Steam Shower and Spa Resource

Doctor of... what? I presume...

    Some people know the exact nature of their doctor's specialty- which in general practice is a misnomer in and of itself- and some don't, and the majority of those who do and don't... don't care.  (smile, that was a joke, rooted soundly and sadly in truth.)  It would be more accurate to say, some people are familiar with the approach toward treating the human body which their doctors have, some don't- i think the same percentage of apathy would be found either way we look at this, which is what we're aiming to adjust.  I'm not an economist nor am I a statistics expert but, how you view your doctor's approach to you care, is important either way.  there are two main types which will be found in general practice or family practice and those are M.D. (Medical Doctor, or Doctor of Medicine- either way, I think the same thing regardless of the arrangement of the words) and D. O. (Doctor of Osteopathy.) 

     This says nothing of specialty doctors, as most likely you will first be channeled through one of these types of Medical professionals before being referred on to a specialist, leaving the general type scratching their heads and dog earing, highlighting, and underlining their old trusty PDR's (Physician's Desk Reference.)  I have a few myself.  They are updated, out dated and made obsolete faster than digital music technology and I am often not sure which one I am more familiar with; all I know for sure is that an "oops" with a digital music device most likely sends out far fewer ripples in the pond, and I doubt the tide ever spans the distance of the technological body of water. 

    I would have to believe most people seeking out refuge in our Steam Showers, Saunas, Whirl Pool Baths, and Hot tubs are most likely being advised to do so from the latter type of Doctor.  The doctor which is most concerned with the structure of the body, osteopathic- having to do with bones, bone structure and the manipulation of joints and muscles to relieve disorders and pain.  The D.O. (Doctor of Osteopathy) would have, at the genesis of the practice in the late 19th century, would have been known as an Osteopathist. 

     We are all familiar with the pops and cracks which occur inside the offices of Chiropractors and Osteopathists and some even cringe while simply thinking of the sound and subtly violent manipulative jerks.  However, the manipulation is necessary.  The integrity of the whole system which is your body is paramount to heath.  Believe it or not, the brutal yanking motions of Chiropractors and Doctor's of Osteopathy produce similar therapeutic results as those found in the relaxing effects of sitting in a Steam Shower, bathing in a Whirl Pool Bath, or sweating out your frustration and toxins during a 20 minute session in one of My Bath's FIR (Far Infrared) Saunas.  Muscles and joints, whether relaxed in a thermal and therapeutic Steam Shower, massaged gently with Infrared Rays, or yanked into submission/position by a chiropractor all produce the results of restoring the body's natural structure.

    Once the body is performing in its natural state it is economizing energy and it WILL reward you with all of those feel good chemicals that the brain sends out to say, "thank you for that Steam Shower..." "thank you for the Infrared Sauna..." "thank you for paying a bit of attention to me and my structure... here's a huge dose of ENDORPHINS!!!"  Please, feel free to abuse this chemical as you see fit.  Restore structure, abuse natural feel good chemicals and with the aid of the products like Steam showers and Saunas and other such products from My Bath, avoid the those violent Chiropractors and brutal Osteopathists...    

Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing... And in this Crevice!!!

    And in this Crevice, soap scum, bacteria, and everything and enything else we could not EVER imagine wishing to share a bath with... THE UNDISPUTED BATHRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOM fixture, Porcelain!!!!

(please don't cheer too much, the sonic vibrations could loosen the harmful toxins and wash them into your next bath tub session, or send them airborne in the form of Steam and then you'd ingest them... this is one essence which we're pretty sure does not fit into any section of Aroma Therapy)

     Here's the down low, and seriously down low, on a porous level, beacuse most people don't know why Bathroom staples, showers, sinks, and toilets should switch from porcelain to acrylic.  I already said why, in the previous sentence... Porcelain is Porous... any surface with a degree of porosity absorbs and holds anything which could sizeably be sucked into and nest inside their tiny hole-riddled surfaces.  Think of it as a gestation period during which the germs, soap scum, and whatever-else is inside the holes of porcelain is growing and resting in an undisturbed state of inevitable toxicity.

     Acrylic is a polymer which is 1) easier to clean, requires less scrubbing- barely any required actually - and 2) Impervious to being invaded by potentially harmful toxins as it is less porous.    

     Fear not, Dresden, Germany. Porcelain will still be your area of specialty, however we will restict you to your fine dining and china wear.  We wish to abolish porcelain from the bathrooms of all of the people in the my bath family...      

Periodic Limb Movement Syndrome

          PLMS!  Are you exctited at be introduced to a new acronym?  If it's new, you should be, unless it actually effects you.  Otherwise I hope you already sought some form of therapy for this disruptful sleep syndrome, especially if you sleep with a partner.  You might have taken a hint if the spouse, girfriend, boyfriend, or sleep partner donned soccer shin pads each night before slumber.  STOP KICKING the people you love... just kidding, chances are you're not even aware of your combative transgressions. 

         They occur repetitively, and are jerking and spasming of the legs; it can be as often as every few seconds, or as spread out as minutes apart.  This is a syndrome which occurs during NREM (Non Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, or the dreamless sleep during which we are both consciously and unconsciously moving toward that idealic world where our ever whim is catered to.  We'll explore light therapy, hydrotherapy, FIR and many other treatment options gained through the My Bath line of luxury bath products.   

         

         

FIR

    FIR (Far Infrared) technology and therapies draw on infrared wavelengths which occur just below the detectable visibility of the human eye.  They are safe. They are Safe.  And... (I love elipsis) did I mention they are safe.  More than safe they penetrated skin and manipulate muscle tissues.  Before you recoil at the idea of the penetration of your skin by anything I want you to remember that you may further hydration by simply soaking in a shower, hot tub, or whirlpool bath... how, you ask?  Simple, your epidermis is porous, hench the pores which are clogged and sometimes cause skin problems.  Through these porous layers of skin we already absorb and or are invaded by foreign matter at all times.  When we speak of FIR we are speaking of just such an element with one very interesting and exploitably salubrious difference... the Infrared waves are already ubiquitous in our environments, our skin imbibes them eagerly.  What our techonolgy is doing is harnessing and focusing them to a contained area. 

Halt word!!! State your purpose, meaning, and intent...

      We are going to introduce, invent, and rely on words to seemlessly amalgamate into a formidable and intelligent group of healthy and extremely clean human beings.  Essentially we all need to speak, write, sign, and most importantly understand the same language, have the same meanings, and understand the exact manner in which our verbage will be used.  So, each day I will be introducing new words dealing with biology, kinetics, hydrokinetics, hydrology, hydrotherapy, and many other fields of interst ending in "ys" and "ology."  So, as I do everyday, I welcome you into my mindset and my goals and say, here we go together... on the endless adventure of self education.
