BEAUTY & HOLISTIC TREATMENTS
Reflexology
Reflexology involves gentle pressure on parts of your feet to help with a health problem located elsewhere in your body. Placing careful pressure on these points stimulates our body’s natural healing process.
Reflexology is used for many conditions, ranging from migraines to constipation to menstrual problems and other health issues. Other benefits include reduced stress and tension, improved circulation, and immunity, helping the body to re-balance and achieve healing and wellbeing in a relaxing, rejuvenating and therapeutic way.
Indian Head Massage
This therapeutic practice focuses on the upper body, including the scalp, face, neck, and shoulders.
Indian head massage is a relaxing treatment involving applying acupressure techniques to the head, face, neck, and shoulders. Doing so aims to rebalance the body’s energies and promote relaxation.
This form of massage therapy is an ancient complementary practice based on the Ayurvedic healing system, utilised in India for over a thousand years.
An Indian head massage stimulates blood flow, lymph and oxygen in your upper body and, therefore, may relieve sinusitis, relieve stress and help you sleep better. It is said to help cure headaches/migraines, eye strain and anxiety. Reflexology also stimulates the hair follicles, which is said to improve the texture of your hair and encourage hair growth.
Hopi Ear Candling
Thermal Auricular therapy is a natural, non-invasive way or treating the ears. Hopi Ear Candles are hollow tubes made from organically grown flax, extracts of honey, beeswax and herbs. These candles provide a non-invasive treatment of the ears which are used in a variety of conditions in a practice.
The use of ear candles is thought to be thousands of years old and was seen in Egypt, Greece and Rome. Though it is the Native American Hopi Indian tribe that has had the most recent influence on modern Europe and helped to term the phrase ‘hopi ear candle’.
The treatment is very relaxing. You only need concern yourself with lying fairly still in a comfortable position whilst the hopi candle is gently inserted in their ear.
When lit, the candles have a slight sucking action often referred as the chimney principle, drawing out impurities to the surface where they can be gently removed. Some of the wax can be found in the lower section of the candle after removal from the ear, or some could even work its way up to the surface 24-48 hours later.
The rising air inside the ear sets up a vibration which gently massages the eardrum. This can help to regulate the pressures involved inside the ear. The flow of air within the candle creates a circulation of concentrated vapour. This is both soothing and calming and protects the irritated areas.
A facial massage is then followed using the Manual Lymphatic Drainage routine. This helps with further drainage both of the ears and sinuses and increases relaxation.
Reiki
During the Reiki healing session, you will lie fully clothed on a massage table. The Reiki practitioner, who has been attuned to the Reiki energy, will then place their hands either directly on or just above various parts of the clients’ body for a few minutes at a time.
This enables the energy to flow through the body, clearing blockages along the way and going where the healing is needed most.
Often the Reiki energy is described as felt as hot, cold, heavy, butterflies or even as a sharp stab. Sometimes the client feels nothing at all, but that does not mean that the energy is not flowing.
It is possible to heal at all levels: physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual. Acute injuries can be helped to heal quickly but more chronic illness takes longer. Even in terminal illness, there is usually great benefit to be gained and an enhancement of the quality of life, giving a sense of peace and acceptance during the time remaining.
Please note that Reiki is not an alternative to allopathic medicine but can be used safely in conjunction. You cannot ‘overdose’ on Reiki. The body will take on board only as much as it needs at that time.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is the manual manipulation of soft body tissue (muscle, connective tissue, tendons and ligaments) to encourage increased oxygen flow in the blood and to release toxins from the tissues.
Massage therapy can be varied to provide for the individual needs of the client and benefits can include relief from headaches, back pain and muscular tension.
If you have been suffering from chronic pain for a long time, therapeutic massage is a style of massage that uses strong pressure, slow deep strokes and friction across the muscle grain to reduce chronic muscle tension.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage body massage is a specialised form of treatment which is designed to attain and sustain the functioning of the lymphatic system. A treatment involves gentle movements of the skin, stretching and circling rhythmically, helping to stimulate the contraction of the lymphatic vessels. This results in excess fluid and waste products being removed from the body’s tissues and into the lymphatic system.
The lymphatic system forms part of our immune system, helping us to cope with infection by cleansing/detoxifying. Unlike the circulatory system where the heart pumps blood around the body, lymph vessels rely on the flow of the fluid through the vessels to stimulate a muscular impulse by lymphangion’s – tiny muscular units within the vessels, to propel the fluid. This enables the transport of proteins, dead blood cells, toxins, fatty acids, hormones and immune cells to the lymph nodes which produce lymphocytes to destroy and remove cellular debris and foreign, unwanted cells.
Due to the nature of the lymphatic system, lymphatic drainage can prove beneficial in the correction of numerous conditions as well as the maintenance of good health.
One of the biggest benefits of MLD is as a cleanser of the skin.
