Bodywork and Beauty

From ancient times until now, the care of the physical body has been an essential part of attaining health and well-being. We have heard stories of Cleopatra bathing in baths of milk and honey. And no doubt the nobility has always “indulged” itself with an abundance of treatments designed to enhance their physical appearance and emotional well-being.

But for many, it is a new discovery and experience, thus this chapter of the Natural Yellow Pages, brings you many practitioners that are trained in the arts of caring for the body. These professionals can offer you quality treatments to enhance your experience of life in your body.

Natural treatments for the skin and body are much more “traditional” than anything that “traditional medicine” can invent. Chemical potions have a very recent history as opposed to the herbal remedies that have come down to us through the ages. Herbal steam facials have long been a way to rejuvenate tired skin, herbal salves have “always” been available to soothe calloused or damaged skin, and using aroma for healing is also not a new phenomenon.

Therapeutic Massage is also not a new modality, but was used long before the term “therapeutic massage” was invented... from a woman rubbing her tired mate’s shoulders (or vice versa) to a courtesan offering soothing relaxing massage. Bodywork has been around for eons and can be used for relaxation as well as for healing of physical and emotional wounds.

We live in stressful times... The speed of our life, the pollutants in the air, the noise of our environment, the over-abundance of things to do... For most of us, these are part of our daily life. We need to make the time to “take care of ourselves” by providing our body with care and relaxation. Browse through this chapter, and discover the multitude of possibilities that await you.

Remember, your life is what you make it... Make it wonder-full!
