Call it fate, whatever? There I was, miserable, because of my worsening mobility, when I received a health article which seemed tailored to my condition. I hadn’t Googled it, but suspicion falls on that mighty organisation because they uncannily do seem to know all about me, what I had for breakfast, and that I qualify for Care Home and Funeral Parlour adverts.
On the telly, through the post, plus every time I power up the ruddy computer –
‘ We’ll Take CARE Of YOU! - Past Caring CARE HOMES
‘Burial prices are increasing at an alarming rate. Book your funeral now and benefit from today’s low prices’ - Pushing Daisies Funeral Parlours.
Anyway - The article was about handclapping being of benefit - I quote - Striking both the hands helps in better blood circulation in the veins and arteries and is extremely beneficial for those with cholesterol problems.
Isn’t that spooky ! I have lower leg circulation sluggishness, and the article homes in on exactly that. But perhaps I want it to, as in clutching at straws.
I think there is logic to it, because the treatment relates to Acupuncture and Reflexology energy points. I believe in those. I have a hand held Electronic Acupuncture Unit. The author also mentions Yoga as being an influence in the procedure.
The overall concept of acupuncture is the body runs on energy or qi pronounced Chee. The energy system involves defined pathways known as Meridians, each of which has multiple acupuncture points that affect various organs, areas or body systems.
Hand reflexology can be employed to relieve symptoms of headaches, congestion, muscle soreness. The reflexologists require you to apply more pressure than you would use on your feet because the reflexion points are much deeper in the hands than the feet – See Image -
