I worked in retail from the time I was sixteen. Needless to say almost 20 years of standing for eight plus hours has damaged my feet to my hips.
I like relief as much as possible without pills. I decided about 6 months ago to purchase a heated mattress pad. Sometimes my bones feel like the ache is deep. This pad has made sleeping more comfortable. I sleep longer without waking up. I also can keep the room cooler. I like a window cracked for fresh air. If specialty sized pads for campers were not so expensive I would add one to that bed too!
My calming ritual for bed time;
Rosemary and mint body lotion. Morning Mint by Archipelago is a favorite. Also Dionis', Verbana. If I am really aching I add a menthol muscle rub to my neck and a little under the nose and pull a hoodie over my head to lock in the heat.
Turn on mattress pad.
Turn on Pandora to soothing sleep music. Try Native American Flute. My dog makes his little snort of complete rest about five minutes in!
Sweet Dreams!
