Massage
Massage therapy is one of the oldest healthcare practices known. References to massage are found in ancient Chinese medical texts written more than 4,000 years ago. Massage has been advocated in Western healthcare practices since the time of Hippocrates, the "father of medicine."
The healing touch of a trained massage therapist is a valuable tool for general well-being. Since massage therapy connects the mind and body through pressure points, it can help to build new associations for pleasure and relaxation in the brain. Massage therapy offers benefits for many physical and mental conditions and can alleviate many symptoms at once. Researchers found that massage therapy affects the body’s production of certain chemicals that control stress levels and mood Massage therapy produces higher levels of dopamine and serotonin and it can help restore an individual’s natural chemical balance. Individuals who receive regular massages gain the most benefit, especially if they are looking for a healthier alternative to pharmaceutical treatment. Massage therapy produces several reactions in the body and mind and offers the following benefits: * Releases and flushes the build-up of toxins * Improves circulation * Helps sleep patterns * Reduces blood pressure and heart rate * Increases lymph flow and the activity level of the body’s disease-fighting cells * Improves back and neck pain * Reduces anxiety * Relieves stress and tension * Produces an overall sense of wellbeing

Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils extracted from plants for healing. Essential oils are comprised of numerous chemical constituents, with each chemical having a particular signature and mode of action.
Their modes of action and therapeutic properties have proved to be effective on humans, and we can use essential oils to affect our physical and emotional health in various ways. There are over 100,000 aromas found in nature, but as humans we can recognize only about 300 of these. It is through receptors in our sinuses (the olfactory bulb) that lead to the limbic system of the brain that corresponds to our emotions and feelings. When we inhale aroma molecules, we have a direct path to our emotions and memories. That is why when you smell certain aromas, such as a cake baking in the oven or a soup pot on the stove it can bring you back to a different place and time. You have effectively experienced aromatherapy! This is a very simple example for a very complex healing art. Essential oils are most administered aromatically via inhalation and topically via absorption through the skin. Many essential oils are antiviral and antibacterial and can be used in diffusers to help fight cold and flu infections as well as relieve congestion. Essential oils with nervine properties can be used to calm anxiety, release tension, soothe headaches, and alleviate sleeplessness. ​ The stimulating effect of some essential oils can be used to energize the mind and body, improve mental focus and memory, and relieve mental fatigue.

Reflexology
Reflexology is considered an alternative treatment for physical, mental and spiritual conditions due to its documented success in stress reduction and positive effects to the central nervous system.
Reflexology treatments are based on ancient Chinese medicine that vital energy flows through the body along paths advocates refer to as meridians. The balance in the body is maintained as long as the energy flows freely, but is lost when the flow is blocked, resulting in imbalance and related stress. Other parts of the body can be restored, and healed from disease, through the application of pressure and massage to the hands and feet attempts are made to detect subtle points of tension. Specific bodily, muscular and organ functions are stimulated and promoted through the application of acupressure and massage-type techniques to particular points which has been demonstrated to have stress-reduction qualities for those treated, as well as positive benefits for the central nervous system in general. Reflexology has many health benefits: Relaxation Improvement in sleep pattern Enhances general well-being Increased blood circulation Eliminates toxins from the body Boosts metabolism & energy levels Reduces headaches
