Well-being
These days we live in a stressed and accelerated manner. Etymologically the word stress literally means “aggression”. This constant, everyday tension we call stress leads to the release of catecholamines which generate an increase of lipids in the arteries. This entails a risk of generating cardiovascular problems, also a lack of control of the levels of blood cholesterol, which could lead to a number of diseases.
As a result, the daily accumulation of stress, as well as provoking mid and long term illnesses, as we have seen, also affects us at short term as it has a direct impact on the weakening of the immune system, making us more vulnerable to the viruses and bacteria around us.
Consequently, combating stress and rediscovering the balance is not a fad or a whim, but a matter of physical and mental health.
To combat it we need to stimulate the production of serotonin in our metabolism, which is directly linked to mood, emotions and depressive states. It also affects cardiovascular functioning, regulates the secretion of hormones like the growth hormone and is linked to the production of endorphins, which cause a pleasurable effect, making us feel good and relaxed.
This is the reason why the demand for well-being and relaxation treatments in beauty salons has dramatically increased in the last few years.
Customers no longer go to beauty salons to treat imperfections. They also want it to become the place and time of the day to switch off, relax and regain emotional and physical balance. To this end, professionals have a number of methods at their disposal. These methods stimulate serotonin and endorphins through a combination of aromatherapy and massage techniques, including ayurvedic massage, accrupresure, Californian massage...
Chocotherapy by Freihaut brings together both concepts: aromatherapy and massage with cocoa oil, which helps our body dispose of the accumulated stress while filling it with energy and vitality
Besides, cocoa is also known to contain natural antioxidants such as polyphenols, theobromine and tannin, which have beneficial effects both physically, because of their vasodilating action and a stimulation of blood flow (which helps to reduce cellulite) and psychologically, by providing a feeling of vitality and well-being.
