RED WINE EXTRACT

Rich in polyphenols. Studies link food rich in polyphenols with a healthy heart. As such, regular consumption of red wine has been partially contributed to the good vascular health of the Mediterranean people. Polyphenols found in the skin and seeds of grapes have strong antioxidant action, helping to protect blood vessels and maintain good circulation.

REFLEXOLOGY

Reflexology involves the manipulation of specific areas on the feet - and sometimes on the hands or limbs - with the goal of bringing the body into homeostasis, or balance. According to reflexologists, distinct regions of the feet correspond to particular organs or body systems. Stimulating the appropriate region with a thumb or finger is intended to eliminate energy blockages thought to produce pain or disease in the associated structures.
