I work in a space that has 4 other independent massage therapists and a psychotherapist. Every clover that walks in even if smudging and cleansing space helpers are not their thing.

I hope you enjoy these picks I have been using for years.

For the most part, I can honestly say that I'm in pretty decent shape for an old woman over 60. As a matter-of-fact, I've been taking Balance of Nature for over a year and I feel fantastic when I don't forget to take my pills for the day. Oddly enough, now that I'm 67, I sometimes feel better than I did when I first hit my 60's. At the time, I was experiencing more of the joint pain that I only occasionally feel nowadays. Maybe I'm so used to it, I don't really know it's there anymore. Whatever the case, I'm glad I only have my “old folks” aches and pains on an occasional basis. And THANK GOD, the carpal tunnel syndrome I used to suffer from, doesn't still bother me. The following list contains some of the many ways I used to combat the joint pain I felt in various parts of my body. I also share the item I sincerely believe helped to all but cure my carpal tunnel when I was in my 40's, even though like everything else, the pain returned periodically, when I was in my early 60's. These items can help people who aren't dealing with joint conditions that require them to be under a doctor's care. If that's the case, any medication or medical treatments and remedies should be approved by your physician.
