Massage

We are going to go with the flow of this time of year. We think it’s a little early to start thinking about Christmas.

However, it seems like we want to run further and further, only to complain that the years are flying by. Paradoxes of the human being, right? We light up our streets, we fill our pantries, we empty our pockets… Oh, the happy gifts…

What to give to that special person who seems to have everything? Here we have the answer, you just have to keep reading.

Give something that everyone wants

Do you know what is the most heard phrase on December 22? As you already know, the Christmas lottery draw is celebrated in Spain that day. Millions of people put their hopes on that small piece of paper. To cover holes, to travel, to renovate the house, change cars…

We know perfectly well what we would do if we were winners of the raffle. Even so, the most heard phrase that day is “at least we have health.”

Because even though we play with the hope of winning, few are the lucky ones. And the rest of us “make do” with the most important thing we have, health. How we miss her when we are missing her! If we agree, why not give or treat ourselves to well-being this Christmas?

These are some of our proposals in the form of rituals, of course we also offer massages, acupuncture treatment, nutritional advice, and an extensive range of products to improve both our interior and exterior. Let’s go with our top ideas:

Serenity Ritual

The perfect gift for those who want to pamper themselves with a treatment that allows you to relax and disconnect. Above all, at the end of the year, the stress of traveling, getting together with the family, making time for everything, meals, dinners, shopping, playing with the little ones…

Leave all that behind for at least an hour and a half and put your well-being in our hands.

Our Serenity Ritual begins with a Swedish body massage. During this popular massage, we try to insist on those points where we find the most accumulated muscle tension.

We will continue with the relaxing technique of Indian head massage, which helps get rid of physical stress and mental fatigue. We work on the neck, shoulders and jaw areas, eliminating muscle tension and, therefore, it works as a very relaxing treatment.

We will finish with foot reflexology, the icing on the cake to such a wonderful ritual, which we can assure you will want to repeat.

Detox Ritual

This ritual is perfect for pampering yourself once the festivities have passed. We leave behind the excesses of food, drinks, sweets, etc., and we can finally dedicate a few minutes, at least sixty, to treating our body as it deserves.

Our Detox Ritual combines the manual lymphatic drainage technique and foot reflexology. With it, we will be able to drain, detoxify and get rid of the uncomfortable sensation of fluid retention. Ideal to give as a gift in early or mid-January.

To do this, we will use our essential oils whose detoxifying and purifying function will leave you, or the person you give it to, literally on a cloud of well-being.

Antiaging ritual.

Perfect ritual to show off an impeccable appearance at those gatherings with family and friends. Or simply to look in the mirror and feel good, comfortable in your skin. This is, in fact, one of the most popular rituals among our clientele.

Our Antiaging Ritual combines the benefits of facial lifting with acupuncture and kobido facial massage. Using these two techniques we will be able to restore harmony and balance to your face. Furthermore, one of the most applauded benefits of this ritual is that it helps you shake off stress. Its 90 minutes duration will leave you with an unparalleled feeling of lightness and well-being.

We can guarantee that you will love it, both as a treat and as a gift to that special person.

On this occasion we bring up a topic that, unfortunately, is becoming an increasingly widespread health problem. Anxiety and how acupuncture can help you alleviate its effects.

Nowadays, more and more people suffer from anxiety from an earlier age and more and more often, the good news that we want to share with you is that acupuncture can be applied to treat anxiety.

In principle, anxiety is nothing more than a defense mechanism of our own body in situations that we understand as threatening.

Where does so much anxiety come from?

Today’s society may be more demanding, demanding that we do more, that we have more, that we travel more, that we work more… All this seasoned with the pressure that many people, especially young people, suffer due to social networks. A life of appearances in which unattainable perfection is the only goal. And of course, the word itself says it, if it is unattainable, it should not be a goal.

Because when we chase something that we can never achieve, the only thing we will get is frustration. Things may have always been this way and now we simply have less effective tools to deal with problems and, sometimes, we even lack these tools. In any case, anxiety is here, it seems to stay.

At Zenia Natural we want to tell you how we can help you. Do you want to improve your quality of life and reduce anxiety? Keep reading and discover why acupuncture is one of the treatments we know best and that has a high rate of satisfactory results.

What are the symptoms of anxiety?

Surely more than one or two symptoms that we are going to describe below sound familiar to you. Anxiety, as we said at the beginning, is a defense mechanism. It is triggered when our body feels in danger due to one situation or another.

So is anxiety the same as fear? No. Fear is produced by an identifiable danger for which we can prepare a response. Anxiety is caused by a threat to which we are not able to respond.

It is characterized by negative thoughts about a real or unreal element. In the sense that sometimes that worry is about something that doesn’t even happen.

The most common symptoms of anxiety are:

• Nervousness
• Negative thoughts on loop
• Apathy
• Insomnia
• Nightmares
• Agoraphobia
• Feelings of deep sadness
• Nausea
• Lack or excess of appetite
• Shaking chills

Anxiety often goes hand in hand with depression. Word that scares us and stigmatizes us, but that we should know to see it coming and work as best as possible on our improvement.

What can we do to reduce anxiety?

We always mention that each person is different, and in this case it was no different. Depending on our personal process, we can work on our anxiety in one way or another. At least try to alleviate those symptoms that can be very annoying and even disabling.

Our first advice is to go to a mental health professional. In recent years, mental health is no longer “that which is not talked about.” Now it is a very important part of our health, which we should take care of as much as we take care of the rest of our body.

And thank goodness! Knowing where our anxiety problem comes from will help us find the best way to approach treatment. Hence our recommendation to visit a specialist who will determine whether anxiety should be treated pharmacologically or not.

In any case, there is a treatment that we know well and that gives great results in cases of anxiety. Yeah! Acupuncture.

Scientific evidence

It has been shown by several scientific studies that acupuncture is a method to take into account when it comes to anxiety. Acupuncture is capable of reducing anxiety in specific situations.

What kind of situations? Those that we know are going to happen and that produce that state of worry that we are not able to control. For example, a visit to the dentist, a gynecological examination, surgery… In addition, acupuncture works immediately.

As? Well, reducing the level of cortisone in the body and inhibiting its activity. And we already know from other articles that you can read here, that cortisone does not usually come with calm and stability.

When is it recommended to start treating anxiety with acupuncture?

As soon as we identify it. We should not confuse a state of nervousness caused naturally by an event, situation or person, with anxiety. For example, nerves before an exam? Normal. Nervous before your wedding? Normal. Now, if these situations cause you to hyperventilate, they take away your sleep, your desire to eat, they make you sweat, you can only think that everything is going to go wrong and you don’t know how to get out of them… it sounds more like anxiety.

As always when we talk about Natural Medicine, we must remember that the person is treated as a whole. We will not only focus on relieving symptoms, but on treating the patient who suffers from them in depth to ensure that the results last as long as possible over time.

Depending on the process you are going through and the level of anxiety you are suffering, the therapist will set guidelines, such as number of sessions, time between each one of them and other recommendations to follow.

Acupuncture is a technique that has been proven numerous times to be beneficial when it comes to treating sleep problems. Its success in terms of relaxation and improvement of mood is also undoubted. And as we have seen in previous sections, these are some of the symptoms of going through an anxiety process.

Massages are welcome in any season. Although at this time of year we come and go, we get hot, we cool down with the air conditioners, we cool off in the sea, the river or the pool.

We are on vacation, we are working and looking forward to it, or worse, we have already spent it! Whatever the situation, the best way to deal with the heat and summer stress is to put yourself in the hands of a good professional and pamper yourself with a good massage.

What benefits does a massage provide?

Without going into details about types of massages, which we will talk about in the next section, a massage always provides a series of benefits that we should not lose sight of.

To begin with, a massage relaxes you. And we already know how important it is to keep cortisol, anxiety and stress at bay. In addition, it activates blood circulation and the lymphatic system, which relieves ailments related to poor circulation such as varicose veins, tired legs, swollen feet…

On the other hand, a massage is also an emotional balm, how? A massage relaxes us in such a way that for some people it transcends merely physical relaxation. The mind also enters a mode of relaxation that promotes a calm similar to what can be achieved through exercises such as meditation. So, when we receive a massage, we obtain not only a physical benefit, but also an emotional one. We are taking care of ourselves, we are loving ourselves and we are giving ourselves what we need.

Massage to relieve or prevent pain

Continuing with the benefits that massage provides, we can say that it relieves headaches, promotes falling asleep, relaxes the muscles and improves the elasticity of the skin. Another benefit that is especially welcome in summer is that it helps in cases of constipation, promoting digestion and evacuation.

During the summer period we eat and drink less common things and in different quantities than during the rest of the year. We leave home, the town, hotels, the beach house, other cities, other countries… Anything that helps regulate our function is more than welcome, right?

What types of massage exist?

There are many types of massages. Depending on the country of origin (Swedish massage, Thai massage, Indian massage…), depending on the desired result (relieving massage, draining massage, relaxing massage…). We are going to make a short description of the massages we offer at Zenia Natural, so that you can get excited and come enjoy one or more!

You have more information about duration and prices of these massages and the rest of the treatments on our website.

What type of massage is best?

We cannot say that one type of massage is better than another. It all depends on the tastes of the person who receives it and even more so, on their specific needs. Each and every type of massage provides to one degree or another the well-being and relaxation we seek.

It is important, as in all aspects related to health, to maintain consistency. If we drink two liters of water one day, but don’t drink it the rest of the week, we’re not exactly doing it right, right?

Our health depends on the measures we take to alleviate our ailments, but above all, on what we do to prevent them. If we go to our massage specialist with some regularity, we will be more likely to avoid serious contractures, among other things. We can treat ourselves to the massage that we like the most or try a new one each time.

Visit Zenia Natural

A regular visit to Zenia Natural will be perfect to avoid major problems. For example, overload in the shoulders and neck, heaviness in the legs, recurrent headaches. Think about it, you take your car to the workshop for periodic checks, a technician checks your gas or electricity installation in your home… why not do periodic checks on our body?

Finally, we want to remind you that we are in Orihuela Costa, in the south of the province of Alicante. Very close to cities like Torrevieja and areas known for their beaches and summer atmosphere such as La Zenia, Cabo Roig, La Mata, Mil Palmeras, Dehesa de Campoamor, etc. Come and meet us, make your appointment by calling or sending an email or WhatsApp.

We will be happy to provide you with advice and the best individualized treatment, especially prepared for you. This summer, like the rest of the year, love yourself, treat yourself to well-being.

Have you ever noticed what the protagonists of many movies and series do at the end of a long day at work? Or after a stressful day? How are they rewarded? Indeed! A super relaxing foot massage. And it is that…, nothing like a massage to take away the worries of the day, and if it is also a foot massage… Okay, they also have a glass of wine, but that is material for another article.

Today we bring you foot reflexology as a topic. This technique is based on the theory that the feet are divided into reflex zones for the rest of our body. Based on this, in the feet we can find reflected the different organs, systems, muscles, bones…

For this and for more details that we will go through, we can affirm that foot reflexology is a technique that has benefits in our whole organism. Depending on the needs of each person, the massage will focus on one or another area of the foot that will affect (positively, of course), its reflex area of the body.

Where does reflexology come from?

Reflexology is an ancient technique that has been known for centuries on virtually all continents. It is known, for example, that it is practiced as a method of healing and prevention in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Likewise, evidence of the use of foot reflexology in ancient Egypt has been found.

In fact, a hieroglyph was found in the tomb of the king’s physician in Saqqara in which several people can be seen massaging their feet and hands. There is also evidence that it was practiced in some Native American tribes, the Cherokee tribe among others, and in the south of the American continent among the Incas of Peru. Likewise, in India it is known of the existence of medical treatises in which the importance of foot massages to treat various ailments is stated.

It seems that all these cultures so distant and different from each other came to the same conclusion. The feet, largely forgotten by our body, are undoubtedly a very important part of it. So it makes sense that we think that, indeed, reflexology in general and foot reflexology in particular provide a series of benefits that we must take into account when taking care of ourselves naturally.

What benefits does reflexology bring?

Let’s talk about what may interest us the most. What are the benefits of reflexology, what improvements can we observe when resorting to it. And, ultimately, why it should be taken into consideration when looking for a satisfactory treatment.

We have already seen that different cultures far removed in time and space found an effective method in reflexology. Capable of providing well-being and helping, as a complementary therapy, the diagnosis and treatment of different body ailments. This disparity is for many people reason enough to verify the effectiveness of reflexology.

And why do we say that it is effective? Here are its best-known benefits:

• Strengthens the immune system, thus helping the body to be stronger.
• Stimulates blood circulation, especially in the lower extremities so prone to varicose veins, a product of poor circulation.
• Helps maintain the balance of the peripheral nervous and central systems.
• Has a relaxing effect, which produces a decrease in anxiety and stress levels, thus helping to keep autoimmune diseases at bay.
• Contributes to the quality of our sleep and helps in case of suffering from insomnia.
• Promotes the elimination of toxins by stimulating the lymphatic system.
• Relieves pain boxes between mild and acute in different parts of the body. Especially indicated to treat headaches, pain caused by otitis, oral infections, menstrual pain and both muscle and joint pain.
• Allows full relaxation of both body and mind, helping to counteract the adverse effects of medications such as chemotherapy.
• Improves kidney and intestinal function, helping in constipation processes.

The benefits of reflexology are many and very diverse. Now we can understand why this technique has been practiced for so many centuries and why it is so popular and widespread throughout the world.

Foot reflexology, where to go?

We will never get tired of repeating it. For all your treatments always choose professionals. Because they know what they are doing, from experience, from studies and research, from hygiene… And ultimately, because your health is not something that you should put in the hands of just anyone.

Reflexology is characterized by having very few adverse effects. Even so, you have to put yourself in the hands of professionals who study your particular case, your previous ailments, your history and who develop a treatment program suited to your needs. For example, it is contraindicated in the following cases:

• Acute infections.
• Osteoporosis in the lower extremities.
• High fevers.
• Cancer, especially in the metastasis stage.
• Risk pregnancies.
• Heart disease.
• Fungus, wounds and ulcers.

Your trusted professional will develop a program in which he will specify how many sessions will be necessary to treat your specific ailment. Although it is not an exact science, so there are patients who notice a visible improvement from the first session and others who need a more long-term treatment.
