What is Sound Therapy and how does it work

♫ Sound has powerful possibilities to exert positive influences on body and mind. Correctly selected, music for relaxation and meditation can help make us cheerful, balanced, stress free and gives us a passion for life.

♫ Sound Therapy is based on the principle that all cells and organs of the human body vibrate at their specific frequency. In a healthy body, these frequencies remain stable and constant. However, when emotional, psychological, mental or physical diseases occur, they can cause a shift in frequencies.

♫ Sound Therapy uses a range of scientifically chosen tools, such as Himalayan music instruments, that produce a combination of carefully selected frequencies. These frequencies are transported to the unbalanced organs via the autonomic nervous system and in the process correct their vibrational state.

♫ This process, called "sympathetic resonance entraiment", restores and maintains balance at all levels of being, by balancing and harmonising the human mind, body and soul. (aura and chakras).

How does Aromatherapy contribute to one's wellbeing

Aromatherapy has been practiced in one form or another since the beginning of civilization. It is the art and science of using oils, extracted from aromatic plants to enhance health and beauty. Apart from the physical benefits, essential oils can have subtle effects on the mind and emotions, stimulating positive results. The essential oils taken from plants and used in Aroma therapy have been described as their “life force” – they are essential to the plants’ biological processes, as well as being the substance which gives them their scent.



When one inhales essential oils, they enter into your respiratory system. In your lungs, molecules of essential oils attach themselves to oxygen molecules and are carried into your blood stream and circulated to every cell in your body including the brain. Within the cells, essential oils can activate the body’s ability to heal itself and to improve health.

How does the Colour Therapy work

Colour Therapy is the therapeutic use of colour and light as a means of balancing and harmonising mind body and spirit. Colours are differentiated light, and research indicates that our physical and mental well-being is affected by our relationship with the colours in our environment.

For example, the depression resulting from a lack of light in wintertime (Seasonal Affective Disorder) can be corrected with the use of special daylight simulation bulbs, high blood pressure responds to the use of blue light, and the nervous system is excited by the use of red light.
Colour is used in many forms to heal and aid the sick, diseased and the distressed. Colour therapists use colour both to diagnose and to heal - often basing their work on the chakra system. By realigning the chakras, balance is restored throughout the body’s systems, reducing stress and stimulating energy flow.

What effect does the Full Spectrum light have on the human body

Physiotherm Full-Spectrum Light has an effect similar to that of Sunlight, but using OSRAM Biolux tubes, in which UV light is filtered and limited to DIN 5036, no sunburn occurs. The Full-Spectrum light assists the body generating the vital Vitamin D.

Dr. Mercola, in one of his newsletters stated the following:
“While you've probably long known that Vitamin D helps support your bone health, you should also know what scientific researchers are finally realizing. Studies now demonstrate that Vitamin D promotes your optimal brain and heart health, and provides you many other benefits as well. In fact, every cell in your body needs Vitamin D for your well-being.
Having too little vitamin D may not have any outwardly obvious signs. Yet vitamin D impacts an incredible array of support for systems and functions in your body...

. Heart health
. Cell formation and cell longevity
. Skin health
. Pancreatic health
. Aging process
. Sleep patterns
. Hearing
. Reproductive health
. Athletic performance
. Eye health
. Vascular system health
. Respiratory health
. Immune health ... Most people feel in better health during the summer sunshine months -- ever wonder why?
. Healthy mood and feelings of well-being
. Weight management, including carbohydrate and fat metabolism
. Hair and hair follicles
. Strong and healthy bones, because vitamin D encourages calcium uptake
. Muscles
. Proper digestion and food absorption

Since healthy levels of vitamin D protect and promote so many of your body's functions, a deficiency may mean your body lacks the tools it needs to keep you in optimal health, making sufficient vitamin D a very important issue for you to address!”

How does FIR assist with Detoxification

Because Far Infrared penetrates safely and comfortably up to 4.5cm inside your body, you perspire far more than you do in a traditional sauna. Hard to reach impurities are eliminated through your skin using lower, comfortable temperatures.

Dr. Toshiko Yamazaki M.D., owns a clinic in Japan where she has done extensive research on the therapeutic uses of far-infrared radiation.

In her book, "The Science of Far-Infrared Therapies," she explains that one of the reasons FIR has beneficial results in a variety of illnesses is the ability of FIR waves to remove toxins, which are often at the core of many health problems.

Since humans are bio-accumulators, toxins that cannot be expelled immediately after entry are stored in our bodies.
For example, when toxic gases such as sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide or toxic substances such as lead, mercury or chlorine meet large water molecules, they are encapsulated by the clusters of water.

Where these toxins are accumulated, blood circulation is blocked and cellular energy is impaired. However, when a 6 to 14 micron FIR wave is applied to these large water molecules, the water begins to vibrate. This vibration reduces the ion bonds of the atoms which are holding together the molecules of water. As the breakdown of the water molecules occurs, encapsulated gases and other toxic materials are released.

What is Far Infrared Radiation

Far Infrared Radiation is that part of Sunlight which is beneficial to mankind.

Sunlight is comprised of a wide spectrum of frequencies, including Cosmic rays, Gamma rays, X-Rays, ultraviolet, infrared rays and Microwave.

Visible sunlight is in the middle of this spectrum. At a higher frequency, visible light changes to ultraviolet rays that can cause sunburn.

At a lower frequency, however, sunlight changes to gentle infrared rays. It is these rays that allow the sun to warm you, even on a cold winter's day. Varying in wavelength from 0.76 microns (µ) to 1000µ, Infrared light is everywhere, even in the palm of your hand.

Within this wide spread of frequencies the 6-14µ range is the most therapeutic to the human body.

Because infrared penetrates safely and comfortably up to 4.5cm inside your body, it stimulates your deep tissues and organs, meaning you perspire far more than you do in a traditional sauna. Hard to reach impurities are eliminated through your skin using lower, comfortable temperatures.
