DETOX MASSAGE
What is a Detox/Cellulite Massage?
This can be either a full-body or a targeted area of body (such as legs/buttocks/upper arms) designed to reduce cellulite and help the body to detox.A course of 6-10 treatments is usually recommended for significant results. One off treatments before a special occasion will make your skin glow and feel smooth and cleansed. During a treatment I will start by body brushing the skin to awaken the circulation followed by massaging warm oil in to the specific area to be treated to relax and warm the muscle. Following this the Ayurvedic (Indian) Herbs will be mixed with warm oil to make a paste and this is then rubbed and massaged vigorously into your body helps to break down cellulite and toxins, warm up the body and move lymph.
How does this work you ask?
Body brushing moves lymph and increases blood flow, the massage relaxes the muscles and the
specially prepared organic herbs contain ingredients such as kolakula and tripala that can break down
cellulite and encourage detoxification, elimination and general well-being.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM A DETOX/CELLULITE MASSAGE?
Almost everyone can benefit from a Detox/Cellulite massage as it livens up dull, rough skin giving a
fresh, smooth result. This form of massage is beneficial for weight loss as it aids the elimination of
toxins and helps get the circulation moving whilst stimulating the muscles.
This is suited particularly to clients who suffer with cellulite or dull looking skin. For the best results this type of massage should be done as a course, generally 6-10 treatments or for a general detox a ‘one off’ at least twice a year is advised.
These detoxing massages are typically advised at the change of season though with the environmental elements and stresses constantly around these days any time of the year will suffice.
This massage is not recommended during pregnancy.
WHAT SHALL I EXPECT IN A TREATMENT?
The appointment begins with a short consultation, this is necessary in order to establish if there are any
medical reasons/contra-indications as to why the client may not be suited to this treatment. The client
will be left to undress (in private) into their undergarments, then once the massage begins the client will
lie on a plinth/table covered with paper towels.
NB. Please wear old undergarments as the herbs may stain whites.
During a treatment I will start by body brushing the skin to awaken the circulation followed then with a massage with warm oil in to the specific area to be treated thus relaxing and warming the muscle. Following this the Ayurvedic (Indian) Herbs will be mixed with warm oil to make a paste and this is then rubbed and massaged into the body. These actions aid in the breakdown of cellulite and toxins whilst warming up the body and moving the lymphatic system which is essentially the debris/waste transport system for the human body.
