David Lenkovitzki I have started Tai Chi Chuan practice in earnest after my second crash and burn, I was debilitated, suffered from chronic back pain and stiff neck and shoulders.

Now, 30 years later, I'm in great shape, I run a business, I practice for over 3 hours daily and teach evenings.

Tai Chi Chuan teaches correct posture, body use, breath, relaxation in reaction to stress; however, this is not a panacea, I worked harder than at any other endeavor in my life to make it work.

ANGELO I was feeling really stressed out and I heard that Navratna oil might help. The results were good. I massaging the oil on my scalp and across my head. It also relieved shoulder aches and headaches. You can find Navartna oil just about any Ayurvedic store.
