3 Tips to Healing the Body Holistically at Home

Holistic spa at home treatments can heal. 

Rule number one to successfully accomplish any lifestyle shift is to make a conscious choice to do so. To encompass and fully immerse in the journey of meeting, and even surpassing, the demands of what is necessary to achieve a healthy body for the long run. A healthy whole requires consistency. It’s in accordance with a holistic lifestyle, one of balance, wellness, and discipline.

To heal the body essentially means to promote homeostasis among all the body’s systems, and such a feat requires both a systemic and local approach. Systemic refers to practices that influence the body in its entirety, such as exercise and nutrition. Local means topical practices or those that impact specific areas of the body. It’s a targeted way of treating the body from the outside in, this includes skincare and massage therapy.

Daily practices and rituals from home are the secret to attaining the ultimate healthy body which builds the groundwork for when healing of the body is necessary at any stage of life. Our body is the sum of all its intricate parts, so naturally, to support optimal well-being, we must nurture it dynamically.

Holistic Spa Tip #1 – Nourish and Move Your Body

Nutrition and movement, simplified, are the building blocks to fueling the body’s energy source and life, both in the figurative and literal sense. It is important to provide the body with all the nutrients it needs by eating a balanced diet and possibly supplementing. Supplements are intended to compensate when there are deficiencies. Some common cases to supplement include taking a Vitamin B complex when you experience continuous high stress. Adding a Vitamin D supplement, if a blood test reveals that your Vitamin D levels are low, which can be the cause of constant fatigue. Perhaps if you have odd aches and pains, taking omega-3 fatty acids may be recommended for its anti-inflammatory action. Consulting with a nutritionist can offer you a more personalized plan.

Holistic Spa Tip #2 Touch Yourself

Holistic spa skincare and self-massage are two important elements of the art of holistic healing and wellness. They work together to make a difference externally inward. Specific areas of the body are addressed locally and treated topically. Skincare works to regenerate, nourish, moisturize, and hydrate the body’s largest organ. Overall, body care helps protect and repair the skin’s moisture barrier for a healthier and younger-looking appearance.  Soy Beauty® Anti-Aging Hand & Body Complex is one advanced formula created to manage skin aging below the neck.  Hippophae Smoothing Body Lotion with 10% AHA is another intensive option to shed dead skin cells and attain smoother softer skin.

Holistic spa massage promotes circulation which increases oxygen and nutrients to all the body’s cells. It also facilitates lymphatic drainage ushered alongside the circulatory system. This boosts immunity and helps the body purge itself of toxins. Massage is also an effective addition to a cellulite treatment plan combined with a topical cellulite home care routine like the LipoMelt® trio home system. Self-massage sessions do not need to be long or super time-consuming. You can incorporate it into a daily routine, perhaps after a shower, even better, following a contrast shower, where your circulatory system will already be pumping from the shift in temperatures.

Dry brushing is a lymphatic drainage massage modality.

Holistic Spa Tip #3 Make Sleep a Priority

The body rejuvenates, strengthens, and heals best when in a state of rest. That ultimate standard can be reached during sleep. Sleep can improve health systemically. There are different scientifically-backed schools of thought regarding whether you can catch up on lost sleep. Regardless, for any approach to fully benefit your overall being, having a constant and sufficient amount of sleep daily is critical and foundational for enhancing all other wellness efforts. 

Final Thought

Maintaining a balanced diet, staying physically active, caring for and nurturing your body from the outside-in, and allowing it to reset, are vital. Ultimately, embarking on the path of holistic wellness and healing is truly the synergy of mind and body facilitated by consistent daily actions and developed habits. As the saying goes, “where there is a will, there is a way,” it’s a matter of getting started, doing a little at a time at first, until it becomes second nature.
