EARS: Ear Acupuncture

FOR STRESS AND ANXIETY MANAGEMENT – Protocol Level 1

Ear acupuncture or Auricular Acupuncture has a long history of us in China (over 5000 years).  It uses microsystems that refer to the stimulation of nerves in the outer ear using very fine sterile needles.  The resulting neural stimulation is thought to cause beneficial changes in the brain to improve wellbeing.

Ear Acupuncture can be used as a stand alone treatment or along with reflexology which I offer.  It is thought ear acupuncture works by affecting nerve impulses and the central nervous system. It seems to have a beneficial effect on health of some individuals who sometimes report an improve feeling or wellbeing, sleep and relaxation.

It is a quick and simple treatment, using very fine single sterile disposal needles,  up to about 5 needles are placed in each ear for about 30-45 minutes.  (people suffering with diabetes only up to 2 needles are used).  You have the choice of either sitting or lying down to rest and relax.  The treatment requires no removal of clothing, (only earrings) to be able to access the ears.  It is best to make sure you have eaten before a treatment. 

After the session has finished you are advised to minimise stimulating products (such as caffeine) and avoid heavy exercise.

FACE: Facial Reflexology

The far Eastern countries such as Japan and China have used this method for a very long time, however it was Vietnam where the main developments were made in the 1980’s.  The method of Dien’ Cham has its roots in a technique developed by Prof. Bui Quoc Chau and a team of doctors, research scientists and acupuncturists in Ho Chi Minh City which he named ‘Facytherapy’.  ‘Facytherapy is based on traditional oriental medicine, however is it not the same as Chinese Medicine facial acupuncture.  ‘Facytherapy uses over five hundred as opposed to only thirty in acupuncture.

Dien’ Cham technique is limited to fifty seven points on the face, identified and numbered according to a fictive grid and restricted to a few projection systems of the body on the face, showing the various reflex zones.

FACE: Facial Bellabaci Cupping

In the East, the Chinese have been practicing the art of cupping for at least three thousand years.  Also with Tui Na massage, acupuncture and herbs, cupping forms part of the traditional bodywork or physiotherapy system of Traditional Chinese Medicine.  Cupping is applied to the acupuncture points to relieve the stagnation of Qi and blood, both locally and in the organ(s) activated by the point.  In the West, cupping therapy had its birth in Egypt.  The Ebers Papurs, written around 1550 BCE, sates that bleeding by wet cupping removes foreign matter from the body.  In cupping the ancient Egyptians saw the remedy for just about every disorder.

The ancient Egyptians passed the art of cupping to the ancient Greeks then from there to the Romans, through the Alexandrains and Byzantines, cupping was then passed onto Arabs and Persians.

The benefits of facial cupping are

• Increased blood flow to boost collagen formation, leading to diminished wrinkles 
• Active ingredients of the products used will penetrate deeper, increasing results. Excess fluid will drain faster relieving under eye bags and puffiness
• A deeper cleanse will be achieved, removing comedones
• Broken facial capillaries will vanish as fresh blood will remove the de-oxygentated debris (however around the nostrils maybe difficult)

FEET: Reflexology

There have been references to working on the feet, hands and ears in many civilisations throughout history. An early Egyptian tomb drawing depicts what looks like a modern day Reflexology session and the fact that it was found in the Physician’s tomb, Ankmahor at Sappara around 2500B.C.   There are also early indications (ancient texts, artefacts, etc.) of health foot care in various forms in countries such as India, China, Japan and Europe too.

It is widely acknowledged in the UK and is recognised by the NHS, GP’s and hospices as a viable non intrusive complementary therapy. Reflexology is based on the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet, hands, ears and face which correspond to all of the organs, glands, and parts of the body. Stimulating these reflexes properly can help many health problems in a natural way. Reflexology should not be confused with massage.

Reflexology is a holistic therapy where the reflexologist uses her hands to apply pressure techniques to specific points on the feet, hands, ears or face called reflex points. These reflex points directly relate to all areas of the body that are mapped out in the respective areas.

Reflexology works by rebalancing the body allowing the body to work more efficiently and restore its equilibrium.

It is a gentle therapy that is suitable for all ages from babies to the elderly and terminally ill.

Many people turn to reflexology at times of stress but have also found they benefit for many other conditions including:

·  Breathing Disorders

·  Circulation Problems

·  Digestive Disorders

·  Headaches, Migraine

·  Mental Health Issues

·  Muscular, Joint and Skeletal Pain – Back, Neck,        Sports Injuries etc.

·  Skin Problems

·  Sleep Disorders

·  Womens Health – Hormonal Imbalances, Fertility     Issues, Pregnancy

Over 75% of health problems can be linked to nervous stress and tension; reflexology treatment relieves stress and tension and restores vitality. Suitable for people of all ages, from babies to the elderly, for pregnant women and those undergoing chemotherapy.

Reflexology is a unique modality in the health field. Its purpose is not to diagnose any specific medical disorder, but to promote better health and well being.

FEET: Hypnotherapy Reflexology

An unique combination of hypnotherapy and reflexology  which is a useful for relaxation and relieve stress.  With the added benefit of a light hypnotic trance to really allow your subconscious mind to clear blockages, thoughts, emotions to enhance the healing process.  Our minds and body are linked and with the positive suggestions that hypnotherapy can achieve the effects can be dramatically increased.

The hypnosis enables a more relaxed state than would otherwise be possible, allowing the subconscious part of the brain (associated with creativity, memory and emotion) to be activated and the conscious part to be relaxed. The conscious part of the brain is associated with logic and analysis and it is here where all the negative thoughts and blockages to do with the healing process are. The hypnotic trance allows us to by-pass these thoughts and work only with the positive.

FEET: Crystal Reflexology

Crystal Reflexology works in the same way as a standard reflexology session but with the integration of crystals to enhance the treatment and give greater results. 

It can be a gentler treatment that uses a crystal wand as opposed to the therapists thumb or finger. Minimal pressure is applied as the crystals energy works the reflexes and therefore this treatment would suit anyone, including those that find standard reflexology too painful or uncomfortable.

 As well as working on the foot reflexes, all the main energy centres (charkas) which are located along the inner side of the foot, are rebalanced. Crystals are also placed on and around the body and areas of imbalance are cleared. 

When the use of crystals is combined with the Reflexology session, the whole treatment is enhanced considerably. Many clients who find it difficult to relax or switch off, have found that they have a much deeper experience when the crystals are used.

HEALING: Crystal Therapy

During a session of crystal therapy, crystals may be placed on the body, around the body or under the couch. This is mostly a “hands off” therapy where healing energies are then transmitted through the crystals. This is a very relaxing treatment and balances the energy field of the Client.

Different crystals have different energies and can be used for all types of conditions. They are excellent for relieving stress in all its forms and balancing the energies of the body. They can be used to energise the body and to bring calm and peace of mind. Many clients report a general feeling of well being after a crystal treatment.

During the session, the client will remain fully clothed lying on a couch. Details will be taken regarding any ailments or problems either physical or emotional that the client may be experiencing. I then “tune in” to the client and receives information on which crystals to use. A crystal pendulum is also used to detect energy blockages in the body. The crystals are then placed on the body, around the body or under the couch. The crystals can also be used on the body or above the body to draw out pain or clear stuck energies. The experience is usually very relaxing and creates a calming effect.
