What can Reflexology and the Ionic Foot Spa help you with?
By applying pressure to certain points of the feet through Reflexology, particular organs, nerve endings and energy pathways are stimulated to promote health. By triggering the parasympathetic nervous system, anxiety is reduced which helps stop the fight-or-flight response, and allows the body to heal. It is very effective in pain relief, as tension is taken out of the body and stress reduced, so pain is also reduced.
An ionic foot spa’s main purpose is to make your body’s pH levels more ‘alkaline’ which is crucial for your good health as diseases thrive in an acidic body.
The foods you consume have either acidic or alkalising properties. The more of the higher alkaline food you can incorporate into your diet the better. An ionic foot spa, helps to facilitate the alkalisation process through the process of ionisation, which removes “free radicals” from the body. Other scientifically measured effects of this type of foot spa include lower blood sugar levels and lower cholesterol levels. This is great for people who know they need some help balancing their pH levels.
*Not for people who have pacemakers, implanted organs or metal implants, are pregnant, have epilepsy, are haemophiliacs, who have wounds on their feet or severe varicose veins on their feet and ankle. Anyone who has a metabolic disease (thyroid, renal, liver), acute surgical conditions or recent replacement surgery is advised not to use the ionic foot spa.
A
salt foot spa is wonderful for increasing
circulation and softly exfoliating dead skin and reviving your feet. It helps
in relieving itchiness caused by Athlete’s Foot or other fungal infections. It
also reduces inflammation and soothes tired, aching feet and muscles.
An aromatic foot spa of your choice:
Modere's stress release formula has the calming aroma of bergamot, frankincense, geranium, patchouli and rosewood. The oils in this
Eucalyptus is an excellent immune-stimulant and is good if you are feeling tired, run down, and prone to frequent colds. It can help to relieve aches and pains. (avoid if you have high blood pressure, suffer from epilepsy, or are pregnant).
Lavender is known for its wound healing properties and can help to control foot odors..
Peppermint essential oil is helpful in purifying the skin, increasing circulation,
and promoting new cell growth. Its cooling effect can keep the feet feeling
refreshed and invigorated all day long.
Sweet Orange essential oil has a zesty refreshing scent and helps to uplift and refresh your senses.
Once your feet are soaked and feeling
rested, you will then settle back while your soles, heels, toes, ankles and
calves are given the attention they deserve to the sounds of gentle healing
music. Your stresses and aches will melt away while your soles and soul emerge
totally rejuvenated.
