CHANGING seasons often coincide with the onset of aches and pains, sometimes for no obvious reason. I recall my late grandmother saying ‘cold weather is coming’ because her swollen knuckles had become more troublesome.

I thought of her this week while reading about National Arthritis Week (October 7-13) as we head into Autumn and cooler weather. Managing symptoms includes gentle exercise such as swimming or stretching to help keep muscles and joints supple and mobile.

Some of my own clients also book regular Bowen therapy sessions to help with movement. In one case a client with chronic rheumatoid arthritis was able to reduce her medication.

An estimated 10m people in the UK suffer from arthritic conditions although joint pain can come in many forms and does not always signify arthritis… bunions, for example, or a sporting injury causing swelling or bruising. In extreme cases, post-operative rehabilitation can be slow due to painful swollen joints.

Bathing in Bexters crystals, or soaking hands/feet, can ease some of those aches and pains; using the crystals with our purpose-designed applicator wrap helps reduce swelling enabling quicker recovery from injury or surgery. Bowtech Ease, our award-winning Ayurvedic aromatherapy oil blend, has also been shown to relieve painful inflamed joints as well as the symptoms of hay fever and other everyday ailments.
