        Reflexology
        
Reflexology is a
        gentle and deeply relaxing ancient practice that works on
        the feet and hands, enabling the body to heal itself.
        
        
        Following illness, stress, injury or disease, the body is
        in a state of "imbalance", and vital energy pathways are
        blocked. Reflexology can be used to restore and maintain
        the body's natural equilibrium and encourage healing.
        
        
        Tiny deposits and imbalances in the feet can be detected,
        and by working on these points the reflexologist can
        release blockages and restore the free flow of energy to
        the whole body. Tensions are eased, and circulation and
        release of toxins is improved.

        Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is
        the therapeutic use of plant-derived, aromatic, essential
        oils to improve physical and emotional well-being.
        
        
        All essential oils have unique healing and valuable
        antiseptic properties which can be used to improve health
        and prevent disease. Oils can be anti-viral,
        anti-inflammatory, pain relieving, anti-depressant,
        stimulating, relaxing, support digestion and have diuretic
        properties too.
        
        
As well as
        inhalation of essential oils, Aromatherapy works by
        absorbing essential oils into the skin and blood stream.
        An aromatherapy massage
        is a
        great way to reap the benefits of the application of
        essential oils along with the soothing therapeutic benefits
        of massage.
