Our beauty lines
Based both on the needs of your skin and scientific findings, the manual treatment method of TEAM DR JOSEPH starts deep in the tissue. Following the natural laws of function, the skin’s metabolism is brought into balance: The nervous system is calmed, facial expressions become relaxed, the flow is harmonized and micro-circulation is normalized, with the aim of caring for and maintaining the holistic feel of your skin, your health and your incomparable beauty.

This natural beauty line for face and body originates from the deepness of the glacier in the Ă–tztal Alps. The basis of the beauty line consists of Mica Glacial and Aqua Glacial. These exclusive elixirs taken from the glacier protect the cells. Furthermore, they provide moisture and make sure moisture is saved in the skin in the long term to keep it tight and elastic. Hence, one of the most important characteristics of Glacisse is its cell-renewing effect, which equals natural skin rejuvenation.
Silver quartzite treatments take their roots from the traditional healing crafts of the Alps and blend the health-giving powers of wild herbs and the incomparable effects of silver quartzite. A natural healing concept which fascinates our therapists more by the day, silver quartzite treatments activate the body’s own self-healing powers and provide complete detoxification and a deep sense of relaxation. Come and discover the flowing, relaxing effect of the local smudging ritual and the mystical call of the ancient stones.
The countryside of the beautiful Sarntal Valley abounds in Swiss mountain pine: The unusual microclimate of the region, the acidic soil at an elevation of between 1,600 and 2,400 m and the pure mountain air provide the perfect conditions for its healing powers to develop. The Trehs of legend was a „herb fairy“ from the Sarntal Valley, well-versed in the power of the plants; by night, when the witches gathered at the mystical site of the „Stoanerne Mandln“ (stone men), she would pick the branches from mountain pine and throw them into the fire. Even then, the perfume of the mountain pine was famed for its exhilarating effects and its power to free the spirit and instil energy.

Similde’s Sauna Area 30
Clay sauna Argilla Why clay? • Clay quickly and efficiently regulates air humidity and provides a healthy room climate. • Clay stores and intensively reflects the heat. • Clay reflects a high part of the heat radiation (natural infrared radiation). • Clay saunas are known for preventing allergies and different chronic diseases.
31
Tips for a perfect sauna • Take your time! It takes at least two hours to fully enjoy a sauna experience. • Avoid effort, stress and hectic! Sauna is all about quiet and relaxation. • Start your sauna session neither hungry nor on a full stomach! Allow for a two-hour gap between the sauna session and your last main meal. • Shower and towel dry thoroughly before entering the sauna cabin. • Warm up your body before a sauna session! Start with a warm footbath to facilitate the perspiration process. • Do not wear any garments during the sauna, to allow the heat reach your skin unhindered and to prevent
32
skin irritation caused by sweat sticking to your body. • Avoid any physical effort! Any activity such as exercise may lead to the unnecessary overload of the circulatory- and respiratory system. • We recommend keeping sauna session between ten to 15 minutes, depending on your personal condition. If you no longer feel comfortable, leave the sauna cabin. • After each sauna session, cool off! First cool down the airways breathing in some fresh air, then use cold water or ice to work your way from the limbs towards the heart, i.e. from the arms and legs to the spine and torso and finally the head. If you wish to cool off completely, you may avail
yourself of the plunge pool; always take a refreshing shower before diving into the plunge pool! • After cooling off, gently warm up your feet with a warm footbath and wear wool socks to maximise the beneficial effects. • Take a break and relax! Rest for at least 30 minutes in between sessions. • Repeat the sauna sessions up to three times at most. Sauna can improve health even in summer, strengthening the immune system and cooling down the body. • For any information, please contact our competent staff. They will be happy to advise you on the various treatments as well as on the sauna effects and the daily infusion programmes.
