Aftercare
After treatment it is recommended that you:
- Drink plenty of water - to flush out any toxins released during the treatment. This is particularly important when working around the upper back, neck and head area as any toxins released may travel straight to the head and cause a headache.
- Drink herbal teas instead of coffee and tea - the body has just been detoxified so avoid introducing more toxins eg caffeine. Herbal teas also help to rid the body of toxins.
- Avoid alcohol - ie. avoid introducing more toxins. You may also feel sick and have a strong reaction as the circulation has been increased.
- Relax and rest - this helps to make the most of the beneficial effects of the treatment.
- Eat a light meal and avoid rich and spicy foods - the body cannot use its energy for healing if it is using it to digest a large meal.
- After having an aromatherapy treatment it is recommended that you do not bathe or shower immediately after the treatment to allow the oils to have their full effects.
