BAMBOO BLOCKS for FASCIA DECOMPRESSION (BLOCK THERAPY)
Block Therapy is one of the most intriguing self-care methods I’ve ever come across. In Block Therapy, you lie on a therapeutic tool called the Block Buddy for at least three minutes in various positions in order to decompress your fascia adhesions throughout your body. Fascia is a tissue netting all over our body, and it often becomes frozen and rigid, causing a whole number of health problems. Block Therapy has been successfully used for treating pain, achieving a younger-looking complexion, or even for decreasing cellulite.
The Block Buddy is made from bamboo, because, unlike artificial materials like foam or plastic, it shares a similar density to our bones. Using gravity and body weight, the Block Buddy is able to sink deeply into the tissue and address the root of your issues – such as chronic pain, inability to lose weight, premature aging etc.
INCREASED OXYGEN ABSORPTION
The pressure of this Bamboo brick brings increased blood and oxygen into the area, warming the connective tissue and “melting” fascia adhesions and knots. You need to breathe diaphramatically while using this tool.
When you practice diaphragmatic breathing, you increase oxygen absorption by up to 6 times the amount compared to breathing through the muscles of the upper chest. The combination of increased oxygen, the freeing of fascia adhesions, correct posture and alignment form the basis of Block Therapy.
I highly recommend watching the following testimonial video by the founder of Block Therapy (also referred to as Fluid Isometrics), Deanna Hansen.

STAINLESS STEEL SPOON FOR GROUNDING
Staying grounded is crucial for vibrant health. Tracing a stainless steel spoon along the bottom of the feet helps with grounding – i.e. connecting energetically with the nourishing energies of the Earth.
The Earth’s polarity is North, the feet’s polarity is south, and this enables our connection with the Earth. We can receive Earth’s electromagnetic energy and feel better, think better and sleep better – thanks to being grounded. I have a spoon by the side of my bed and ‘spoon’ my feet before sleep. I also love rubbing my feet with the spoon after a long drive.
This package also contains a fork, which is great for ‘raking’ the top of the feet – another beneficial technique that helps with opening the gaits of the feet (or hands!), thus discharging excess energy. I recommend this to everyone who suffers from hand or foot pain.
Note: Make sure your spoon is not silver. It should be stainless steel, in order to influence your energies. You can test it by holding a magnet against it and see if it sticks, which it should.

MAGNETIC RINGS FOR PAIN RELIEF
These ceramic magnetic rings have been used by many energy medicine practitioners. Although sold as a science toy for children, (when placed on a stick, they create a lovely floating effect thanks to their magnetic fields) they can also be effectively used for pain relief therapy.
Just tape one of the magnets over the painful muscle – but make sure the magnet is placed North side down. This is very important. You can test this by putting the magnet near a compass. The North side of the magnet should attract the south part of the compass’ needle, which is usually marked white. (The South side of the magnet will attract the north part of the needle, which is usually marked red.)

- Width: 5 mm

Sleep Mask with 3D Molded Cups
When buying a sleepmask, it is advised to consider the following: The sleep mask should be shaped so that it creates a hollow space between the material and your eyes, so that your eyeballs are free to move. This is especially important during the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) phase.
This eye mask has been ergonomically designed to fit these criteria. No-pressure eye -ups allow your eyes to open and shut freely. The mask fits the nose contour better than the standard sleep masks, creating a fully light-blocking feature and helping you get a deep, restorative sleep.

Thank you for sharing this very useful page, I enjoyed going through the products that can boost our wellbeing. What caught my interest in particular was the Hangsun hand-held massager. It was interesting to learn about the percussive function – I didn’t know the difference between the vibrations and the percussions, but now it’s all much clearer to me. Percussion can provide a deeper and more effective massage. I may give it a try! Thanks again for your inspirational page.
Thanks a lot, Kimberly, I’m glad you enjoyed learning about all these different wellbeing gadgets! Do give the Hangsun percussive massager a try, I bet you’ll feel incredibly relaxed and rejuvenated after just a few minutes of using it. If someone can hold the machine on your back while you are lying on your belly, it would give you a really great massage. Just tell your partner or friend to slowly go up and down your back (with your spine in the middle, between the nodes. He/she has to be careful and try to avoid hitting the spine especially if the machine is on a high setting. But if it’s used properly you’ll have a great experience and this kind of massage will also help get rid of toxins from your body, which will prevent you from getting ill.
Thank you for your suggestions here. I’ve had a good look through all the products and they all seem a good choice of quality, tried and tested products. One of them which has caught my attention is the HANGSUN HANDHELD PERCUSSION MASSAGER which I have heard of before and I’m considering getting it for myself. Thanks for creating this page – I may well use it as a reference for future gifts!
Hello Nath lovely to hear from you and thanks for your comment. I have indeed enjoyed putting this page together because I have been using all of the listed products myself, and therefore I can recommend them all. The Hangsun massager is great, you can get an amazing massage for free every day and treat your friends and family as well. My husband loves it – it’s so relaxing and can ease a lot of pain – it really is such a nice thing you can do for some you care for. Cheers!
I really liked going through this page and checking out the products. I also like the fact that you link your products to corresponding articles so one can see the products in context, and check the reviews for some of them. Very inspiring! Cheers.
Hi Justin, I’m glad you like this page. It’s my collection of products that I have personally benefited from and would therefore recommend to others. I hope you’ll find some of them (or the associated articles) useful! Take care and thanks for your comment.
Hi Lucie, thanks for putting together this page which I’ve found very interesting. I’m really into health and wellbeing so it’s a good thing I stumbled on your page. There’s quite a lot to chose from and I like the fact that you link the products to specific articles or reviews. I am considering getting a water filter so the one you recommend by Nikken is definitely on my list. I will keep an eye out for more articles on your site, thanks!
Hi Virlo, Thank you for getting in touch, and I’m glad you like the page about the health products! These have all been tried and tested by me and I’m happy I can recommend them. As for the Nikken water filter, has been a gamechanger for me. I used to drink tap water but when I compared it to water filtered through this system then I realised how hard and full of chlorine it tasted. The Nikken filtered water tastes lovely and it has a very soft quality about it. Not to mention all the health benefits, the minerals, and the alkaline character of the water. I highly recommend it. Thanks again for your nice words!
Hi Lucie … a very interesting set of health wellbeing products. I am especially interested in acupressure software. How well does it work on the iPhone, please? Are illustrations on the iPhone screen large enough to be clear? Also, I am interested to learn how effective magnetic products are? Please send me an email with any pointers.
Write to Richard, Thank you for your comment!
Regarding the ‘Points’ acupuncture software, I can well recommend the iPhone version, because I have it myself and am very satisfied with it. I have written quite a detailed review, where you will be able to see screenshots of the app in use directly from my iPhone, which will show you how it works from a mobile. (In fact, all images in that review are screenshots from my iPhone 🙂
https://naturegrooves.com/points-review-acupuncture-points-and-charts
As for your question of whether the illustrations on the iPhone screen are large enough: In my opinion, they are, and one can still enlarge them if needed.
Regarding the effectiveness of magnetic products: They tend to work quite well for pain relief. It may take some time for you to notice, but it’s always worth experimenting.
My husband has tendonitis in his wrist and whenever he tapes a magnet on the area, he says he feels considerable relief. I have good experience with using magnets on my lower back.
It is important to use the correct side (e.g. south-seeking North side of the magnet for pain relief; it will draw the pain towards it. The south side disperses and amplifies, and is used for healing broken bones, for example)
Also, if you use a magnetically sensitive surgical implant, or an electronic medical device (e.g. a pacemaker), or have a magnetically sensitive surgical implant, you shouldn’t use magnets.
I’ve written a bit more about this in my post ‘How to Relieve Chronic Back Pain’.
There are many magnetic products on the market, from the small magnets that I’ve listed on that Health & Wellbeing products page, to more sophisticated products, for example by the Japanese company Nikken. (I use their water filter, listed as the first item on this page)
But as these tend to be quite costly, if you are completely new to magnets, I would just get the small magnets from Amazon, that I’m listing on this page.
The good thing about these is that you can tape them anywhere you like.
Good luck with experimenting with magnets, and trying out the POINTS app, and thanks again for your comment!
