White Willow bark acts a lot like aspirin, so it is used for pain, including headache, muscle pain, menstrual cramps, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis, gout, and a disease of the spine called ankylosing spondylitis. White Willow bark’s pain relieving potential has been recognized throughout history. Willow bark was commonly used during the time of Hippocrates, when people were advised to chew on the bark to relieve pain and fever. Studies and researches identify that Willow Bark has anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, antiseptic, anti-oxidant, analgesic, and immune boosting capability. Therefore, it has been used in the treatment of a number of minor to severe ailments such as headache, backache, osteoarthritis, PMS, menstrual cramps, muscular pains and strains, cardiovascular disorders, cuts, wounds, burns, colds, flu, fever, and rheumatory and inflammatory disorders, i.e. bursitis, arthritis, painful articular (joint) conditions, carpal tunnel syndrome and tendinitis. ******White Willow Bark should be avoided if you are allergic to aspirin since both of them share the same key ingredient- salicin. It is not recommended for nursing and pregnant mothers, people with chronic ulcers, Crohn's disease, colitis, kidney disease, and asthma as well as for children under 16 since it may cause Rye's Syndrome in them. Sage has anti-inflammatory properties and is, therefore, recommended in cases of diseases such as rheumatism, arthritis and to relieve muscle aches. Sage is also a great muscle relaxant and used by sportspeople. Peppermint is a very effective natural painkiller and muscle relaxant. It is especially helpful in soothing an aching back, sore muscles, and melting away a tension headache. A study shows that peppermint has pain relief benefits associated with Fibromyalgia and Myofascial Pain Syndrome. Nettle Leaf is a medicinal plant and has developed a reputation as a treatment for arthritis over a 2000 year old documented history. It's known to treat a list of ailments, such as Joints/muscles, Arthritis, Rheumatism, Gout, Bursitis, Tendonitis, Loss of muscular power The wonders of Epsom salt have been well known for hundreds of years and unlike other salts, Epsom salt has beneficial properties that can soothe the body, mind and soul. Some of the countless health benefits include relaxing the nervous system, curing skin problems, soothing back pain and aching limbs, easing muscle strain, healing cuts, treating cold and congestion, and drawing toxins from the body. One of the simplest ways to ease stress and stress-related problems is to soak in a tub full of hot water with a few scoops or more of Epsom Salts. Some of the magical benefits of Epsom salt include: Eases stress and relaxes the body Stress drains the body of magnesium and increases levels of adrenaline. When dissolved in warm water, Epsom salt is absorbed through the skin and replenishes the level of magnesium in the body. The magnesium helps to produce serotonin, a mood-elevating chemical within the brain that creates a feeling of calm and relaxation. Magnesium ions also relax and reduce irritability by lowering the effects of adrenaline. They create a relaxed feeling, improve sleep and concentration, and help muscles and nerves to function properly. Relieves pain and muscle cramps An Epsom salt bath is known to ease pain and relieve inflammation, making it beneficial in the treatment of sore muscles, bronchial asthma and migraine headaches. Mix a thick paste of Epsom salt with hot water and apply to get soothing comfort. Try soaking your aching, tired (and smelly) feet in a tub of water with half a cup of our Epsom Salts. Epsom salt softens skin and will even neutralize foot odor. Helps muscles and nerves function properly Studies show that Epsom salt can help regulate electrolytes in your body, ensuring proper functioning of the muscles, nerves and enzymes. Magnesium is also known to be critical in the proper use of calcium, which serves as a main conductor of the electric impulses in your body. To use, simply toss a tea bag into the bath water while the tub fills. Let the tea steep while you relax and soak up its nourishing health benefits.

A fibromyalgia diagnosis is more a process of elimination because there are other conditions with similar symptoms, including rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and lupus.
Ballatsu is a unique therapy product that allows you to effectively manage acute and chronic pain easily by stimulating trigger points and massaging muscles. Anyone suffering from Fibromyalgia, Myofascial Pain Syndrome, Sciatica, Dorsalgia or other nerve, muscular, tendon and degenerative issues will find relief using this product. The Ballatsu name simply means "ball pressure" and was created out of necessity. Suffering from Fibromyalgia, I found relief through shiatsu massage and devised a way to treat myself. Using a ball to apply pressure to the trigger points worked great, but found it awkward to position properly. Attaching a ball to a rope was the solution and using four balls added greater flexibility. Although a simple idea, it became challenging to perfect. Developing, prototyping and then making many by hand while suffering from Fibromyalgia was physically demanding, but very rewarding. The aesthetic beauty of the product is a huge benefit in that the Ballatsu will always be close at hand (no need to hide it in the closet). Reaching out to others suffering from similar ailments has been most satisfying. Ballatsu’s beautiful and long lasting design allows you to enjoy it anywhere. At home, at the office or even while travelling. Purchase with confidence and receive many years of self-healing.
