General
Advice for Clients before a massage session
 | Drink plenty of water
following ant treatments as this will flush out toxins
which have been released from the tissues into the
organs of the body which deal with toxin removal. |
 | Do not eat a heavy meal
as this may cause a feeling of nausea, instead, eat
sparingly perhaps fruit, rice and vegetables and allow
your body to rest and use its energy on cleansing and
healing rather than on digesting food. |
 | Reduce tea and coffee
for 24 hours after session and avoid smoking (or cut
down) |
 | Replace tea and coffee
with water, fruit and vegetable juices and herbal teas
for a short time. |
 | Avoid alcohol for the
first 24 hours |
 | Take time to relax and
be quiet within yourself and to serve your mind
and body by giving them time to cleanse and heal. |
 | If exercising take
gentle exercise rather than stimulating sports e.g.
gentle swimming, cycling and walking. |
 | Have a warm bath or
shower to aid the relaxing of muscles and the mind. |
