Valen’s Vanity Square

I didn’t know that titanium can be used to help relieve muscle aches and pain until recently.

Saw a flyer from a company called Phiten, which is selling a range of titanium products such as necklace, bracelets, tapes, lotions and gels. Many sportsmen and sportswomen seem to be wearing these titanium ‘accessories’ nowadays.

The designs of the titanium necklaces and bracelet look quite trendy, huh?

These products are said to have several benefits, including:
• Relieves joint muscle and pain
• Improves blood circulation
• Prevents fatigue, reduces headaches
• Enhances athletic abilities and flexibilities

It is said that there is weak flow of ‘bio-electric current’ (i.e. signals send to and from cells from the brain) in our body that governs our actions, moods and health conditions. Environmental factors such as electromagnetic waves emitted from computers and work stress upset the smooth flow of this current. This leads to headaches, stiffness at the shoulder, lower back pain, and other health problems. Titanium is believed to be able to stabilize the disturbed flow, thereby helping our body to heal naturally and thus reducing those uncomfortable symptoms.

I wonder how effective it is because I do need something to relief my constant shoulder ache. But before getting a titanium necklace or bracelet (which must be very expensive!), may be I should try the titanium tapes. Just have to stick a piece or two on the shoulder. But you can’t get these products anywhere; so far Phiten outlets are only available in Klang Valley.
