| Aromatherapy, Reflexology, Manual Lymphatic Drainage - Helping with the winter blues |
Christmas is over, the weather is freezing and many of us are carrying a few extra pounds. We’re all thinking about diets, so a good way to start is by having a Manual Lymphatic Drainage treatment, which is a great way of de-toxing.Manual Lymphatic Drainage is an advanced therapy involving a range of specialised and gentle rhythmic pumping techniques, working over connective tissue and stimulating lymph flow. It therefore helps to strengthen the immune system and can also be useful at this time of the year to prevent illness. Both Aromatherapy and Reflexology treatments are also good for boosting the immune system. There are numerous essential oils that are beneficial for the immune system such as lavender, tea tree, eucalyptus, rosemary, lemongrass and frankincense. Some are antibacterial or antiviral, while others have an antibiotic effect or build up the white cells, which help to fight off infection. Some of these oils can be combined in a lovely, relaxing Aromatherapy massage. Tea Tree is a particularly good essential oil to use in a burner at home or have in your bath when there are colds about. Reflexology is a method of activating the healing powers of the body through manipulation of the feet and is a great way to boost the immune system and balance the body. It is also a very relaxing treatment. If you book an Aromatherapy massage, Manual Lymphatic Drainage or Reflexology treatment with Frances Box in January, you can have a second treatment for half price. |
