Having serious issues with arthritic pain in my hands made me consider this as an option for treatment. I mean, after all, how could I continue to bring you this news you can use every month – if my hands were not able to type? 🙂 More recently, I discovered an article on the WebMD blog – a source I often use for research. So once again, I am sharing this health information for your use and discretion as to whether it will work for you.
This is “News You Can Use” — and is provided to be an information resource of ideas that assist you to complement your “wellness” and “well-being” regimens to reduce stress, guide you in sustainability choices, and healthful living and is not a replacement to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition or disease. As always, I suggest you seek out the help of a trained professional for help with your specific situation.
