CRAMP AND POOR CIRCULATION
By Peter Rose
Cramp, that odd sensation generally known as "pins and needles", coldness in fingers and toes and numbness in localized areas are all symptoms of poor circulation. A medical check up, to ensure that this poor circulation is not due to a problem with the heart or blood vessels, is the first step. This is very important in all cases but particularly when there is a sudden numbness in a localized area.
Stress is often the root cause of poor circulation but poor circulation can also be a family, i.e. inherited, problem. Good levels of exercise are important and the use of generous amounts of root ginger and garlic in the diet will be beneficial in the long term.
POOR CIRCULATION
If you suffer from poor circulation then take extra care when you are cold. Do not try to do sudden movements, particularly when under load, (that is when the muscles are likely to be over-stretched or strained) in any way. If the circulation is poor, it becomes even more important to ensure the quality of the blood and its ability to carry oxygen and nutrients is the best that can be achieved. This is where magnets, diet and exercise come in.
Poor circulation results in low energy levels and in muscles that are weak and painful. Yoga helps with releasing tense and restricted joints and muscles, and so frees up the circulation.
Magnetic Insoles are particularly effective as they have built in magnets, available from Magnetic Therapy Ltd, these can be used to improve poor circulation and sluggish blood flow. Magnets, placed to encircle a limb between the area most affected and the heart, improve blood flow and so reduce the effects of poor circulation.
In order to promote Magnetic therapy and expand the number of people with knowledge to help others there are now "On Line" Courses in magnetic therapy. These are now available through Magnetic Therapy Ltd or you could look at web site www.petermagneticcourses.com The courses are designed to provide sufficient anatomy and physiology to ensure the magnets are used to the best advantage. (Specialist course are available for people who already have qualifications in these)
