One of my favorite benefits! 🦋 Proven through study, infrared saunas improve skin complexion and feeling while increasing collagen. 🤩

Did you know ancient doctors used 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙪𝙖𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙞𝙚𝙨 as a major part of their medicine? Herbs, exercise, and massage were all common treatments of disease and maintenance of health in Greece, Rome and China. 🌿

Because our skin is one of our main detox pathways

Because our skin is one of our main detox pathways (as well as our biggest organ) + sweating happens through the skin, infrared saunas encourage your body to eliminate toxins! Consistent sweating = consistent detoxing. 👏🏼

▪️What is the main difference between this and hundreds of other foot baths?! 𝙄𝙩 𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙣𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙮, unlike 99% of others on the market today.

▪️The scientific studies on THIS particular cleanse are so amazing that it’s taken me a day to compile them into a blog post. 🤯 For now, swipe for a few personal testimonials shared by parents whose autistic kids 𝙖𝙡𝙡 noticed amazing differences in ATEC (autism treatment evaluation checklist) scores post-cleansing. 🙌🏼

The link to this study and others can all be found in my blog post linked in my bio. 🤗 🎉🥳

Did you know I use @doterra’s essentials oils in my sessions?! 🥳 Here are a few of my favorites for pain relief👇🏼
⠀⠀
❄️ For ACUTE pain (e.g. sprains/tears) use COOLING oils. 𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙙𝙤 𝙄 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖 𝙘𝙤𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙞𝙡 𝙞𝙨? If you were to place it on your skin or mouth, it would create a chilling sensation. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙚𝙭𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙘𝙤𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙞𝙡𝙨?👇🏼
⠀⠀
• Aromatouch blend 💧
• Peppermint 🌱
• The “blue” oils 💙
- Deep Blue blend, Blue Tansy, Blue Chamomile
⠀⠀
🔥 For CHRONIC pain (e.g. arthritis, plant fasciitis) use WARMING oils. 𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙙𝙤 𝙄 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖 𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙞𝙡 𝙞𝙨? If you were to place it on your skin or mouth, it would create a warming sensation (these should always be used with a carrier oil!). 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙚𝙭𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙞𝙡𝙨?
⠀⠀
• Cinnamon 🔥
• Cassia 🧡
• Copaiba ‼️
• OnGuard blend (surprisingly!) 💯
• Cedarwood ♨️
• Sandalwood 🔆

The best way to remember this 👉🏼 you always use an ICE pack for acute injuries and HEAT for chronic ones. 👍🏼

This is just a helpful guide; it doesn’t have to be a black and white list, and there are many other oils not listed here that may help with symptom relief. Experimenting 𝙨𝙖𝙛𝙚𝙡𝙮 with a carrier oil (coconut, almond, jojoba) is the best way to know what works for you. 💜

THE STUDY: According to a clinical trial on those with chronic back pain, there was a 𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙩 reduction in the intensity score through the use of cupping therapy ‼️
⠀⠀
MY EXPERIENCE: I can confidently say it’s one of the only at-home treatments that gives me 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙛 from my own pain + tension patterns 🙏

I’m a firsthand witness! 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ Rough, uneven skin is instantly softened, smoothed, and toned post-cupping! 🤩 Some even claim it may reduce or help prevent cellulite 👀

I once was a staunch “no decorating for Christmas until after Thanksgiving” girl, but that all went out the window this year. 🤷🏻‍♀️ And I must say my waiting room never looked merrier. 🌟🤩🎄🥳

Who else has their Christmas tree up already?!👇🏼

Excerpt from my blog linked in bio . . .

“According to the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, our health and well-being (immune system 🌿) rely totally on the MOVEMENT of blood 🚴🏻, negatively-charged frequencies (found in nature 🍁), and body fluids (hormones, lymphatic fluid, etc.). 💆🏻‍♀️💆🏻‍♂️
⠀⠀
Their belief is ALL PAIN is due to stagnation of one or all of these systems. ⭐️
⠀⠀
If this is true, in order to reverse 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯, you must reverse 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.
⠀⠀
#Cupping does exactly that!” 🤩

CUP KISSES — what are they?!
⠀⠀
Firstly, they are ❌ NOT ❌ bruises! Bruising indicates damage, hurts to the touch, and fades to a greenish blue. Cup kisses- or marks- indicate purged stagnation, generally never hurt to the touch (you probably won’t even know they’re there!) and naturally fade back to your original skin color.
⠀⠀
They are a result of static blood, lymph, and environmental toxicity being moved from the deeper tissues to the surface. This creates a space for oxygen, living cells and nutrients to flood the affected area, encouraging faster recovery and healing from the inside out! ✨
⠀⠀
This is one of the best pain relievers + detoxifiers that you can add into your Deep Tissue, Integrated, or Manual Lymphatic therapy sessions. 💥

SWIPE FOR PICTURES 👉🏼
⠀⠀
I currently have one wellness space available for another like-minded therapist that includes sharing a large, furnished waiting area in northern #travelersrest at the foot of the lovely Blue Ridge Mountains. This space would be best for an herbalist, physical therapist, reflexologist, acupuncturist, craniosacral therapist, iridologist, etc. I’m seeking to partner with someone who wants to be a part of a Christian-based wellness center, as well as expand their clientele base. I know the modalities in holistic healthcare are ENDLESS, so you may specialize in something completely new to me, which is right up my alley 😊
⠀⠀
It is my mission and vision to offer the highest quality massage therapy, essential oils, education, and Christian-based healthcare possible in upstate South Carolina and beyond.
⠀⠀
Please feel free to message me for a tour 💛☺️
