Energy shall be decreased at areas with high energy level, and energy shall be increased at areas with low energy level. The pressure point technique is complemented by pulling, tensioning and relaxing exercises. It is beneficial for the blood and lymphoid circulation and for the muscular system. Shiatsu therapy is very successfully applied in the case of visceral diseases. During the therapy the aim is to restore the oxygen saturation of the blood and to improve the oxygen supply of the organs. The treatment strengthens the immune system, improves metabolism operation, refreshes the mind and mental tension is eliminated.

The seven main centres located in the spiritual channel are called the chakra. Interesting facts Shiatsu was developed from anma, which was the Japanese version of the Chinese massage.

lead: + 3 Everything about massage: short history, impacts

tartalom: + 1 Short history: Massage has already been applied by the Greeks in ancient times for enhancing the sport performance of their athletes. Egyptians, Persians, Indians, Romans, Japanese and Chinese knew and applied massage as a medicinal procedure. In the middle ages the significance of massage fell into background due to the influence of the Church, which was against corporality. Nowadays massage has been rediscovered through scientific research. The word massage comes from the Greek „massein” word, which means kneading. Swedish massage, which is the most frequently applied massage technique was developed and pioneered by Per Henrik Ling. Eastern healing has appreciated the beneficial impact of massage for a very long time. Nowadays the western medicinal science is aware that massaging is not only a physical process, but it has also got an important physiological and mental impact.   Impacts During the treatment blood circulation and lymphoid circulation are stimulated, pulse rate per minute and blood pressure is changed; metabolism, body temperature and breathing also change, while excretion is intensified and as a result detoxification is increased, furthermore it also has an impact on the nervous system. Application of strong stimulating grips has a stimulating effect, increasing the activity of the body. Calming grips ensure the release and relaxation of the body. During massage several related vital changes take place within the human body. A good massage brings the body to a mental level similar to meditation, which has a positive impact both on patient and masseur.

tartalom: + 1 Aroma-therapy cabin, music therapy cabin Already ancient civilizations were using plants with essential oil content: for healing, during religious ceremonies, for beauty care purposes, for seduction or embalming. In the middle of the 19th century it was acknowledged that the medicinal effect of essential oils cannot be supplemented by anything else.   During sauna treatment in an aroma-therapy cabin the air of the cabin with varying temperatures is aromatised by using essential oils. Essential oils may have various relaxing or refreshing effects.     In the aroma-therapy cabin essential oils are inhaled or penetrate the skin and have their beneficial effects: prevent the spreading of bacteria and fungus; clear the respiratory passages; stimulate the blood supply of the skin and muscular tissue, thus alleviate pain and inflammation; beneficial for the digestive and secretory organs and they have a relaxing effect. Major reason for using essential oils is that they have a positive effect on our soul and emotions. Essential oils release emotional and mental blockages instantly.   Application forms of essential oils: Aromatic cabin/sauna: means entire body inhalation. Dry inhalation: inhalation directly or by dripping the essential oils on a tissue. Inhalation: carefully selected essential oils are dropped in hot water and they are inhaled together with the steam. Aroma-therapy packs, bolstering: essential oils are applied on the skin, which are mixed in body lotion or soaked herbs are placed on the given body part. Aroma-therapy therapeutic massage: unites the positive effects of essential oils and massage. Aroma-therapy therapeutic bath: in the aroma-therapy bath essential oils shall always be mixed with some kind of dissolvent (cream, milk). Evaporation: use few drops of essential oil in water, increase the water temperature and as a result of heating, the essential oil will evaporate to the air. Internally: there are strict rules for using essential oils internally. Their application is only allowed in small and controlled quantities, meaning only a few drops a day and only by using a mediator substance (which can also be sugar, alcohol or tea).     Major components: Alcohols, aldehyde, phenic acids, esters, acids and terpene. These components join together in a unique way; all essential oils have a complicated setup.   Sauna treatment in the cabin can be boosted by playing pleasant music. This is called music-therapy cabin. Low relaxing music and the essential oils completely loosen up the body and the soul. Those who do not like the quietness of the sauna cabin are recommended to use the music-therapy cabin.   Essential oil and Effect Lemon: vitalises, beneficial for the digestive process and skin conditionsJasmine: refreshing, anti-micro bioticChamomile: relaxing, for insomnia, stress and anxietyLavender:  relaxing, antiseptic, for insomnia, burns and woundsMint: relaxing, antisepticOrange: refreshing and vitalisesSandal: for respiratory disorders, dry skin condition and eczemaVanilla: loosening and relaxing
