Steam Showers
This modality also creates a good sweat and provides a higher, wetter heating. Benefits of this are for smokers and people prone to upper respiratory illness or sinus infections. When this is the case, we will use essential oils to help kill any bacterial or viral growth and loosen a cough.

Hyperthermia Baths (with or without peat)
Hyperthermia or high temperatures is another way to induce a sweat and boost one’s immune system. It is a modality that has been around for years (and used in such cases as the Turkish Baths). A peat bath is often prescribed for muscle or back pain. The benefits of this finely ground peat moss with infused essential oils, is a deeper penetrating heat which drives the essential oils and naturally occurring MSM into the muscular tissues. This results in pain relief. The quicker after an injury that the treatment is given, the more effect the peat bath will have. After the bath, we wrap you in blankets to continue the sweating process and provide traction to your legs to promote lengthening and stretching of the spine. This is a great treatment for disc injuries.

Constitutional Hydrotherapy
This is a hot cold therapy where hot, then cold towels are placed on the chest and later on the back, with specific electrical stimulation to various points on the back. The alternation of hot and cold creates a pumping action for the blood and lymph systems, with addition of the low electrical stimulation to assist the lymphatic system. Old time naturopaths used this modality to stimulate the immune system and to promote strengthening of the Vis, otherwise known as the body’s ability to heal itself. For the chronically ill, daily constitutional hydrotherapy could help immensely, with or without the electrical stimulation.

Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy works with the cranial rhythms and fascial systems. Cerebrospinal fluid is ejected from the brain in a constant rhythm and by feeling that rhythm in different parts of the body, practitioners can feel the subtleties of that rhythm and find areas that may be stuck or have restricted flow. Fascia is connective tissue that wraps around all organs, muscle, bone and skin and connects us together. Areas of fascia get stuck as we go through life’s bumps, bruises and traumas and can add to restictions felt with the cranial rhythms. By accessing these two systems energetically, the fascia can be released, the rhythms freed up and healthy, unrestricted flow is restored.

The most common response is an initial sense of calmness or quietness in the body. That is because CST also impacts the parasympathetic nervous system, which is opposite of the cortisol rush most of us are used to.

Who could benefit from Cranialsacral Therapy? Anyone with musculoskeletal concerns or traumas, cortisol overdrive, anxiety, headaches, chronic illness, and other such health concerns. Basically if you are breathing, CST could potentially give you some benefit.

Body Scrubs
In this luxruious treatment, the body is first soaked in a warm bath, followed by a vigorous scrubbing with a natural cleanser and scrubbing mitts. The vigorous scrub is followed by a lighter cleansing to soothe the invigorated skin and circulatory system. This treatment is not only a wonderful treat that will leave you feeling decadent and pampered, but it also helps to cleans your largest organ of elimination- the skin. Most people are amazed at the amount of dead skin that comes off in a scrub session. It is very relaxing and the favorite of many.
