I thought of addressing a reader’s comment who say that anyone who believe in bekam (blood acucupping) is a sucker as there could be many others who also shared his thoughts on this.

This is especially so with pain management, arthritis and rheumatism. Effective, non intrusive and little or no side effects.

Menstrual pain can be terrible and unbearable for a woman to go through.

A few friends I know suffered from severe cramps that they would usually go on medical leave on the first day.

No matter how much of pain I feel, in less than 10 minutes of bouncing on my rebounder or mini trampoline, the pain would completely disappear.
