Perhaps A Wine Massage Madam?
People have used wine in medicine ever since it was first invented. History is riddled with examples of people believing that it can cure back pain, get rid of aids, help your joints and even make your hair grow thicker.Sadly, its more often the case that wine (and alcohol in general) contributes more to the cause of health problems than the cure. Believe it or not over 1500 people injured themselves in 2008 in the U.S just by using a bottle opener.That said, every now again wine surprises everyone by showing some amazing qualities, which is exactly what has recently happened at the University of Minnesota, where a wine-massage study has shown the healing effects of both the red and white varieties.
This claim was made after scientists at the university ran an 8-month study on various groups of athletes and other students, whereby they had recovery messages at regular intervals using either wine or a placebo substance. The results very clearly highlighted that the subjects who were massaged with wine, had a muscle recovery rate that was around 15% faster than those subjects who had traditional sports massages. Tim Herring from the Universities Sports Sciences department stated that whenever muscles are used they become damaged to some degree¦.we found that using wine in muscle massage sessions increased the rate at which this tissue damage recovered.Herring theorised that nerve endings in the muscle tissues were made less sensitive to stimulation by the wines alcohol content and therefore became more relaxed. This relaxation then allows a vaso-dilation of the blood vessels that surround muscle tissue and means more healing nutrients can get to the damaged tissue.Interestingly, other alcoholic substances have been tested and do not display the same positive results, suggesting there might be something else found in wine that acts as a catalyst.
You probably wont find that there is a rush in wine rack sales from health spas around the country, but maybe they will invest in some riedel vinum chardonnay just to give it a go.
