Enlivening Your Whole Being

Something magical happen each time I give a Dr Hauschka facial.  Mid way into the Classic Treatment my clients drift off into a deeply relaxed slumber.  It never fails, as I start to perform the lymphatic simulation which is  the heart of the Dr Hauschka Treatment, soft snoring sounds can be heard from my snoozing clients.  I feel happy as I know they have dropped into a deeply restorative state.  What is it about the lymph portion of the Dr Hauschka treatment that cause this deep relaxation response?

Lymph stimulation is a  technique, which harmonizes the lymphatic system, rather than a medical treatment like lymphatic drain­age. The lymph system has capillaries which originate in all connective tissue. Their function is to remove water, meta­bolic waste and pathogens from the fluid between cells. Lymph stimulation pro­motes cleansing and strengthens elastic fibres in the connective tissue. This method enlivens the entire being as there is a correspondence between areas of the face and systems of the body. The fore­head and eyes relate to the Nerve-Sense System (head, nerves and senses), the nasal area and upper cheek to the Rhythmic System (heart and lungs) and the lower cheek and chin to the Metabolic-Limb System (metabolism and move­ment).

Lymph stimulation is performed with a refined, gentle and rhythmical movement over the entire face progressing from the forehead down toward the chin using two silky soft cosmetic brushes. This light handed movement is done ideally in a quiet space away from the commotion of the outside world. The pro­cess stimulates and supports the living, rhythmical flow of the lymph. The power of gentle rhythms brings on a glowing, pleasantly aromatic skin and a refreshed feeling. This serene massage is brought to conclusion with the application of spe­cial ampules containing rhythmitized substances (the choice of the ampule will depend on individual needs).  I have heard it said that the lymph stimulation in the Dr Hauschka Treatment brings life energy ( also known as prana or chi)  to the body, and much needed restorative rest.
