HENRI CHENOT METHOD: ONE PHILOSOPHY, MANY METHODS

The healthcare programmmes, offered to you by Henri Chenot and his staff of doctors and theurapeutists at the Espace Henri Chenot, are based on different treatments well related among them and which aim at detoxifying your body, revitalizing the natural functions and recovering your energies. The “global” health and well-being of the client, considered as a whole of body, soul and psyche, are on the basis of the philosophy of the health which is achieved through different treatments at the Espace.

The Cure Method

First of all we start with an accurate evaluation of the general health condition of the client. There are also different diagnostic means at our disposal which can complete the medical visit.

Evaluation of the “toxaemic” level: through a questionnaire and an appropriate visit, we can measure the right penetration degree of toxins in the body, which is the main cause of many troubles and pathologies, including overweight.

Body analysis: the physical build of the client is tested on the whole.With the impedenziometria, we can measure the proportion between the fatty tissue / lean tissue mass, an essential element to evaluate the overweight.

Bioenergetic check up: with a special equipment we assess the working conditions of the life functions and of the energy circulation in our body.

Evaluation of the stress level: too much stress – certainly the evil of our civilization – is one of the elements which causes the organic toxification.

Biontologic evaluation of ageing: biontology, a science developed by Henri Chenot with his staff of doctors and biologists during over thirty years of research and experience of health treatments, gives us information about the little and big changes our body undergo during the life. The test measures the right ageing process of the client.

Functional – biologic testing: the problems of our clients are tested and faced according to the principles of the functional medicine; in this way we analyse not only the disturbance itself, but also the whole functional condition which causes it, too. For example as far as overweight is concerned, we check possible allergies, food allergies and surfeits; we take into account also the hormone balance; as regards depression we check the functions of neurotransmitters and the resistance to the free radicals. At the same time we check and take into account cardiovascular disturbances, the intestinal ecosystem, the prevention of ageing.

The Cure

After a close assessment of the psycho-physical condition of the client, the medical and cosmetic treatments of the chosen programmme (Comprehensive or SPA) are adjusted according to the needs of each client.

Depurative – detoxifying diet: the diet will be personalized and adjusted both on the base of the toxifying level we have assessed during the medical visit and the aimed targets in terms of losing weight.

Energetic treatments: they are bioenergetic medical treatments. With a special equipment we measure exactly the energetic flows of the body ducts. We spot possible energetic failures, drops and excess. Through specific medical treatments (for instance the biostimulation), we set again the balance between the energetic flows of the organism and the physiologic functions of the organs.

Hydroenergetic cure: water and nature are two means which can set again the balanced relation among the functions of our body, when they are used wisely in a well - structured therapy. Actually many functions depend on the right circulation of the various fluids. The stagnation, the motionless, the little fluidity or the exessive loss of the fluids ( with the consequence of dehydration) are the causes of various disturbances
and illnesses. In order to set again the right circulation of fluids we use the hydroenergetic cure with external applications - like baths - and internal applications – like the supply of liquids right in our organism.

The hydroenergetic cure (or energetic hydrotherapy) includes three treatments:

1. Hydro - massage: a particular massage-technique with water, enriched with essential oils and mother tints,which enhances a special salutary effect on the capillary vessels and on the peripheral blood circulation. The variations of temperature and the pressure of the waters, besides the addition of plant extracts, can guarantee a controlled vasodilatation or vasoconstriction of the blood capillaries. In this way we can achieve different effects:
   • draining-detoxifying: the drainage and the detoxification are the two most important functions of our capillaries because they have the fundamental task of eliminating the toxins and the fat infiltrated into the tissues.
   • stimulating: the stimulation is indicated for the toning-up effect on the tendon and muscular tissues and for strengthening the natural physiological functions. The special combination arouses an immediate tonic sensation at a physical and mental level.
   • energizing: it hinders and protects from the damages of ageing. A mixture of plants can stimulate, revitalise and support the natural mechanism of equilibrium and protection of the skin.
   • relaxing: it removes stress and its psycho-physical tensions.
2. Phyto-mud therapy: the second phase of hydrotherapy is the mud compress. After the hydro – jet session the body is ready to receive a complete treatment. The formula and the technique of the mud therapies have been improved during over thirty years of researches. The mud, rich and delicate like a face pack, is mixed up with pure micro-algae, green or white clay, pure essential oils, mother tints. It ensures fundamental effects, such as:
   • draining – detoxifying: useful for the organic detoxification and the lymphatic circulation, for which it has the very important task of eliminating the toxins and the fats from the tissues.
   • stimulating: the stimulation is indicated for the toning-up effect on the tendon and muscular tissues and for strengthening the natural physiological functions. It has an immediate invigorating action on the body and on the psyche.
   • energizing: it is especially indicated for its anti-age effects. It sets the equilibrium and the natural defence mechanisms of the skin thanks to its bioactivating and revitalising action.
   • relaxing: it removes stress, psychical, physical, nervous and muscular tensions,too.
3. Hydro-jets: it is the third and last step of hydrotherapy. This treatment restores energy and vitality. The water jet, sprinkled with accuracy on the body, gives it vigour and tone.

Massages: specific massages can help and support our body to get rid of the toxins, to loosen the stagnation of the liquids and to regenerate the tissues.

Cosmetic cures: they include detoxifying, stimulating and regenerating treatments for the face, the body and the sculp. They are based on the same cure principles of Henri Chenot method. They make use of specific products and essential substances.

Cosmetic medicine: in addition to the beauty cures and the basic beauty treatments, there also operations of cosmetic medicine, like peeling, biomesolift, wrinkle- reducing treatments using biocompatible fillers.

Group physical activity in the pool and in the gym: we draw a fitness plan which suits the physical condition of the client.

As after-care

The successful results achieved during the treatment period will not disappear when you go back home, because at the Espace you will receive: An individual post-treatment diet plan, a better knowledge of your body and the methods of maintenance of the health condition, through a personalized programme and the almost daily conferences about health and diet.
