The Reality Reports

Stress affects millions of people every day. Work, money problems, lack of sleep, and busy schedules can all make people feel tense and overwhelmed. While there is no single cure for stress, some simple habits may help people feel calmer. One surprising example is the orange. Research has shown that the smell and taste of oranges may help reduce stress and anxiety. While the claim that oranges reduce stress by 70% or more may not apply to every person, studies do suggest that citrus scents can have a powerful calming effect on the brain and body.

What Makes A Thai Massage Different From Other Types: Thai massages stands apart from Swedish or deep tissue massages because it combines stretching, pressure point work, and assisted yoga poses.  Instead of lying still on a table, you remain clothed in loose, comfortable clothing while a trained therapist guides your body through various positions.  This 2,500-year-old practice originated in Thailand and draws from Indian Ayurvedic medicine, Chinese traditional medicine, and Buddhist spiritual practices.
