Wellbeing Massage Therapy

I have just made these all natural deodorants. I have used all natural ingredients, 100% essential oils which makes these deodorants safe to use and they are breast tissue friendly. The oils used are Lemongrass, geranium and frankincense. They are in these absolutely adorable tins.
Natural deodorant is often considered better because it avoids potentially harsh chemicals (like aluminum, parabens, phthalates) found in antiperspirants, allowing your body to sweat naturally while fighting odor with plant-based, antibacterial ingredients, which can reduce skin irritation and support healthier skin. It works with your body's natural functions rather than blocking them, leading to less clogged pores and supporting a balanced skin microbiome, making it ideal for sensitive skin.
Key Benefits of Natural Deodorant:
No Aluminum: Unlike antiperspirants that block sweat ducts with aluminum, natural deodorants let you sweat, a vital bodily function for cooling.
Free from Harsh Chemicals: They typically exclude parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances, reducing exposure to potentially harmful substances.
Gentler on Skin: Plant-based ingredients like coconut oil, baking soda (in moderation), and essential oils are less irritating for many, especially those with sensitive skin.
Supports Natural Processes: By not blocking pores, natural deodorants allow your body to release toxins and maintain a healthy sweat/odour balance.
Antibacterial Action: Ingredients like baking soda, magnesium, or essential oils kill odour-causing bacteria rather than just masking odour.
Eco-Friendly: Often made with biodegradable ingredients and sustainable packaging, promoting better environmental practices.
How It Works:
Natural deodorants use ingredients like baking soda, arrowroot powder, or magnesium to absorb moisture and neutralize odor, while essential oils provide fresh scents, all working alongside your skin's natural bacteria to keep you fresh without interfering with sweating.

Sciatic Pain and Bulging Disc Pain
Sciatic pain is a symptom of an underlying issue, while a bulging disc is a physical injury to the spine. Sciatica is characterised by pain that radiates from the lower back through the hips, buttocks, and down each leg, often affecting only one side of the body. The pain may be mild and intermittent or sharp and debilitating. It can be triggered by several conditions that place pressure on the sciatic nerve, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease.
A bulging disc, on the other hand, is a condition where the disc pushes out beyond its normal space, often due to normal aging, injury, or genetics. It does not always cause pain, but when it does, the symptoms may include pain in the lower back, buttocks, and legs. The pain's strength depends on how much the disc is pressing and the person's health.
Understanding the difference between these two conditions is crucial for effective treatment and recovery.

Can Massage help Sciatica?
Massage therapy is an effective way to relieve pain. A 2014 study even found that deep tissue massage can be as effective as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for relieving low back pain, which can be a symptom of sciatica.
When it comes to sciatica, massage can help in two ways. A massage's main benefit is to soothing tense/ tight muscles. When your muscles are tense, they can put more pressure on your nerves, including your sciatic nerve. Massaging these tense muscles may help to release the tension which will reduce pressure on your sciatic nerve.
Soft tissue massage may also help to increase your pain threshold by stimulating the release of endorphins. Endorphins boost pleasure and relieve pain, causing an increased feeling of well-being.
Can Taping help?
RockTape, a type of kinesiology tape, can be used to help manage sciatica pain by potentially reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and supporting the affected area.
Pain Relief:
RockTape is designed to lift the skin, which can help reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve and surrounding tissues, potentially alleviating pain.
Improved Circulation:
By lifting the skin, RockTape can also promote blood flow and lymphatic drainage, which can help remove irritants and reduce inflammation.
Muscle Support:
RockTape can provide gentle support to the muscles around the sciatic nerve, which can help improve stability and reduce strain.
Proprioceptive Feedback:
The tape can also provide sensory feedback to the brain, which can help improve body awareness and control.

How is sciatica treated?
Treating sciatica usually involves trying to decrease pain and increase mobility. Many treatments are things you can do yourself.
Self-treatment
Depending on the cause, milder cases of sciatica usually get better with self-treatment.
** Please note - Pain that’s moderate to severe, with numbness and tingling or muscle weakness are all symptoms that need professional medical care. Seek Professional help BEFORE trying these self help treatments.
Self-treatments can include:
* Ice - Ice packs can help reduce pain and swelling during the first few days after sciatica pain starts. You can use an ice pack or wheat bag(but always wrap them in a towel to prevent cold-related injuries to your skin). Apply cold for 20 minutes at a time, several times a day.
* Heat - After the first several days of using cold or ice, switch to a heating pad or warm compress. Apply heat for 20 minutes at a time. If you’re still in pain, switch between hot and cold packs — whichever best relieves your discomfort.
* Stretching and activity - Learning how to stretch properly from an instructor with experience with low back pain can be a major help. They may also be able to help you work your way up to other general strengthening, core muscle strengthening and aerobic exercises.

What are the symptoms of sciatica?
* Pain - Sciatica pain happens because of pressure on the affected nerve(s). Most people describe sciatica pain as burning or like an electric shock. This pain also often shoots or radiates down the leg on the affected side. Pain commonly happens with coughing, sneezing, bending or lifting your legs upward when lying on your back.
* Tingling or “pins and needles” - This is similar to the feeling you have when a leg falls asleep because you sat cross-legged.
* Numbness - This is when you lose sensation on the skin in the affected areas of your back or leg. It happens because signals from your back or leg are having trouble reaching your brain.
* Muscle weakness - This is a more severe symptom. It means that muscle command signals are having trouble reaching their destinations in your back or legs.

What is sciatica?
Sciatica is nerve pain which can be from an injury or irritation to your sciatic nerve. In addition to pain, it can involve tingling or numbness in your back or butt that may also radiate down your leg. More severe symptoms are also possible.
The sciatic nerve is bundle of nerves coming from five nerve roots branching off from your spinal cord, is around 2 cm thick. We have 2 sciatic nerves, one on each side of the body. The sciatic nerve runs through the hip and buttock, moving down each leg until it reaches the just below knee where it branches off into other nerves that connect to lower leg, feet and toes.
Having sciatica means you can experience mild to severe pain. This pain can affect your lower back, hips, buttocks or legs. Some symptoms may extend as far down as your feet and toes, depending on the specific nerve(s) affected.
There are two types of sciatica. Regardless of what type you have, the effects are the same.
The types are:
* True sciatica - This is any condition or injury that directly affects your sciatic nerve.
* Sciatica-like conditions - These are conditions that feel like sciatica, but happen for other reasons related to the sciatic nerve or the nerves that bundle together to form it.
