The Spa on Green Street

During the winter months, people spend hours at the doctor’s office and endless amounts of money on cold and flu medications. Parents panic every time their child comes home with a runny nose. But, what if there was a way to help alleviate just a bit of that stress during the winter months? Or what if there was a possibility that you wouldn’t have to take daily allergy medication anymore? Or have to listen to your significant other snore every single night?

The Spa on Green Street now offers Ancient Secrets Nasal Cleansing Pot for the cleansing of nasal passages which truly can make a difference in your family’s health. This practice has been used for centuries with yoga and meditation practitioners but has been on the rise in the United States; thanks to The Oprah Winfrey Show and Dr. Oz, known as “America’s Doctor,” who has been a very vocal proponent of the use of neti pots.

The neti pot thins mucus to help flush it out of the nasal passages and helps increase speed and improve coordination of the cilia (tiny, hair-like structures in the nose) to more effectively remove the bacteria, allergens and other irritants that cause sinus problems.

Ear, nose and throat surgeons recommend cleansing the nasal passages after sinus surgery. Also, studies have shown that patients with chronic sinus issues that use the neti pot have a reduced need for antibiotics and nasal sprays.

Modern studies are showing that nasal cleansing is as effective as drugs for preventing sinus infections and is hugely beneficial for people with nasal allergies and headaches. Other studies have shown that people who perform nasal irrigation daily experience fewer colds than those that do not.

Nasal cleansing has also been shown to help those who snore. Use of the neti pot before sleep will help to ensure that the nasal passages are open for optimal breathing during sleep. Nasal cleansing can help to prevent snoring and mouth breathing and aid in a deeper, more relaxing sleep.

Come visit The Spa on Green Street to purchase your Nasal Cleansing Pot today! The neti pot is ceramic, dishwasher safe, and only $20.34. An amazing deal for the life-altering effects that nasal cleansing will have on you and your family!

Not sure what the difference is between Swedish and deep tissue? Are you holding off making an appointment because you aren’t sure what type would suit your needs best? Well, here is some information to help you choose the perfect massage for you.

A Swedish massage is best used to improve circulation, relax tight muscles, increase range of motion, and encourage the release of toxins from body tissues. The massage therapist will use long, kneading/gliding strokes, varying in speed and pressure. A Swedish massage has little effect on the connective tissues. This is a general relaxation massage.

A deep tissue massage is used to relieve chronic stress and heavy muscle tension. The deeper muscles and connective tissues are the focus of a deep tissue massage. The massage therapist uses slow movements that are designed to target tissues deep within the body. The pace is slower in order to give the strokes time to work on the intended area.

Many women turn to prenatal massage to ease the lower back pain that goes along with pregnancy, however a study conducted by researchers at the University of Miami reveals many benefits in addition to pain relief. The study split the 149 pregnant participants into two groups- members of one group receiving two massages per week from the fifth to the seventh months of their pregnancies and members of the other group receiving no massages. The women in the group receiving massage showed lower stress levels and less back pain. However, they also showed fewer signs of depression and had fewer overall prenatal complications.
The most surprising and potentially beneficial finding was the relationship between massage and the serious complications of low birth weight and premature birth. They group which received massage had a 75% lower rate of premature birth and an 80% lower rate of low birth weight babies.
The Spa on Green Street offers luxurious one hour and 90 minute prenatal massage for women past their first trimester of pregnancy.
