Building upon the pre-diagnosis provided by the Health & Wellness Advisor, a series of diagnostic tests and assessments are recommended that are most relevant to your individual needs. The comprehensive range of tests cover DNA, epigenetics, gut microbiome, micronutrients, hormone and inflammation. The scientific data is then professionally analysed and shared with our expert  team to ensure every element of your health will be looked after in a programme of care unlike any other.

TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE (TCM)

Traditional Chinese Medicine is over 2,000 years old and one of the most internationally recognised systems of health care. Its chief tenet is that of Qi, the body’s vital energy believed to circulate through channels that connect all our bodily organs and functions together. In alignment with the RAKxa philosophy, TCM aims to create a harmony of the internal body and external world, to rebalance the yin and yang through the elements of fire, earth, water, wood and metal. Our therapeutic treatments carried out by masters of this medicine include acupuncture, massage and herbal remedies as well as tai chi and qigong for ultimate movement and energy healing.

AYURVEDA

Dating back over 5,000 years, Ayurvedic philosophy denotes each individual has a specific constitution called prakruti, determining your physical, physiological, and mental character. Your prakruti is a balance between three bodily energies called doshas-pitta, vata, and kapha-that can be thrown off by innumerable factors from the environmental to the emotional. To help rebalance your doshas and achieve enhanced wellbeing, RAKxa’s Ayurvedic doctors use yoga, meditation, breathing exercises, diet, and numerous herbal remedies. Feel renewed with treatments to stimulate circulation, regulate digestion, strengthen muscles, bones, and blood vessels; improve your skin and body tone and activate the body’s powerful self-healing capabilities.

At RAKxa, we offer unique examples  of this methodology from all corners of the world: singing bowls from ancient Tibet; Zena Thai which uses a combination of Chi Nei Tsang and craniosacral therapy; chakra and pranic healing, part of ancient Ayurveda methodology, and healing with crystals which dates back to Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece. The transformative effects of energy healing help to unleash joy and peace by enhancing your body’s chemistry and hormone levels, unblocking energy channels and improving your overall wellbeing.
