Cupping
Cupping Therapy is an ancient Chinese form of alternative medicine in which a local suction is created on the skin. This increases blood flow in order to promote healing from tight muscles.
The modern form of cupping is with a pump that creates a vacuum inside of it. Cupping therapy can reduce pain and inflammation throughout the body. It can also promote mental and physical relaxation and well-being.
*Please note that possible suction marks may occur and be left on the skin for up to a week.
Reflexology
What Is It?
Reflexology is a focused pressure technique, usually applied at the feet or hands. It is based on the premise that there are zones and reflexes on different parts of the body which correspond to all systems, glands, and organs of the entire body.
How Does It Work?
When the reflexes are stimulated the body’s natural electrical energy works along the nervous system to clear any blockages in the corresponding zones. A reflexology session breaks up deposits which may interfere with this natural flow of the body’s energy.
Manipulating specific reflexes removes stress, which activates a response in the body enabling stress and natural chemicals to be released by a physiological change in the body.
Benefits of Reflexology
– Relaxation with the removal of stress
– Enhanced circulation
– Assists the body to normalize metabolism naturally
– Complements all other healing modalities
Reiki
Reiki is an energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch. Reiki practitioners use their hands to deliver energy to your body, improving the flow and balance of your energy to support healing.
Mikao Usui developed reiki in the early 1900s, deriving the term from the Japanese words rei, meaning “universal,” and ki, which refers to the vital life force energy that flows through all living things. Now, reiki is used all over the world, including in hospitals and hospices, to complement other forms of health treatments.
Reiki promotes relaxation, stress reduction and symptom relief to improve overall health and well-being. It can:
- Bring on a meditative state.
- Foster tissue and bone healing after injury or surgery.
- Stimulate your body’s immune system.
- Promote natural self-healing.
- Relieve pain and tension.
- Support the well-being of people receiving traditional medical treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and kidney dialysis.
Studies show that reiki treatment may create feelings of:
- Peace.
- Relaxation.
- Security.
- Wellness.
