TREATING THE HEAD, FACE, TRUNK, LIMBS

This workshop is a multi-level approach and focuses on four interrelated areas and syndromes where dysfunctions occur.:

• TOXICITY
• CIRCULATION / LYMPHATIC FLOW
• IMMUNE SYSTEM
• INFLAMMATION ( inside/outside )

First ,the theory of circulatory / lymphatic disorders are examined from a Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective . Secondly, a hands – on approach is used where the modalities of a. acupressure b. essential oils c. cupping and c. manual lymphatic drainage ( Vodder style ) are used in sequence . In addition visceral manipulation is used on organs like the Spleen ( the largest lymphatic gland) The result is a synergistic blend that is systemic and HOLISTIC in the outcome. Results are deep and long-lasting because many physiological systems , like, the endocrine system and not just the muscular or circulatory system get addressed.
