Holism
Treat the whole person - not just the symptom, this is the basic tenant of "Holistic" medicine. Western medical thinking is only just starting to realise that Eastern medical techniques, which have been developed over 7000 years, are effective.
The welfare of the whole person - mental - physical and spiritual are intimately tied up with the health of that person. Holstic healing, where the patient is involved with the whole process, often leads to self healing through the balance of the body being re-established.
Most of the ills of today are caused by the balance of the body being out of kilter. Stress, pollution, the strains of a modern rapid lifestyle, low level mental health problems such as depression, all contribute to poor health.
Any treatments which restore the body's equilibrium, their "Wal", which is the centre of quietness within, can have spectacular results in improving health.
Reflexology
By managing the reflex areas of the feet Reflexologists treat diseases in parts of the body they claim to be related to those areas. Exactly what happens when reflex areas are massaged is not fully understood, and cannot yet be explained scientifically. The feet are mirrors of the body. Different parts of the sole connect to such organs as the bladder, kidneys and lungs. Reflexology is about the giving and receiving of re-balancing vital energies which when blocked will stop the body functioning correctly. It is also promotes total relaxation, helping the body to heal itself.
Indian Head massage
Practiced in India for more than 1000 years, this massage involves relaxing movements of the upper back, shoulders, neck, head and face. This helps to relieve the stress of everyday life. The scalp can be massaged with various oils to improve circulation and help prevent hair loss.
Aromatherapy
The physical benefits of Aromatherapy massage are the feelings of being comforted, cared for, and a sense of well being which is surely unique. Aromatherapy massage is "hands o", it´s an art that operates through the empathy between the person giving the massage and the person receiving it. Each blend of oil is individually determined by the scents the recipient prefers and by the desired effect, whether it is to relieve ailments, to pamper with an aromatic beauty treatment, or simply to ease tension with a full body massage.
