The heat here in Charleston is no joke. With temperatures well into the 90s (and Feel Factors somewhere in the 100s), you’ve got to find ways to keep cool. Sure, you know the basics – taking a dip at one of our beautiful beaches, sipping a glass of cold water, wearing your best, brimmed hat and staying indoors with the AC at full-blast. But we’ve got some new, more fun ways to beat the heat – all while getting treated here in our office.
Essential oils
Did you know we use DoTERRA essential oils in our office and can integrate them into our treatments? Peppermint, spearmint, eucalyptus, lavender, geranium, even chamomile are known as cooling essential oils. A couple of drops in our massage oils or applied behind your ears before a chiropractic adjustment or acupuncture treatment might be just what you need for a quick cool-down.
Special acupuncture points
With over 400 acupuncture points located all over the body, there have to be a few that target heat symptoms, right? Of course! Red itchy eyes, hives, sore throat, night sweats, acid reflux, constipation – these are just a few we can help heal. Depending on what ails you, we’ll put together a treatment plan to rid that pesky heat.
Soothing facials
They say the face, head and chest are more sensitive to temperature changes than the rest of the body. On those sizzling days where your face feels hot and swollen, why not try a facial to cool you down? We use only natural Hylunia Skin Care products, specifically designed to protect, preserve and pamper the skin. And who doesn’t love that cool mask applied at the end?
As we know from previous seasons, August is sure to be a scorcher. We’ve got 31 days to temper the heat. No better way than getting indoors — at Absolute Wellness Center. Stay cool, friends.
