Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A WEEKLY reflexology massage may help to reduce premenstrual stress, according to research published in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. The study, from Burbank, California, found that 83 per cent of women who had reflexology therapy reported that premenstrual symptoms were reduced by as much as 30 per cent, compared with 24 per cent of a group given a placebo massage.
Reflexologists believe that different parts of the body can be treated by massaging specific sites on the feet, ears and hands.
