Magic Fingers is a popular massage technique that aims to relax and alleviate tension in the body. It involves the use of skilled and precise finger movements to stimulate different points on the body, promoting relaxation and improving circulation. The technique of Magic Fingers involves using a combination of gentle strokes, kneading, and pressure on specific pressure points. These pressure points are believed to correspond to different organs and systems in the body, and applying pressure to them can help alleviate pain and promote overall well-being. Magic Fingers can be used to relieve various types of pain, such as headaches, muscle aches, and joint pain. By targeting specific pressure points, the technique can help reduce inflammation, release tension in the muscles, and increase the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the affected area, aiding in the healing process.

We’ve come a long way in bedroom décor since the Egyptian pharaohs first moved their beds up off the ground around 3400 BC! One of the easier and more cost-effective ways to give your bedroom a whole new look includes selecting all-new bedding. But with so many bedding types out there, how do you find the ones that are best for you? What makes shopping for new bedding even more confusing is the myriad of unfamiliar terms used to describe and classify the different types and styles. (What’s the difference between a quilt and a blanket and a comforter and a coverlet? How do you know whether or not you’ll need a bed skirt? And what’s included in a quilt or comforter set?) Rest easy – to make your search easier, we’ve compiled a mini “dictionary” of some common bedding terms.

By targeting specific pressure points, the technique can help reduce inflammation, release tension in the muscles, and increase the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the affected area, aiding in the healing process. In addition to its physical benefits, Magic Fingers can also have mental and emotional benefits. A massage with Magic Fingers can help reduce stress and anxiety, promote relaxation, and improve sleep quality.

Sorting Out The Different Types Of Bedding

What do all those terms actually mean? This section helps you figure out the basics.

Bed skirt: Also known as a dust ruffle, a bed skirt is a decorative piece used to cover the boxspring and legs of the bed. It fits between the mattress and box spring and hangs to the floor.

Bedspreads: Also known as a spread, a bedspread is a bed cover with sides that go to the floor. Bedspreads do not require a bed skirt.

Comforter: Also known as duvets, comforters are thick, quilted bedcovers filled with feathers, down or other natural or man-made fibers.

Comforter cover: Also known as a duvet cover, a comforter cover is a sack-like covering with three closed sides and one open side that fits over a comforter to give it a new look.

Comforter set: An ensemble that includes a comforter, bed skirt and two standard shams (twin has one sham; double, queen and king have two shams).

Cotton batting: A layer of compressed cotton fibers used as a fill in quilts.

Coverlets: A coverlet is traditionally a lightweight, woven spread used on the top of the bedding. It can be big enough to hang down the sides of a bed or just cover the top of the mattress so that the bed skirt or bed frame is exposed.

Duvet: See comforter.

Duvet cover: See comforter cover.

Euro sham: A decorative casing for square pillows. These are often placed behind the standard size pillow shams as a backdrop, or on top of standard pillows as a coordinated set with a duvet cover.

Pockets: The corners of fitted sheets sized specifically to accommodate today’s thicker mattresses.

Quilt: Quilts are bed covers made up of three layers: a top, the batting (usually cotton or polyester fiber fill) and a backing. The layers are held together with stitching through all three layers. The top layer is usually artfully patterned; the bottom layer can either match the top or offer a contrasting look.

Quilt sets: A coordinated bed ensemble that includes a quilt, two standard shams (one sham with a twin quilt) and, in some cases, a decorative toss pillow.

Sham: A decorative covering for a pillow, often designed with trims, ruffles, flanges, or cording. Pillow shams are normally placed in front of the pillows used for sleeping, which would be covered with regular pillowcases.

Sheet set: A complete set that includes a flat sheet, fitted sheet and two standard pillowcases (twin has one pillowcase; full and queen have two standard pillowcases, king has two king pillow cases).

Shell: The outermost layer or cover of a comforter.

Split corners: On bed skirts, corners at the foot of the bed, from the platform to the hem, constructed without seams to create an opening to accommodate bed posts. Used on beds without posts, the edges at the corners overlap to conceal the opening.

Thread count: The number of vertical and horizontal threads per square inch in a woven fabric.

The gentle touch of the fingers can release endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers and mood enhancers. Magic Fingers can be performed by trained professionals, such as massage therapists, or by individuals who have learned the technique themselves. It can be used as a stand-alone massage technique or incorporated into other massage styles, such as Swedish or deep tissue massage, to enhance their effects. However, it is important to note that Magic Fingers is not a substitute for medical treatment. It should be used as a complementary therapy to support overall health and well-being. If you have any specific health concerns or medical conditions, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before trying Magic Fingers or any other massage technique..
