After your treatment these few simple steps may help to aid or enhance the benefits;
Rest is important to your body. It not only allows the body time to repair itself, but helps you to recover from the stresses and strains of everyday life - read a book, have a warm bath, meditation, yoga, gentle exercise.
Eat a light, healthy, well balanced diet.
Fluids are an essential part of life. They aid the body in all its primary functions. Try to increase the amount of water that you drink following your treatment as this helps the body to cleanse itself and to detoxify. Aim to reduce caffeine consumption and avoid alcohol consumption for 24 hours.
Listen to what your body is telling you. If you feel tired, rest. If you feel thirsty, drink. It is amazing what you may actually hear.
Exercise tones the muscles and increases circulation and elimination. Five minutes of gentle exercise can be enough to release endorphins into the body. These have been shown to improve mood and to give a general feeling of well-being.
Get some fresh air. However it is best to avoid sunlight if photosensitive oils have been used in your aromatherapy massage.
Remember to set aside a little extra time for yourself and allow yourself to relax.
Following any treatment, you may feel or experience that the body is shifting to release and rebalance. If aftercare is followed this should pass relatively quickly.
If you have any queries, please feel free to contact me. As complementary therapies do not replace medical care, if you have any medical concerns, you should seek medical advice.
