VETERAN’S DAY PROGRAM AT HACKBERRY The students of Hackberry High School will conduct a program entitled “Honoring All Who Served” in their school auditorium on Thursday, Nov. 9. All area vet- erans are invited to partici- pate in this program and share a time of visiting and refreshments afterward. Aromatherapy helps deal with stress (NAPSA)-One pleasant way to deal with daily stress and fatigue is to massage it away. For thousands of years, holistic therapies such as aro- matherapy massage have been used as a way to refresh and recharge the senses. A daily massage with scented oil can help dissolve accumulated stress and tox- ins. The benefits to be expect- ed from this calming daily rit- ual include: • Increased circulation, especially to nerve endings • Toning of the muscles and the whole physiology • Calming for the nerves • Lubrication of the joints • Increased mental alert- ness • Improved elimination of impurities from the body • Softer, smoother skin • Increased levels of sta- mina through the day • Better, deeper sleep at night. A favorite scented oil used for aromatherapy massage combines olive oil and orange blossom. Olive oil is well known for its healing proper- ties, both when taken inter- nally and used to lubricate the outer body, while orange blossom oil is a scent that has been used as a stress reliever for years. Together, olive oil and orange blossom offer luxuri- ous skin conditioning with the added benefit of soothing stress-reduction. zzzz
