Ever have trouble getting to sleep?

Why not try a cup of chamomile lavender tea?  Both chamomile and lavender have been widely used to promote sleep and relaxation.  As a combined infusion, these herbs have a calming effect that may help the restless night-owl wind down. As with other herbal teas, it is caffeine free.  Its sweet floral taste is appealing to both children and adults.

DE-STRESS!!!

Stress is a natural reaction of the body to situations that could potentially cause us harm. Our stress reaction has evolved to protect us from dangerous or threatening situations. However, the trials of daily life can sometimes trigger our bodies’s natural stress response. Under stress, we may experience physical symptoms including headaches, decreased appetite, elevated blood pressure, chest pain, and panic attacks and or anxiety and problems sleeping. Research suggests that stress also can bring on or worsen certain symptoms or diseases. For these reasons it is essential to manage stress and taking time out to relax (with a cup of tea, perhaps??) is one way to do that. Massage therapy has proven helpful in relieving stress as well. Additionally, massage therapy can be effective in alleviating the symptoms of other conditions such as arthritis, lower back pain, headaches, insomnia, anxiety, circulatory problems, and recovery from a sports injury.

Salts from the Dead Sea

The foot-soaks that we make here at Soakology are not just an extraordinary treat for the senses and the feet! Many of the ingredients we use in each soak recipe have been said to offer range of therapeutic values.  For example, several of our foot-soaks include salts from the Dead Sea. Jordan’s Dead Sea is known for its unusually high salt content. Salts from the Dead Sea are especially high in minerals such as Calcium, Phosphorus, and Magnesium.  These salts have been known to stimulate blood flow in the body, reduce inflammation, improve certain skin ailments and allergies, and have even been said to reduce severity of wrinkling in the skin.
