Natural therapies are becoming increasingly popular, and are widely used to compliment traditional medicines and treatments.

Most natural therapies are holistic in their approach, in that they treat the body as a whole and get to the cause of the problems, rather than simply treating the symptoms of a problem, which is common in western medicine.

Reflexology

This is the traditional massage of the feet using a finger and thumb technique. The belief is that certain areas of the feet have reflexes which correspond to all the organs and parts of the body. Reflexology not only relieves the patients’ symptoms by promoting good health, but it also stimulates the blood circulation, reduces stress levels and encourages relaxation.
This treatment takes one and a half hours for the first visit and one hour for subsequent visits.

Hopi Ear Candles

The Hopi tribe of North American Indians, developed a way to cleanse their ears and sinus’ using ear candles. The candles are hollow and when lit at the top end a chimney effect is created drawing the wax and impurities out of the ear. This is a natural alternative to syringing, and it is far more pleasant and relaxing. The treatment takes about half an hour, and should ideally be repeated about every 3-4 months.

Reiki

This form of hands on healing originating in Japan uses the power of energy transferred through the practitioners body by light touch, or holding the hands over the body of the patient. The bodies’ energy can often become unbalanced in our hectic 21st century lives, and Reiki helps to rebalance this energy by working within the bodies’ aura. Reiki heals emotionally, spiritually and physically and allows one to float away into a time and place of ones own to relax and unwind.
This treatment takes between one to one and a half hours to complete.

Indian Head Massage
