There are metals that our body cannot tolerate yet even today we continue to be exposed to these. Aluminum is one of these.

When I was a child lead poisoning was just coming to our awareness. The lead pipes and paints in homes, schools, and businesses was creating health issues for those exposed to it.

Craniosacral massage uses the theory that if harmful effects of stress are removed from our central nervous system through the stimulation of our cranio-sacral system then the body itself can relax and be therefore more able to heal itself of whatever it is that ails it.

Our bodies contain many systems which when working properly, insure our continued good health. Our cardiovascular system, respiratory system and nervous system are just a few of these various silent workings within our bodies.
