Thermomechanical Message for Type II Diabetics and Hypertension, or, “Hot damn, does this thing work?”
Have you heard of Migun massage?
It started in South Korea, it’s a mechanical massage bed, it’s free, and it purports to alleviate a lot of different ailments, including hypertension and diabetes.
Does it work?
Beats the hell out of me, but it sure feels good.
Here is what researchers from the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, University of California, Irvine, the Undergraduate Biological Sciences Students at the U of C, Irvine, the Sherman Chiropractic College, Spartanburg, S.C., and the Charles W. Scmidtt college of Science, Boca Raton, Fl. have to say about it in a summary paragraph of the abstract they wrote following their study of it:
“Hypertensive subjects exhibited significant decreases in systolic, diastolic, and pulse pressures after commencing Migun thermomechanical massage. Type II diabetic subjects exhibited significant decreases in both fasting and 2hrPP blood glucose levels after commencing Migun theromechanical massage. Hypertensive/type II diabetic subjects exhibited statistically significant reductions in systolic, diastolic, and pulse pressures after commencing Migun thermomechanical massage. A possible mechanism of action is proposed for the pathways affected by Migun thermomechanical massage relative to the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal cortex axis.”
Okay, but what is it, really?
