How the Chromalift Facial Works

Chromalift facials use Phyto5 clay masks to provide quantum healing. Quantum healing refers to tapping into the mind-body connection to promote healing from within. The energy provided and used by Phyto5 products is measured using the Bovis Scale, or Life Force Index. This scale measures life force energy, either positive or negative energy.

The clay masks used during a Chromalift facial have registered around 12,000 Bovis units which is very high and in alignment with providing vital energy. Essential oils are added to the clay to balance conditions that can cause symptoms to appear.

In addition to the clay masks, the Biorhythmic Drainer replaces the irregularities with manual massage by producing gentle rhythms to enhance anti-aging and contouring treatments. There are five speeds that can be used based on different energetic drainage needs.

Lastly, the Chromapuncter-10 brings light therapy to the Chromalift facial. By using dichroic filters, the highest potency of light can be delivered, bringing the most powerful results. The electromagnetic waves used by the Chromapuncter are in alignment with the five elements of TCM and the seven chakras to help restore vital energy.

How Cupping Therapy works

Cupping therapy is usually divided into two main categories of wet cupping and dry cupping. Wet cupping involves making an incision so blood/fluid/infection can be drawn out of the body and into the cup. Needle cupping is another form of wet cupping which involves the use of acupuncture needles while cupping the skin.

Dry cupping, the less invasive and more common modern practice, involves pulling the skin via suction into the cup without puncturing the skin.

The main goal of cupping is to stimulate the targeting tissue and increase blood flow to the treated area. Cupping is often done to stimulate lymphatic drainage using the same methods. This is done by applying suction to the cups with a flame, or by manual or electrical method. Once the suction has been applied, the cup remains on the skin for a few minutes, increasing the temperature and vascular flow of that area.

Cupping therapy can take place on several parts of the body with the most often areas treated being the:

• Back
• Chest
• Abdomen
• Buttocks

This is due to the high volume of musculature in these areas and potential for greatest benefit of pain relief. However, the cups can be applied to smaller, more delicate areas like the neck, chin, behind the ear, and ankles.

When cupping therapy is done for lymphatic drainage, the cups may be applied to areas felt to be stagnant in an effort to stimulate and restore healthy lymphatic drainage. Cupping therapy is thought to manually lift and separate deep layers of tissue, allowing for increased lymphatic drainage. This increased lymphatic circulation promotes efficient waste and toxin removal.

Cups are usually left in place for about 5-10 minutes depending on the desired stimulus. There are usually skin changes which occur due to the suction which can look like circular purple and red bruises. These usually resolve within several days.

There have been several studies on cupping therapy, however the exact mechanism of action is still somewhat a mystery. A 2018 review looked at cupping benefits and the accompanying theories. These theories have been explored to explain the mechanism of action of cupping therapy (basically explaining why cupping therapy achieves the benefits). The four global benefits include pain reduction, muscle relaxation, immunological and hormonal balance, and toxin removal. Below are the theories explored with cupping:

• Pain reduction and changes in skin biomechanical properties: Pain-Gate Theory, Diffuse Noxious Inhibitory Controls, and Reflex Zone theory
• Muscle relaxation, changes in local tissue structure, and increased blood circulation: Nitric Oxide Theory
• Immunological and hormonal effects: Activation of the Immune System Theory
• Toxin and waste release and removal: Blood Detoxification Theory

This same review, after analyzing 64 studies on cupping therapy, noted not only does cupping therapy provide pain relief by improving blood flow to the area, but it can increase production of pain relieving chemicals in the brain. This is thanks to the comfort and relaxation cupping therapy induces on a systemic level.

How EFT Works

The user inhales the air via a comfortable cannula for about 20-30 minutes. The effect may be compared to inhaling a potentiated concentration of fresh mountain or sea air. As a result, it becomes easier for cells to utilize oxygen in the body. Patients will normally experience positive effects pretty quickly because improved oxygen utilization promotes (mitochondrial) cell activity and communication, regulates metabolism and releases new vital energy.

EFT operates on the premise that although a patient may be exhibiting physical symptoms, often they are linked to a deeper dysfunction of unresolved emotional issues. A practitioner must address all dysfunctions of the patient, whether biochemical, physical, psycho-emotional, or spiritual, to restore health. EFT is a therapy that may be used to address issues on the psycho-emotional level.

Understanding the importance of energy as quantum physics has shown us over the past century, it should be noted that we too as humans are complex energetic beings. A negative thought or deep-seated emotion may disrupt the body’s energy systems. Through EFT, tapping with the tips of fingers on acupuncture points on the face clears these energetic disruptions. In this way, the energy traveling through these channels is balances and flows freely throughout the body, and physical symptoms may dissipate. This connection of body and mind is now better scientifically understood through fields of science such as psycho-neuro-endocrine-immunology.

In other words, EFT is a process where we mentally “tune in” to specific emotional issues while stimulating certain meridian points on the body by tapping on them with our fingertips. It appears to balance disturbances in the meridian system. Once you implement EFT in your daily routine, your perspective on any upsetting past experiences begins to change into something challenging yet pleasurable. As you tap, the words come out easily and there is a progressive release of the negative feelings that you may have kept in your body for some time. This method works very simplistically, yet effectively. It can help clear past traumatic experiences and restore the energy balance between your body, mind, and spirit.
