Benefits of Arnica

What is Arnica?

The perennial Arnica grows from 0.3 to 0.6 m. Oval-shaped, opposite leaves form a basal rosette close to the soil surface. Arnica has bright yellow, daisy-like flowers that, when dried, are the primary parts used. However, the roots and rhizomes are also utilized. Arnica is native to the mountainous regions of Europe and southern Russia.
Uses
Sprains, bruises, and swelling due to fractures. Insect bites – Homeopathic Arnica can help treat insect bites and stings, especially those that may lead to intense bruising and soreness. It’s important to visit a site like https://www.pestcontrolexperts.com/local/connecticut/westport/ if you have an insect infestation in your home. You may get bitten by insects while you are on the go, but if you have bed bugs or mites in your home then you are more at risk of getting bitten. Arnica can help reduce the inflamation of a bite that you may have encountered as the result of a household pest.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage

What you should know before booking a deep tissue massage

Deep Tissue massage is designed to relieve severe tension in the muscle and the connective tissue or fascia. Masseuses will use these deep tissue massagers to help target and eliminate pain that other types of massages wouldn’t be able to help with. This type of massage focuses on the muscles located below the surface of the top muscles. Deep tissue massage is often recommended for individuals who experience consistent pain, are involved in heavy physical activity, such as athletes, and patients who have sustained physical injury. It is also not uncommon for receivers of Deep Tissue Massage to have their pain replaced with a new muscle ache for a day or two.

Deep tissue work varies greatly. What one calls deep tissue another will call light. When receiving deep tissue work it is important to communicate what you are feeling, and to choose a respectable masseuse. For example, when looking through spas in austin, focus on the ones who have experts in deep tissue massage.

How does deep tissue massage work? When there is chronic muscle tension or injury, there are usually adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue) in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Adhesions can block circulation and cause pain, limited movement, and inflammation. Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down these adhesion to relieve pain and restore normal movement. To do this, the massage therapist often uses direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles.

Will deep tissue massage hurt? At certain points during the massage, most people find there is usually some discomfort and pain. It is important to tell the massage therapist when things hurt and if any soreness or pain you experience is outside your comfort range.

There is usually some stiffness or pain after a deep tissue massage, but it should subside within a day or so. If you frequent massages, you may want to consider getting something like cbd massage oil wholesale for the recovery process. The massage therapist may recommend applying ice to the area after the massage. If you are experiencing muscle pain due to a sporting injury and previous massages haven’t alleviated any pains, look into services like sports medicine clinic Seattle as well as other locations.

What conditions is deep tissue massage used for? Unlike classic massage therapy, which is used for relaxation, deep tissue massage usually focuses on a specific problem, such as:
  • Chronic pain limited mobility
  • Recovery from injuries (e.g. whiplash, falls, sports injury)
  • Repetitive strain injury, such as carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Postural problems
  • Osteoarthritis pain
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Muscle tension or spasm

According to the August 2005 issue of Consumer Reports magazine, 34,000 people ranked deep tissue massage more effective in relieving osteoarthritis pain than physical therapy, exercise, prescription medications, chiropractic, acupuncture, diet, glucosamine, and over-the-counter drugs. Deep tissue massage also received a top ranking for fibromyalgia pain. People often notice improved range of motion immediately after a deep tissue massage.

I feel so privileged to have such a caring and talented staff at Le Reve. Our Massage Therapist are absolutely exceptional. So whether you are needing a relaxing or a deeper more therapeutic type of massage Le Reve has you covered. Be sure to check out our tweets because every week I tweet a special Spa Offering and you could get a 1 1/2 hour massage for the price of a 1hour.
See you at the spa!

Sound Therapy

Written by Le Reve Day Spa on . Posted in Health, Massage, Sound Healing, Spa Offerings, The Le Reve Team, Uncategorized

Tuning Forks for Sound Therapy

Like tuning an instrument your body can be tuned as well. Tuning your body can help you achieve optimal physical health balance. The resonance from tuning forks have the ability to bring your nervous system, muscle tone and organs into harmonic balance. The alteration of your body’s biochemistry is effective immediately and who doesn’t want an immediate effect from their spa treatment.
Your body enters a deep state of relaxation. Feeling centered, your mind will be at peace. 
Why are people using tuning forks with massage?
Improves mental clarity and brain function 
Increases you level of physical energy and mental concentration
Relieves stress by drawing your body into a centered space
Integrates left and right brain thought patterns
Brings your nervous system into balance
Enhances massage, acupressure, dream work, and meditation
Develops and refines your sonic abilities
Specially tuned to sacred proportions, you sit inside the space bringing two different sounds together making them one—and you feel unified, at peace, re-igniting the passion and power deep inside you. When you tap the tuning forks, you awaken the life energy of your cells and start them puffing, creating a centered, happy feeling inside.
How Tuning Forks Are UsedWhen you strike a tuning fork however, you’ll notice how it causes the air around the fork to vibrate, sending out very strong vibrating impulses through the air. Because of this, they have been adopted by healers who use them to increase the amount of energy on parts of the body they are trying to heal.All you do is strike a fork and place it near any body part you wish to heal. They are also used in energetic healing, for example, by putting them in the vicinity of the different chakras or energy centers located along the spine. These energy centers also just happen to be where the nerve centers are found along the spine that send impulses to the different organs, so by energizing these areas, you stimulate the organs into greater health-giving activity.
Ultimately…
Tuning Fork Sound Therapy is a powerful, non-invasive healing modality that uses sound vibration to re-harmonize and attune the human energy field. It has been used successfully to treat a wide variety of conditions by unblocking or releasing energy disturbances inside and outside the body. 
The vibration of sound has many effects on both the conscious and the unconscious levels invoking emotional responses. The power of sound can energize, uplift, and relax. Body Tuning is an effective way to align your inner rhythms and achieve optimal health and well-being.
Here at Le Reve we do have a massage therapist that does specialize in using tuning forks if you would like to try this technique you can call us at the spa 805-564-2977 and ask to book and appointment with our service provider Karen. 
Hope to see you soon!
