A Time for You

Sound advice from the Tisserand institute. I don’t usually buy any oils from a shop either, especially if the bottles are just displayed on a shelf.

Good Morning,
I would just like to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported me over almost 21 years!
I'm often asked by my clients whether I have put my prices up yet, as they know that I like them to be affordable so that a treatment doesn't have to be a rare treat. To that end, I have not had an increase since 2022 and some of my clients have put their prices up themselves!
In the light of this and the increase in the cost of living generally, there will a small increase from 1st September as shown below.

This is very interesting.

🧠 Scientists have discovered a remarkable way to double the brain’s waste clearance system—not with drugs or surgery, but simply by massaging the skin.

A team from the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has shown in mice that gently stimulating the lymphatic vessels under the skin of the face and neck can dramatically boost cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow. This process helps flush out toxins and waste products from the brain, including harmful proteins linked to Alzheimer’s disease. Using a specially designed mechanical stimulator, researchers restored CSF drainage to youthful levels in aged mice, suggesting a safe, non-invasive strategy to improve brain health.

Even more exciting, the study mapped previously unknown drainage routes from the brain to superficial lymph nodes through facial lymphatics—pathways that remain active even in older animals. This discovery completes the anatomical picture of CSF outflow and hints at future wearable or clinical devices designed to enhance brain cleansing.

While more research is needed before human applications, this gentle mechanical approach may open the door to new therapies aimed at preventing or slowing neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Only 2 days until I close my treatment room door for Christmas. I would just like to say thank you to everyone who has supported me this past year. I am so pleased that you have followed me across to A417 to our new home.
