Facial Reflexology Benefits

Facial reflexology, the ability to manipulate the energy points of the face for healing purposes is an ancient form of treatment. It has made its way through history starting in India and slowly disseminating out into other countries.

Currently, facial reflexology is becoming more popular here in the United States as people are becoming more aware of its many benefits. One of which being that there are no negative side effects to this form of treatment because it only works on stimulating your body to heal itself!

There are numerous health benefits associated with facial reflexology including migraine relief! Aside from improving sleep quality, promoting healing, and removing toxins from the body, facial reflexology boasts a wealth of beauty benefits. The motion of the movement helps to work the facial muscles and release muscular tension, resulting in a younger, radiant glow and firmer, plumper skin.

The movement also improves the flow of lymphatic fluid, which aids in the removal of toxins. Facial reflexology can be used to reduce puffiness around the eyes, increase suppleness and elasticity of the skin, soothe sunburns, ease sinus pain, and improve complexion.

Using facial reflexology techniques stimulates both physical and emotional wellbeing by calming the nervous system promoting feelings of relaxation, decreasing stress levels, and infusing a sense of empowerment while encouraging freedom from negative thoughts. The technique promotes self-love by increasing awareness and acceptance of oneself; it is an excellent alternative therapy for those who suffer from stress or depression.

Facial reflexology is based on the premise that every point on our faces corresponds with all other parts and organs in your body. By using tools that work along meridians and focal areas mapped out on the face, a practitioner will balance the yin and yang energy in your body by way of your face.

People who are trying to quit smoking will see the effects of facial reflexology in as early as three sessions. This is because smoking causes your face to become numb and it tends to diminish sensation, this therapy helps regulate endorphin production which will help you get back that feeling in your mouth and relieve stress you may be experiencing from withdrawal symptoms. Some other benefits of facial reflexology include provides relaxation to both the body and mind, increased blood circulation, stimulation of the lymphatic system, soothes away aches and pains, chronic tension can cause grey hair; this therapy prevents it by stimulating the entire glandular system.

Each facial reflexology treatment is as unique as the person receiving it. In other words, don’t even try to anticipate your treatment. What happens during a session also depends on the practitioner, their method, and tools they decide to employ.

When you are ready to balance your body and its processes through the face, it may result in a more efficient system all allows you to rest and reset. Call Precision Wellness today to book your appointment!

What is a Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Lymphatic drainage massage is a type of massage therapy, where your therapist will apply pressure to the lymph nodes in different parts of your body to help move the lymphatic fluid. You might have heard about it by other names such as lymphatic drainage or simply called ‘lymph massage’. It has also been referred to as manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) .

This type of treatment can help with: swollen glands, blocked ducts in breasts, abscesses in teeth and gums, infections, weakened immunity, sinus infections, brain fog, chronic fatigue, even digestive issues.

There are many approaches to help get the lymph fluid flowing again, such as starting to move (exercise), avoiding sitting or standing for extended periods of time, dry brushing, eating a more “clean” diet, incorporating red raw foods like beets, cherries, cranberries, pomegranate, berries, and simply breathing and laughing!

But if you want to get a great lymphatic massage, we have therapist that specialize in Lymphatic Drainage Massage!

Massages involve some sort of therapeutic touch. Unlike a traditional massage like Swedish and Deep Tissue massage, lymphatic massage focuses on using feather-light pressure and circular movements no greater than the pressure it would take for your finger to move skin. Most massages focus on the skin, muscles, and joints while LD massages focus in a concentrated manner to one area or quadrant of the body to clear the body’s lymphatic system. For the lymphatic system to run smoothly it is important that cells, proteins and fluid move through the body’s network of lymph vessels, nodes, glands and organs. Since the lymphatic system doesn’t have a pump like our heart does for blood, you need to help it move by your movements in order for it to function properly. This technique assists the movement of muscle fluids back into circulation where they are filtered through the lungs or kidneys before returning to general body circulation.

The lymphatic system transports waste materials out of tissues back into the bloodstream so that they can be eliminated when we urinate or defecate.  A healthy lymphatic system also provides defense against infections because white blood cells migrate throughout the tissues in the body.
