WORD IS: DETOXIFY IN 2008

Many health-conscious people are seeking East Indian spa treatments to achieve a toxin-free body.

Shirodhara Treatment, Detox Treatment, Wellness TreatmentsPHOENIX–In fashion, the words “flowy,” “bold” and “bright” are the buzz words that we all have to keep in mind for 2008. In health and beauty, the key word for the New Year is “detoxify.”

According to Jeanie Marcelino, Spa Director at Suddenly Slimmer Day Spa in Phoenix, ridding our bodies of toxins, accumulated from poor diet and lack of exercise, is the main cause of toxin build-up that results in lackluster hair, tired looking skin, cellulite-ridden body and aching bones and muscles. Marcelino declares that spa-goers are seeking ways to let their body start anew through various detoxification processes. And one healing system seems to be a popular choice-Ayurveda.

According to Ayurveda (a 5000-year-old Science of Life established in India) each of us inherits a unique proportion of three mind/body principles called doshas. The three doshas, Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, create our specific mental and physical characteristics.

“Luzivone Damaceno, owner and beloved matriarch of Suddenly Slimmer Day Spa, has traveled to Poona, India and studied Ayurvedic therapies and yoga massage with world-renowned Ayurveda Master, Kusum Modak. Damaceno has since then shared her knowledge of Ayurveda and the philosophies of the East Indian healing system to all massage therapists and estheticians working in the spa.

What Damaceno learned in India is that Ayurvedic treatments not only detoxify the body of things unwanted, it also promotes a clear mind and a more centered being. When a client requests an Ayurvedic treatment, she should expect her spa treatment provider to do an assessment of her body type, or dosha, first. Once an assessment is done, the spa treatment provider will then customize the herbal oils and the kind of Ayurvedic treatment the client will receive. Then the detoxification begins.

“Whether a client wants to achieve shiny, healthy hair, or younger-looking skin, or wants to maintain a clear mind and sound body, she needs to first start with a ‘blank slate’ and get rid of the toxins. An Ayurveda treatment can definitely clean out the body’s system and let the natural glow come through,” said Marcelino.

For those wanting a toxin-free body, Suddenly Slimmer Day Spa offers Ayurveda packages that will surely bring relaxation back after the hectic holiday season and detoxify the body to prepare it for a healthier year with glowing, radiant skin.
