1) LOMI LOMI – HAWAIIAN MASSAGE FOR WHOLE BODY HEALING
by Cathy Wong, ND

Lomi lomi (also referred to as "lomilomi") is a type of massage long practiced in Hawaiian medicine. An ancient healing modality in Hawaii, it's rooted in huna (a Hawaiian philosophy centered on achieving harmony in mind, body, and spirit). Along with improving circulation and promoting relaxation, lomi lomi is said to provide many spiritual and emotional benefits (including relief of fear, anxiety, and other negative emotions).

One of the goals of lomi lomi massage is to remove blockages in the body's natural flow of energy. As in traditional Chinese medicine, energy blockages are thought to contribute to problems in physical, emotional, and mental health.

What Does Lomi Lomi Involve?

Typically beginning with a prayer, lomi lomi is a spiritually based form of massage. Achieving a greater connection with the spiritual world is thought to be one of the central goals of lomi lomi. Although practitioners use a variety of techniques and tailor each treatment to the needs of the client, this form of massage typically involves rhythmic, flowing movements. In some cases, lomi lomi entails the use of meditation, breathing exercises, and healing through herbal remedies.

Benefits of Lomi Lomi

While research on the health effects of lomi lomi is currently lacking, a great deal of scientific studies have shown that massage therapy may offer a variety of benefits. For example, there's some evidence that massage therapy may help improve range of motion and reduce pain in people with low back pain and sciatica. In addition, some studies indicate that undergoing massage on a regular basis may help keep blood pressure in check, enhance functioning in people with arthritis, and ease pain in people prone to tension headaches. Massage may also be beneficial to people with carpal tunnel syndrome, as well as those with mental-health issues such as depression and anxiety.

Caveats

Certain individuals need to take caution when undergoing massage. For example, there's some concern that vigorous or intense massage may be harmful to people with conditions such as cancer or bleeding disorders. If you're considering the use of lomi lomi (or any other type of massage therapy) in treatment of a chronic health problem, make sure to consult your physician first.

Alternatives to Lomi Lomi

There are many forms of massage therapy that may help enhance your health and aid in the treatment of certain health problems. For instance, deep tissue massage appears to help treat chronic pain conditions such as low back pain. Thai massage, meanwhile, may help promote stroke recovery. And aromatherapy massage shows promise in the treatment of such issues as anxiety and depression. Learn more about the 10 most popular types of massage therapy.

Where to Find It

While traditional lomi lomi is not widely practiced, a number of spas offer massage treatments that incorporate some elements of lomi lomi (including the use of hot stones). Traditional lomi lomi is generally found in private practices rather than in a spa setting.

2) HEALTH BENEFITS IF CHICORY ROOT
by Dr. Edward Group DC, NP, DACBN, DCBCN, DABFM

Chicory root has a long history of providing support to liver problems. Ancient Romans used the herb to help cleanse the blood. Egyptians were known to consume chicory root in large amounts to help purify the liver and the blood. It’s popular today as a caffeine free replacement for coffee- you may have tried it if you’ve visited New Orleans.

Digestive Support

Chicory may provide direct functional support to the digestive reactions in the body. First of all, chicory root increases the flow of bile, which supports digestion. Because extra bile helps break down fats, chicory root may help optimize blood composition and is worth consideration by anyone seeking to achieve optimal liver and gallbladder health.

Secondly, organic chicory root contains inulin, a soluble fiber that feeds digestive flora in the intestines. Many plants contain inulin, but chicory root has the highest concentration. Nourishing the healthy flora in the intestines enhances digestion. Furthermore, since inulin content is not digestible, the lack of glucose can help promote optimal blood sugar levels while also increasing stool bulk and consistency to help eliminate toxins efficiently.

Antioxidant Activity

Many herbs are high in antioxidants, which, in plants, often come in the form of compounds called phenolics. Chicory is a rich source of these and the protective effects polyphenols on the cardiovascular system is widely acknowledged. Chicory coffee has repeatedly been assessed for resistance to redness due to its phenolics and caffeic acid content. Adding chicory root to the diet of lab rats significantly increased antioxidant levels in the blood. Researchers believe the benefit of dietary supplementation with chicory is because of its polyphenolic (antioxidant) compounds.

Against Harmful Organisms

Having shown potent activity, chicory root extract has generated interest for potential role against harmful organisms. An Italian study found chicory root extract to have fungal cleansing qualities in certain situations. Chicory root is toxic to strains of Salmonella at high amounts and a 28-day rat study found no side effects from large servings of chicory root extract.

Relation to the Liver

In addition to its beneficial antioxidant effect, chicory root provides functional support to the liver. The Zoology Department at Mansoura University in Egypt concluded chicory has a promising role worth considering for halting oxidative stress and liver injury in some situations.
