Reflexology
Reflexology is an ancient, holistic treatment which can be traced back to the Egyptians in 2230 BC.
When the mind, body and soul are in harmony, we are less likely to develop disease.
Reflexology deals with the principle that there are reflexes on the hands and feet that correspond to and reflect the body parts (e.g. the left foot is for the left side of the body). By working on these reflexes (or zones), the therapist can unblock a zone and in turn promotes healing within the body causing a state of homeostasis (balance).
Some problems that can benefit from reflexology:- Migraine
- Congestion
- Relaxation
- Insomnia
- Stress related conditions
- Circulatory problems
- Irritable bowel syndrome
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
The lymphatic drainage system is the waste disposal unit of the body and if not working properly is prone to ill health and unable to fight infection effectively. The early signs may be tiredness and poor skin condition as the toxins are trying to find another way out. It is therefore important that the lymphatics are working well.
This is a rhythmic massage technique that encourages the stimulation of the lymphatic system and elimination of toxins (poisons in the body).

A key advantage to using Neem, as opposed to some medical treatments and other herbs, is its compliance with the first tenant of the Hippocratic Oath taken by all physicians: "First, cause no harm." Over thousands of years, Neem has been used by hundreds of millions of people and no hazards have been documented for normal dosages.
From almost the very beginning of recorded human history, people have taken advantage of the remarkable neem tree. Even before ancient herbalists discovered the analgesic qualities of the willow tree -- from which aspirin is derived -- people used branches, fruit and leaves from the neem to cure many illnesses. Its medicinal qualities are outlined in the earliest Sanskrit writings and its uses in Hindu medicine date back to very remote times. Even today, rural Indians refer to the neem tree as their "village pharmacy" because it cures diseases and disorders ranging from bad teeth and bedbugs to ulcers and malaria.
