Do you have a natural solution for pain management?
May is National Fibromyalgia Awareness Month. Though this is a condition that is never ‘cured’, there are many natural options for treatment to manage chronic pain symptoms. A unique and life-changing product is becoming one of the best therapy tools for natural symptom care and pain management… and it’s cost-effective and completely without side-effects!
Mother Earth Pillows® were created with a goal in mind and a passion to relieve pain in 1995. Thirty years as a Registered Nurse played a vital part in Karen Kowal’s history prior to her becoming a Massage Therapist in 1994. She realized that Pain Management was a vital focus in her massage practice as she provided therapy for her clients with Fibromyalgia, chronic pain and needing rehabilitation after surgery or trauma.
Understanding the side-effects of pharmaceutical solutions to pain, she realized that her clients needed more to alleviate pain at home in addition to massage. One by one, the Mother Earth Pillows® were designed to meet her client’s needs for diverse conditions and therapeutic applications.
