MACHINE LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE FOR YOUR LEGS

Do you know that the proper functioning of your lymphatic system is absolutely essential for your immunity and health? Similar to the circulation of blood, lymph flows through the body, cleaning it of toxins. When the lymphatic system doesn’t work properly, fat, water, salt and waste products accumulate under the skin. That causes swellings and other skin problems on different parts of the body and frequently also leads to infectious diseases or the feeling of “heavy legs”. A lymphatic drainage of your legs will support the proper functioning of your lymphatic system. The procedure is based on intermittent compressions of the legs, generating a pressure wave that supports the lymphatic and venous systems. The therapy will improve the condition of your skin and also reduce swellings and cel

Apart from providing relaxation, carbon dioxide has strong analgesic effects and stimulates blood circulation in your skin.

OXYGEN THERAPY

Oxygen is one of the essences of life on earth, so it’s no wonder that oxygen therapy has a beneficial effect on the human body. The treatment is based on the inhalation of concentrated oxygen, which improves blood circulation in the body and relieves both the muscles and the mind from stress. Increased concentration of oxygen in your body will help you reduce fatigue, prevent headaches, increase your performance and fitness and, last but not least, improve your mood.

Gas injections, also referred to as pneumopuncture, is an efficient means of pain relief. During the procedure, which takes only a few seconds, a needle is used to inject a small amount of carbon dioxide to acupuncture points near the affected areas. The gas relaxes the nearby muscles, bringing an immediate analgesic effect. Although the procedure is mildly painful, it is very well tolerated and the results outweigh any initial worries.

SALT CAVE

Take a breath in a salt cave. And make sure you breathe deeply, because the microparticles of salt clean your respiratory tract and skin and have a beneficial effect on your whole body.
