Complementary Treatments
Welcome to the section dedicated to "Complementary Treatments", a special corner of the site where I have the pleasure of sharing with you some of the most fascinating and beneficial techniques that enrich the holistic approach to well-being.
On this page, I personally present to you a selection of practices that I consider precious for their power to harmonize body, mind and spirit: Vietnamese massage, moxibustion, chromotherapy and guasha.
​
My journey into the world of holistic treatments has taught me that each person is unique, and so must be the path to well-being.
Precisely for this reason, I have chosen to offer these complementary practices, which can be integrated into your personal journey of health and harmony.
1
Vietnamese massage
Vietnamese massage is a therapeutic practice deeply rooted in the cultural tradition of Vietnam. This type of massage is distinguished by its specific techniques, which include delicate but incisive manipulations, deep pressures and the use of rhythmic and fluid movements. It focuses on the body's energy meridians to restore balance and promote the flow of vital energy, or "Qi". Vietnamese massage is particularly effective for relieving muscle tension, improving blood and lymphatic circulation, reducing stress and promoting a deep sense of relaxation and well-being.

Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine therapeutic treatment that uses the heat produced by burning dried mugwort to stimulate the body's energy points. This technique aims to strengthen the blood, stimulate the flow of Qi and maintain overall health. It is particularly suitable for those suffering from conditions caused by a deficiency of yang or internal cold, such as joint pain, slow digestion, tiredness and to strengthen the immune system. Moxibustion is also known for its role in improving fertility and treating chronic diseases.

Chromotherapy
Chromotherapy, or color therapy, is a technique that uses color and light to influence physical and emotional well-being. Each color has specific frequencies with different therapeutic properties that can help rebalance the body's energies on various levels. For example, blue has a calming effect and is used to treat stress and insomnia, while red stimulates energy and can help with fatigue and apathy. Chromotherapy takes advantage of this diversity to promote balance and general well-being, acting positively on moods, physical energy and organic functions.

Guasha
Guasha is a traditional Chinese technique that involves using a smooth tool to "scrape" the skin in specific areas of the body. This practice aims to improve blood circulation and promote normal flow of energy and body fluids. Guasha is effective in treating muscle stiffness and pain, improving joint mobility, reducing inflammation and stimulating the immune system. While it may leave temporary marks on the skin, these are considered part of the healing process, marking the removal of toxins and the restoration of energy flow.
