Health – Our Greatest Wealth
With today’s hectic lifestyles and the constant pressure to achieve, finding balance has become even more of a priority. We often hear the saying “health is our greatest wealth (it’s the slogan on the Therapy Hub building behind the Chiropractic Clinic where I’m based) and it couldn’t be more accurate.
The quest for wellbeing is an investment in our most valuable asset. In a world where prevention is far better than cure, holistic therapies play a vital role in safeguarding our health and enhancing our overall quality of life.
The Preventative Power of Holistic Therapies
Holistic therapies focus on treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. By addressing the root causes of physical and mental stress, these therapies work as a preventive measure, helping to maintain good health. Here’s how they contribute to prevention:
- Stress Reduction – Chronic stress is a major contributor to various health issues. Holistic therapies, including massage, reflexology, and holistic facials, are known for their stress-reducing benefits, which can prevent stress-related illnesses.
- Pain Management – Managing chronic pain conditions through holistic therapies can prevent the progression of such ailments and reduce the need for medications that may have side effects.
- Enhanced Immunity – A strong immune system is a cornerstone of good health. Regular holistic therapy sessions have been shown to boost immunity, making the body more resilient to illnesses.
- Optimised Sleep – Sleep is crucial for the body’s recovery and repair mechanisms. Holistic therapies are often associated with improved sleep quality, helping to prevent sleep-related health issues.
- Mental Wellbeing – A calm and relaxed mind is better equipped to handle life’s challenges. Holistic therapies contribute to mental well-being, which can prevent the onset of mental health issues
The Holistic Approach
Holistic therapies focus on treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. They recognise the inter-connectedness of all aspects of our being and aim to restore balance and harmony.
1. Massage Therapy
Massage has been practised for thousands of years and has gained widespread recognition for its physical and psychological benefits. Research has shown that regular massages can reduce stress, alleviate muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. In a cumulative sense, these benefits add up, resulting in better overall physical and mental health.

2. Reflexology
Reflexology is based on the idea that specific points on the feet, hands, ears and face correspond to different organs and systems in the body.
Through the application of pressure to these points, reflexologists aim to improve the functioning of these areas. Research has shown that reflexology can help with pain management, relaxation, and stress reduction.
Cumulative sessions can lead to sustained improvements in various health conditions, including relieving digestive disorders, reducing blood pressure, mitigating the debilitating effects of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibroymyalgia and Dementia.
Reflexology and the Theta Brainwave
Reflexology, in particular, is known for its ability to facilitate the body’s entry into the theta brainwave state, which is deeply meditative. This state has numerous benefits, including:
- Relaxing the Mind and Body: Theta brainwave state induces profound relaxation, helping to release stress and anxiety, and promoting a sense of calm and well-being.
- Increasing Creativity and Intuition: Theta is associated with enhanced creativity and intuition, making it an ideal state for problem-solving, artistic endeavors, and innovative thinking.
- Empowering Learning and Problem-Solving Skills: In theta, the mind becomes highly receptive to new information, making it a valuable tool for learning and improving cognitive functions.
- Improving Sleep Quality and Healing: The theta state is linked to improved sleep quality and the body’s ability to heal and regenerate.
- Making the Mind More Receptive to Change and Therapy: In this state, the subconscious mind becomes more open to positive suggestions and therapeutic interventions.

3. Holistic Facials
Holistic facials, which for MindBody Oasis, include facial reflexology and Zone Face Lift, are not only about improving the skin’s appearance but also about nurturing the inner spirit.
Facial reflexology works on the principles of traditional reflexology but is applied to the face. Zone Face Lift is an holistic facial treatment that incorporates facial reflexology, yet also combines ancient healing techniques (Gua Sha/crystals) with modern science.
Research on holistic facials is limited, but they are known to reduce stress, promote a deep sense of well-being. Cumulative treatments can lead to a radiant and rejuvenated complexion as well as a relaxed mind leading to improved sleep and greater sense of focus and composure.
