HOPI EAR CANDLING WITH FACE AND NECK MASSAGE

The Ear Candling treatment is gentle and relaxing, the lit candle creates a chimney-effect, the slowly burning bees wax impregnated linen structure, allows warming vapours to circulate around the ear canals, softening hardened wax and equalising the pressure in the ear. The linen candle is also impregnated with St John’s Wort, Chamomile, Beta-Carotene (Vitamin A) and Sage, giving anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, astringent and antidepressant benefits. As part of the treatment a facial/neck massage is given.

Reflexology during midlife
As we enter the middle years of our lives, we face many different situations, work pressure, redundancy, parenting, the breakdown of a relationship, any one of these can lead to stress. At times, experiencing a short term, stressful situation can be rewarding and fulfilling, however, being constantly stressed will affect how we function and can lead to digestive, respiratory, or muscular problems for example. Reflexology has been found to be very beneficial in helping to reduce stress and stress related illnesses eg irritable bowel syndrome, migraine, neck and shoulder pain.

During a treatment of just over an hour, Reflexology encourages deep relaxation and gives a sense of wellbeing. All systems of the body are worked on. Stimulating the circulatory system boosts the blood supply to the brain and can help with memory function, thinking and reasoning. The immune system may strengthen, helping to fight infections and a balanced endocrine system is essential for our emotions, moods, energy, sleep patterns and to lessen the effects of menopausal symptoms like night sweats and hot flushes.

Reflexology in later life
In later life we experience wear and tear of our systems and organs eg. digestive, heart, lungs, stomach, bowel, muscles bones/joints, bladder. All systems, organs and glands have reflex points in the feet and all areas will be stimulated in a treatment to restore a natural balance. For example reflexology has been found to increase blood and lymph circulation, to the brain this will aid memory retention and recall; and in the legs and feet will help to nourish tissue and reduce fluid retention. The immune system may strengthen, helping to fight infections and a balanced endocrine system is essential for our emotions, moods, energy, sleep patterns.

Keeping active and healthy in later years will help to maintain independence and social interaction and help to avoid social isolation. Reflexology has also been effective for people suffering from depression brought on for example by social isolation or bereavement.

During a treatment, Reflexology encourages deep relaxation and gives a sense of wellbeing and all you have to take off are your shoes and socks!
