Natural Immune-Boosters for Fall
5 Ways to Boost Your Immune System, Naturally:
1) Give your skin a light, gentle scrub. A loofah in the shower is a good way to invigorate. Include body-brushing (garshana) or exfoliating scrubs from a day spa visit.
2) Bounce: get on a mini-trampoline for 5-10 minutes. Rhythmic, total-body movement gives the lymph system a flush.
3) Get Cupped! Cupping therapy is the most effective manual therapy for lymphatic drainage.
4) Exercise. Aerobic or strength-training activities get muscles to stimulate lymph flow. Also, exercise reduces stress and fights disease!
5) Get a massage. Massage therapy boosts immunity by moving lymph, and by reducing stress.
This week Only, at Balanced Boulder Massage & Cupping:
* Immune-Booster Cupping for ONLY $29! (reg. $49)
Mention this article and ALSO get:
An Autumn-Spice Aromatherapy Steamer & a light, relaxing Dry-Brushing...both FREE!

Why Cupping Therapy is So Relaxing!
Have you felt the relaxing effects of Cupping Therapy?
Why is cupping so relaxing? The reasons for your sedation are in its physical effects and the application by the cupping therapist.
First, let's look at cupping therapy's physiological benefits:
- Cupping boosts lymph flow. The boost to your immune system is relaxing. A fresh flush of lymph (fluid) to the tissues is calming to a stressed system. This is especially true for those who have autoimmune disorders, infections, injuries, or high mental stress levels.
- Cupping boosts circulation. Delivering fresh oxygen and blood cells to tissues can be invigorating, and bring a calming "sigh of relief". Over-worked muscles, stagnant or "stuck" chi, and stressed organs appreciate the improved circulation. They can relax!
And next, your cupping therapist's touch can enhance your relaxation:
- Stationary cupping has a swaddling effect. When cups are applied, then left on the skin to "brew" and heal, it can be sedating.
- Cups may be applied massage-style. After applying cups with a light vacuum, your therapist may move the cups around like a massage. This is called gliding, dynamic, or massage cupping. Like massage therapy, this style calms your nervous system as it relaxes the body.
You don't need any reasons to get relaxed, do you? But now, when you get cupped, you understand why cupping is so relaxing!
Call Nina at BBMC, 970-948-0179, to schedule your relaxing treatment!

Cupping marks, Cupping benefits: Show off your healing!
Cupping therapy has many health benefits, including:
The marks are usually circular, and they show up during the cupping session where cups are applied to the skin. They can last for several days, up to 2 weeks. They are also called gua sa marks (Eastern medicine), or ecchymoses (Western medicine), and they result from blood being drawn through the tissues by the cup suction.
As the suction (from the cups) decompresses, pathways are opened. Blood, lymph and other fluids are flushed through areas of stagnation. Your tissues can be stagnant or ischemic (lacking blood-flow)
due to:
Cupping is an excellent way to restore tissues to healthier states; i.e., restoring "qi".
What do the marks mean?
The marks tell us about the stagnation in an area; the need for blood-flow and detoxification. As you can see in the picture above, the shoulder area is getting slightly pink under the cups. And there are circles where the cups have been. This client might have slouched posture, a previous shoulder or back injury, or repetitive stress from daily activities. (The marks in this picture are not unusually dark, or abnormal, which would indicate a medical condition present).
If you have certain medical conditions, like an autoimmune disorder or poor circultion or toxicity, then your marks may be darker. They also might fade more slowly.
Unlike bruises, cupping marks fade gradually. Because they are not bruises, they do not change colors in phases. But like any therapy, it's important to tell your therapist if they are suctioned much too tightly! Causing dark marks is not the goal of cupping therapy.
As you receive continued cupping to an area, your marks will likely be lighter in color. They should also fade sooner. If you wait too long between cupping sessions, and you subject your body to the same stresses, cup marks might not be lighter-colored.
What if no marks appear?
Then, perhaps your tissues are super-healthy and you have received cupping on a regular basis.
Or your therapist chose to use gentle suction, which is appropriate in many cases.
Or the cups were not applied for long.
At Balanced Boulder Massage & Cupping, Nina applies cups with no-more-than "comfortably strong" suction. A health questionaire, before your 1st treatment, helps your therapist guide your treatment so that it is healing for you but never uncomfortable.
EMBRACE cupping marks, and RECEIVE an ancient therapy that will leave you feeling blissfully healthier!
- Relaxes tense muscles
- Improves circulation
- Relieves pain naturally
- Flushes stagnant tissues with blood and oxygen
- Detoxifies, Cleanses
- Immune-boosting
- De-stressing
- Restores, balances qi

Lyons Flood Relief: Massage and Cupping for Weary Souls
Flood tales, Massage & Cupping, and continuing to help.
In September 2013, several Colorado communities suffered major devastation when flash floods ripped through small mountain towns and canyons. The towns of Lyons, Salina, Jamestown, and Estes Park are all still suffering. Many have lost their homes, while others were without electricity or running water for weeks or longer. Boulder and Fort Collins have areas devastated, too. Other out-of-town communities still struggle, such as Coal Creek Canyon.
"We're just glad to be alive" and "We still have each other" are common sentiments. Mountainfolk are hearty-hardy people who stick together. Every summer along the Front Range, wildfires seem to take another town. But no one was prepared for the floods. Some were ripped out of their homes in mudslides, while others had to wait to be rescued from their rooftops by the National Guard. Roads crumbled as their foundations were washed away, leaving residents stranded.
Now that the dust has settled...Wait, the dust hasn't settled. Heavy, stinky mud has settled. Life hasn't returned to normal for hundreds whose homes were flooded. In addition to the mess left in the wake, the seasonal weather reminds us that there is a limited amount of time to get one's home in habitable shape before the snow starts flying. So, the urgency to have a roof over one's head adds more stress.
The Psychological Stress of Recovery.
Most people choose to live in Colorado out of a respect and reverence for Mother Nature. We love the outdoors, the seasons, and the lifestyle that nature-worship affords. But right now, it's hard not to feel somehow betrayed by Mother Nature. How could such an idyllic life get swept away so quickly?
And to know that our own eco-ego ways (global warming, i.e.) are contributing to such epic spankings...well, that's a guilt, plus lifestyle overhaul, that lurks like the new elephant in the room.
The emotional and psychological stress zaps many from being able to perform the rebuilding tasks at hand. Feeling overwhelmed is common. It stops folks in their tracks, unable to tackle the pressing matters.
Dealing with insurance agencies adds to the stress. When someone says "At least they had insurance", I know that their troubles are not spared. Despite having flood coverage, many are losing the battles in seemingly cut-and-dry cases.
The Physical Stress of Recovery.
The water was an immediate challenge, when the floods arrived. But the clean-up bears physical burdens that just won't wash away.
In the recovery, flood survivors rebuild homes and shovel mud. The mud is deep and seemingly bottomless. It's heavy, and shoveling builds strong backs. So, if there was time for emotional recovery, it was obscured by the urgent physical loads to rebuild lives.
Many flood evacuees returned home to mold. Cleaning mold that is deep in walls is a difficult task that most Coloradans can't imagine. Mold...in Colorado? It's a dry state, but floods and the debris they carry brought enough water to create big-time mold. And mold spores take to the air, so many survivors struggle with respiratory problems.
Sleep has also been affected. Many flood survivors describe sleep patterns that reflect the timing of the flood events. The psychological and physical consequences of the flood have made "normal" sleep a rare occurrence for flood evacuees. Then, their lack of good-quality-rest affects everything else they do.
Massage and Cupping Therapies, with Balanced Boulder Massage & Cupping.
I have been inspired as I hear the stories of flood evacuees. I have been offering free massage therapy and cupping treatments to flood evacuees and volunteers for almost 3 months now (in my Boulder office). The tales have been tragic, stories that no one wants to tell. But the strength of communities, volunteers, and rebirthds have been uplifting! It fills me up to hear how they have been "shaking off the dust" and drying the tears.
Many flood evacuees have been working around-the-clock to restore their homes before snow-storms and winter. But when they have time to settle, they are still welcome to come to me for free treatments! My care continues, and I understand the time-crunch under which they have been.
Massage therapy's benefits include:
* Stress Relief
* Alleviate Pain & Tension
* Improve Sleep
Cupping therapy's benefits include:
* Detoxification
* Better Breathing
* More oxygen to tissues
How YOU can help.
As we give thanks during the holidays, we can express our gratitude by donating time, sweat, money and fun. You can donate to organizations (local and nation-wide) like the Lyons Musicians Relief Fund, the Lyons Community Fund, and the American Red Cross.
You can attend fund-raising events like "Wake of the Flood" concerts, too. Buy your holiday gifts at silent auctions that benefit flood survivors. And you can sweat it out and help with digging, mud-slinging, and rebuilding efforts.
This fall and winter, please keep in mind that many of your neighbors- Coloradans, fellow Americans- are still in great need due to the floods. The damage was deep and intense, and the recovery is ongoing.
Thank You!

Ease Knots and Tension in Soft Tissue with Cupping & MFR
What are those tension knots I get in my back and shoulders? How do I get rid of them?
Knots you feel due to tension are adhesions in your soft tissue. They are most likely in your fascia, or connective tissue, and in your muscles. These knots occur when your fascia becomes "glued down" from repetitive use or lack-of-use. Your fascia is like a giant spider web, connecting every spot in your body with every other spot.
Like glue that dries, or hardens, your fascia and soft tissue get glued tight. The tissue, itself, gets adhesions and restrictions that restrict movement and blood flow.
When you get those knots, your tissues aren't getting enough movement and circulation. Essentially, the smooth flow of chi has become blocked.
To relieve adhesions and restrictions ("snags" and "knots"), we can use cupping to perform a technique called Myofascial Release, or MFR. Watch this video about cupping and myofascial release to learn more:
For more about the piezoelectric effect, see the last post and its diagrams. In essence, your tissues harden with crystallization. Sustained pressue, held for several minutes at a time, induces the piezoelectric effect. Tissues are returned to normal, instead of staying hard and "crunchy".
Stationary cupping can be used as a form of MFR to return your body to a healthy state!

New Balanced Boulder Massage & Cupping office is blooming
Happy Summer!
We made it! My favorite season in Colorado: summer. Wildflowers are blooming at all altitudes, creating a colorful palette for all to enjoy.
And why just let the flowers have all the fun? My business is blooming, too!
Balanced Boulder Massage & Cupping has moved into a new office, conveniently located near 30th and Valmont in the Centennial Creek offices.
You, my client, enjoy a waiting area that immediately soothes. During your treatment, your therapist is completely focused on you. And while I focus on giving each client the very best treatment possible for their needs, my office slowly transforms and blooms.
Upon each return visit this summer, you will notice slight "blooms" around the office. Essential equipment is in place, but those extra touches are what make each treatment memorable.
A variety of all-natural oils is available to complement your massage and cupping with aromatherapy. (Or use no aroma essence and tune your senses inward).
The music library contains relaxing tones, ranging from spiritual Native American flute to dreamy Celtic harp to the synchrony of a July frog pond.
To help you bloom and thrive, I will be adding plants (including some which will be used in treatments for their medicinal properties), and a few more decoratives.
To help clients feel their best, while achieving their health and fitness goals, I will offer special incentives. Everyone should be able to afford regular massage & cupping, to fit it into your wellness plan.
Despite all the new around you, you can feel confident that my highly-skilled hands, with 12 years experience as a massage therapist, will soothe your tension.
Like a new summer wildflower, I hope that you'll grow and thrive this summer with services from Balanced Boulder Massage & Cupping!
Wishing you an amazing summer,
Nina Dropcho
