The phyto5 philosophy and motto
Beauty is Health Made Visible
This includes physical, mental, and emotional health.
It all starts with energy and balance. Energy may not be visible, but it is a part of everything in life. From balance comes harmony, and from harmony comes rejuvenation, and beauty.
Therefore the PHYTO 5 skincare mission-which is unique in the industry is to contribute to vital energy balance as a by-product of all treatments. This is why we refer to our method as " energetic skincare ". It is based on the principles of energy medicines of Traditional Chinese Medicine and their incredible efficacy.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is well accepted in Europe and continues to gain strength in North America. For example, acupuncture and tai chi are broadly recognized and practiced because they offer remarkable practical results. In addition, the basic theories of TCM are now scientifically proven.
All PHYTO 5 products are made in Switzerland in the small town of Fleurier in the heart of the Jura Mountains, protected from pollution.
Natural, high quality, and unique plant-based ingredients are rigorously and carefully selected.
Laboratoire Gibro, S.A. of Switzerland, the exclusive manufacturer of PHYTO 5 products, is certified by ECOCERT and COSMEBIO - an independent European certification organization - as a natural and organic producer of skincare products, as well as an ecologically responsible manufacturer.
PHYTO5 products and treatments are based on the five elements of TCM: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. They are designed to restore and maintain the body's holistic natural balance. PHYTO5 includes five element lines in harmony with the energy of each season and which correspond to each group of skin conditions.
The 5 aspects of vital energy:
to balance your skin condition and emotions
Wood
Spring
The Wood element is associated with the spring season, and time of renewal, regeneration,and rebirth.
When an imbalance occurs,we typically tend to feel angry, irritable, and impatient.
With a wood imbalance, our liver and gallbladder lack the energy necessary to carry out their primary functions, resulting in lack of vital energy stimulation and causing our skin to suffer and produce excessive oil, blackheads and hyperpigmentation.
Fire
Summer
The Fire element is associated with summer, passion, love, and joy. Internal imbalance of fire manifest on the skin as redness, blotchiness, poor blood circulation, and rosacea.
On an emotional level, we may feel restless, disappointed, and frustrated. On a physical level, we may experience, hot-flashes, insomnia, poor blood circulation, and hormonal imbalance.
Earth
In between season
The earth element is central to all other elements and is about giving and receiving nourishment. When the Earth element is out of balance, we typically feel very anxious, nervous, and worrisome.
An unbalanced earth element will express itself on the skin as blemishes, toxicity, acne, psoriasis, and lymphatic circulation issue.
Physically, we tend to have digestive issues, water retention, and irregular bowel patterns.
Metal
Autumn
The Metal element is associated with the Autumn season and letting go of things we no longer need. Symptoms of this imbalance within the body include abdominal pain, sinus congestion, allergies and upper respiratory infections. Since our skin reflects what is going on inside of our body, this imbalance will represent itself as dray, dull, and lifeless skin that is lacking oxygen and hydration.
Water
Winter
Water is the element associated with winter and connected to internal body hydration. When it is out of balance, fear will be the dominant emotion and our skin will begin to show issue reflected in lack of tone in the skin, wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness under the eyes.
Physically we may have low energy.
Face and Body Analysis
Analyzing the face and body using reflexology based on the principles of energy medicines allowed us to focus on the causes and location of the energetic imbalances manifesting as skin conditions and body shapes. Using the tools effectively and efficiently achieves visible results and a state of elevated well-being.
Vital energy balancing treatments are the key to essential health and well-being. Combining PHYTO5 treatments with a home regiment can help us achieve balance leaving us looking and feeling wonderful.
Seasonal Treatments
The energetic changes of the environment (seasons) affect how we feel and look. Staying in balance with the proper skin regimen for face and body is just as important as seasonal foods for nutritional balance and proper clothing for protection.
