Massage
In order to maximise the benefits you have gained, I recommend following a programme of relaxation methods at home between treatments, and advise the following:
• Avoid alcohol and heavy meals for 24-hours after treatment.
• Always drink plenty of water after treatment to help flush toxins from the body.
• Do not undertake any other body treatment for 48-hours after treatment.
• Stay away from direct sunlight/sunbeds and heat e.g. saunas for 48-hours after treatment
• Avoid caffeinated drinks as these will stimulate the body and not help you to relax
• Stay relaxed 12-hours after treatment
• Following an aromatherapy treatment, avoid showering for at least 12-hours as the essential oils will continue to penetrate the skin and maximise benefits
• For long term results, book in for regular treatments.
Hot Stone Massage
Hot stone massage has a very detoxifying effect on the body and you should drink drinking plenty of water and avoiding caffeine, nicotine and alcohol for the next 24 hours. Also try to avoid any strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
