Benefits of Milk Thistle Tea

In a stressful world of too-little sleep and environmental imbalances, the liver is impacted the most. But milk thistle tea can make a real difference.
An herb that has been used for centuries to promote liver health milk thistle takes its name from the milky substance released when the plant's leaves are crushed. It is thought that the benefits of milk thistle come through the herb inhibiting the binding of toxins to liver cells. The active ingredient of milk thistle silymarin can be helpful in treating toxin-induced liver diseases and silymarin has been shown in numerous studies to reduce liver injury caused by a number of drugs stress and environmental toxins.
Our CityCleanse Therapeutic Massage is followed by a bolstering cup of organic wild-harvested milk thistle tea to promote liver support and warm you up on a chilly fall day.

Massage Cupping Therapy in NYC
Massage Cupping is a massage technique where the massage therapist places silicone cups on the clients skin.
The negative pressure created by the cups, lifts the skin facilitating the release of underlying muscles and connective tissue. The cups can be left in place (static) or moved (dynamic). Static cupping is useful in helping address trigger points and tight muscles. Dynamic cupping helps release tense muscles and the sheath of tissue (fascia) as well as adhesions from injuries and overuse.
At CityTouch, we use silicone cups which are a safe, yet effective method for cupping. Harmless red spots may appear on your skin after cupping, but they will quickly disappear in a day or two. Recently, cupping has become popular from the 2016 Summer Olympics where many athletes including Michael Phelps, took advantage of cupping's health and performance benefits. Cupping therapy dates back to many ancient cultures.
