Epsom salt, named for a bitter saline spring at Epsom in Surrey, England, is not actually salt but a naturally occurring pure mineral compound of magnesium and sulfate. Long known as a natural remedy for a number of ailments, Epsom salt has numerous health benefits.
Studies have shown that magnesium and sulfate are both readily absorbed through the skin, making Epsom salt baths an easy and ideal way to enjoy the amazing health benefits. Magnesium plays a number of roles in the body including regulating the activity of over 325 enzymes, reducing inflammation, helping muscle and nerve function and helping to prevent artery hardening. Sulfates help improve the absorption of nutrients, flush toxins and help ease migraine headaches.
What are the health benefits?

Relieves pain and muscle cramps
Helps muscles and nerves function properly
Helps prevent hardening of arteries and blood clots

Bioenergy is a scientific name which tries to include a very extensive interdisciplinary area of research into the energy of living organisms. Bios is an ancient Greek word meaning life and energy meaning activity, but here energy means potential and possibility.
Science confirmed that all human bodies and other living organisms are energy and are surrounded by energy. BHT relies on this single basic principle: everything around us is energy which can be harnessed and used for curative purposes. The rest is all down to Zeljko’s intrinsic ability to tap into THAT energy field and channel it into patients in a healing manner.
Bioenergy Healing has been used for thousands of years throughout the world. Unfortunately, the relatively recent (19th century) rise of modern “conventional” medicine made people forget that when energy channels are unbalanced, out of synchronicity or blocked, minor and serious symptoms first appear sporadically, then regularly before becoming permanent fixtures in their lives. At best, BHT can reverse diseases, restore patients’ health and strengthen their immune system. At worst, it can slow and even stop the progression of disease.
BHT is scientifically validated and practiced worldwide, including in Russian and Israeli hospitals. It has proved to be powerful when treating common “modern day illnesses” which plague people’s daily lives such as diabetes, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, migraines, allergies, asthma, infertility to name a few amongst many. Of singular note, Zeljko’s speciality is all about dealing with extreme cases with excellent results when treating people suffering from Multiple Sclerosis and Cancer who were told by doctors that they were incurable.
Modern medicine dictates that you should go from one specialist to another and be treated as body parts. BHT is the total opposite and does not treat you as body parts but as a whole interconnected system because every single part of your body is connected to all other parts of your body. Simply put, balanced and evenly distributed body energy means good health whilst unbalanced and unevenly distributed energy means disease.
Zeljko measures the electromagnetic field surrounding your body (also known as “Aura”) with a Kirlian Camera. In less than 15 minutes, he can translate your electromagnetic measurements and take you through the following:
1) screen captures of your “Aura”
2) diagrams detailing your systemic health with an approach to anatomic study organized by organ systems with an overview of your whole body
3) your Chakra Balance diagram.
This 15 minutes comprehensive diagnosis and BHT will save you incommensurable amounts of time, energy, emotional stress and money spent on specialists who are trained to treat symptoms but not the root cause.
Invest in REAL HEALING today and rediscover your body as it was designed to be!

With the advent of the industrial revolution, the levels of toxicants in our water, air and soil have risen dramatically such that even newborn infants are born with toxic elements and chemical pollutants in their bodies. There are tens of thousands of chemicals in use today and more than a forth of these are known to be toxic and nothing is known about their interactive effects. The Center for Disease Control reports that up to 85% of all illness are caused by toxins and pollutants in our bodies.
Metals, such as mercury and cadmium are everywhere and impossible to avoid. Lead can block red blood cell formation. Metals and chemical toxins weaken the immune system and cause increased vulnerability to virus, bacterial fungal and parasitic infections. In an attempt to detoxify these substances, our bowels, kidneys and liver are being overloaded.
Our feet have over 7200 nerve endings and 2000 sweat glands. In addition to having arteries and veins cross paths in the feet, these factors make the feet a natural gateway for disposal of waste products. Detox Foot Bath is effectively re-balancing the cells’ equilibrium of positive and negative ions, which aids in the dispersal of unwanted toxins. The human body functions best when the ions are balanced at 80% negative and 20% positive. An ionic detox, helps to facilitate the alkalization process through the process of ionization, which removes “free radicals” from the body.
What we put into our body, such as the foods we consume, have either acidic or alkalizing properties. The more of the higher alkaline foods you can incorporate into your diet the better.
Pacific College Alumna and Oncology have done a urine pH test before the ion foot detox for more than 7,000 people and then another pH test after the detox to compare the results. Post detox pH levels of all the participants were right in the middle of the spectrum, as it should be, and noticeably more alkaline than before the detox.
The Ion Foot Bath detoxification accelerates change in the body. Aging and disease states are characterized by a diminishing anabolic capacity and an increasing catabolic capacity. Toxic buildup of cellular waste and debris is the inevitable outcome of these trends. Reversing them through whole body detoxification requires nutritional support, particularly digestive enzymes, reduction of stress hormones, trace minerals and fatty acids, which are involved in the movement and transport of raw materials in the body.
While the client’s feet are in the water, positive and negative ions are emitted by the foot bath system.
It eliminates toxins that are stored in fat, kidneys, liver, bowels, and skin. The foot bath also triggers the body’s lymphatic system, which helps with continuing detoxification for up to 24 to 48 hours after a session.
Many different colors and objects will appear in the water during Ion foot detox bath sessions. As best as we have been able to determine based on correlations performed with an Ion foot detox bath.

It is suggested that you begin with a total of 6 sessions over a 5 week period to maximize detoxification. As a general rule, the maximum bathing frequency for persons under fifty years of age is once every other day for fourteen sessions with a three-week break before beginning the next sequence. The maximum bathing frequency for persons over fifty is once every third day with a two-week break after fourteen sessions.
Client’s who feel chronically tired after a bath or reports feeling angry, panicky, etc. the baths are spaced further apart. Fatigue indicates an overstressed condition, and emotional upheaval indicates that emotional toxins are being released along with chemical ones.
This is an excellent pose for the morning, since it promotes alertness and a flexible spine – the spine can become somewhat compressed during sleep, which can cause tightness or stiffness in the back.
Begin in Salamba Sarvangasana (Supported Shoulderstand). Hesitate and breathe deeply for a few seconds. Then, bend from your hip joints, slowly lowering your toes to the floor above your head. If you cannot touch the floor with your toes, practice this pose near a wall so that your feet will reach the wall when you bring your legs over head.
Try and keep your legs fully extended, toes perpendicular to the floor. Your feet should stay together throughout Halasana. Interlace your fingers behind your back and straighten your arms away from your legs, rolling the shoulders into place one at a time.
Press the arms actively down into the floor as you draw your tailbone and the tops of your thighs towards the sky. Your hips should be aligned over your shoulders. Continue to draw your chin away from your chest, softening the throat. Breathe steady and deep.
Hold posture for 30 seconds to 5 minutes, depending on your skill. To release, lift your legs back into Salamba Sarvangasana and roll your body out of the pose as you exhale – one vertebra at a time, keeping your legs straight and feet together.
Benefits of Plow Pose:
– Stretches all muscles and ligament in your calves and thighs, resulting in greater leg flexibility
– Therapeutic for leg cramps
– Stimulates your thyroid, parathyroid, throat, lungs and abdominal organs
– Helps relieve gas and upper/lower back pain or discomfort
– Promotes good digestion

As you perform Bridge Pose, you will become more alert in both body and mind. This rejuvenating backbend will open your chest up and keep your spine flexible. While beginners can practice it safely, skilled practitioners can still experience its many benefits. Setu Bandhasana will also help to prepare you for more intense backbends.
This posture is relatively simple and quite exhilarating. If you find it difficult to hold the lift in your pelvis, slide a block or bolster beneath your sacrum and rest the pelvis on it for support. In contrast, if you are looking to deepen the stretch, lift your heels off the floor once in Bridge Pose and push your tailbone up towards the pubis. Once the tailbone is lifted, stretch the heels back to the floor.
1. Lie flat on your back with arms at your sides, palms down. Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the floor. Keep your feet hip width apart, parallel to each other, and as close to the buttocks as possible. Simultaneously, press your upper arms and feet into the floor and begin lifting your hips towards the ceiling. Try to distribute your weight equally on the inside and outside of your feet.
2. Now, move your breastbone towards your chin, keeping your chin lifted only slightly as not to flatten the back of the neck. Firm your tailbone in towards the pubis and move your pubis slightly towards the belly. In order to keep the lower back extended, keep the knees over the ankles, perpendicular to the floor. Your buttocks should be firm, but not clasped.
3. Lift your hips as high as you are able without breaking position. If you are having trouble holding posture, you can clasp your hands behind your back and firm you arms into the floor, shoulder blades shifted down along the spine. Hold this pose for 5 to 15 breaths.
To come out of Bridge Pose, release on an exhalation, rolling your spine slowly down onto the floor.
