NASAL REFLEXOLOGIA
It is a practice very Antigua used from the time of Mesopotamia, based on the
connection reflexológica between the diverse structures of the organism and different
points placed in the nasal cavity
The doctor Bonnier, I medicate, laringólogo raise a global representation of the body
to level of the nasal zones. In the 19th century studies realized by doctors determined
that the nasal reflexología
• was helping the women to relieve the menstrual pains

The principal therapeutic points of the mucous nasal one are placed in the zones
previous, average and later of average and low cornetes
The technology of reflexología endonasal can divide in two categories:
In the low cornete, of ahead to behind, we can find:
• The genital and urinary organs together with the low member.
• The abdominal organs.
• The esophagus.
• The cervical region and the top member
The previous part, ahead of the cornetes, understands:
• above, ahead of the top cornete, the olfactory zone and that of the anxiety
with respiratory manifestations.
• In the half, ahead of the average cornete, the zone of the face, of the disartria
and of the vision.
• Down below, in the previous extremity of the low cornete, the respiratory
tract, the cardiovascular zone

FOOT REFLEXOLOGY
At present, we give very little importance to the feet, it is
the great one forgotten our body and nevertheless, is the
part of the body where they are going to stop multitude of

one is the beginning of the foot reflexology.
In her, by means of the massage it is possible to influence
to way I reflect on the corresponding organs and entrails,
apart from the importance it diagnoses that it has.
The good results of the foot reflexology and the shortage
of side effects, it does that today in day, frequency is
applied with mas by the sanitary professionals, between them the physiotherapists.
Reflexology is based on the treatment of reflex, or whatever it is, on massaging certain areas
which reflect, in a specific area of the body (the foot in this case).
Reflexology uses the knowledge of the nerve connections between segments of internal
organs, muscles and skin, to influence the level of reflection on complaints from the outside.
This application technique is suitable for creating a stimulating reflex areas of the feet to
strengthen bodily functions
TREATMENT TECHNIQUE
The Reflexology is performed on both feet, starting with the left foot, trying all the reflex
points and end up trying all of the right foot reflex points Feet is recommended to work from
areas of the head to the lymphatic system Depending on the area or system can be used to
treat various types of pressure:
Direct pressure: made with the thumb at an angle of 90 °.

Circular pressure sedative: done with the thumb in the form of concentric circles in
the opposite direction to clockwise.
Stimulating circular pressure: made with the thumb from the periphery of the point to
try, making circles in the sense of clockwise.
SEQUENCE OF TREATMENT
1. Hygiene and cleaning of the feet.
2. Preparation for massage demonstrations: flexion / extension and rotation of the ankle and
toes ..
3. We cover the foot with massage oil, foot divide the systems, treating each point carefully.
DURATION OF THE SESSION
Usually between 15 to 90 minutes.
PATIENT'S REACTION
During the session
1. Pain during a reflex zone massage.

CRYOTHERAPY
Cryotherapy is the application of cold on the body. It has, in general, less effective than
thermotherapy. Its main effects on the body are:
• Vasoconstriction
• Analgesia, anesthesia.
• It is, therefore, anti-inflammatory, decreasing the blood supply to a particular place.
• Increases in blood pressure.
Uses:
• Sprains
• Also in cases of vascular inflammation
• For the treatment of sunstroke and heat stroke.
• To reduce fever.
• As destructive method for treating skin tumors (skin cancer) or other organs, in this case
might also be called cryosurgery
Applications
• Bags of ice.
• Bathtubs.
• Hibernation
• Application of liquid nitrogen spray to destruction of benign or malignant.

MEDICAL
ENGLISH
Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine that uses volatile plant materials,
known as essential oils, and other aromatic compounds for the purpose of altering a
person's mind, mood, cognitive function or health.
Some essential oils such as tea tree have demonstrated anti-microbial effects, but
there is still a lack of clinical evidence demonstrating efficacy against bacterial, fungal,
or viral infections. Evidence for the efficacy of aromatherapy in treating medical
conditions remains poor, with a particular lack of studies employing rigorous
methodology, however some evidence exists that essential oils may have therapeutic
potential.
Modes of application
The modes of application of aromatherapy include:
• Aerial diffusion: for environmental fragrancing or aerial disinfection
• Direct inhalation: for respiratory disinfection, decongestion, expectoration as
well as psychological effects
• Topical applications: for general massage, baths, compresses, therapeutic skin
care.
Materials
Some of the materials employed include:
• Absolutes: Fragrant oils extracted primarily from flowers or delicate plant
tissues through solvent or supercritical fluid extraction (e.g., rose absolute). The
term is also used to describe oils extracted from fragrant butters, concretes,
and enfleurage pommades using ethanol.
• Carrier oils: Typically oily plant base
triacylglycerides that dilute essential oils for use
on the skin (e.g., sweet almond oil).

• Essential oils: Fragrant oils extracted from plants chiefly through steam
distillation (e.g., eucalyptus oil) or expression (grapefruit oil). However, the
term is also occasionally used to describe fragrant oils extracted from plant
material by any solvent extraction.
• Herbal distillates or hydrosols: The aqueous by-products of the distillation
process (e.g., rosewater). There are many herbs that make herbal distillates
and they have culinary uses, medicinal uses and skin care uses Common herbal
distillates are chamomile, rose, and lemon balm.
• Infusions: Aqueous extracts of various plant material (e.g., infusion of
chamomile).
• Phytoncides: Various volatile organic compounds from plants that kill
microbes. Many terpene-based fragrant oils and sulfuric compounds from
plants in the genus "Allium" are phytoncides, though the latter are likely less
commonly used in aromatherapy due to their disagreeable odors.
• Vaporizer (Volatized) Raw Herbs: Typically higher oil content plant based
materials dried, crushed, and heated to extract and inhale the aromatic oil
vapors in a direct inhalation modality.
The Benefit of an Aroma ~ Inhaling Essential Oils
Essential oils that are inhaled into the lungs offer both psychological and physical
benefits. Not only does the aroma of the natural essential oil stimulate the brain to
trigger a reaction, but when inhaled into the lungs, the natural constituents (naturally
occurring chemicals) can supply therapeutic benefit. Diffusing eucalyptus essential oil
to help ease congestion is a prominent example.
If not done correctly and safely, however, the use of essential oils can have severe
consequences.
The Benefit of Physical Application
Essential oils that are applied to the skin can be absorbed into the bloodstream. The
constituents of essential oils can aid in health, beauty and hygiene conditions. Since
essential oils are so powerful and concentrated, they should never be applied to the
skin in their undiluted form. To apply essential oils to the skin, essential oils are
typically diluted into a carrier such as a cold pressed vegetable oil, also known as a
carrier oil.

In addition to therapeutic benefit at the emotional and physical level, essential oils are
helpful in other applications. Essential oils can be used in household and laundry
cleaners. Some oils act as a natural insect repellent and pesticide.
Safety concerns
In addition, there are potential safety concerns . Because essential oils are highly
concentrated they can irritate the skin when used in undiluted form. Therefore, they
are normally diluted with a carrier oil for topical application. Phototoxic reactions may
occur with citrus peel oils such as lemon or lime. Also, many essential oils have
chemical components that are sensitisers (meaning that they will after a number of
uses cause reactions on the skin, and more so in the rest of the body). Some of the
chemical allergies could even be caused by pesticides , if the original plants are
cultivated. Some oils can be toxic to some domestic animals, with cats being
particularly prone.
