Bowen miracle cure

Advantages: Painless, non-invasive, fast
Disadvantages: None

...ago, and having read about Bowen Therapy and its being painless, decided to take the plunge. After only one session, there was significant improvement as regards pain, and after two to three sessions, my range of movement had improved several degrees. After my fifth (and final) session this week, my therapist put my range of movement at "11 o'clock" (12 o'clock being full range), and I suffer no pain whatsoever during the day, although when I lie ...

Review of Bowen Technique

Relax with an orange! (And some juniper, and frankincense . . .)

Advantages: very relaxing, not so oily that it feels greasy, interesting fragrance
Disadvantages: none for me, but might not suit those with certain medical conditions

...never been quite sure when Boots brought the Botanics range in - I remember when I was younger that their own brand aromatherapy products came in white coloured packaging, but by the time I got round to buying my first aromatherapy starter kit at nearly 16, the one I picked up was a Botanics one. Amongst all the pure essential oils (ie. ones you have to mix with an unscented base oil before you use it as a massage oil) in the range, there are also ...
...them individually so I imagine Boots have tailored their blend with this in mind. All relaxation, I think, is probably relative - this does have a "lie back in the bath and watch the vapour rise" feel to it, but if I was going to put it in the bath I think I would make sure that a) the water was very warm and b) that I didn't get distracted when the cold tap was running. (Guess what I did tonight - a tepid bath with this in the water just doesn't ...

Review of Apple Cider Vinegar

Legalize Marijuana

Advantages: non addictive,relaxing
Disadvantages: toxins

Unlike most drugs, marijuana is not addictive. I am a smoker, and think this is one that should not even be classified in the same category as drugs such as heroin or cocaine. Smoking marijuana gives you a laid back, relaxed feeling. Although there are toxins in it, these are the same as you will find in tobacco, which is legal. Marijuana is less harmful than the also legal alchohol. You can smoke in several different ways, including rolled into ...

Review of Marijuana

Holland & Barrett Aloe Vera Gel

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Burns and tightens the skin

...aloe vera gel on the Holland & Barrett website for £2.99 which is considerably cheaper and the aloe vera content was 99.9%, which was slightly higher than the content of the Sk:n version which is 98%. This made me think the Holland &Barrett version would work better. Within minutes of applying the Holland & Barrett aloe vera gel my skin felt extremely tight and there was a horrible burning sensation. I immediately had to remove the gel and then reapplied ...
