I live in north jersey close to Rt.17 south. Looking for reasonably priced, good foot massage spa for my husband. Any suggestions will help!

Been in Dallas for 2 years and still haven’t been crazy about any that I’ve found, with the exception of Nail Butik on Lover’s near the Tollway (I think that’s how they spell it). They give an exceptionally long foot and leg massage. I’d like to find something closer to home however, near Frankford and the Tollway. I’ll travel a few miles though if it is worth it!

Can you use coffee grounds on your legs with cellulite on them then wrap your body up with plastic wrap? Would this help get rid of cellulite or at least less visible? Thanks!

About Fish Oil Capsules

Fish oil capsules are a new health supplement phenomenon. TV ads promote them. Stores display them prominently. My brother takes them diligently since taking a health class. Do they provide a real health benefit or are they merely a fad?
The hype behind fish oil is Omega-3 fatty acids. We can’t live without them. There are three different Omega-3 fatty acids acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are the two with the most benefit. They are also easiest for our body to use. Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is poorly converted in our bodies to DHA and EPA.
“Pretty much everybody’s diet is deficient in omega-3s. That’s why adding them back seems to have so many health benefits, (WebMD.com)” says Dr, D. Leopold M.D., Director of Integrative Medicine at Scripps Center in San Diego. Increased intake may be especially important for people with certain diseases or risk factors.
Since the 1930’s, scientists have known that Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to normal growth and health. In the 1970’s researches studied the Greenland Inuit Tribe. This people group consumed large amounts of fat from seafood, yet had no heart disease. The high level of Omega-3 fatty acids, in their diet protected them from high triglycerides (blood fat) and reduced their heart rate, blood pressure, and atherosclerosis. Omega-3s also have an anti-inflammatory effect.
Omega-3s reduce the negative impact of another essential fatty acid,
Omega-6s, which make our blood sticky and cause inflammation. Our western diet is full of Omega-6s and lacks the Omega-3s. Unbalanced Omega-6s leads to blood clot formation and increased risk of heart attack. The proper diet ratio should be 4 parts Omega-3s to 1 part Omega-6s. The American diet tends to have a ratio of 1 part Omega-3s to 20 parts Omega-6s a really bad ratio. Research about Omega-3s is ongoing and looks to have many other possible but not yet proven health benefits.
Food sources of Omega-3s are more readily absorbed (90%) over fish oil capsules (50%). DHA and EPA are found in cold-water fish such as salmon, mackerel, halibut, sardines, tuna, and herring. They provide about 1gm of Omega-3s in 3.5 ounces of fish. Fish do not synthesize the Omega-3s they obtain them from algae and plankton in their diet. ALA is found in flaxseed, soybeans, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, and some leafy greens.
A good diet is the best source of Omega-3s but a supplement seems smart and safe for most Americans, to get the recommended dose. Fish oil capsules contain DHA and EPA. This is the best supplement. ALA supplements convert poorly to the needed DHA and EPA. Algae oil capsules contain only DHA.
Dosing of fish oil supplements is based on the amount of EPA and DHA, not the amount of fish oil. The general recommendation for adults is one gram of Omega-3s daily. Those with high triglycerides or heart disease need 2-4 grams daily based on physician recommendation. Dietary supplements like fish oil capsules are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. It is important to buy a variety that has verification by the International Fish Oil Standards. This agency ensures that the amount of Omega-3s in the supplement is accurate and that it is not contaminated with mercury, dioxin, or PCB.
Fish oil capsules are likely safe for most people; side effects may include belching, bad breath, heartburn, nausea, diarrhea, rash, and nosebleeds. Taking with meals on using a time release capsule can decrease these side effects.
The data seems convincing that Omega-3 fatty acids are important to our health and that many people have a diet deficiency in these essential nutrients. Although dietary sources are preferable, fish oil capsules are a good option for those that don’t eat enough Omega-3 rich foods.

i’ve been applying salt water to my piercing twice a day but it doesn’t seem to heal. in fact the flesh around the piercing seem to be getting eaten away. the salt solution is so concentrated with salt i.e. lots and lots of salt in the water. i am doing that because i thougth that the bigger the ratio of salt to water the better and the faster the healing. now i am not sure if this is working. maybe i should dissolve less salt in the water. please help.

I had a massage yesterday and not only was it not a relaxing massage, I now have oil in my hair that after 6 washes is STILL THERE! The masseuse gave me a scalp massage and at the time didn’t think anything of it. Not until I had got home and showered did I see that I had a ton of the oil on my scalp/hair. Any ideas?

I am currently looking into going to massage school. I interviewed both Anthem and Everest Colleges. Everest is 20k and Anthem is 13k. Everest has a "spa" program that makes up for the additional fee, but Anthem teaches spa as well, just not in depth …
Both of the schools start February 1st and I can get financial aid for either. I just wanted to know if anyone out there has any thoughts on either of these schools. Thanks!

So I want to have be a nurse and have a massage therapy business on the side. I don’t want to spend more than a year doing my massage therapy course. I’ld like to do something in aromatherapy.

I’m quite confused as to which course I should choose. I think doing a diploma would be better than a certificate because I’ld get paid better, but there is such a wide range of courses that I’m confused.

Suppose it is known that a new treatment is successful in curing muscular pain in 55% of the cases. If it is tried on 6 patients, find the probability that fewer than 3 patients are cured.
