Fire Cupping
Fire Cupping is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that uses heat and suction to increase blood flow and relieve pain and inflammation while promoting overall health and balance. During your session, the therapist will place special glass cups on specific areas of your body to enhance blood circulation and facilitate the drainage of lymph and waste. This increased flow of healthy cells, combined with the elimination of dead cells and waste, can aid in the healing process.
Each session begins with an assessment of your health and well-being to tailor the treatment to your individual needs. Clients typically receive therapy while lying on a massage table. The experience includes a relaxing massage with organic oil.
To perform the cupping, the practitioner heats the air inside special glass jars using a flame. This creates a vacuum and negative pressure when the jars are applied to the body. This technique can be beneficial for various conditions, including anxiety, depression, migraine headaches, allergies, high blood pressure, asthma, and chronic pain.
It is important to note that Fire Cupping can leave temporary marks on the skin, known as cupping marks, which may last for several days. These marks are not bruises, and there is no damage to the skin or underlying tissues during the therapy.
While fire cupping can offer numerous benefits, it is not suitable for everyone. It is essential to consider contraindications to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the therapy:
Skin Conditions: Fire cupping should not be performed on broken or irritated skin, sunburns, or skin with open wounds or active infections.
Pregnancy: Pregnant women should avoid cupping on the abdominal and lower back areas to prevent potential complications.
Blood Disorders: Individuals with bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia, should refrain from cupping due to the risk of increased bleeding.
Medication Use: Cupping may interfere with blood-thinning medications, so it is crucial to consult with a healthcare provider if you are taking such medications.
Reiki
During a session, a Reiki practitioner lightly places their hands on the person, to direct energy and help the body heal itself. Clients receive the therapy while resting on a massage table, wearing loose comfortable clothing.
Useful for trauma and grief recovery, reducing pain, improving mood, increasing circulation and energy flow, and supporting physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
Reiki explained
"Reiki is a spiritual healing art, a natural method for promoting well-being. Reiki helps your heart remember what it has always known but temporarily forgotten due to the distractions of daily life. It is not Reiki that heals; Reiki accelerates healing by helping you consciously discover your innate resources. Reiki is primarily a stimulus for awakening; it works extensively on a spiritual level, on feeling, on awareness dynamics, and on Presence."
Ionic Foot Baths
The Ionic foot bath treatment is a unique therapy based on the research of Dr. Royal Rife. Our body is challenged by an increase of chemicals creating more auto-immune diseases, allergies, and common infections. Toxins and chemicals can get stored in the body’s joints, organs, arteries, nerves, and tissues, disrupting their ability to function and thus creating an environment for disease, allergies, and immune system breakdown.
Some researchers have found that most toxins (mucus, fat, Candida, heavy metals, parasites, and various bacteria) are positively charged when they reside in the body, and attracted to the negative field of the ionic foot bath water, exit through the approximate 2000 pores in the feet. These are not proof of any particular ailment or condition; rather, it is a cleansing process.
While you are relaxing, the water will immediately start to change color as millions of ions enter your body and begin to neutralize tissue acid wastes. The color change and sediment you see in the water is produced by the ionization interaction of the current flow, the metal in the array, and the toxins in the water and body. Negative and positive ions attract toxins and are released from the body via OSMOSIS. This is a very effective way of cleansing the body from heavy metals and other toxins. Following a treatment, the body will continue to detoxify for up to 48 hours. It is important to drink plenty of water before, during and after treatment to help eliminate these toxins.
The benefits of those receiving treatment have shown increased:
Circulation and ATP production
Increasing energy levels by balancing the body’s energy meridians
Nutrient absorption
Reduction of pain and arthritic joints
Relief from allergic reactions & calming of eczema
Sense of well-being and vitality
The ionic foot bath treatment is never the same for any two people and this means that quite different results may be experienced by people suffering from what appears to be comparable symptoms.
This is because the symptoms may be caused by different underlying conditions.
Ionic foot baths are contraindicated for people who have battery-operated implants (i.e., pacemakers), who are organ transplant recipients. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should also avoid this treatment.
