Lemongrass – Traditionally considered an excellent overall physical tonic. An effective skin toner that can open pores. It is said to boost the parasympathetic nervous system which hastens recovery from illness. The essential oil is stimulating and invigorating, It is helpful for treating symptoms of jet lag, clearing the head and relieving fatigue.

DETOXIFYING SCRUB:  Eliminate toxins and smooth your skin…

Ravensara – Traditionally used for cases of edema, it stimulates the drainage of toxins. Recommended as an immune stimulant. Ravensara is used as both a tonic for the nerves, and as a remedy for physical, nervous and mental fatigue. Strongly antiviral. There is no more useful essential oil for combating the flu. 

Palma Rosa – Traditionally, Palma Rosa is very effective in blends for treating various skin conditions as it helps balance production of sebum, thus being useful for both extremely dry and oily skin. A strongly anti-infectious oil, as well as being anti-fungal. It is said to aid in the release of anger and grief.

Patchouli – Traditionally used to tone and tighten the skin, and is used in many anti-wrinkle products. Regulates oily skin and dandruff. It is known to be useful in combating cellulite. Patchouli is an effective anti-inflammatory for the skin, helpful in healing cracked or inflamed skin, acne, dermatitis, and eczema.

CALMING SCRUB:  Relieve stress, restore your skin tone, and balance your spirit… 

Roman Chamomile – Traditionally used for its sedative and pain-relieving properties. Wonderfully calming and stress-relieving. Useful for combating menstrual cramps. Effective for insomnia and headaches brought about by stress and tension. Helpful for inflamed joints and muscle and joint pain.

Rose Geranium – Traditionally used for bruises, cuts, ulcers, broken capillaries, dermatitis, and its anti-inflammatory properties. It is believed to balance sebum (making it the oil of choice for combination skin) and to keep the skin smooth and  supple. Thought to bring an overall sense of balance when used in aromatherapy. Used to alleviate problems with menopause and menstruation. 

High Altitude Bulgarian Lavender – Traditionally used for its anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and, possibly, anti-viral properties. Lavender functions as an adaptogen, aiding in restoring the body and the spirit to balance. This particular variety of lavender has a heady, floral aroma, with much less of the bright green and camphorous smell of lesser-quality varieties.

Benefits of Oxygen Therapy

Exercise With Oxygen Therapy super oxygenates the blood, colon, liver, and body tissues. Large quantities of oxygen in the body assist with the elimination of old toxic waste from the colon, liver, blood, brain, and entire cellular structure. Oxygen is known to destroy viruses, harmful bacteria, fungi and parasites, which enables the immune system to flourish.
 
During exercise, breathing higher oxygen levels provides an immediate increase in strength, endurance, and energy. Burn more calories in the same 15, 20 or 30 minute workout!

Optimizing the Body’s Elimination and Detoxification Pathways

The elimination of toxins has been considered  a mainstay of wellness for centuries. And, it’s really much simpler than is sounds. Here are a few ways to optimize your body’s natural detoxification:

1. Promote Daily Bowel Movements by drinking plenty of water and eating fiber (plant material); use enemas and colonics as necessary.

2.  Use Saunas for Detox… (unless you doctor advises otherwise). Fat tends to hold onto toxins, and it has been shown that regular saunas, help to detoxify and improve health.

3. Healthy Foods Help to Detoxify the Body… the key to detoxification is through lifestyle… exercise, drinking plenty of pure water, and eating foods that promote the elimination of toxins… fruits, vegetable, nuts, and seeds. Try to eat at least 51 percent raw each day. Raw, living foods are packed with nutrients and are easy to digest, providing your body with energy and the power to detoxify.

Ann Wigmore, the founder of the Living Foods Lifestyle, felt that dis-ease is the result of toxins that have built up in the body and a lack of proper nutrients. And, she taught that “Living Foods” are important to achieve and maintain wellness because they are packed with nutrients, easy to digest, and aid in detoxification.

Massage Therapy Reduces and May Even Eliminate the Effects of Stress

“The Consequences of Stress… Experts estimate that 80 percent to 90 percent of disease is stress-related. Massage and bodywork is there to combat that frightening number by helping us remember what it means to relax. The physical changes massage brings to your body can have a positive effect in many areas of your life. Besides increasing relaxation and decreasing anxiety, massage lowers your blood pressure, increases circulation, improves recovery from injury, helps you to sleep better and can increase your concentration. It reduces fatigue and gives you more energy to handle stressful situations. Massage is a perfect elixir for good health, but it can also provide an integration of body and mind. By producing a meditative state or heightened awareness of living in the present moment, massage can provide emotional and spiritual balance, bringing with it true relaxation and peace.The incredible benefits of massage are doubly powerful if taken in regular “doses.” Dr. Maria Hernandez-Reif, from the Touch Research Institute (TRI) at the University of Miami, is known for her massage research, along with colleague Tiffany Field. Together, they and other researchers have done outstanding work proving the value of massage. While their studies have shown we can benefit from massage even in small doses (15 minutes of chair massage or a half-hour table session), Hernandez-Reif says they know from their research that receiving bodywork 2-3 times a week is highly beneficial. And if we lived in a fantasy world, Hernandez-Reif has the answer. “I feel a daily massage is optimal.”It’s undoubtedly a wonderful thing when your therapist begins unwinding those stress-tightened muscles, and your day’s troubles begin to fade away. But it’s the cherry on top to know this “medicine” only gets better with frequency.”

What is Lymphatic Drainage Massage?

Having a proper functioning lymphatic system is necessary for our body to drain stagnant fluids, detoxify tissues, remove toxins and foreign substances, and maintain a healthy immune system. Lymph vessels rely on the muscles to contract and cause lymph to flow. Lymph circulation can become hindered or stopped and lymph fluid stagnant due to surgery, fatigue, stress, and aging.

Lymphatic massage is designed to attain and help sustain proper functioning of the lymphatic system.  It involves gentle use of pressure to aid in the recirculation of body fluids and may help with:

  • ~Reduction in swelling
  • ~Detoxification of the body
  • ~Regeneration of tissue
  • ~Relief of inflammation
  • ~Immune system stimulation
  • ~Relief of chronic pain
  • ~Deep relaxation
  • lymphatic

  2. *After a sports event to help normalize tissues and reduce inflammation
  3. *During training to assist the athlete with training and avoiding injury
  4. *At any time to aid in rehabilitating an injury
