Anyone for Therapy? - Lush Therapy Massage Bar

Advantages: Looks wonderful, smells devine and soothes aching muscles
Disadvantages: It doesn't last very long, expensive for what you get

...Lush Therapy Massage Bar If I told you that you could relieve stress for only £3.50 you would probably call me liar, but alas I'm not jesting or lying to you. There is a way, with assistance to soothe and remove all of the tension built up after a hard week in the office and it is of course another product from the Lush range. A 65g massage bar costs £3.50 which may seem expensive when you think about the cost of Johnson's Baby Lotion, but bear with me, the Therapy massage bar reaches places only normally touched by a certain lager. Basically, the bar is solid when you first make your purchase and the first time you see such a massage bar you will indeed think you have been conned. That is until you take it from the plastic wrapping and start to use it. Ingenious in its creation, when rubbed over a warm back or between warm palms...

Review of Lush Therapy Massage Bar

I admit it....I need Therapy!

Advantages: Softens and supples
Disadvantages: None

...I am a huge fan of massage bars and I have tried what seems to be hundreds! I'm always interested in the new one which is brought out and even ones you can get on EBay which are no longer available anywhere! And of course I do have my usual Lush massage bars which I buy time and time again but it's always nice to try something different! This chunk of solid body butter has recently become my favorite bar softening item (for now. One doesn't become a reviewer without being promiscuous when it comes to products). Therapy bar is a very standard cream colour, there is nothing particularly eye catching, it's not covered in glitter and sparkles but please don't let this deceive you! Imagine wearing lavender perfume while eating a slice of citron tart. That's the scent of Therapy in a nutshell, plain and simple. Therapy is not only excellent...

Review of Lush Therapy Massage Bar

Massage oil in a bar!

Advantages: The smell, the price and the results!
Disadvantages: Can be messy!

...This is one of the best products that Lush have to offer a massage oil in a bar! If you've never heard of this then let me explain. Lush is a company that sells handmade products, from soap, to showergel, to shampoo in a bar to bath ballistics, plus more including a whole range of fresh products! The massage bars are solid bars that contain oils and scents for you to use. They work by placing between your hands and rubbing until the heat from you starts to melt the bar, you then just massage into the place that aches. When you've had a bad day, feeling slighty stressed, got a headache, or just ache all over, this is the ideal bar for you. It is the first one that Lush first produced and if your new to them the one to start with. All the ingredients are either natural or organic just like all other Lush products. This bar just...

Review of Lush Therapy Massage Bar

If you like chocolate Orange you'll love this!

Advantages: gorgeously moisturising and smelling
Disadvantages: quite oily

...I would never have bought this for myself as massage isn't really my thing unless a professional is doing it. But while shopping in Lush for bath products it came as a freebie which was lovely! This incidently of which i talk about is the Lush Therapy massage bar. It is a creamy yellow colour quite solid but starts to melt a little when in contact with the warmth of your skin which makes it ideal for massage! Its ingredients are mainly shea butter, cocoa butter, orange oil and lavender oil, although personally I cannot smell the lavender which I think is a good thing as I can't stand the smell of that! The scent is absolutely delicious though and I mean DELICIOUS! It is like rubbing a Terry's chocolate orange over yourself and is why i love it so! I must confess to not actually having got hubby to rub it on me yet, at the moment...

Ask Me Why I'm Naked...

Advantages: Smells fabulous, reasonably priced, from a shop with morals and principles.
Disadvantages: Your partner in massage could end up with repetitive strain injury...

...Ask Me Why I?m Naked? Lush Therapy Massage Bar The Guilty Shopping Trip This afternoon Himself came back from a jaunt into town to find a new job, having become unemployed at approximately 17.10hrs yesterday afternoon. Perhaps to cheer my face up, or maybe because he?s a bit sick of all the citrusy scented products I?ve become addicted to during the past 8 months or so (a strange sort of aroma-craving!), he sat down on the bed next to me where I was having my pre-baby afternoon nap (I?ll miss those when they?re gone!) and put what felt like a small oval tin into my waiting palms. With my eyes closed I went into Braille mode to try to establish exactly what I?d been given by feel, but ended up cheating and opening said tin to see if it had anything in it. When the lid came off, this amazing smell that could only mean one thing...

Review of Lush Therapy Massage Bar

The effects of massage

Advantages: Brilliant when given by a skilled person
Disadvantages: If they arent skilled, it can be horrid!!!

...Given the right person, a massage can be a wonderful experience. Skilled massage can range from highly expensive private clinics to free treatment on the NHS by physiotherapists. Before running off to pay for a massage, there are a few situations where a massage is not suitable. These include flare ups of pathological conditions, skin infections that could spread, over an open wound or upto the first 4 days over bruising, over a possible malignancy as it could increase the blood supply to the cancer. It is also inappropriate to massage over skin or tissue damage such as burns or skin grafts as the skin could peel off, and directly over a fracture site until they are clinically healed. The main effects of massage are: -relaxation -decreased muscle spasm -decreased perception of pain by providing an alternative stimuli and also...

Indian Head Massage

Advantages: Very relaxing, beneficial to health
Disadvantages: Hair may look greasy afterwards

...~ What is Indian Head Massage? ~ Indian Head Massage originated, as it's name suggests, in India over a thousand years ago. The origin of shampoo comes from a Hindi word 'champi'. Being 'champi-ed' meant having your head massaged. It began as the way to keep your long hair in beautiful condition and has become a part of daily life. IHM can ease headaches and stress as well as helping to deal with scalp and hair problems. It aids localised blood and lymphatic circulation, relieves eyestrain, boosts the immune system, relieves muscle tension, and helps restore joint movement. They can also relieve tension, fatigue, insomnia, headaches, migraine and sinusitis. ~ Why do I have regular Indian Head Massages? ~ In the months leading up to my driving test and my January A-Level exams I started having frequent migraines. I used to get...

Review of Indian Head Massage

Relaxation with Indian Head Massage

Advantages: Excellent at relieving many medial symptoms
Disadvantages: None

...I have written about stress and depression and now for the next few opinions I will talk about different alternative therapies that you can try in order to elevate or reduce the symptoms of these particular conditions. These alternative therapies can also be used for other conditions or simply just for enjoyment, so the opinions will be suitable for all audiences. Indian Head Massage History Well as the name implies the origin of this therapy is as it implies from India. The therapy dates back over 4000 years and although it has been adapted over this time from just the head and hair to include the back neck and shoulders the basic principles have remained the same. It is known in India as ?Champissage? and it used to be practiced by family members all seated behind one and another and massaging the person in fronts head...

Review of Indian Head Massage

Have a relaxing body massage

Advantages: loads
Disadvantages: none I am aware of

...Massage is probably the oldest and simplest of medical treatments. Over two thousand years ago a greek physician said "rubbing can bind a joint that is too loose and loosen a joint that is too rigid". Everyone enjoys a massage.From babies to the elderly, from sportsmen and women to friends and lovers, all can benefit from this powerful form of communication. An effective aid to relaxation, massage helps smoothe away stress, unknotting tense and aching musles, relieving headaches and helping sleep problems.But it's also invigorating:it improves the bodys fuctions and promotes healing. By mastering a few simple techiques and sequences, you will learn the art of touch.Below are a few moves: Effleurage, describes long, soothing stroking movements using the flat of the hand(or fingers if working on small areas.) These are often...

Therapy? - Crooked Timber

Advantages: Catchy riffs and grooves.
Disadvantages: Could be doing with a few more tracks after a 3 year break

...After a 3 year break, re-grouping, re-focusing and re-energising as they put it, Therapy? are back, and dare I say it, better than ever, with "Crooked Timber" - a follow up from 2006's "One Cure Fits All". An album they themselves describe as focusing more on rhythm than melody, it is certainly a step away from their previous rough and raw releases of "Suicide Pact - You First" and more recently "Never Apologise Never Explain" from 2004. This album seems much more suited to the mainstream, much like their previous effort. Here's my run-down of the tracks as they play on the album. The Head That Tried To Strangle Itself (3:25) If you've got a sub woofer, turn it up. Beginning with a heavy mix of guitar and drums, this is an good opener and sets out the focus of the album from the start.. Instructed to sing like he speaks...
