New Thai Foot Massage Oil and Lotion By BestMassage


Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 29, 2013

Earlier this year, BestMassage released eight new rosewood massage tools from Thailand. They have followed this up this month with two new Thai imports: Thai Foot Massage Oil and Thai Foot Nourishing Lotion.


Thai Foot Massage Oil and Thai Foot Nourishing Lotion are specially designed for authentic Thai foot massage. According to the BestMassage website, Thai foot massage is an ancient practice that has its roots in both Chinese and Indian healing traditions and is thought to open up blocked energy channels, heal a variety of ailments, and promote good health. When administering a Thai foot massage, practitioners use their hands or wooden massage tools, in conjunction with oil or lotion, to apply pressure to various reflexology points on the feet. Reflexology points correspond to other parts and systems of the body, so not only does a Thai foot massage refresh sore, tired, feet; it also restores balance to the body as a whole.


Amona Buecher, owner of BestMassage, says that more and more practitioners are adding Thai massage and Thai foot massage to their service offerings. She believes Thai massage is becoming so popular because with its few contraindications, it is appropriate for nearly everyone. Furthermore, it balances the body as a whole, and it leaves the client feeling refreshed and mentally alert. She says to keep up with demand, BestMassage will continue to offer new products specifically designed for Thai massage.


According to BestMassage.com, Thai Foot Massage Oil provides a perfect glide ideal for hands or massage tools. Therapeutic essential oils like wintergreen, carnation, and flora plus the invigorating coolness of menthol create a deliciously refreshing, healing, aromatic experience. Thai Foot Nourishing Lotion is designed for use after a Thai foot massage. It contains emollients that keep the feet deeply hydrated and free from cracks and fissures. Like Thai Foot Massage Oil, Thai Foot Nourishing Lotion contains menthol crystals which deliver a cool, refreshing sensation to the skin. For best results, BestMassage advises the oil and lotion be used together.


Thai Foot Nourishing Oil and Thai Foot Nourishing Lotion come in three sizes: 8oz, 32oz, and one gallon and retail for $ 8.90, $ 22.90, and $ 85.90, respectively. The 8 and 32oz bottles come with a convenient pump top while the economy gallon size comes with an easy-grip handle and easy-pour cap top. The oil and lotion are available now on BestMassage.com in the Oils, Lotions, Creams, and Gel section.

FootMassageRater.com Reveals Ten Easy Foot Care Tips for Healthy Feet

(PRWEB) June 06, 2013

The feet are some of the most overlooked and neglected parts of our body and should be cared for accordingly. The feet support the body's weight, act as shock absorbers, serve as a lever to propel the body forward and help maintain balance throughout the day. The feet are put under a great amount of pressure. Each step we take exerts a tremendous amount of force upon them. This force is 50% greater than the individual's body weight.


Foot pain is a very common problem. It is estimated that 75% of people in the United States suffer from foot pain at some point in their lives, often leaving the problems untreated. Foot pain can occur because of uncomfortable shoes, old age, ingrown toe nails, standing for long periods and general neglect of the feet. There are many home remedies for foot pain including warm foot baths, self-massage, adjusting diet and purchasing a quality foot massager.


"People need to stop neglecting their tired, aching feet and begin a regimen of proper foot care," says Michael Zuyus, founder of FootMassageRater.com. Here are ten easy foot care tips for healthy feet:


1. Wear Properly Sized Shoes


Improperly fitted shoes can damage the feet, resulting in blisters, sore joints and other problems. To achieve a better fit, shop for shoes later in the day when the feet are the most swollen. Feel around inside the shoe for any seams that might cause blisters. Also, ensure that the heel of the shoe isnt slipping off of the Achilles tendon as this can cause irritation.


2. Wear a Variety of Shoes


Believe it or not, shoes need to rest and dry out completely periodically. Wearing the same shoes every day will not give the shoes a chance to air out. This can lead to the growth of fungus and bacteria and can even cause foot odor.


3. Choose Appropriate Shoes


Many people damage their feet by wearing the wrong shoes. Feet need adequate support and cushioning for specific activities like running, climbing or simply standing all day.


4. Wash Feet Thoroughly


Daily, careful washing can prevent a multitude of foot problems. Be sure to get even those hard to reach places, like between the toes, to prevent the growth of bacteria and stave off infections. Dry the feet thoroughly, including between the toes, every time.


5. Buff Away Calluses and Corns


After the shower, use a pumice stone on corns and calluses. A pumice stone can be picked up at any grocery store for a few dollars, and it can keep the feet looking healthy and feeling great. Rub the stone across any rough, raised patches of skin on the feet, making certain to rub in only one direction to avoid tearing the skin.


6. Use Lotion


Dry, cracked feet can be painful as well as unattractive. Even worse, open skin is much more prone to infection. Moisturized feet are healthy feet. For best results, apply lotion after the pumice stone, then put on socks before going to bed.


7. Maintain Nails


Nail fungus is uncomfortable, and so are ingrown toenails. One of the keys to preventing these problems is properly trimming toenails. Cut them straight across, taking care to not cut off the corners. Cutting off the corners can actually cause ingrown toenails. If the corner of a nail is causing problems, gently file it down.


8. Avoid Going Barefoot


Regardless whether in the locker room, at the pool or a backyard, feet will be protected from a multitude of threats simply by being covered. Feet will less likely to get athletes foot when protected with shoes or sandals. In addition, shoes provide support that keep feet comfortable.


9. Get a Foot Massage


Foot massage is extremely powerful and pleasurable. It reduces stress and produces a state of relaxation. It can also increase blood circulation. As blood is the lifeline for every cell in the body, the feet will feel rejuvenated and cleansed as the blood flow to them increases. Foot massage is restorative, increases energy and can reduce the chances of encountering stress-related diseases.


10. Seek a Podiatrist


Constant foot pain, other than the usual tired ache after a long day, is never normal. If feet are routinely causing pain, look for the advice of a podiatrist to treat any potential problems before they get worse.

South Bay Vascular Center and Vein Institute Launches Social Media Campaign to Promote Foot Health Awareness, and Gives Tips to Keep Feet Healthy


San Jose, CA (PRWEB) June 08, 2013

South Bay Vascular Center and Vein Institute in San Jose, CA has launched a new campaign via social media focusing on foot health education. The campaign provides the public with simple tips and ideas to care for feet, in order to promote improved health and a better quality of life.


Dr. Polly Kokinos, Dr. Jafar Tay, Dr. John Frusha, and Dr. Kim Rappaport, the four leading vein doctors at South Bay Vascular Center, encourage walking as a way to promote foot health. Walking for thirty minutes five times a week can help encourage blood flow, explains Dr. Kokinos. This lowers the risk of varicose veins, swelling in the feet, and deep vein thrombosis.


South Bay Vascular Center and Vein Institute specializes in treating various forms of vein disease, a problem that can affect foot health. Walking is one of several topics the center is discussing this month. They are providing foot health tips through Twitter and Facebook.


Though they are often overlooked, good health in the feet can have a positive impact on the rest of the body.


Varicose Vein Treatment Options


Varicose veins and spider veins are extremely common in men and women. While spider veins are very small, reddish veins on the surface of the skin, varicose veins are much larger, bulging, tangled veins that may appear bluish in color. Men and women suffer from varicose veins, although women are much more likely to have them.


Today, patients have access to a number of effective varicose vein treatment options. Advancements in technology and medicine have led to the development of effective, minimally invasive treatments that produce optimal results with few side-effects or downtime. These treatments include sclerotherapy, radio frequency ablation, phlebectomy, and endovenous laser ablation.


About The South Bay Vascular Center and Vein Institute


The South Bay Vascular Center and Vein Institute is a premier center of excellence located in Campbell, CA and serving the greater San Jose, CA area. As a leading vein treatment center, the institutes medical staff is composed of vein experts who maintain top credentials in their fields, and are highly trained in providing the most advanced treatments.

Faster Wound Care for Diabetic Foot Ulcers: FDA-registration of New Non-prescription Terrasil Wound Care Ointment May Be Important News for 16 million diabetics in U.S.


Woonsocket, RI (PRWEB) June 17, 2013

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) nearly 30 million people in the U.S. have diabetes. Diabetic foot ulcers are a major complication resulting from diabetes. They occur in approximately 15% of diabetics and precede 84% of all lower leg amputations. Diabetic foot ulcers and related problems cause 20 percent of the nearly 3 million hospitalizations related to diabetes every year. Due to poor circulation in diabetic patients, diabetic chronic wounds heal very slowly and often remain for years as skin ulcers. To control infection and prevent amputation, non-healing chronic wounds require expensive treatments that can cost thousands of dollars. According to the American Diabetes Association, the average cost of healing a single foot ulcer is $ 8,000, that of an infected ulcer is $ 17,000, and that of a major amputation is $ 45,000. But, now there may be an effective and substantially lower-cost alternative.


NEW FDA-REGISTERED WOUND CARE OINTMENT

A new, non-prescription ointment was recently registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for distribution in the U.S. It may provide a very low cost alternative for treatment of diabetic foot ulcers and other chronic wounds and traumatic wounds.


Developed and manufactured by Aidance Skincare, a Rhode Island company, their Wound Care Ointment is sold direct to consumers under the brand name Terrasil. During development of the wound care formulation, clinical studies in 2010 and 2011 with 192 patients showed that the ointment was able to heal chronic wounds up to 3.7-times (370%) faster than conventional treatment. Normally, a 15-20% clinical improvement is noteworthy, so more than 300% is extraordinary.


Since the products introduction in October 2012, it has been distributed to hospitals throughout the U.S. By March, Dr. Thomas Serena, MD - one of the worlds top wound care experts - was so impressed with the ointments effectiveness that he initiated a multi-center case study program to document the formulations ability to heal diabetic foot ulcers faster. Physicians and nurses at hospitals, wound care centers and medical offices across the U.S. have demonstrate the powerful efficacy of Terrasil Wound Care & Antiseptic Ointment to control bioburden and support healing 2-4 times faster than comparative treatment options.


Clinical evaluations are currently being performed in 18 hospitals in the U.S., with initial case studies documenting effective control of infection and accelerated healing of even the hardest-to-heal chronic wounds. In addition, in-vitro laboratory tests comparing the companys Wound Care Ointment to Bacitracin, Triple Antibiotic Ointment and several silver gels, showed that the Terrasil formulation killed bacteria up to 21-times (21X) more efficiently and prevented regrowth of the bacteria. This is important because bacterial invasion of chronic wounds, referred to as bioburden, is a major inhibitor of healing.


HELPS DOCTORS HEAL CHRONIC WOUNDS

Dr. Jeffrey Niezgoda, MD, a nationally-prominent wound specialist said: Terrasil is a novel wound ointment that has the potential to provide significant positive impact on one of the primary impediments to healing in chronic wounds: wound bioburden. It is easy to use and well tolerated by patients with all types of non-healing wounds and should be considered as a primary topical agent.


Dr. Brock Liden, DPM, a podiatric researcher and frequent speaker at conferences said: Terrasil Wound Care & Antiseptic Ointment is a new, unique topical cream that has proven to be very effective treating recalcitrant wounds. It has provided a dual-prong benefit for our patients, by resolving infections that did not respond to traditional topical silver dressing - even outperforming oral therapies - and by being effective at epithelizing and closing wounds. This ointment provides the doctor with a new tool that is effective against both easy-to-treat wounds and complicated, difficult-to-heal wounds.


Available in a 14-gram (0.5 ounce) and 44-gram (1.5 ounce) container, the wound care ointment costs between $ 24 and $ 57. The Terrasil ointment provides three critical functions: providing a barrier protection for wounds (especially chronic wounds), reducing the chance of infection, and supporting healing. The wound care ointments are formulated with a patented mineral complex, active ingredients, organic extracts and compounds. These mixtures produce a synergistic effect that provides outstanding support for accelerated natural healing of diabetic foot ulcers and other types of wounds. Several patents have been awarded and more are pending in the U.S. and internationally.
