Swedish
Massage
Swedish
Massage is a gentle, flowing massage technique that is particularly
effective for people suffering from work related or personal stress.
Swedish Massage can relax and tone your sore, tired muscles, assist
the flow of blood and oxygen, encourage the lymphatic flow
(the
body’s natural defense and detoxifying system), and leave
you feeling calm and energized. It involves applying a system of
long gliding strokes, kneading and friction techniques, generally
done in the direction of the blood flow to the heart.

Lymphatic Drainage
The
lymphatic system is composed of nodes and ducts that transport intracellular
lymphatic fluid from the tissues to the bloodstream. This is one
of the body’s most effective measures of detoxifying and maintaining
a healthy immune system. The lymphatic fluid carries oxygen, nutrients
and lymphocytes (white blood cells) to fight infection and then
carries off the toxins, dead cells, bacteria and viruses. Unlike
the bloodstream, which is pumped by the heart, the lymphatic system
is activated or “pumped by muscle movement during exercise
or by massage using a lymphatic drainage technique. We can enhance
Lymphatic circulation by adding the Lymph-Light Treatment. (See
Lymph-Light Treatment)

| Lymph-Light
Treatment
The
Lymph-Light Machine uses low current, cold gas light photons that
produce an ionizing light. This light comes from a wand held by
the practitioner to target various nodes and ducts of the lymphatic
system. The frequency modulation produced by the light is safe to
use by lay practitioners. The Lymph-Light Treatment effects cells
on an energetic level by rebalancing the charge of the cells own
electromagnetic field. Cells in the lymphatic system can clump together
and bond electrically with water, which can create diseased tissue,
edema, benign tumors, swelling and other blockages that are dissolved
and released by the Lymph-Light Treatment.

Foot
Reflexology
Foot Reflexology
involves massaging of the feet and ankles exclusively. Each part
of the foot corresponds to different organs and areas of the body
and thus is a therapeutic treatment for the entire body. It can
also be useful as a diagnostic tool. When certain points on the
foot are painful to the touch this is indicative of blocked energy
related to that body part. Deep massage applied to these areas can
remove the block and get the currents flowing again.
With simple massage techniques the whole body can be stimulated
and blocks released so that the regenerative process can take place.

Infrared
Sauna
The
Infrared Sauna detoxifies the body on a cellular level from heavy
metals including mercury, lead, cadmium, aluminum, arsenic, formaldehyde
and industrial chemicals. Infrared saunas have shown to assist in
weight loss, pain management, skin purification, detoxification,
and stress reduction. It can also provide relief to patients suffering
from arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and certain
skin conditions. Infrared sauna surrounds the body and penetrates
deeply into joints, muscles and tissues, increasing oxygenation
of tissue, getting endorphins flowing and increasing over all circulation.
It is the perfect addition to any detoxification program.
