Aftercare & Homecare
What now?
You've had your well-being session and hopefully you are feeling super relaxed!
After a reflexology treatment, because the therapy works on the entire body and emotional system via the foot body map, some people experience a slight but temporary flare up of symptoms or feel very tired - this is due to the toxins leaving your body and is nothing to be alarmed about.
After an Ayurvedic facial treatment, as this treatment has worked on marma points on your face which correspond to key connective points of the body system and emotions/consciousness, you also need to practise good self care to maximise the benefits of the treatment.
Read on for some recommendations on how you can optimise the benefits of your treatment.
Aftercare over the next 24 hours
Honour your well-being investment and rest up!
Remain hydrated.
Don't eat anything too heavy or spicy.
Homecare as a regular practice
Keep that water intake up!
Eat healthy - avoid processed foods.
Build in time to unwind on a daily basis; even 5 mins a day of 'time out' can help.
Get some quality YOU time!
Make time for exercise – even a short walk once a day to get some fresh air and natural sunlight.
Develop your interests.
Factor in FUN!
Practise self care, be kind to yourself.
Try relaxation techniques.
Practise good sleep hygiene – try not to have screen time right before sleeping, ensure the bedroom is at a good temperature (our bodies generally like to have cool air, you can still be snuggly under your duvet), try reading a little (from a book, not a Kindle) before sleep or listen to a podcast/ambient sounds/sleep meditation.
This is a lovely free yoga nidra guided meditation on YouTube, great for improving sleep and general de-stress, that I have used many times and it's only 20 mins. Literally lie down, put the track on and just listen to what is being said.
