General Info:
Arizona Leech Therapy:
During a treatment session, one or more leeches are placed on the body in locations specific to the medical issue. Some patients report feeling a small pinch; others describe the feeling as similar to a mosquito bite. This is when the leech hooks on.
Leeches will not hook on, by the way, if you have recently eaten garlic or if you have lotion or perfumes on your body so keep this mind when you come to your session.
There is a rhythmic pulling sensation as the leech begins feeding. In some cases the leech is removed in 2 minutes, in other cases, it may be left on for an hour and a half or until the leech naturally releases.
What the leech removes is approximately 30% blood and 70% toxins.
How deep do the leeches penetrate? They open your skin and go as deep as 1 1/2 milliliters.
The mark left behind looks like a three-pronged mark, something like the Mercedes automobile insignia. The mark fades away with time. We will wrap the treatment areas with a bandage.
Following treatment, there may be wound secretions. The fluid is typically blood, lymph, and a plus-like substance. It will very likely be dark in color. Most oozing occurs within 6 to 12 hours, however occasionally one might continue for up to 36 hours. It depends on the individual the viscosity of your blood and how quiet you remain.
Dead Sea Therapeutic Salt Rooms:
Salt Chalet Arizona is a unique microclimate that mimics the salt mines found throughout Eastern Europe. The therapeutic nature of these mines was first discovered many years ago when miners reported significant improvement in respiratory conditions after having spent hours below ground in salt mines. The air in salt mines is permeated with negative ions, which clears breathing passages and lungs and has a host of other effects that, according to studies, dramatically improve ailments, such as asthma, bronchitis, chronic ENT (ear-nose-throat) illnesses, eczema, psoriasis and insomnia. Recent medical studies in Europe and Canada have shown that salt rooms can also benefit other conditions such as snoring, colds, allergies, wheezing, smoker's cough, influenza and chest tightness. This therapy, called Speleothrapy (treatment in a natural salt cave) or Halotherapy (treatment in a simulated salt environment), is widely acclaimed and has been used since the 19th century in Europe. It has recently found its way to Israel and the United Kingdom, where in the past two years, dozens of salt rooms have been built, including in the private residences of families whose children suffer from respiratory ailments. A series of 10-12 sessions has been shown to make an enormous difference in patients' lives. The effect on children has been particularly dramatic.
The salt room phenomenon is on the verge of exploding here in the United States, with an assortment of salt rooms, caves and spas dotting the East Coast. Salt Chalet Arizona is the first such establishment in Scottsdale Arizona.
