The post Etana Wellness has a new location appeared first on Etana Wellness.

It is a deeply relaxing treatment using the application of therapeutic essential oils to the feet, back and neck.

My clients call this treatment “Relax to the MAX treatment” lol

It begins with applying the oils to the Vita Flex points along the arches of the feet.

The Vita Flex technique was developed by the Tibetans thousands of years ago, even before acupuncture. Its literal meaning is “vitality through the reflexes”.

Next, the oils are dispenses like little “raindrops” along the spine and worked into the skin with feather like strokes.

All while laying atop a jade stone infrared heating pad!! So cozy! OHHHH YAAAA

Benefits to a Raindrop Therapy treatment:

1. Reduces Back Pain – The analgesic ingredients in the essential oils help reduce pain and discomfort.

2. Helps Relief Stress – Therapeutic essential oils have a normalizing effect on the nervous system making them ideal for reducing stress, anxiety and tension.
The oils can immediately penetrate cell membranes and diffuse through the blood and tissues instantly in a matter of seconds! The oils also cross the brain-blood barrier and effect the limbic system (the Amygdale) parts of the brain that control our mood, behavior and emotions. So if you’ve lost your “Joie de Vivre” Raindrop therapy will have you smiling and back to your normal self in no time!

3. Relaxes Muscles – These oils and techniques relax muscles that are sore, spastic or stressed. Basil, wintergreen, marjoram, cypress and peppermint essential oils help with all the common muscle conditions.

4. Helps Reduce Inflammation – World wide studies have identified several essential oils as powerful anti-inflammatory agents. These include wintergreen, peppermint and thyme.

5. Helps to Improve Circulation – Essential oils can be most beneficial in boosting circulation due to oxygenating properties. The essential oils of cypress, thyme, marjoram and peppermint all have properties that increase circulation and act as a circulatory stimulant.

6. Helps to Detox the Body Systems – These therapeutic oils used in Raindrop therapy are high in phenols hence, cleanse cellular receptor sites and can enhance the lymphatic system.

7. Helps improve Immune function – Thyme and oregano essential oils are known to support the immune system. These oils create an unfavorable environment for harmful viruses and bacteria that can hibernate and lay dormant in the body.

The post Curious about Raindrop Therapy? appeared first on Etana Wellness.

Curious about trying Reiki while visiting the Canadian Rockies? Many come to the mountains to heal, restore and re-energize their bodies.  Reiki is a great way to do this!

So what the heck is all the hype?

Reiki is an energy healing modality that uses “hands-on” and also “hands-off” healing, where the practitioner acts as a conduit for universal energy, in order to rebalance and clear blockages in the chakras, or energy centers.

Benefits include:

• Dissolves energy blocks and promotes natural balance between mind, body and spirit;
• Increases energy levels;
• Creates deep relaxation and helps the body release stress and tension;
• Clears the mind and improves focus;
• Accelerates the body’s self-healing ability;
• Aids better sleep;
• Reduces blood pressure;
• Helps relieve pain;
• Assists the body in cleansing itself from toxins;
• Supports the immune system;
• Helps spiritual growth and emotional cleansing;
• Promotes creativity; and
• Compliments medical treatment.
• Promotes equilibrium in the body and a sense of feeling grounded
• Reiki helps to stimulate and balance physical, mental, emotional and energetic systems.

Reiki can be extremely powerful and effective.  It infuses your chakras and your body with the energy of the universe. Your body takes exactly what it needs at that point in time, and the Reiki practitioner’s role is to act as a channel of universal energy to help facilitate that healing, so that the body can heal itself. When you infuse Reiki into areas of the body that are energetically or physically weak, the healing process can begin as your body allows itself to fully release.
