Reiki is a Japanese word and means universal life force energy - the energy which is around us and flows through us and every living being. It is an ancient hands-on healing therapy which addresses body, mind and spirit.I practise the traditional form of Usui Reiki honouring the spiritual lineage of Dr. Mikao Usui. He was a Japanese Christian Minister who rediscovered this ancient buddhist healing art in the early 20th century after years of research and went on to develop it as it is known today. What does the treatment look like?During the treatment you lie on a couch, fully dressed and covered with a blanket and I place my hands on your body in a sequence of positions, thereby acting as a channel for the reiki energy. You are the healer yourself as you draw in reiki to where it is needed - physically, mentally and emotionally. The treatment is a highly relaxing experience which many people describe as "being in the present". You may feel various sensations such as heat, cold or tingling in certain parts of your body or you may simply fall into a "reiki slumber".The Reiki session lasts one hour. What are the benefits?Reiki stimulates your own healing abilities to heal physical ailments and raise your awareness of the underlying causes of disease and pain.

Hopi Ear Candles are long hollow tubes made of cotton, beeswax, honey, sage and essential oils. Hopi means people of peace and the candles have been traditionally used by the native North American Hopi tribe as a sacred remedy for many centuries. What does the treatment look like?You lie on the treatment couch on your side and I insert the bottom end of the candle into the entrance of the ear and light the candle at the top end. The flame creates a "chimney" effect inside the ear drawing out excess fluids, wax and toxic debris from ears and sinuses. The treatment of both ears takes around 30 minutes and it is concluded with 15 minutes of either head and face massage or reiki according to your wishes and needs. What are the benefits?The treatment is a very relaxing and soothing experience and the hot air gently massages the inside of the ear which has many reflex points which correspond with all parts of the body.

Reflexology is a gentle non-invasive therapy based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet, hands and ears that correspond to every organ gland and system in the body. By stimulating these reflexes, reflexology encourages deep healing and tranquil relaxation. This therapy is particularly beneficial for joint mobilisation, migraine, sinus, digestion, back problems and stress-related conditions as it discharges negativity and stimulates the body’s own immune system for self-healing. It can also enhance general well-being so why not book yourself a treat and pop into your local Care Cure Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine for a soothing reflexology session? Sessions typically last about 35 minutes and prices vary with the time allowed for treatment.

Holistic medicine is now used all over the world. What this means for you is that each part of your physical, emotional and spiritual dimensions is equally important and imbalances in any of these areas can contribute to illness. Holistic medicine considers a person’s mind and body, diet and exercise, lifestyle and relationships, work and leisure, and achievements and problems. Whether you have pain in your leg, a headache, or are suffering from stress Chinese Medicine follows the holistic principle. Chinese medicine states that illness results when there is disharmony in the body, or when something is out of balance. The concept of organs is different to that of Western medicine. In Chinese medicine, organs are viewed according to their perceived functions, rather than literal functions. In Care Cure Clinics we say that the enlightened person eats when hungry and sleeps when tired. This means living in harmony with the energy of the seasons and with the particular requirements of mind and body, which empowers you to influence your own health destiny.

Acupressure is a good alternative for anyone suffering from a phobia of needles as it follows the same principle as acupuncture. It works by stimulating the same acupuncture points on the surface of the body but instead of using needles, the practitioner will apply pressure with the hands. Acupressure is an effective method of improving blood circulation and repairing tissue damage throughout the body. Via nerve stimulation acupressure can induce relaxation and improve skin tone, ease tension in muscles and joints, repair facial lymph damage and generally tone the body. For this reason, it is often used as a facial beauty therapy. Acupressure has also seen considerable success in curing insomnia, lessening fatigue and dispelling back and joint pain.

Is a healing art of ancient origin. It is based on the idea that specific points on the feet correspond with organs and tissues throughout the body. With fingers and thumbs the practitioner manipulates points on feet to balance energy flow around the body, stimulating the body’s natural healing process. It relieves stress and promotes health to the entire body.
