Acupressure points massage at JoJo's Massage

Hello,

Many people ask me about acupressure point massage.  How does it work?

Nerves are like telephone wires.  They send communication from your body, to your brain.  Also from the brain to the different parts of the  body.  Thy go from the brain, through your spine, and then different body parts.  Then , so that you can get healthy things like sun  and oxygen and other nutrients to different points on your skin.   These points are acupressure points.  When these are massaged  or stimulated, then it connect to the healing point of the body.

Below are some examples of different acupressure massage points.

You can take care of some issues yourself, if you know your points.  

If you have constipation, then touch your intestine points.  

Be careful though. On some points, if you press too long, you can hurt your body.  

Best thing to do is to let a trained massage therapist do it for you.  If you do it yourself, no problem, just do a little bit of study.

It's at the outside of the bone that's on the front of the lower leg, one finger breadth from the crest of that bone.

Presidents Day Special at JoJo's Massage

Today is President's Day.   

The American presidents have been very honorable people.  George Washington was a very good man.  They wanted him to be King of America.  He said NO!   Can you believe it?   Never in the history of the world has someone said no to more power (not that I know of anyway)    He could have been the big boss for the rest of his life, but he said NO.  He understood that we had just won our freedom  from Monarchy.  He had the good vision to see that this was not the way.   

Lincoln new that slavery as not good for our country. A lot of people did not agree with him, but he stayed true.  America call him honest Abe because he always tell the truth.  

Kennedy said that we will go to the moon, and he made that happen.    Lyndon Johnson was on the said of civil rights and made many people more free, and life more fair.

I think American people are good people maybe because they study these good presidents when they are young, and look at them as our role model.  

I am very happy to be an American Citizen and have these presidents as a guide.

For Presidents day, we will give you $20 off of four hand massage.  You can get  two girls at the same time for only $80 for an hour.  Discount applies to longer session also.

Hope  see you soon

Sinus Troubles? continued from last blog from JoJo's Massage


Hello Everybody,

I really appreciate the great responses from this blog.  
It is an early, below freezing, morning here in Harbin China. Everybody is asleep so it is a good time to write.
Sinus problem is a very large problem. On TV you will see commercial after commercial on drugs to help your sinuses. Unfortunately, these drug do more harm than good, even though they will give a very temporary relief.
Like anyone that has followed my blog knows, if something is going to work well, the cure will be slow.  Nature moves slowly.
So you must know why you have sinus problems.  
Your nose is maybe one of the most important parts on your whole body.  It's job is to filter germs and stop them from getting inside your body.  It does this by producing mucus (sometimes called snot).   This mucus is what is used to trap germs.   When a germ does sneak in, then your will produce excess mucus and you will get a runny nose.  A runny nose helps to get the excess germs out by running out of your body and/or dripping down into your digestive system where it can be handle and eliminated as waste (or you can just spit).
When germs get trapped in your nose and does not get out, then mucus forms around it and hardens. This action is to protect you from the germ.  Unfortunately, this hardened mucus can block your sinus nasal passages.  
Germs can also come from the back of your teeth, or from rotting teeth. Even from the back of your tongue.  So a good sonic toothbrush and very good mouthwash that does not contain alcohol will also be a good preventative for your sinus health. 
These sinus are just holes in your head.  It is the only place in your body where you have these cavities.  They are behind your nose, above your eyes, in your cheeks etc.  If you took you hand and covered your face, you will cover all the sinus. 
Sinuses are air tunnels that let oxygen go to your important organs like your lungs, and your brain.  These sinuses also act like a crumple zone on a car that protect your brain.  If you get in a crash or someone hits you, then your sinuses will take the impact before your brain does.
So now you have to ask yourself,  "where do germs come from in my life?"   
Mold is a big problem.  Very small microscopic mold spores can get in the air and into your nose.  Pet dander, dust mites, feces from bugs, like roaches and spiders etc.  
So the first hing to do is clean, clean clean.  kill all the mold, vacuum inside your coach, deep clean your carpet, clean your refrigerator, etc.
Sanitize your bathroom.  Because steam from your shower can put water into the smallest nooks and crannies in your bathroom. Mold spores can develop in your bathroom very easily.   When you flush your toilet, close the lid. Because toxic fumes bubble up when you flush, and they go right into the air. 
Did you know that hospitals do not allow any fruit on the cancer section because of mold?   Fruit grows  mold very quickly.  
To take care of that, use food grade hydrogen peroxide spray from the health store and follow the directions. You can also use it to clean surfaces.  It is healthier than using bleach, but use bleach if you do not have another choice.
Also there are very good natural nasal mist sprays. You can use hydrogen peroxide as a spray, but you must be very careful and dilute it properly.
Us saline solution to keep the inside of your nose moist, carry a bottle with you.  Also colloidal silver nasal spray will help balance your body. This will help you liver health.   A small amount of tea tree oil under your nostrils will help open you sinus passages so that you can do a deep cleaning with Q tips soaked in Saline.  Or you can mix some sea salt and water to do deep nasal cleaning
Adjust your diet. Stay away from meats, sugar, dairy, including milk and eggs. These all produce excess mucus.   A completely Vegan diet would be best, but try at least 75% vegan diet if you really love meats.   
Get a good HEPA air filtration system that specializes in allergens and dander. Make sire it has an Ionizer. This will put negative Ions in the air, (Just like a rain does).  Negative Ions attach themselves to dust. Once they are attached to the dust, then they are too heavy to stay afloat. When that happens, they drop to the ground. Then you can just vacuum. 
You can even get your heating and air mechanic to put special ultra violate lights that kill germs before they get into your air.  A whole house air purifier is expensive, but if you can afford it , look into it.
So, basically you will need a very large lifestyle change if you have a very large problem with your sinuses. 
Begin regular deep breathing exersizes, make your body fit and strong, maybe even try some yoga.
If you know any other solutions, or if I have forgotten anything, please feel free to post it here. We have thousands of people who follow this blog.
Come in and get your sinus drainage massage regularly for the beginning of your sinus cleaning program.
We are always here to help you

unusually warm weather, good time for massage therapy to drain your sinuses

Why are your sinuses clogged?  

Well, there is a couple of reasons this can happen

1) Allergies.   What are allergies?  They happen because there is a signal in your body that something is poison.  Your body is trying to stop whatever it is from coming in.  Why does your body think it is poison?  because it may sit in your body and rot, once it rots, then it triggers something in your brain that anyhting that has to do with that is poison.  For example:  you eat an apple, part of that apple gets stuck in your intestinal track and does not exit right away and becomes rotten.  Rotten apple is unhealthy, so your body wants to fight it. It remembers all the ingredients.   So now you have an allergy to apples.  The next time you eat an apple, your body automatically fights it.   This is how allergies begin.  How do you handle that?   Sinus drainage massage will give you temporary relief, but a series of 10-12 colon cleansing sessions with a licensed and trained colon therapist (with their advice) will clean your body of anything rotten in your gut.  A healthy person has 2-3 bowel movements every day. If  the waste of whatever you are eating does not exit your body within 12-24 hours, it will rot and begin to give you allergies.  If you are constipated, this is really bad.  So clean your insides.  You wash the outside of your body 1-2 times per day, right?   You need to wash the inside of your body too.

2)Mold.  Mold in your house, mold on your food (especially fruits), mold spores in the air., mold on your cigarettes, cigars, or Marijuana.  Mold on your clothes and in your bed, mold in your bathroom, kitchen or even from a wet spot on your rug.
The mold can get stuck behind your tonsil and in the back of your sinuses.   Your nose reacts to the mold by trying to close the entrance ways (your nostrils). Mold is very difficult to handle, because it is microscopic and hard to kill. Use of hydrogen peroxide, (carefully and with advice from wellness doctor).  There is a a colloidal silver nose spry (but don't use it for more than 10 days) that will help you body balance itself.

When your body is fighting something, it releases a chemical called Histamine.  Histamine is for fighting things in your body, but too much can make you die. For example, if you get a mosquito bite,the your body sends a lot of histamine to that spot.  Histamine is why it becomes red and itchy.  If you release too much Histamine, you can go into antibolic shock which can make all of your organs shut down.   The only way to fight Histamine is with another body chemical called Adrenaline.. Adrenaline gives you way too much power and energy and should only be released in emergency situations.  Too much release of adrenaline while fighting histamines will create a very weak and tired body that also has a very low tolerance for illness.    

3) your diet...  Too much mucus clogs your sinuses.  Mucus comes from foods like milk, cheese, (anything dairy) processed sugar, high fructose corn syrup, many meats.  Try a Vegan diet for about 3-4 weeks> Se if this will make you feel better

There are more reasons for sinus trouble, but we will pick that up in another time, because this post is getting too long.

Come see us for a sinus drainage massage for temporary relief.  Like I have said in the past, don't use prescription drugs or over the counter drugs.  Your body will fight anything  that is not natural.

Well, I hope this will help you

President's day is coming to JoJo's Massage

When I studied to be American Citizen,  I learned a bout a few presidents.   I learned the  George Washington  asked to be the King of America.  He said NO!!   This is a very honorable thing.  He think, we just got rid of one monarch, now he want to give American people another one?

American people are very honorable.   They do not always do things for themselves. American people like to help another people.  I am proud to now be American people.

If you want to come in for massage  I will extend our Valenine's special for another day.  $40 off for one person, or $80 off for two people.  

Look forward to seeing you soon.
