![]() Health Savings Account funds CAN be used to pay for a massage, but there is a small catch. Per the IRS, a massage can only be paid for using your HSA if the treatment was recommended by a physician to treat a specific injury or to prevent physical or mental ailments. Examples of illnesses that qualify include carpal tunnel syndrome, stress, back pain, arthritis, diabetes, hypertension, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression and pain management. At your next visit, ask your physician to provide the following three pieces of information on the prescription: Medical necessity: why you need massage therapy (example: to relieve back pain, reduce high blood pressure, improve sleep, reduce anxiety) Frequency: number of sessions per month (example: minimum of two sessions per month) Duration: length of treatment (example: 12 months) Provide a copy of your prescription to your massage therapist and keep the original for your records, it's that simple. To ensure your records are whole, you must also document each visit with a receipt that includes the date of service, the services rendered or product purchased and the person for whom the services were rendered and the amount charged. You can now pay for a massage using your HSA pre-tax savings funds. Unfortunately, you are not able to include tips, pay for multiple visits upfront, or use the funds to improve your overall general health. Also, with a letter of medical necessity from a doctor, expenses like gym memberships or even a mattress can be recommended to treat a specific medical condition and would be considered a qualified medical expense. If you have specific questions about taxes, HSAs, FSAs, and what qualified medical expenses are covered, please refer to the IRS guidelines at www.IRS.gov, your tax advisor, or health insurance provider. Take control of your health and your budget with HSA and massage.

Is the addiction education in this country contributing the current adolescent drug and alcohol use problems? Are teachers, school counselors and psychologists actually creating hopeless addicts? The answer to those questions are yes and yes. While most educators and counselors have good intentions, their lack of common sense and knowledge of the latest research regarding "addiction" is quite literally creating a generation of people who believe they are powerless.

Occupational health Advisor's (OHA) can contribute by helping managers to manage sickness absence more effectively. The OHA may be involved in helping to train line managers and supervisors in how to best use the occupational health service, in how to refer staff, what type of information will be required and what to expect.

Spiritual healing is the oldest type of healing known to humanity. There has always been some form of spiritual healing available in all tribes and societies: our own Druid tradition of healing and spirituality, the North American Medicine man, the wise men and women who occupied a special place in every tribe, helping to heal the sick through the power of the spirit, and to guide the tribe in times of crises, and in matters of life and death. Due to many people's disillusionment with traditional religions there has been a huge upsurge in interest in the whole area of spirituality in recent years.

Keto and low-carb dieters know that they must plan ahead before entering fast food restaurants. It's good to be prepared with some safe options before being tempted by menu items you shouldn't have on a low-carb diet. In order to make it easier to find a quick keto-friendly option, I've compiled a list of several restaurants and fast food places and those items that I've found to be the lowest carb (and most emotionally satisfying) choices. These are not all perfect options, but when you're stuck with no other choices due to time or location constraints, they'll do in a pinch.
