Colon Hydrotherapy

60 minutes: $90

Colon hydrotherapy is the safe, gentle infusion of warm, filtered water into the rectum using no chemicals or drugs. This is a restorative, painless procedure which is both relaxing and effective. The individual lies comfortably on a custom treatment table and the therapist gently inserts a small speculum into the rectum. The therapist then monitors the temperature and pressure of the water infused into and out of the colon (large intestine) without any assistance on the part of the individual. The colon hydrotherapy method cleanses the entire colon without stressing the individual. This method utilizes a closed system in which waste material is eliminated through the instrument and out of the drain line, avoiding any offensive odor and maintaining the dignity of the individual.

Colon hydrotherapy is an extended and more complete form of an enema. The enema’s cleansing activity is limited to the area of the rectum and to shorter periods of time due to the body’s natural inclination to expel any material from the rectum. The colon hydrotherapy method extends beyond the rectum to cleanse the entire large intestine and offer greater cleansing and therapeutic benefits. Enemas or laxatives may precipitate dehydration in the individual
while colon hydrotherapy improves the hydration of the individual.

Benefits of Colon Hydrotherapy

  • Good health is as much a function of our elimination status as the quality of food we ingest.
  • Consider that over $400 million dollars are spent annually on laxatives in the Unites States.
  • Every year, 140,000 Americans are diagnosed with colon-rectal cancer. Of this
    population, 44% will die as a result of the disease.
  • Colon cancer is the second leading cancer killer in the U.S., following lung cancer in men and breast cancer in women.
  • At least two million suffer from colitis, iletis, or diverticulitis;
  • 100,000 Americans have a colostomy a year.

Periodic cleansing of the colon could prevent stagnation and minimize the exposure of cancer-causing agents to the colon wall. Colon hydrotherapy has a dissolving and therapeutic effect on the large intestine, whereby waste material, such as feces, gas, mucus, and toxic compounds are removed. The result is a cleaner, healthier colon and an improved overall health status.

Frequency of Treatments
An initial series of between three to six treatments is recommended. Years of improper nutrition cannot possibly be reversed in a few treatments. more treatments may be required in cases of chronic constipation or atonic (sluggish) colon condition. Following the initial program, it is advisable to have a series of treatments every three to six months to maintain optimal colon health.

Lymphatic Drainage

60 minutes: $70

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy aims to gently and rhythmically move the lymph through the body, especially swollen areas of the body, relieving pressure and enhancing the functioning of the immune system. As both a preventative and remedial technique, LD can be used for a wide range of purposes including faster recovery from injury, reduction of swelling and discomfort from pregnancy, and strengthened resistance to illness.

Structural Integration

60 minutes: $85

Structural integration employs soft tissue manipulation with the goal of realigning the body in relationship to the force of gravity. The theory underlying structural integration asserts that often the body's connective tissue is "bound up," thus restricting opposing muscles from working independently of one another. Thus, we aim to loosen the restricted connective tissue by using a practice very similar to deep tissue massage. Practitioners typically prescribe a specific sequence of ten sessions lasting between 75 and 90 minutes in order to "unlock" the whole body.

Deep Tissue Massage

60 minutes: $70

Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.

Reflexology

60 minutes: $70

Reflexology is a type of bodywork that focuses on applying pressure to the specific nerve zones in your feet. Unlike other foot massages that intend to mostly relieve tension in the feet themselves, reflexology is a far more in-depth science that aims to harmonize your entire body. According to reflexology, every part of the human body is mapped into your feet. Reflexology treatments have been found to be highly effective for conditions such as allergies, headaches, and depression.

IonCleanse Foot Bath

45 minutes: $40

Ion Detoxification with IonCleanse®
The IonCleanse® purifies the body effectively and faster than any herbal fasting products, with little
or no stress to the patient. Detox Footbath purifies the body through the electrolysis of the water. Relax with your feet in water for about 30 minutes. Healthy individuals can expect to feel lighter and experience a greater sense of well being from each IonCleanse® session.

How the IonCleanse® Works
AC electricity is converted to low power DC electricity which flows through a patented electrode system that sits in the footbath. The electricity and the metal combine to split the water molecule into H+ and OH- ions. These ions travel through the body, neutralize oppositely charged particles and through powerful osmotic pressure pull those neutralized particles out of the body through whatever skin surface is in contact with the water.

An ion is a charged atom that has gained or lost an electron which creates a magnetic field capable of attaching to and neutralizing oppositely charged particles. These neutralized particles are extracted from the body through the process called osmosis. Osmosis is a scientific term that is used to describe the movement of particles through a membrane from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration. In this case, the higher concentration refers to the ion field that is set up by placing the array into the water while running the unit.

The array is placed into the water alongside the hands, feet, or body while the power supply delivers a low level direct current to the array. This causes the metals within the array in combination with water and salt to generate positively and negatively charged ions by separating oxygen and hydrogen in the water.

The practitioner determines the polarity setting through the use of litmus paper (pH strips) or muscle testing. We speculate that ions generated by the IonCleanse® travel through the body attaching themselves to a multitude of toxic substances, thereby neutralizing their positive or negative charge. It may be possible to reduce pain and other symptoms caused by a lifetime of toxic buildup in the body (assuming the symptoms are caused by toxic buildup). The long-term effectiveness of the IonCleanse® detoxification process depends on other life-enhancing changes a person is willing to make.

According to Dr. Theodore Baroody, author of “Alkalize or Die”, acid wastes attack joints, tissues, muscles, organs, and glands causing minor to major dysfunction. He asserts that avoiding disease and maintaining vitality, as we age, requires the maintenance of an alkaline environment throughout the body – which is virtually impossible to accomplish in our high-tech, high-stress, toxic society, unless we can walk on the beach everyday.

The Ion Cleanse® creates precisely the same environment as the walk along the beach, only more powerfully because your feet are in direct contact with the ions being manufactured in the water. Place your feet in the water, turn on the unit and within seconds, millions of ions enter your body and begin to neutralize these tissue acid wastes. A water molecule is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. When the molecule loses a hydrogen atom, the remaining OH molecule takes on a negative charge. As you walk along the beach, your body absorbs millions of these negatively charged ions, which alkalize the blood and tissue. The particles, fat, and mucous residues found in the water after bathing reflect the wastes that have left the body during the 20 to 30 minute session.

Your body will feel lighter after the first session. You will think more clearly, have more energy and enjoy a greater sense of well-being.

 

Ear Candling/Coning

45 minutes: $45

Ear candling is a natural remedy for ear infections, Candidia, fungus growth, ear aches, and other ear ailments. A cone or candle is used to create a spiral flow of smoke, heated air, and herbs into the ear canal.

Benefits of Ear Candling

  • Common ear wax buildup muffles hearing for many.
  • Yeasts, allergies or just wax buildup can be removed from the ear canal regularly to restore hearing, relieve tension or pressure in the ear, and sometimes relieve other symptoms not consciously connected with the ear condition.
  • Removal of excessive wax allows better hearing, usually immediately.

 

Some common ear ailments treated naturally with ear candling include:

  • Candidia, which can cause a mold/yeast allergy which in turn causes itching inside the ear.
  • “Swimmers Ear” is quite often caused by growth of bacteria in the ear along with ear wax, which prevents water from clearing from the ear.
  • Ear aches can be caused by mucus blown into the ear from the Eustachian tube. Ear candling will quite often release the pressure and relieve the pain of ear aches.
  • The moist, warm, dark conditions in the ear cause fast growth of parasites and other organisms. If excess ear wax blocks the ear, it can cause pressure buildup.

 

How Ear Candling Works
The spiral of the cone causes the smoke to be pulled down into the ear canal. This causes the ear to warm up and loosen the wax and other material. As it heats up, the candle causes a suction effect by creating a vacuum in the ear canal. Air is drawn up from the Eustachian tube into the middle ear then through the porous membrane out into the outer ear. The heat and the vacuum draw out the wax and other materials from the ear canal into the base of the candle. As it burns down, you will hear a lot of cracking and hissing, which is the sound of the wax being removed. The warmth feels soothing and relaxing during the process. Ear oil placed in the ear after candling with cotton to cover will protect from further infections from bacteria, yeasts, and other factors.Herbal blend: Our ear candles have been treated with a formula created by a Master Herbalist. Ingredients include: sage, chamomile flowers, burdock root, jojoba, rosemary leaves, periwinkle, quassia bark and yucca root. This herbal blend is formulated to calm, soothe and relax. It’s designed to oxygenate and strengthen the brain, fortify the nervous system, clear the eyes and ears, and purify the blood. It has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antibiotic, and antibacterial properties.

Far Infrared Sauna

30 minutes: $30

Detoxification

Sweating is the body’s safe and natural way to heal & stay healthy. Near infrared sauna benefits the body by heating it directly causing a rise in core temperature resulting in a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level, where toxins reside.

Relaxation

Unlike traditional saunas which operate at extremely harsh temperatures, infrared is a gentle, soothing and therapeutic heat that promotes relaxation and improved sleep. Infrared sauna benefits include therapy that helps you relax while receiving an invigorating deep tissue sweat, leaving you fully refreshed after each session.

Lower Blood Pressure

Infrared saunas induce a deep sweat to make the heart pump faster, which in turn increases blood flow, lowers blood pressure and helps circulation. Scientific evidence shows using an infrared sauna a couple times a week lowers blood pressure.

Skin Purification

The near infrared wavelength (sometimes referred to as Red Light Therapy) is the most effective wavelength for healing the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin. Near infrared treatments stimulate collagen production to reduce wrinkles and improve overall skin tone.

Cell Health

Near infrared therapy stimulates the circulatory system and more fully oxygenate the body’s cells. Better blood circulation means more toxins flow from the cellular level to the skin’s surface to improve cell health, aid in muscle recovery and strengthen the immune system.

Weight Loss

Studies have shown that benefits of an infrared sauna session can burn upwards of 600 calories while you relax! As the body works to cool itself, there is a substantial increase in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate, causing the body to burn more calories.

Pain Relief

Infrared heat penetrates tissue, joints, and muscles to relieve anything from minor aches and pains to chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia. Pain management professionals incorporate infrared heat therapy into treatment plans to decrease pain and muscle spasms and to speed up recovery time.

Improved Circulation

Heating the muscles with infrared rays produces an increase in blood flow similar to that seen during exercise. Regular infrared sauna use-especially in the mid infrared range-can significantly stimulate blood flow up to twice the normal rate.

Wound Healing

Scientific research has concluded that near infrared therapy greatly enhances the skin’s healing process by promoting faster cell regeneration and human tissue growth. Human cell growth increases to repair wounds and prevent infection.
