Reflexology is based on the principle that all the systems of the body are mapped out in reflex points on our feet/hands and ears. Through massage and specific pressure techniques applied to the feet/hands or ears a state of deep relaxation is created in the body, interrupting the pattern of stress and allowing it to tap in to its innate self healing abilities. This allows the restoration of balance to the body and its systems where there is imbalance, while simultaneously facilitating essential de-stressing for the recipient. Acupuncture is part of a system of health care called Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Traditional Chinese Medicine is one of the oldest surviving medical systems in the world, it originated in China over 2000 years ago and is recognised by the World Health Organisation (WHO) to be the second most widely used system of health care alongside Western Medicine. The underlying principle behind TCM is that Qi or vital energy flows through our body in pathways or channels known as meridians. Pain or illness occurs when this Qi or vital energy is blocked and is unable to flow freely within these meridians, signifying that the body is out of balance. Acupuncture works to restore and maintain the body’s natural balance by stimulating its own healing response. It aims to treat the whole person, so it can be effective for a wide range of problems – physical, mental and emotional. Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage is the ancient Ayurvedic form of head, neck and shoulders massage which has a profound effect on the whole body. It is also used to stimulate or sedate the nervous system and is excellent for relieving migraines. If you tend to carry your tension in the upper back, neck and head, then this treatment will really help to free that tension, clear the head, focus the mind and allow the body to come back into a lovely state of homeostasis.
