Reflexology Defined

Reflexology is the practice of applying pressure to the feet and hands utilizing specific thumb, finger and hand techniques based on a system of zones and reflex areas that reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands with a premise that such work effects a physical change in the body.

What are the benefits of reflexology?

Research has shown the specific techniques of reflexology to be effective and beneficial in many ways. A survey of 170 reflexology studies from 21 countries shows that reflexology is effective, impacting a variety of physical and psychological concerns.

Reflexology:

· Creates relaxation:                                                                                          
The moment the reflexologists hands start their work, the relaxation begins as shown in research using EEG brain activity. All together, 24 studies demonstrate reflexologist’s relaxation effects.

· Reduces pain:                                                                                                      
Pain reduction following reflexology work is documented in 27 studies including research showing impact on individuals of all ages and health states

· Ameliorates health concerns:                                                                           
Research shows that reflexology work helps individuals of all ages with some 78 health concerns ranging from aggressive behaviour in children to urinary concerns of the elderly.

· Improves blood flow:                                                                                                 
Separate studies show that reflexology work increases blood flow to the feet, brain, kidneys and intestines.

· Aids post-operative recovery:                                                                     
Reflexology work aids recovery after surgery as shown by several studies, reducing pain and lessening the use of post operative analgesics.

· Impact on physiological measures (e. g. blood pressure and cholesterol;

· Enhances medical care:                                                                               
Reflexology helps where nothing else can for many: phantom limb pain sufferers, neuropathy patients, and haemodialysis patients to name a few.

· Benefits mental health:                                                                             
Research demonstrates that reflexology can reduce depression (11 studies) and anxiety (9 studies).

·  Complements cancer care:                                                                             
Pain, nausea, vomiting, and/or anxiety eased for chemotherapy patients following reflexology work as shown by 16 studies from 7 countries.

·  Eases pregnancy, delivery and post-partum effects:                                      
Women who received reflexology experienced shorter labour times and used less analgesia. In addition, reflexology showed a positive impact on postpartum depression, anxiety, urination and bowel movements.

In general terms, the benefits of reflexology have to do with the reduction of stress. Because the feet and hands help set the tension level for the rest of the body, they are an easy way to interrupt the stress signal and reset homeostasis, the body's equilibrium.

Reflexology is a complement to standard medical care. It should not be construed as medical advice. It should not be a replacement to medical help. Please use it wisely. We care about your safety.

Manual Lymph Drainage

In some instances, this process breaks down, and the system doesn't work very well. This can be caused by a lack of physical activity in the limbs, surgery (particularly breast cancer, and heart bypass surgery), physical injury, and in some very rare cases by parasitic infection within the lymphatic.

Lymphatic drainage massage is a modality designed to aid the flow of fluid through the lymphatic system, and draining it away from the limbs, towards the body.

This massage action is very gentle and is done in a rhythmic, pumping action. It is not deep at all.

Who can benefit from Lymph Drainage

·                     As part of a Detox program (Dieting or treating cellulite)

·                     Pre and Post operations

·                     People suffering from poor blood circulation

·                     During pregnancy to treat swollen feet.

·                     Treating heavy, swollen legs

·                     Poor immune system

What is RegimA?

POTENCY, PERFECTION, SIMPLICITY, COST EFFICIENCY, and SAFETY

Working synergistically with the aim of skin treatment, restoration, rejuvenation and anti-ageing. RegimA is a cosmeceutical focusing not only on AESTHETICS but SKIN HEALTH.

RégimA is the most advanced, medically accepted, skin care programme created to attack the ageing free radicals and toxins associated with modern living.

We are not just talking 'normal' cosmetics which may feel nice, smell nice and keep the skin hydrated, that is just moisturizing outer dead skin.

How does RégimA work?

·         Many skin problems are associated with excessive build-up of dead cells, making the skin hardened and dull. Problems are exacerbated by exposure to the sun, pollution and other environmental effects, leading to skin damage and disease. RégimA follows a rule of 'Peel & Heal” and is instrumental in restoring, rejuvenating and preserving.

·         We do not believe in just peeling the skin, one must repair and restore at the deeper skin level. However, one always has the fear that one is going to thin the skin. The SECRET is always within the formulation and the RégimA 'Peel & Heal' cannot be compared to any other peeling product. We gently, gradually remove the outer dead layer of skin and work down to the dermis (the living layer). The formulation then stimulates collagen production. In essence RégimA 'Peel & Heal' is thickening and re-elasticizing the skin.

·         RégimA home care benefits from Natural, time dependent fruity acids, Lactic Acid from milk and Malic Acid from apples. These are the most skin friendly, have less irritating effects than certain other acids and achieve maximum effect. These products have a low pH (acidity) that is essential in achieving perfect skin penetration, (something pH balanced products cannot do) working gradually through the outer dead layer to the basal, living layer of skin. Stimulates cell renewal as well as helping collagen production, re-elasticizing the skin naturally. The Natural acids do not work any deeper than the basal layer and there is definitely no long term thinning of the skin and no other long term side effects. Other exciting, safe, natural, acids are used within certain RégimA in-rooms/in-salon treatments. The hibiscus flower acid is the most biodegradable natural acid that exfoliates and smoothes the most sensitive skins without adverse reaction. RégimA combinations of acid increase cell turnover and stimulate collagen synthesis.
