HOLISTIC TREATMENTS

Holistic comes from the Greek word 'Holos' which meaning whole. An holiistic approach means that not Just the symptoms, but the whole person is treated; emotional, mentally and physically.

The body will be encouraged to heal itself, by addressing the cause of the problem rather than suppressing the symptoms with chemical or foreign agents. This way, unwanted side-effects will be avoided, and the healing process will take place gradually and with longer-lasting effects.

Holistic Treatments are available in Italy during free-time at the Retreats

Reflexology is the ancient art of foot massage which activates the healing powers of the body. The principle of Reflexology is that there are channels of energy which run throughout the body. Every important organ and muscle is linked to a tiny part of the foot by an intricate network of nerves where the energy terminates.

Reflexology has been successful in healing many acute and chronic conditions, including tension headaches, allergies, insomnia, migraine, arthritis, digestive problems, heat and circulatory problems, hormonal problems and many stress-related conditions.

Children respond particularly well to Reflexology and can help childhood problems such as asthma, eczema, catarrhal problems and hyperactivity.

Reflexology can be used as a single treatment for relaxation, a course of treatments to alleviate established disorders, or a monthly treatment as a form of preventative health care.

Hopi Ear Candle Treatment:

Half hour €40

Thermal Auricular Therapy (also known as Hopi Ear Candles) is a pleasant and non-invasive treatment of the ears, used to treat a variety of conditions such as sinusitis, rhinitis, earwax, earache, and irritation of the ears including tinnitus. It is also a treatment for headaches and migraines. It is not suitable for those with perforated eardrums, where grommets are used and inflammation of the ears. It is a safe and gentle treatment for children.

This is an ancient and natural therapy handed down by many civilisations. It is believed that the Ancient Greeks used ear candles, initially probably for cleansing, purifying and healing on a spiritual basis, but much later on a purely physical basis.

The candles work on a chimney principle, drawing any impurities to the surface where they can be gently removed. They equalise the pressure in the head and ears, making them suitable for most conditions. Secretion flow is gently stimulated and the vapour collects and removes impurities or deposits. Most of these are carried away through the candle "chimney", although some of them can be found in the condensed candle wax residue after removal from the ear, or could even work their way up to the surface 24-48 hours after.
