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

tartalom: + 1 Acupuncture is part of traditional Chinese medicine, which has a several thousand years old history. Acupuncture is successfully applied as a supplementary treatment for weight loss programs and dieting. By the stimulation of the acupuncture points located on the ears hunger and appetite can be decreased and digestion can be improved.  With the help of acupuncture several diseases can be cured, which cannot be treated by using Western medicine. It was not considered as a reliable treatment method for a long time, but by now it is widespread also in Western countries.  During acupuncture treatment patient is treated with a needle. Stimulation of the acupuncture points located on the body has an influence on the operation of our organs and organ systems. Needles play an important role in the opening of the blockages occurring in the meridians (channels: energy transportation system, which covers the entire body) as described in the acupressure part. The path of Qi (vital power) is opened with needles, by ensuring its circulation and the balancing of controversial energies (Jin and Jang).  In ancient times, when acupuncture was developed needles were made from bones, stones and bamboo. European physicians use flexible steel needles, instead of the traditional golden or silver needles. The length of acupuncture needles varies between 10 to 200 mm. But also permanent needles are used, which are taped after insertion and allowed to remain in the body for several days. There are approximately 400 acupuncture points on our body. During acupuncture treatment thin needles are inserted in various layers of the skin through the acupuncture points. For different diseases the combination of different points are used. Treatment duration varies – it also depends of the illness type. During one treatment multiple needles are inserted in the acupuncture points, and these needles are left in the skin depending on the pain level (starting from 15 minutes to 20 to 25 minutes). If necessary the needles are twisted and moved. Regularity is also very important during acupuncture therapy. In the case of a therapy with 10 to 12 treatments a weekly 1 to 2 treatments are recommended. Acupuncture is suitable for the mitigation of circulation disorders, elimination and mitigation of chronic pains, for the treatment of nervous-, digestive system diseases, respiratory system, dermatological, gynaecological and paediatrics disorders. The treatment does not have any side effects.

tartalom: + 1 The aim of the anti cellulite therapy is to get rid of or to reduce orange skin. There are various methods for eliminating cellulite.  Most people, but mainly women fight a grim battle with cellulite. Cellulite or orange skin develops at the bottom of the skin and in the true derm. It can also develop at young age, not only in the buttock and thigh areas but also on the belly and hands due to extreme depositing of the fatty tissue. Due to the toxic substances deposited in the fatty tissue the adipose cells increase in size and as a result blood supply and lymphoid circulation deteriorates. But the reasons for orange skin may be the followings: genes, not sufficient amount of fluid consumption, metabolism and hormone disorder, external impacts, not enough exercise and improper nutrition.     Cellulite massage and physical exercise During the lymphoid and blood circulation stimulating manual massage the toxic substance extraction in the cellulite areas is increased and the stagnant tissue fluids are emptied. Physical exercise helps to break down fat storages and strengthens the muscles in the affected areas.   Body wrapping The affected areas are covered with a lotion containing fat burner active agents. The body is than wrapped in a special foil. The treated person spends approximately 35 to 40 minutes in the wrap. As a result of the treatment the skin becomes taut and orange skin symptoms are mitigated. Usually 15 treatments are recommended during one body wrapping therapy.   Body shaping lotions/gels Nowadays shops are offering various body shaping beauty care products with promises of taut and smooth skin after treatment. During prevention and treatment it is very helpful to detoxicate the body by drinking of plenty of fluids, to avoid fatty food, sweets and excessive alcohol consumption

They recognised that bathing in sea water had an extremely beneficial impact on rheumatic diseases and had a relaxing effect on nervous system related illnesses. Already small amounts of sea water contain high quantities of mineral salts, sodium chloride and trace elements (copper, zinc, selenium and cobalt), which stimulate and strengthen the immune system and have a beneficial effect on the skin and mucosa. Thalasso therapy elements: Thalasso algae pack Thalasso mud pack Thalasso bath Thalasso massage body-wrapping and micro-dermabrasion Thalasso is a Greek word, comes from the word “thalassa”, meaning sea. This therapy is using the healing power of the sea. First La Bonnadiere French physician used consciously the power of the sea for healing purposes. Later on biologists discovered that sea water resembles to the human blood plasma and it is rich in iodine and zinc, which are essential for the body. Algae and micro-algae play an important role in the Thalasso therapy; practically they are the basis of the therapy. "Micro algaes are the most brilliant creators in the Earth, created by biology.” (Prof. Walter Trosch, Fraunhofer Research Institute) Algae/micro-algae contain the most vital substances. Its beneficial nutritional effects were acknowledged long time ago. Algae concentrate the valuable treasures of the sea, magnesium, iron, inc, selenium, iodine, vitamins and amino acids. Algae decrease the body’s cholesterol level, breed probiotic bacteria, have a detoxifying impact, protect from physical exertion, stimulate the immune system, and help to achieve mental balance, strengthen the hair, regenerate the nails and maintain the self-healing power of the body. They are able to multiple/concentre certain ions to ten-hundred thousand fold, namely one kilogram algae contains as much trace elements and mineral substances as ten-hundred thousand litres of sea water.

The offered professional cardiovascular screening examinations are available for local people as well as for visitors who come to the spa town to heal and to relax. Pay attention: cardiovascular disease is still the number one killer all over the world. In Europe, cardiovascular diseases are responsible for 52 % of total mortality in women and 42 % in men. Over the past decades, there has been an enormous global attention to prevent cardiovascular diseases in order to improve mortality statistics in the developed countries of Western Europe. For example, Finland has introduced effective screening and prevention programs and experienced a dramatic, 70% decrease in cardiovascular mortality during the past 30 years. However, prevention is still not considered as an important part of life by many.  In everyday life, we spend a lot of time and money on our homes, cars, hobbies, but we do not pay enough attention to preserve our health. We only realize this, when the disease develops and often results in irreversible health damage. Cardiovascular diseases develop silently during decades, therefore the health risk assessment is important already at an early age. The efficacy of prevention is the highest at younger ages, may be able to prevent more than 90% of events at the age of 35-45. Therefore, from the age of 30 it is advisable to participate in a certified cardiovascular screening program once a year.     CardioMobile’s comprehensive screening examinations are based on the current guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology and on the professional recommendations of the Hungarian Society of Cardiology. Importantly, CardioMobile screening program is the only dedicated screening program endorsed by the Hungarian Society of Cardiology.

cím: Paraffin treatment

lead: Paraffin treatment is recommended for the treatment of dry, chapped and stained hands.

tartalom: + 1 Unfortunately nowadays we are exposed to various chemicals and environmental impacts. Mainly our hands suffer the most from these impacts. Paraffin treatment is recommended for the treatment of dry, chapped and stained hands. The treatment starts with a hand wash, which is followed by rubbing. After the removal of the devitalised epidermic cells, the skin absorbs easier the lotion used during hand massage. The next step is dipping the hands in warmed up paraffin, which sticks to the skin and the hands are covered in a plastic bag and gloves. Guest is relaxing for about 20 minutes in the wrap. After that the gloves together with the paraffin are removed. Finally the hands are covered in skin-protection lotion. The treatment does not only treat the skin surface, but the active agents are also absorbed by deeper layers of the skin through the pores thus increasing blood circulation and oxygen supply of the tissues. The word paraffin comes from the composition of the Latin words of parum and affinis. Paraffin may be liquid, gas or solid. In clear format it is solid, odourless, colourless, white material with a waxy touch. Melting point is around 47 to 64 °C.
