Spa Terms
assage therapy is the systematized manipulation of soft tissues for the purpose of normalizing them. The basic goal of massage therapy is to help the body heal itself and to increase health and well-being. Massage improves circulation, which increases blood flow, bringing fresh oxygen to body tissues. This can assist the elimination of waste products, speed healing after injury, and enhance recovery from disease. Massage is basic to professions such as Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy.
Aromatherapy is the usage of herbs and fragrant essential oils to promote health. Essential oils enter through our olfactory system and affect the nervous system, thus improving mood and relaxing or energizing us. Aromatherapy helps in alleviating stress and speeding up healing. Many of these oils have known anti-viral, antifungal and antiseptic properties.
Energy Healing (Qi gong, Reiki, and Pranic Healing). Scientific evidence provides tangible proof of the existence of the energy body and its relation to the health and well-being of the physical body. Experiments in Kirlian photography have revealed that diseased energies appear first in the energy body before manifesting as a physical ailment. Further experiments have produced dramatic evidence that a person's thoughts and emotions substantially affect the color, brilliance, and vitality of his energy body. Energy Healing is not intended to replace modern medicine. Rather, this ancient healing methodology is intended to complement conventional medical practices as well as other alternative healing methods.
Acupressure was developed in Asia over 5,000 years ago as a healing therapy that utilizes fingers to depress key locations on the skin's surface to prompt healing within the body. Similar to acupuncture, which is already recognized by WHO, acupressure uses the same reference points on the body that release muscular stress; thus encouraging better blood circulation. Acupressure is very beneficial as it can relieve pain and bring the body back into harmonious balance. Acupressure's healing ability promotes stress reduction, improves circulation, relaxes the body and strengthens the immune system. |
