Facial
Rejuvenation with AROMATHERAPY according to |
|
|
|
For thousands of years, the
people of the Orient have known that beauty comes from the inside out. In
order for a person to look their best, they must radiate health. Early on,
the Chinese discovered and utilized ways to change the energy flow within the
body to initiate the healing process for rejuvenation. They knew that many
meridians either begin or end on the face and some have internal branches
that go to the face. At least early as the Sung Dynasty (960 AD – 1279
AD), Acupuncture rejuvenation practices were employed for the Empress and the
Emperor's concubines. In Oriental medicine there is a
famous axiom, "Where qi goes, blood flows." While this concept may
sound mysterious to those unfamiliar Oriental Medical theory, everyone knows
that increased circulation helps the body to look and feel younger. Common
would sense tell us that treating the underlying cause of why someone is
aging is preferable to masking the symptoms and allowing further decay and
dysfunction to continue within the body. How a person looks and feels
about themselves can influence both their professional and personal life.
Reasons for seeking this treatment may by professional or personal or a
combination of both. Everyone wants to look their best, but in current times
concern with one's appearance is perhaps overemphasized in our culture and
some individuals feel societal pressure to live up to what may be unrealistic
expectations. While this may be what initially motivates a person to seek
treatments, they can still be helped immensely by addressing the root of
their condition and by restoring their health in the process. It is also an
excellent way to build and increase one's practice. After a successful
treatment series, patients will return for periodic facial rejuvenation
booster sessions as well as regular Acupuncture treatments for any conditions
that might arise in the future. This is a fabulous chance to educate and
expose those patients to the vast riches of Oriental Medicine and other
holistic methods that they may no have come to know without their original
intention of Facial Rejuvenation. Please note: The course content
may vary according to the sponsor's request. Consequently, you must check the
actual course description for what specifically is included in that
particular workshop. For instance: the Acupuncture Workshop may or may not
include Chinese herbal remedies for issues of Facial Rejuvenation or Flower
Essences for the psycho-spiritual issues around aging and self-esteem based
on appearance. Likewise, a course may or may not be classified as a
certification workshop. |
