Holistic Therapies explained…
Holistic Therapies have been around for thousands of years and were commonly used in ancient Egypt, China, and India for their therapeutic effects. Holistic means Care for the whole person, mind, body and spirit.
MIND: Our mind is our brain. It is also the part of us that thinks, that is logical, the part that works things out through thought.
BODY: Our body is our physical shell.
SPIRIT: Spirit is the hardest to define. It is the part that makes us who we are, the part that expresses our uniqueness and the origination of our feelings.
Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage is a form of massage therapy that has its roots in the ancient Ayurvedic healing system and has been practised in India for thousands of years.
Through a variety of different techniques, the massage works on the energy centres of the head, neck and shoulders to release built up tension. It does so by applying pressure to certain points on the neck, shoulders and head that correspond to each Chakra (energy centre) – which is a similar approach to that of reflexology.
This helps to unblock the Chakras, and allows for a free flow of energy around the body, restoring the individual to optimum health and feelings of wellbeing.

Earache
Headache

Reflexology
What is reflexology?
Reflexology is a form of bodywork that involves applying pressure to the feet to produce changes in pain and other benefits elsewhere in the body.
How Does Reflexology Work?
The underlying theory behind reflexology is that there are certain points or “reflex areas” on the feet and hands that are connected energetically to specific organs and body parts through energy channels in the body.
By applying pressure to reflex areas, a reflexologist is said to remove energy blockages and promote health in the related body area. Here are some examples of reflex areas and their corresponding body parts:
• The tips of the toes reflect the head
• The heart and chest are around the ball of the foot
• lThe liver, pancreas, and kidney are in the arch of the foot
• Low back and intestines are towards the heel
Why Do People Get Reflexology?
People have used reflexology to address these conditions:
• Stress and stress-related conditions
• Tension headaches and migraines
• Digestive disorders
• Arthritis
• Insomnia
• Hormonal imbalances
• Sports injuries
• Menstrual disorders, such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
• Digestive problems, such as constipation
• Multiple sclerosis
• Back pain
NOT SUITABLE FOR:
Patients with foot fractures
unhealed wounds
active gout in the foot
Patients with osteoarthritis that impacts the foot or ankle, or those with vascular disease of the legs or feet, should consult with their primary provider prior to beginning reflexology on the feet.

The holistic approach to health differs from the conventional medical approach in that it takes into account the whole patient rather than just focusing on the symptom or the part that has the problem.
Holistic therapists believe that the body has a vital force or life energy. It is this force that protects the body from disease and allows it to heal. We often refer to it as the “immune system“. When the balance of the immune system is disturbed we the see the various symptoms of dis-ease.
Holistic therapies aim to help the patient restore the balance, thus allowing the body to heal itself naturally. We have numerous holistic therapies available at JM MediSpa ensuring there is something suitable for everyone.
