Paraffin Treatment

Paraffin therapy provides deep penetrating heat to warm joints, tissue and skin. It is ideal for the treatment of  people suffering from pain associated with arthritis, strains, sprains or joint stiffness. Sore hands or feet can be bathed in warm paraffin or a paraffin melt can be brushed on all over body areas to speed up circulation, cleanse the pores, soften the skin and loosen joints. It is also a wonderful, relaxing treatment for stress and anxiety.

 

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy utilizes naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants to promote physical and emotional health. Nearly all essential oils tend to be powerful antiseptics, which destroy harmful bacteria and viruses. They stimulate the immune system, thereby encouraging the body to resist disease, as well as improving the circulation system, relieving pain and reducing fluid retention.  We use a nebulization system for aromatherapy.  Since heat is not used, the essential oils are not chemically changed or broken down. This makes nebulizers ideal for aromatherapy. Nebulization ionizes and naturally suspends very fine oil molecules in the air making the essential oil more bio-available.  Essential oils can directly impact emotional states through the olfactory system, which makes it a uniquely holistic healing modality. Aromas are sensed and analyzed in the reticular system of the brain stem. Our aromatic inhalations are particularly useful for stress reduction, melancholy or treatment of respiratory problems.

 

Classical Massage

Massage therapy increases blood supply, oxygen, and nutrition to muscle tissue, joints, and the vital organs, and improves circulation throughout the body. It lowers blood pressure and heart rate and can reduces stress, anxiety, and even depression. As massage helps reduce not only physical, but mental stress, it is often recommended as part of a regular program for stress management. We offer a wide variety of classical massages including cosmetical facial massage, back and shoulder massages, full body, anti-cellulite massage or concentrate on problem areas.  The essential oils used in our aromatherapy massage make the treatment wonderfully therapeutic and will relieve the tension and discomfort present in a range of ailments.

 

Honey Massage

Honey massage is one of the ancient Tibetan and Russian massages. The effects of honey massage are based on the interaction between the skin and the nourishing components of pure honey. The effect of the honey massage can be felt almost immediately after a single procedure. The honey massage cleans pores in the skin and dramatically increases circulation.

 

Clay Plasters

Clay has been used for centuries to nourish and detoxify the body. The fine clay actually draws from the pores, absorbing impurities and helping to release wastes from the skin. The effect is a gentle exfoliation, tightening and revitalizing of the skin.  Warm clay treatments are also very useful to painful or sore joints.  This therapy provides a soothing and relaxing experience that will leave you feeling rejuvenated with wonderful smooth and silky skin.

 

Salt Glow

Sea salt, rich in trace minerals, is mixed with warm massage oil to exfoliate the top layers of dead skin from the whole body (except for the face). It leaves your skin moist, glowing, and satin-smooth. It is an excellent treatment for those who tend to have cold limbs as it stimulates the circulation.  A salt glow is a tonic strengthener for the whole nervous system.  This treatment can also be given with essential oils for a wonderful aromatherapy combination.

 

Contrast Shower

This is a special, multi-headed shower that alternates hot and cold water.  The temperature contrast increases microcirculation throughout body tissues, promotes detoxification, and strengthens the immune system. This helps bring nutrients, oxygen and immune cells to damaged and stressed tissues and carries away metabolic waste, inflammatory by-products and other toxic substances. Contrast showers also increasing the number of circulating white blood cells.   Contrast showers help to strengthen and normalize the nervous, circulatory, endocrine systems and are excellent for helping the body cope with physiological and psychological stress.  After a contrast shower you will notice you have more energy and vigor.

 

Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy is the use of water to revitalize, maintain, and restore health. Hydrotherapy uses water to treat disease, stress and tension. The term “hydrotherapy“ does not refer to any one particular treatment but rather to a broad category of treatments. Hydrotherapies use both hot and cold water to either relax or invigorate the body. While warm water soothes and relaxes the body, cold water stimulates. Hydrotherapy is effective for relieving stress and tension as well as to stimulate digestion, improve circulation, strengthen the immune system and to bring relief from pain. Adding herbs and essential oils to water can enhance its therapeutic value.

We offer constitutional hydro, which is a series of hot and cold compresses applied to the chest and back. This method is used for promoting overall health and immune system strength.  It is used to stimulate the function of the liver and spleen and aid in digestion.

We also offer steam chair treatments, hot foot baths with aromatic oils, invigorating ice massages, wet sheet wraps and other treatments and treatment combinations designed to fit your individual health needs.
