Higher Holistics

Drink plenty of Water

During any holistic treatment toxins are released into the circulation. 

Increased water consumption helps the body to remove these toxins from the body

Avoid alcohol and caffeine

Alcohol and caffeine are stimulants and contain many toxins.

Introducing more toxins may lead to headaches, nausea and lethargy. 

Eat light meals

A light meal requires less blood to digest it. 

This allows the circulation to continue its job of feeding the muscles that have been treated and removing toxins for elimination.

Avoid strenuous exercise

For the same reasons as above, you should refrain from strenuous exercise after a holistic treatment. 

The body is already working hard to remove toxins. Use this time to enjoy the sense of relaxation instilled in you during the treatment. 

Go home, make a cup of herbal tea or grab some water, put your feet up and relax!

Do not have any other holistic treatments for 24hrs

Some treatments don’t work well together.  Allowing 24 hours between treatments enables the body to rebalance and recover.

This time allows the healing process to take place before the body undergoes more therapy. 

Respect your body and enjoy the moments after treatment.  Healing takes time!

Special notes regarding Aromatherapy Massage

Please avoid exposing the skin to sun or sunbeds especially when lemongrass, lemon, orange or bergamot oils have been used.

Leave the oils on the skin for as long as possible to allow them to work.   Avoid using bath oils as these can interfere with the effects of essential oils.
