The Treatments
Reflexology
Reflexology is known to be more
than 400 years old. Paintings discovered in the Physicians' Tomb at Saqqora,
Egypt dating back to 2,300 B.C. show an actual reflexology treatment in
progress. Reflexology is a completely safe form of therapy as well as being a
very relaxing and pleasant experience.
The purpose of a course of
treatment is to normalise the body's functioning, to help break down tension
and alleviate stress and to improve nerve functioning and blood supply
throughout the body. Reflexology can help to control pain by stimulating the
release of endomorphines - the body's natural painkillers from the pituitary
gland in the brain into the blood stream.
Eastern Head
Massage
This is a simple, very relaxing,
safe and highly beneficial therapy which has been popular throughout the Indian
Sub-Continent for over a thousand years. It involves the massage of the scalp,
face, neck and shoulders. This soothes, comforts and rebalances the energy flow
to produce a feeling of peace and tranquility.
Reiki
Reiki - pronounced ray-key - is
a Japanese word meaning universal life energy - a force which runs through all
living things.
It is believed that the technique was first
used by Tibetan Buddhist monks thousands of years ago and was rediscovered in
the 1800s by Mitrao Usui. The treatment harmonises and balances the body's
energy by allowing it to flow freely and, therefore, enabling the body's own
healing system to function more effectively.
Body Massage
The art of massage is probably
as old as man himself, because to hold or rub an injured part is a reaction to
the pain involved. We know from ancient writings that the Chinese had a system
of massage at least 5,000 years ago - as did the Hindis, the Japanese and just
a little nearer our time the Egyptians.
Thermotherapy
for Ear and Head (Hopi Ear Candles)
This is an ancient
form of treatment that was used by the North American Hopi Indians.
The Candles,which are cylindrical with hollow centres,are made of
natural substances such as honey,beeswax and medicinal herbs.They
are lit and inserted in the ear and are used both to cleanse the
ear and also to regulate the pressure system inthe inner ear and
head. The treatment can be used on many conditions including;
WAXY EARS GLUE EAR HEADACHES MIGRAINES
RHINITS SINUSITIS SNORING STRESS TINNITUS
FLYING AND DIVING PROBLEMS
The treatment is soothing, painless and relaxing and includes a
full face and neck massage. The whole treatment takes approximately
one hour.
Hot and Cold Stone Massage
The treatment involves the use of hot and cold stones to areas of the body, giving a deep massage and creating a sensation of warmth and comfort.
The heat from the stones improves circulation, relaxes muscles, eases pain, removes tension, helps detox, reduces stress and fatigue.
Cold stones refresh and stimulate the mind, ease congestion, reduce inflammation and soothes irritation.
Crystal Mud Foot Soak
Crystal Mud is essentially a relaxing foot soak that increases the circulation in the feet, soothes tired muscles, moisturizes the skin, stimulates the senors and alleviates stress and fatigue.
It consists of natural products in to which natural plant extracts are added. It starts life as a powder which mixes with warm water to become a soft, viscous solution of tiny gel-like crystals. The warm thick solution is tactile and therapeutic. Choose from Lavender, Milk, Peppermint, Jasmine and Rose. You can also buy a sachet to use your self at home.
Massage Jams
Body Massage Jams enriched with carefully selected and performing plant extracts help you get the healthy body and mind you deserve. Sweet natural perfumes,colours and touches enwrap you in a complete feeling of well-being. The application and use of endorphin like molecules in Marzia de Servi's Massage Jam is therefore a new approach to develop a novel product, completely mood lifting, to boost your sense of well-being, improve your state of mind and your appearance. All Jams are water-soluble and do not leave any residue. These are Massage for the Body and Relaxation for the Mind.
