The guiding mission behind Holistic Therapies, Inc., is to assess clients according to their health needs. Services include anti-aging medicine, detoxification, massage and aromatherapy, and mesotherapy and mesolift.

Critical hormones decline in every individual after the age of 35, increasing one’s risk for heart disease, osteoporosis, obesity, and reduced quality of life.

Anti-aging medicine is the administration of hormones with HGH (human growth hormone) to the levels of young adulthood to return an individual to optimum hormonal levels. Benefits include: lower blood pressure, lower levels of cholesterol, reduced risk for heart disease and stroke, reduced risk for osteoporosis, and increased lean muscle tissue. Individuals notice improved uptake of oxygen, improved immune function, the decreased appearance of wrinkles, improved sexual drive, and improved mood.

Other services offered at Holistic Therapies, Inc. include detoxification. Exposure to toxins from the environment, such as pesticides and air pollution, can create an overload of heavy metals in an individual’s body, resulting in health distress.

Detoxification through the use of a sauna, allows the body to remove mercury, lead, cadmium and other heavy metals that are linked with heart disease, cancer, ADD, and other diseases. Chelation refers to a specified protocol to remove these toxins from the body safely.

Saunas are a time-honored way to rid the body of toxins through perspiration that allows the body’s natural process of detoxification to be accelerated. A 30-minute session purportedly burns about 600 calories.

Far-infrared therapy helps the body remove toxins such as pesticides, plastics, and heavy metal residues from the tissues.

Benefits from these detoxification therapies include reduced pain, soreness, inflammation, reduced cellulite, decreased acne, a reduction in fine lines, a reduced risk for heart disease and chronic fatigue.

Other services include massage such as neuromuscular re-education, manual lymph drainage, trigger point therapy, cranialsacral therapy, physical therapy rehabilitation, myofascial release and foot reflexology.

Last, mesotherapy and mesolift are the microinjections of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and medications to nourish and sculpt the body. Injections are painless and made in the mesoderm, or “middle layer” of fat in the body, to help break down fat. Benefits include fat reduction, increased strength and muscle tone. A mesolift is targeted to plumping up the face by removing fine lines and improving the appearance of wrinkles.
