Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a component of the health care system of China that can be that can be traced back at least 2,500 years. The general theory of acupuncture is based on the premise that there are patterns of energy flow through the body that are essential for health. Disruptions of this flow are believed to be responsible for disease.
Acupuncture may correct imbalances of flow at identifiable points close to the skin. The stimulation of acupuncture points employs penetration of the skin by thin, solid, metallic needles, which are manipulated manually or by electrical stimulation
Aromatherapy Massage
Aromatherapy massage is massage therapy but with highly concentrated plant oils, called essential oils, added to the massage oil or lotion. The nostrils are attached to a part of the brain called the limbic system. The limbic system controls emotions and influences the nervous system and hormones. When you inhale essential oil molecules, messages are transmitted to the limbic system and affect heart rate, stress level, blood pressure, breathing, memory, digestion and the immune system. Essential oils are believed to be absorbed through the skin. Each essential oil has different healing properties.
Aromatherapy massage is particularly suited to conditions involving stress or improving emotionally related conditions, headaches, digestive disorders, premenstrual syndrome and back ache.
Bio Resonance Feedback
Bio Resonance Feedback is a non- invasive therapy which involves placing electrodes on your skin. The electrodes are connected to a SCIO machine which checks the energy wavelengths coming from your body and then counteracts bad frequencies by restoring the optimum balance.
The SCIO is a safe device and scans the body in the same way that a virus scan runs on a computer, looking for deficiencies, viruses, weaknesses, allergies and dysfunctions. Based on this, a unique health plan is devised for you and therapy commences right away, which means that you feel the benefits almost immediately.
Biofeedback is very safe and has a feedback loop which zeros in on your resonance pulse and sends back an alternate pulse to which your body responds to rebalance functions.
