The Oriental concept of health and beauty originates from Ancient China and has been refined through the ages. Health and long life have always been cherished the most in the East; beauty has always been associated with health.
Beauty was considered to be the ultimate reflection of a perfect balance between physical, psychic and mental health.
Beauty develops when these three factors are in perfect harmony. Health is the source of beauty.
‘Phytobiodermics’ is a collection of skin-care products for face, head and body. The starting idea is the energetical principle of Chinese medicine, where the body is considered to be both matter and energy. The 'Yin' and 'Yang' theory and the '5 Elements' theory ( Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water ) form the basic principles of the Phytobiodermic method.
Based upon this method, Hotel manoir Ogygia opens its new and specialised beauty institute 'Phyto5'.
