after that first few minutes I began to notice that the numbness and burning sensation began to significantly decrease. I had no idea what was going on but I actually slept through the night and woke up with no pain.

Now, I'm sold. Magnetic Therapy is where it's at. I am not the biggest fan of pharmaceutical drugs so you can imagine how happy I was to find that Magnetic Therapy Products actually work!

So, if you are experiencing any pain or inflammation as a result of surgery, arthritis, injuries or whatever, I highly recommend using Magnetic Therapy Products!
