Using Oils within your session

If oils have been used during your therapy / treatment. Leave the oils on your skin for approximately 24 hours, do not wash off, if possible. This will allow you to gain the maximum benefit from the oils used.

What is a Healing Crisis?

The healing crisis is the period of change which a person passes through in order to cleanse, regenerate and become healthier. A healing crisis is triggered when a person moves in a healthy direction. As the many organ systems of the body eliminate toxins, the mind releases old thought structures and habit patterns, and unwanted emotional states can be expressed and cleared. This is a process of cleansing and healing which allows stagnant material on all levels of experience, physically, emotionally and mentally to surface and be eliminated.

There are a wide variety of reactions that may manifest during a healing crisis.

Typical reactions include:

• Increased thirst

• Runny nose and/or cough

• Headaches

• Frequent visits to the toilet

• Feeling emotional or weepy

• Stiffness

• Deep sleep, vivid dreams or
  having difficulty sleeping

• Slight rash or spots as the skin
  re-balances

• Conditions that have been suppressed may flare up temporarily
