Reflexology
The origins of Reflexology date back to more than 5,000 years ago. Ancient history indicates that Reflexology was originally practised in Egypt, India, and China, and has been practised for centuries all around the world by many different cultures.
Reflexology is a therapy, which involves using special pressure techniques with the thumbs and fingers, which are applied to the feet. These techniques are applied to reflex points on our feet, which are linked by energy pathways to corresponding organs, glands, and systems of the body, and therefore, the feet can be seen as a map of the body.
The movement of energy is stimulated along these pathways, restoring the free flow of energy. This will enable the body to heal itself, and function more effectively, restoring balance and well being to the whole body.
This treatment may be beneficial for headaches; migraines; sleep disorders; hormonal imbalances; digestive problems; cleansing and detoxifying the body; stress; tension; and for relaxation.
Swedish Massage
This treatment uses massage movements to work the soft tissues and muscles of the body. Massage improves circulation; helps to eliminate toxins; releases stress and muscle tension; aids in a restful nights sleep and calms the nervous system, relaxing the mind and body, giving a sense of well being.
Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage is based on traditional Indian techniques, which have been practised in India for over 5,000 years. The traditional art of Indian Head Massage is based on the ancient system of medicine, known as "Ayurveda", and this comes from the ancient Sanskrit language, which means the "science of life and longevity".
Indian Head Massage is carried out on the upper part of the body, including the upper back, shoulders, upper arms, neck, scalp and face.
This treatment may be beneficial for stress; muscle tension; headaches; migraines; sinus congestion; eyestrain; relaxation; and improving the condition and health of the scalp and hair.
Thermal Auricular Therapy
The history of Thermal Auricular Therapy (also known as Hopi Ear Candling), dates back to 2500 BC, and was practised by many ancient civilisations. Thermal Auricular Therapy originates from the Hopi Indians, and they are renowned for their great medicinal knowledge of healing, and their spiritual life.
This is a very gentle, and effective, natural therapy, and is carried out by using hollow candles, which are made from cotton, pure beeswax, honey extract, and traditional herbs. This treatment is also enhanced with a soothing face, neck and scalp massage.
This treatment may be beneficial for headaches; migraines; sinusitis; excess build up of wax; tinnitus; vertigo; hayfever; stress; tension; and relaxation.
