The techniques apply anatomy, physiology, herbology and naprapathy, (study of the ligaments, joints and muscles), with ancient Maya healing techniques to address common female and male complaints. The technique works by relieving congestion and blockages to improve the flow of chi and fluids of the circulatory, lymphatic and nervous systems to prevent the progression of chronic disease symptomology.
