This stimulates the lymphatic vessels that carry substances vital to the defence of the body, and removes waste products.

Lymph drainage is used primarily to promote the optimal functioning of the lymphatic vessels that lead to the circulatory system. Lymph drainage techniques facilitate the removal of metabolic wastes, excess water, toxins, bacteria, large protein molecules, and foreign substances from tissue via the initial lymph vessels and the venous capillaries. Read more >>

Ear Candling Is a method that removes ear wax and "toxins" from a person's ear. It involves placing a hollow candle in the ear canal and lighting it.

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.

Ear Candling is used for:

• Excessive or compacted wax in the ears
• Irritation in ears and sinuses
• Pressure regulation in cases of : sinusitis / rhinitis / glue ear / colds / flu / headaches / migraine
• Stimulation of local and reflex energy flow
• Energetic revitalisation in cases of hearing impairment
• Relaxing and calming effect in cases of stress
• Noises in the ears, ringing, tinnitus.

Allow 1/2 hour for your appointment.

The Biofeedback Electro-Stimulation Technology (BEST) device generates electric impulses that are physiologically similar to neurological impulses generates by C nerve fibers, which are embedded in most tissues and consist of 85% of all nerves found in the body, and also on ‘fast’ pain blocking A fibers ‘ C’ fibers are responsible for slow diffuse pain, but more importantly the nerve endings secrete neuropeptides which are capable of blocking pain perception via signalling the brain. ‘A’ fibers are responsible for fast sharp pain.

The BEST device alters the perception of pain in the nerves by signally the brain. It increases the amount of neuropeptides around the cells which help to reduce pain, inflammation and promote healing.

The BEST device also increases the production of nitric oxide (NO) which plays an active role in many physiological processes such as vasodilation, neural function, inhibits platelet aggregation, wound healing, intermittent claudication and reduces inflammation. (Mainly used in conjunction with massage treatment).

Can be beneficial for:

• Muscle tightness, pain and inflammation
• Joint Pain
• Carpal tunnel
• Tendonitis, bursitis
• Fibromyalgia
