Anti Cellulite Retreat at Fonteverde

Fonteverde, located in the enchanting setting of Val d’Orcia uses nature as the fundamental healing practice. The grounds, the greenery, the tranquillity and the regenerating power of the spa waters and natural muds all contribute to the wellness experience. Cellulite is not only about unsightly skin: the condition adversely affects the subcutaneous fatty tissue. It is caused by hidden inflammation in the tissues, leading to cell affliction and distortion to the circulation. Cellulite is a vicious circle: constricted blood flow to the tissues reduces oxygenation and causes toxins to build up, worsening the inflammation. Improving the condition involves following a balanced diet, becoming less sedentary, reducing stress levels and seeking out specific treatments. As well as fighting the symptoms of cellulite such as swelling and orange-peel skin, the Anti- Cellulite program is designed primarily to treat the underlying cause: silent tissue inflammation. It is begun by analysing body water distribution and then creating a nutrition plan based on the de-acidifying, anti-inflammatory microbiota diet. This is accompanied by a series of customised lymph-draining treatments to improve tissue oxygenation, alongside targeted physical exercise. The effects are boosted by the oxygenating, anti-inflammatory powers of thermal water.
