Benefits of Therapeutic Massage

Understanding Massage

Massage has been used for centuries to heal, invigorate and relax the mind and body, reaching all the major organs as well as helping the muscles, bones and soft tissues stay healthy.

History shows that although the early Egyptians referred to the benefits of massage, the Chinese were amoung the first to recognize its healing value at around 3000 BC. In Roman time it also became a part of daily ritual for relaxation.

Helping the body & mind

Therapeutic Massage can benefit bones, muscles and soft tissues, circulation, lymphatic drainage, nervous system, and skin as well as help coping with stress and general wellbeing. In fact, one of the most profound benefits of massage is deep relaxation, reducing the stress and tension that is believed to be, directly or indirectly, the cause of nearly three-quarters of all illness.

Benefits of Reflexology

Understanding Reflexology

Reflexology is a unique method of using the thumb & fingers to stimulate more than seven thousand two hundred nerve endings in each foot. These nerve endings correspond to all parts of the body, including organs & glands. Stimulating the appropriate region is intended to eliminate energy blockages thought to produce pain or disease in the related areas. Hands and ears also have reflex points and can be worked in the same way.

Reflexology is used to prevent, rather than cure, and is used to relieve a wide variety of ailments.

This form of body healing has been used as far back as 2330 BC in Egypt and was known in India & China at least five thousand years ago.

What is Ionic Foot Detox & How Can It Help?

When water is ionized and split into H+ and OH- ions (and sometimes H3O+ and H2O2 ions), these are able to travel through the body and neutralize oppositely charged particles, and through powerful osmotic pressure, pull those neutralized toxins out of the body through the feet. Color changes in the water and changes in saliva pH indicate that toxins are being removed from the body.

This process has been known to:

Remove toxins and body waste products that can cause health problems

Chelate heavy metals

Inactivate viruses, bacteria, yeast and fungus

Relieve pain and tension including headaches

Purify the blood and lymph

Stimulate and balance the immune system

Enhance nutrient absorption

Reduce inflammation and unwanted fluid retention

Help clear up bad skin

Assist in weight loss

Slow down aging and improve body flexibility

Quicken recovery time from disease or injury

Increase oxygen in the body

Rejuvinate and energize your whole body through bio-stimulation

Improve sleep

Raise pH levels. Approximately 95% of people experience a state of acidity in which their blood pH is lower 7.45, indicating an excess of hydrogen ions.

What are Chakras & Why Balance?

Understanding Chakras

The word Chakra comes from the Sanskrit word meaning ‘wheel’ or ‘disc’. According to Hindu tradition, there are seven of these Chakras in the human body, each a different color and relating to a different area of the body.

A Chakra is a spinning vortex of energy, which, like a bicycle or car wheel, needs to be in balance in order to work effectively. Imagine driving your car with one wheel that is not balanced, the vibration would permeate every bone in your body, making the drive incredible uncomfortable!

The same principle applies to your Chakras - they are all of equal importance and if just one of the seven is not working effectively, there is a knock-on effect throughout the body causing at the least discomfort and at the worst, disease.

There are no “good” or “bad” Chakras, nor are there higher or lower Chakras in terms of spirituality. All are needed for earthly experience and spiritual development. There are only higher and lower frequencies like musical notes – each equal, each beautiful, each necessary.
