February is heart month!


It's heart month!

In February, the American Heart Association steps up its educational efforts communicating the seriousness of heart disease and its prevention.

Relaxation and heart health

A range of techniques including massage, relaxing music, guided relaxation and yoga have shown promising results in lowering blood pressure and heart rate -- factors that have a positive effect on heart health. Recent research indicates that relaxation techniques can reduce strain on the heart.

One study from Duke University followed cardiac patients over a period of years. The program included education on stress and specific techniques to relax the body and mind. Participants in the program showed a significant reduction in heart attacks. In another study, at Cedars Sinai Medical Center, yoga and meditation significantly reduced the impact of cardiac disease on patients.


Taking charge


Many people feel victimized by stress. But relaxation can reverse the ill effects of stress by helping you learn to respond differently.


The key is to practice relaxing regularly. If you take time during your workday for a 15-minute massage, a lunchtime yoga class, or simply breathing slowly and deeply for several minutes, you'll let go of stress buildup and start to relax. If you make this a regular habit, you can retrain your mind to stay balanced in the face of stress.


So this month get an extra massage, take a yoga class every single week, or start that meditation practice again. Your heart will thank you!

Introducing...

Thai Herbal Compress Therapy


We are pleased to announce our newest modality, Thai Herbal Compress (also known as Thai Herbal Ball Therapy) Straight from traditional Thai medicine, this celebrated therapy incorporates the use of a steamed, herb-filled cotton compress with the more familiar strokes of our Swedish massage.

Our compress is filled with various medicinal herbs formulated from the time-honored recipe of the Wat Po temple in Bangkok. It's great for relaxing tight muscles, relieving joint pain and encouraging blood circulation. The intoxicating scent of the herbal mixture along with the warmth of the compress is sure to leave you feeling balanced.

After your session, take your Thai herbal compress home!
The compress can be used 3-4 more times after your visit to Mellow!

Recommended at-home uses:

• Wet herbal compress and hang it in the shower. Enjoy the aromatic therapeutic effects (helps to open up the sinuses!)
• Soak herbal compress in a medium size pot of water for 10 minutes. Next, steam for 10 more minutes. Apply compress to sore muscles to relieve pain and tightness.

Please store your compress in the refrigerator when not in use.

Caution: This herbal compress should not be used on pregnant women, people with high blood pressure, and those who are sensitive to extreme heat.
