A nail salon near here offers more than just nail services; they also offer massages. What are your thoughts on paying for a massage at a nail salon? Do you think they know what they're doing? Do you think the quality of the massage would be just as good as if you'd gone to a certified massage...

Does anyone else here get canker sores or ulcers in their mouth when they are sick? They only seem to plague me right before a cold comes on, or when I am dealing with some other type of illness. This go round, they hit right after I sustained a puncture wound and started taking antibiotics for...

I stumped my toe last week so bad that the nail has mostly pulled away from the toe. Now it's black and bruised (the nail, not the toe) and I was wondering how I should treat it. Is there anything I can do or do I just have to let it grow out?

I was browsing the Men's Health website earlier and came across this article. It talks about testing your abdominal fitness with the 60-second V-Up challenge. After detailing how to perform a V-Up, you are challenged to do as many as possible in 60 seconds. One of the pro athletes that accepted...

I was watching Dr. Oz online recently and came across a three-part series of video clips where he talks about Garcinia Cambogia. Have any of you heard of this? It's an all natural supplement and in trials, people taking it lost an average of about four pounds a month, where people taking the...

My lower stomach has been at odds lately. I don't want to say I've had a stomachache, per se, but there's been somewhat of an uncomfortable awareness of my lower stomach lately, almost like a soreness. Could this be pregnancy, or something otherwise reproductive, that I need to be seen about?

Help! My hubby works in an office environment and keeps catching all the colds that are passed around. What can he do to ward off these repeat infections? He is sick now with probably his third or fourth cold in six months. :(

I've had some back issues lately (Sciatica) that have caused me to need prescription pain pills. Well, I don't know if you guys are aware of this or not, but when you take narcotic pain pills, many times you'll get constipated. This happened to me last night and I was in awful pain for about 5...

When I was on the feminine hygiene aisle at the grocery store, I noticed several douche kits. They seem to sell well, even though I've always heard that this is not a healthy practice. What's the deal, then? Is this something every woman should be doing, or no?

Has anyone here ever been to a chiropractor? I've been having some back problems lately and I think I may need to see one. Exactly what do they do to alleviate back pain?

I've been thinking about juicing for a while, to increase my intake of fruits and vegetables. I was wondering if anyone here had some recipes for juicing that would allow me to juice fruits and vegetables together and allow the resulting juice to still be sweet.

We're barely through the first week of January, and already our local Wal-Mart has aisles and aisles of Valentine's Day stuff for sale. This gets on my nerves so badly! I hate it when a store puts Christmas stuff on sale before Halloween and as soon as the Christmas stuff comes off the shelves...

Who all here made fitness or health-related New Year's resolutions? What's your resolution and how is it going so far? Today is January 7th - the end of the first week of the month - so I hope no one's fallen off the wagon, yet!

My husband and I went shopping for a few hours yesterday, just to get out of the house for a while. Of all the stores we went into and everything we looked at, the only thing we ended up buying was incense. After we got home, we lit a stick in the bedroom and it was so relaxing! Does anyone...

I'm planning a wedding for August and thinking about having it late in the evening, since August temps tend to run high here. I want to make some candles for the ceremony and reception. Has anyone here done that before? What kind of container(s) should I use? What's inexpensive and still...

Has anyone here heard the rumor about onions absorbing bacteria? My hubby read something about it on Facebook. According to the article he read, this is one of the reasons that so many people get sick right after the holidays. They put onions in the Thanksgiving and Christmas side dishes and...

I'm somewhat sensitive to scent, so strong scents tend to give me a headache. I'm also prone to stress headaches and even suffer from migraines occasionally. Are there any aromas out there that are particularly good at preventing or alleviating headaches?

I have two dogs, one of which is constantly biting at her rear end, despite the fact that she doesn't have fleas. Since the weather has recently changed here and the air is so much dryer and colder now, I'm thinking maybe she has dry skin. Would an oatmeal shampoo help?

My husband has a bad knee, although I don't know exactly what's wrong with it because he's yet to have it X'ray'd. I was reading an article recently about a vitamin that's supposed to help with your joints, but I can't remember what it's called. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

I've been so tied up in knots since about Halloween, because of Christmas and our tight budget this year. I've been working my tail off to try and earn some extra money for Christmas, plus stay on top of all my day-to-day responsibilities. I've just felt so overwhelmed here for the past few...
