(Based on Cosmofacial treatment created by Lone Sorensen)
Five elements facial treatment has been created by Cosmic Sole Tokyo, based on Cosmofacial treatment by a Danish reflexologist, Lone Sorensen. Its purpose is to work on both beauty and wellness by balancing all five elements.
'Cosmo' means 'harmonized universe' in Latin. The Universe is regarded as macrocosmo, whereas the human as microcosmo consisting of all components of the Universe.
Cosmofacial treatment is a therapy to balance the microcosmo by working on the specific points on the face.
According to the theory of the five elements, the nature consists of five elements of 'wood, fire, earth, metal, and water' with each element composed by Yin and Yang.
Meridians corresponding each element exist on the human body and we live by balancing Yin and Yang.
Five kinds of emotions, anger, joy, compassion, sadness, and fear is related to each corresponding element. It is said that when we are faced with strong emotion, the balance of five elements within us tends to be unbalanced.
The purpose of Cosmofacial treatment is to balance the five elements within us and activate the energy flow by stimulating the reflex zones and points on the face.
The treatment also enhances the beauty with the use of organic beauty products and the lift up technique.
