Stimulate The Vis

 The Vis is our own healing potential within the body & soul which allows the body to heal itself.  The body possesses an inherent ability to restore health and through specific modalities we can encourage that process. 

 How do we stimulate our Vis?Well, it all depends on the individual but here are the basics: 

 1. Get out in nature: Getting away from the hustle & bustle of city life and feeling the calming vibe and beauty of nature is healing for the mind & body.

 2. Go Barefoot: The earth has a negative ionic charge and when we go barefoot are bodies are able to ground that charge.  Negative ions are proven to detoxify, calm, reduce inflammation, and even synchronise our internal clocks, hormonal cycles, and physiological rhythms. 

 3. Breathe fresh air: Our breathe is one of the most fundamental forms of life and yet usually taken for granted.  Embracing the brisk fresh air and taking deep breaths soothes the soul. 

 4. Eat foods that are grown locally and organically with love 

 There are also specific treatments such as…

Constitutional Hydrotherapy: Which can boost immunity through a series of hot & cold compresses applied to the chest and abdomen along with a mild electrical stimulation. 

Wet Sock Treatments: This treatment acts to reflexively increase the circulation and decrease congestion in the upper respiratory passages, head and throat which is a great treatment for the common cold.

Peat Baths: Taking a bath with peat supports the body in several ways because the peat itself retains the temperature of the water which aids the body to sweat and further release toxins from the deep within the tissues.  The warm bath, in addition to the properties of the peat, support the body by decreasing inflammation and pain while increasing circulation and sweat.

Water therapy: Hydrotherapy is essentially the use of water (hot or cold, ice or liquid) to treat and heal the body of aliments.   The use of various water temperatures is very important to treat certain aliments for example; hot and cold contrast hydrotherapy stimulates circulation by causing increased constriction and dilation of the veins which in turn provides fresh nutrients while also stimulating movement of the lymphatic system to eliminate waste from the body.
