Hi Guys
I'm the most fortunate of souls in being surrounded by practitioners of alternative medicine. (witches actually

). In the last couple of weeks I've had Reiki, Acupuncture and different forms of massage. But I have to recommend one treatment that was most benificial. And strangely enough it is a very old remedy used in childbirth and that is the simple process of applying hot towels across the painful area (my shoulders and neck). I am amazed how affective it is. Enjoyable too. My friend used terry toweling hand towels and soaked them in near boiling water which had sandlewood and patchoulie essential oils (for healing and strength). The hand towels were replaced every twenty seconds or so as the heat went out of them. This continued for about half an hour. Boy did I feel good. I had candles and soft healing music happening as well.... it beats chemical medication. Shame I have no more pain (think I might invent some

).
Hugz.
