Rhythmic flow from head to toe
“Your lymph flow has stagnated, I can tell just by looking at you.” These were the words of my friend before sending me to a Dr.Hauschka Esthetician. “Dr.Hauschka Skin Care has developed a unique full-body treatment to stimulate the lymph system. You’ll see, it will be great for you.” During the Dr.Hauschka full-body treatment, the esthetician applies rhythmic, “breathing” movements to the entire body over the course of approximately an hour and a half. The treatment boosts inner vitality, stimulating lymph flow and promoting regeneration and general well-being. The treatment leads to a deep state of relaxation, leaving one infused with a sense of inner tranquillity and balance - the perfect treatment for overworked people.

Grounded in one’s body
I arrive at the esthetician’s in a hurried rush. She first welcomes me with a warming foot bath. I breathe deeply and have the feeling I am at least somewhat more grounded in my own body. Then I lay on my stomach on the treatment bed, where I am covered in numerous towels and blankets. Only my back is exposed to allow my esthetician to massage it with pleasantly fragrant Dr.Hauschka Moor Lavender Body Oil, which I selected for its soothing and protective properties. And now I find myself completely submerged in the Dr.Hauschka full-body treatment: my esthetician places her palms in the middle of my spine and with her hands apart slowly massages up to my neck and down to my tailbone. She continues with circular motions, which by the end of the massage resonate throughout my entire body.

A new dimension of relaxation
On my back, the massage continues with my legs, feet and stomach – while initially surprising, all the more pleasant – followed by my hands, arms, shoulders and neck. When the esthetician takes my head in her hands and gently turns it to the left and to the right, the tension in my muscles drains away. But even higher dimensions of relaxation await: she then runs her hands through my hair and over my scalp, followed by a gentle massage of the lymph channels along my face. I wish I could lie here forever! But before I know it, she has finished – the hour and a half have flown by in no time. I may, or rather should, remain reclined for another ten minutes. I feel infused with tranquillity and sense a deep feeling of peace inside of me.
My colleagues notice a particular radiance in me in the days that follow. I do in fact feel very good, my tiredness has disappeared and my mood has improved noticeably. One thing I am sure of: from now on, I will be treating myself to a Dr.Hauschka full-body massage on a regular basis.

About the Dr.Hauschka full-body treatment
The Dr.Hauschka full-body treatment was developed in 1996 as a body treatment for Dr.Hauschka estheticians, who have been offering Dr.Hauschka face treatments since 1975. Only estheticians who have taken part in an additional half-year training programme may perform the full-body treatment. It is in fact quite distinct from the rhythmic massage of Dr. Margarethe Hauschka, developed by Dr. Rudolf Hauschka’s wife for therapists treating ill people. The Dr.Hauschka full-body treatment in contrast is performed on healthy people. Its focus is on promoting health and fortifying inner vitality. Dr.Hauschka estheticians in 10 countries now offer this treatment to their customers. Visit dr.hauschka.de/english/service/ to find Dr.Hauschka estheticians offering facial and full-body treatments.
