IN THIS MONTH'S ISSUE...

NOVEMBER 17th is the
GREAT AMERICAN SMOKEOUT

Quit Smoking and Win Back Control Of Your Life

Are you, a friend or a loved one trying to quit smoking? Now is a great time as November 17th is the American Cancer Society's Great American Smokeout®. Visit the American Cancer Society's Website to find out more about this annual event geared toward helping hou breathe clean, fresh air for one day or for a lifetime.

According to the Touch Research Institute, massage therapy has been shown to reduce anxiety and stress hormones and improve mood.

Massage therapy can help you in your endeavor to become a non-smoker by:

  • Lowering your blood pressure and initiating the relaxation response thereby keeping you calm
  • Encouraging deep, full breaths
  • Reducing cravings with the use of hand and ear massage (you can even do this yourself when you have a craving... see below!)

Bodymind Massage Therapy is proud to introduce a special SMOKING CESSATION MASSAGE
for those who are trying to quit or to stay smoke-free. It includes special attention to the ears, hands and upper body with instruction on how you can do self-massage to rid yourself of those unwanted cravings.

For more information on this special program or to make an appointment, please call Helen Gutfreund, LMT of Bodymind Massage Therapy at 845-255-3228.
