Surviving Allergy Season in Greenville, SC — How MLD, Reflexology and Aromatherapy Can Help
Surviving Allergy Season in Greenville, SC — How MLD, Reflexology and Aromatherapy Can Help

If you live in Greenville, South Carolina, you already know the drill. One morning in late February or early March you walk outside into what feels like the most gorgeous morning of the year — soft light, birds absolutely losing their minds with joy, the first pink blooms on the cherry trees — and then you notice it.

Researchers believe nettle works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins and histamines — the inflammatory compounds responsible for that miserable itchy-eye, runny-nose response to pollen.

What Can A Buccal Massage Do For Me?

So you've heard about buccal massage. Maybe a friend mentioned it. Maybe you fell down a wellness rabbit hole at midnight. Maybe you read my earlier post on how to prepare for your first session and now you're thinking — okay, but what's actually in it for me? Fair question. And it deserves a real answer. Buccal massage is having a moment right now, and I say that as someone who was practicing it long before it started trending. Suspected fans include Princess Kate, Meghan Markle, and Jennifer Lopez Marie Claire — which, yes, absolutely gets people's attention.
