We've come a long way in applying materials to the skin while doing massage therapy. Hog's lard, powder, olive oil, and liniment are just a few of the materials that have been used in massage. Olive oil was believed to ease pain. Liniment was used to increase circulation. I'm not certain what the lard did other than being used to oil the skin. Some of these, such as powder, are still being used today.

Well, it's that time of the year and "something" is going around. Chills, headaches, runny nose, fever, watery eyes, cough, sneezing ...you catch my drift.

Remember when you were a kid and could place your palms on the floor while bending over? Ah, the good old days for many of us. Try it now at your own risk.
