In summer,
“My head feels foggy”
“My body feels heavy and sluggish”
“I can’t stay focused”
Have you ever felt out of sorts like this?
Just walking in strong sunlight or riding a packed train exposes our bodies to a great deal of heat.
On top of that, as we move back and forth between the outdoor heat and air-conditioned rooms, the autonomic nervous system keeps working nonstop to maintain a steady body temperature.
Summer Puts a Strain on the Autonomic Nervous System
To keep body temperature at around 37°C, the autonomic nervous system releases heat by making us sweat and adjusting blood flow.
However, in high outdoor temperatures, heat tends to build up inside the body, and with the large temperature difference between outdoors and air-conditioned rooms, the autonomic nervous system has to switch back and forth again and again.
As a result, it can lead to discomforts such as
• Heavy, sluggish body
• Foggy head
• Difficulty staying focused
• Fatigue that is hard to shake off
and more.
Cooling the Head Also Helps You Feel More Comfortable
Research in sports science and on hot environments has reported that cooling the head reduces discomfort from heat and improves comfort.
In particular, during exercise or in high temperatures, head cooling is used as one way to lower perceived temperature and ease heat stress.
La HEAD’s “COOL RESET COURSE”
So that you can spend the hot season more comfortably, La HEAD has prepared a summer-only “COOL RESET COURSE.”
First, we apply a citrus-scented carbonated scalp spray and carefully massage your head as you enjoy a refreshing, cooling sensation.
The pleasant tingle unique to carbonation and the fresh scent comfortably refresh a scalp flushed from the heat.
Next, we carefully massage your neck, shoulders and arms using a cooling magnesium gel blended with 40 kinds of herbs.
Then, while pleasantly cooling the area around your neck, we slowly loosen up the neck and shoulders, which tend to tense up in the heat.
At La HEAD, drawing on many years of treatment experience and knowledge of the body gained at an osteopathic clinic (seikotsuin), we treat the head, neck, shoulders, back of the head and arms as one, offering a refreshing feeling unique to summer along with deep relaxation.
Comfortable Right to the End, Even After Your Treatment
After your treatment, you are welcome to use our refresh room.
We provide shampoo and treatment (conditioner), so you can rinse off the carbonated scalp spray and cooling gel and leave feeling fresh and clean.
We also have a hair dryer, hair iron, styling products and more, so you can visit with peace of mind even before other plans.
Because It Is Summer, Take Time to Reset Yourself
Summer is a season when simply enduring the heat uses up a lot of energy.
That is why it is important to make time to relax both mind and body, cooling down not only your body but also your heat-flushed head.
This summer, why not experience a cool, refreshing sensation and deep relaxation with La HEAD’s “COOL RESET COURSE”?
