Most people turn to quick fix involving the use of sleeping aid drugs such as melatonin, Valium, Tylenol and other potent sedatives to address sleep problem.

Sleep remedies involving potent drugs should only be used on shot term basis and under doctor's advice. Medication involving drugs may have serious side effects such as the case with Michael Jackson who is believed to have died due to improper administration of the potent anesthetic ‘propofol’ intravenous drug with the intention to help him sleep. Sleep aid drugs merely sought to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.

Of course by no means I am trying to imply we should stay away from sleep aid drugs completely You just need to avoid taking sleep aid drugs for prolong period of time and consult a doctor on the best medication appropriate for your sleep problem. If you are not careful you might become addicted to these drugs. Use these drugs with discretion. Most of the time, drugs do not deal with the underlying root cause of the sleep problem.

Surrounding environment such as the temperature, humidity, noise and the condition of bedding items such the pillow and mattress spring could disrupt an otherwise good sleep. Poor sleeping position and posture could harm and affect the spine, which in turn impact your sleep.

Poor nutrition and lack of exercise also contribute to sleep problem. Stimulants such as coffee and tea may also keep you from falling asleep so it’s recommended that you avoid caffeine and any other stimulants at least 3 hours before bedtime.

Family members, close friends, self improvement coach or even religious leaders such as a pastor might be able to help you cope with stress.

Stress may cause you to loose sleep and the lack of quality sleep in turn creates more stress and the cycle repeats and escalate into severe depression and chronic insomnia. Prolong stress and chronic insomnia can cause serious internal organ inflammation, destroy health and put your life at risk.

So the big question is which of the two should you address first, sleep disorder or stress? It may be a difficult choice to make for some who are suffering from both chronic stress and insomnia. Prolong chronic stress maybe more difficult to analyze and deal with due to the diverse possible triggering factors. You will need to seek professional help to deal with chronic stress.

Sleep is one of the major factor that contributes to our overall wellness. Sleep enables the body to repair tissues, muscles and vital organs. Sleep also helps to reduce inflammation, improves and boost body immune system to fight agains diseases Lack of sleep accelerates aging and increase the risks of stroke and heart attack.

Our body is a marvelous piece of machine that is capable of repairing itself efficiently given the right condition such as good nutrient, exercise and adequate rest. Chemicals and compounds such as drugs don't actually heal our body directly.

Rather it is our body mind system with the help of the energy known as the 'chi' that drives to balance and regulates the body self-healing system. Have you ever wondered why you feel good after massage? The fact of the matter is that massage helps to release mental stress, promotes relaxation and balances the body 'chi' energy.

The 'chi' also known as the human life force is not simply a supertitious belief but is something very real that is constantly being acknowledge and recognized by modern western research in the fields of physics and medicine. Chi is a form of energy that flows through the meridians the way electrical impulses flow through the nerves.


The chi machine benefits elderly people and those who are prone to injury in need of exercise. As the name implies, the movement to the body in a 'snake' like motion helps to align the spine, relaxes muscles, improve blood circulation and flow of oxygen to body system. It also helps to improve lymph fluids flow so as to improve detoxification and eliminate toxins from the body.



Many people who has used the chi machine for just 15 minutes daily experienced great results in terms of improve sleep and relieve emotional stress. The swinging of the feet creates a harmonic response up through the body, which balances energy levels and releases tension. The therapeutic massage effects through the use of this machine is very rewarding. Daily use of it for 15 minutes prior to bedtime improves insomnia condition.


Fifteen minutes of passive exercise with the chi machine is estimated to be equivalent to 90 minutes of walking. The best part of it is that after the machine has stop swinging you feel sudden surge of relaxation and rejuvenation of energy across your entire body from head to toe.

The Chi Machine- Spinal Alignment

Majority of the diseases that we suffers are linked to the spine. This may come as a surprise to many who tend to link spine to just physical back pain only. Who might have expected other sickness such as headache, loss of energy, sleep disorder and diabetes are also possibly link to the condition of the spine. The spine has tremendous effect and influence on health.

The central nervous system extends throughout the spinal column, beginning from the brain and branch out from the nerve networks to every part of the body. The extended network of nerves is termed the autonomic nervous system. Blood and immune system such as the globulin are produced by the spinal column bone marrow.

The central nervous system controls important functions such as breathing, heart rate, digestion and many other activities many of which is out of conscious control. Misalignment and abnormal pressure and stress applied to the spine may impact the normal body functions and trigger diseases on an otherwise healthy body.

The spine can be subdivided into 4 major sections namely the cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacrum. Problems to any of these spinal sections may cause impact to different organs and cause different illnesses.

For instance, insomnia, dizziness, migraines, ear inflammation, cataracts and sore throat may be associated with problems on the cervical vertebrae. Stiff neck, liver disease, rheumatism, lack of strength and swelling thyroid may be trigger due to thoracic vertebrae condition.

Thus it is not surprising that spinal misalignment may affect one’s overall quality of health. Varying magnitude of spinal misalignment may result in broad spectrum of different symptoms and intensity. Some people may not even realize or aware that they have spinal misalignment problem.

The degree of spinal misalignment may worsen and the symptoms or illness associated with it may change gradually or abruptly making it extremely difficult for physician to pinpoint the underlying cause of the health problems.

We can move our spine in sideways much like the way snake moves in ‘S’ shape. Applying the appropriate pressure and movements such as the snake like profile can help in the realignment of the spine.

Most form of exercises does not adequately help to flex the spinal column in a twisting snake like movement. Physical and mental stress may caused the spines to be rigid and as such it is important for you choose the appropriate form of exercise to prevent causing more harm to the spine.

Correct spinal movement exercise helps to re-align the spine, release the chi energy and balance the energy movement throughout the body. Optimal spine movement helps to relieve vertebrae joint, stimulates the autonomic nervous system and provides pleasure sensation.

One of the best ways to exercise and keep the spine in good shape and in proper alignment is by using the Chi Machine regularly. The knowledge on spine and the link to health provide the more reasons why you should own a Chi Machine at home.

Chi Machine - Reduce Cancer Risks

Exercise contributes to overall health because it helps to increase intake of oxygen to our body. Why is it so important for us to acquire proper amount of oxygen to our body? To understand the importance of oxygen in relation to our health, firstly we need to know that Our health is maintain by trillions of cells which provides necessary energy to body systems and all vital organs.

Vital organs in the body such as the heart and lung requires energy to function properly. Without energy, the heart would stop beating and the lung would collapse resulting in cessation of life. Cells in our body requires nutrients and oxygen to produce energy. Exercise increase the intake rate of oxygen which in turn enable the cell to obtain nutrient and produce energy more efficiently for the body.

One major discovery pertaining to cancer is that a cell deprived of oxygen may turn cancerous. Normal healthy cells requires oxygen and nutrient to generate energy while cancer cells make use of fermented sugar and low oxygen to produce energy needed to multiply the cancerous cells.

Dr. Otto Warburg,a Nobel prize winner in medicine prove that cancer cells cannot thrive and live in high oxygen low sugar content healthy cells. Cancerous cells are harder to develop in the presence of adequate oxygen.

The 'Chi Machine' helps to boost up blood cell production, improve blood circulation and tissue oxygenation. Thus it is not surprising that using the 'Chi Machine' on a regular basis could strengthen and protect your body against cancer, many of which were triggered due to surrounding environmental factors such as pollution, stress, sleep disorder,radiation, hormone imbalance and lack of nutrients.
