MRL Skin & Supplement
-
You will notice with Marie Reynolds London line that there are not a selection of different cleansers, toners or moisturisers that are designed for specific skin types or skin conditions. This is because Marie belies that although we have external influences from our environment and topical products that influence our skin, fundamentally it is the internal influences that create imbalances shown on the surface of the skin. Marie says ‘ the skin is like a barometer showing clues of internal imbalances’ . She believes that the skin is ever changing and it is important to support the lipid barrier- this is a combination of oil and moisture that protects the skin from invading bacterias and moisture loss, and to feed the microbiome. The surface of the skin has its own living community of flora and fauna that is changing all the time and is so important for overall skin health. The following routine it recommended for the use of the MRL Range, for further information on each product, simply click on the link and it will take you to the description. Morning Routine: Goji Mallow CleansewithMitt– Apply Goji Mallow Cleanse to dry skin, and work well into the skin. Moisten hands and massage for a further 1-2 minutes.Elixir– Apply 2-3 drops onto a cleansed skin and work into the neckHydr8 Misting Veil– Spritz over the skin and press in lightly. This can also be used throughout the day to hydrate, the perfect companion on flights to quench a parched skin.Reson8 mixed with Skin Quencher – Reson8 can be used aloe, just 1-2 pumps to seal in the previous steps but for that added Quench of hydration mix with Skin Quencher – Use theCopper Wandto stimulate lymph and blood flow, rejuvenating and soothing the skinEvy Technology SPF Face mousse Evening Routine: Goji Mallow CleansewithMitt– Apply Goji Mallow Cleanse to dry skin, and work well into the skin, use the ring finger in circular movements over lashes and eyes to gently remove any eye make up. Moisten hands and massage for a further 1-2 minutes. Remove product with the MRL Cleansing Mitt – for an added extra you can add a sprinkling ofRepair+into Goji Mallow and apply like a mask for 3-5 minutes before removing with mittElixir– Apply 2-3 drops onto a cleansed skin and work into the neckHydr8 Misting Veil– Spritz over the skin and press in lightly.

I personally do not believe in types or conditions as skin is ever changing. It is an organ of many functions and also very responsive to mental, emotional, dietary, genetic and environmental experiences. Hence why I only have one cleanser, one spritz etc. The skin is a barometer of what is going on internally, treat within and the skin reflects!
-
- Repair+ – can be mixed with Anoint to form an oily mixture for areas of inflammation. Mix a heaped teaspoon of Repair+ with 3 teaspoons of Anoint and apply to the area for 10 minutes. Remove with MRL Mitt or a warm flannel.
- Super charging the Goji Mallow Cleanser is also a great way to do a flash mask: Cleanse the skin as normal with Goji Mallow , remove with MRL Mitt you can add either Calmeric – Tumeric is excellent for acne skins but also very calming and soothing – just a quarter capful in sprinkled in the hands with Goji Mallow and work into the skin. Remove with MRL Mitt. You can also use Evolve to boost the anti oxidants or to mop up impurities on the skin. Repair+ is another that can be added into Goji Mallow to reinforce hydration and repair.

- Ocean EFA can be split open and added to Anoint for that extra boost of EFA, especially when using for scars or stretch marks

You can certainly use the skincare. We recommend to avoid supplements while pregnant and breastfeeding. Although I believe they will be perfectly safe to use there has not been any studies on pregnant or lactating women with any supplement use so I always err on the side of caution and wait until lactation (breastfeeding) is over and baby is fully weened off the breast.

There may be an overgrowth of bad bacteria, when supplements like Promax+ or Eradic8 are introduced the bad bacteria can protest so a few days of adjustment is needed, keep on with the program, or reduce dose for a few days then increase to directed dose.
-
Sometimes the skin can ‘purge’ this is a good sign, even though it may be uncomfortable for you, it will be for the short term. The skin is the largest organ of the body and one of the eliminating organs, when the liver is detoxinating it will throw out in the skin. Keep taking the supplements as directed for your health plan, drink plenty of water to flush the kidneys and help elimination.

Probiotic supplements are useful when the balance of good and bad bacteria in the bowel has been disrupted. Such an imbalance almost always occurs:
- after use of antibiotics
- following illness
- during and after periods of heightened stressas
- we get older (and our digestive enzymes decrease in number)
- following travel to a foreign countryfor people who experience regular tummy upsets
- for people who regularly have an urgent need to use the toilet
- for people who have poor digestion.An imbalance of bowel flora can lead to a number of unpleasant symptoms, such as a bloated stomach, abdominal pains, irregular bowel movements and a feeling of heaviness after eating. Probiotics are recommended for people who wish to ensure or maintain a favourable amount of the friendly bacteria in their digestive tract.
Energy Therapy
-
By restoring and harmonising the natural bioresonance frequencies, it allows the body to heal naturally without any adverse effects. It is a safe and non-invasive therapy which when combined with proper nutrition, lifestyle changes, and healthy lifestyle. It may also bring a pronounced and long lasting relief to patients suffering from long-term effects of stress.
-
There are a variety of options for Energy Therapy, either from the Scans and Metatherapy listed below or Distance Therapy. It is very difficult to process how distance therapy works if you are not physically in the clinic. Please read this blog post to give you an insight in how it is achieved.
-
Each organ, tissue and cell in our body has a distinct frequency created by the rotation of atoms in our cells. The Biofeedback Scan ‘listens in’ and picks up energetic information. It observes the characteristics of wavelengths and energetic changes in the tissues and cells of the body, and the information collected can be isolated and decoded by the Biofeedback, enabling information for appropriate energetic therapies.
-
Frequencies not only occur from the physiological matter of the human body but also external stressors that impact the cellular communication that may include toxins from pollution and electrosmog, chemicals ingested or absorbed from topical products, food, allergens, moulds, stress, bacterias and fungi.
-
Resonance is a natural phenomenon whereby all living organisms and their components emit measurable electromagnetic waves, the frequency of which is dependent on their physiological state. The body cells, organs, and tissues that are subject to changes from external energy sources, positive and negative can influence their energetic state, in the imbalanced state the resonance is lower than what it should be in the normal state. These changes are measured using highly calibrated devices and Biofeedback devices. The Biofeedback provides a digital scan of the energetic information and the energetic co-factors of cells, tissues and organs in an energetically healthy or imbalanced state.
Colonic Hydrotherapy
-
Colon hydrotherapy involves gentle, continual bathing of the colon by infusing warm filtered water into the rectum, designed to help remove toxins and a build-up of stools from the colon and lower digestive tract. This process enables the water to cleanse the large intestine, resulting in a gentle release to remove waste, rehydrate the bowel and stimulate peristalsis – e.g the movement of stools through the lower bowel. During the treatment, purified and filtered, temperature-controlled water is fed into the colon at a controlled rate.
-
• Hydrating the colon
• Reducing the toxic overload
• Increasing vitality and performance
• Reducing sluggishness and bloating
• Detoxification, achieving a clearer complexion
• Kick starting a weight management programme
• Allergies and intolerances
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Constipation and flatulence
• Diarrhoea
• Skin problems
• Headaches -
Although this process is sometimes uncomfortable, it’s not painful. The most important thing is to relax and communicate at all times with your therapist to ensure you have a comfortable session.
-
All speculums are sterile and disposed after each use. This prevents any cross contamination and adheres to hygiene regulations..
-
This is patient dependant – you can have two in the first week and one the following then regular Colonics every two months after that. However you may only need two a year.
-
If you are dehydrated then you may not have a released, especially if you have also emptied the bowel that day two or more times. Our visceral organs can uptake the water infused via the bowel and hydrates them. You may find you will urinate more. It may also be a sign of you 'holding on' emotionally. Remember the key for a colonic hydrotherapy is to clean the bowel and hydrate. if your bowel is empty then you will not have a release. It is also very common to not see anything release during the colonic hydrotherapy, but once the therapy is finished you may have a release in the bathroom.
-
During a Colonic Hydrotherapy or an Ozone Insufflation, good bacteria is removed along with bad bacteria. Although you are given a course of probiotics after any colon therapy, a probiotic implant is administered directly into the bowel via a cannula to repopulate the gut with good bacteria.
Ozone Therapy
-
Ozone is an allopathic (medical) super charged form of oxygen – it is O3 instead of O2. It is the most powerful oxidiser known to man, as it powerfully neutralises free radicals and it is a naturally forming gas that surrounds us. The Earth is blanketed by Ozone to prevent harmful UV rays penetrating the Earth hence its demise has given higher risks of cancers in warmer climates like Australia. Ozone generators are used to produce ozone gas from pure medical grade oxygen. The medical ozone generator then provides a precise concentration of ozone gas which is introduced in stages and is used in different ways.
-
The most common methods of ozone applications are rectal insufflation, vaginal insufflation, ear insufflation, minor auto-haemotherapy (blood via IV), and major auto-haemotherapy (blood via IV) but there are also other methods via injection into painful joints, bagging, cupping and dental insufflation.
-
Ozone Therapy is used to provide beneficial health benefits to the body along with implementing it as a preconditioning therapy - a preventative measure for overall wellbeing. Ozone therapy, especially rectal insufflation treatments, is highly beneficial. Ozone gas is applied to the gut and converted into oxygen, it eliminates free radicals and is enormously effective against pathogenic microbes, promoting a healthy microbiota that thrives in an oxygen-rich environment. Ozone O3 delivers super enriched oxygen at a cellular level and may help to optimise cell function thus increasing energy levels. It may boost and balance immunity; it may improve blood circulation, harmonise hormones, enhance nervous system and an effective healthy ageing therapy. Intended benefits: Delivers super enriched oxygen at a cellular level and optimises cell function Increases energy levels Detoxes the body Boosts and balances immunity Improves blood circulation Harmonises hormones Enhances nervous system There are many scientific studies with the use of Ozone Therapies (OT) to human health especially with long Covid and post Covid. One such study is here and an interesting discussion on clinical studies with Covid patients using Ozone between American Dr Hyman and Italian Dr Paolo Tordiglione watch here
-
Vaginal Insufflation is a method where ozone is administered through a vaginal cannula inserted into the vagina of the patient. Treatment time is usually 5 – 15 minutes. This therapy is especially useful for vaginal and vulvar problems such as persistent yeast infections, herpes infections, vulvodynia. Many women have reported relief from yeast infections and various sexually transmitted diseases including herpes.
-
Limb Bagging is a technique used with ozone that isolate an injured or inflamed body part by surrounding it with a medical grade plastic bag (such as a hand, arm, leg, foot but NEVER head), and introducing ozone. This can include indications such as: Diabetic foot ulcers Bed sores Burns Wounds that are infected or slow healing Skin lesions/diseases
-
Rectal Insufflation is a perfect way to eliminate toxins from the body. If the body is in a state of dis-ease or dis-harmony then there is more chance of illness to occur. Ozone insufflation is also the perfect preventative to illness and maintenance to wellbeing. Rectal insufflation has been shown to be a valuable addition to clinical practice by treating the root of the problem, it is a safe and effective treatment that offers many health benefits. Including: Decreasing toxins that may exist in the intestine. May strengthen the immune system and the response to pathogens May eliminate bacteria, parasites, viruses and yeasts. May restores intestinal functions to an optimal state. Reduces chronic inflammation throughout the body.Including skin conditions like acne, eczema and psoriasis For intestinal/rectal insufflations, the colon needs to be cleaned by means of a colonic or an enema to prevent eliminated toxins from being reabsorbed. It is also the perfect way to hydrate the gut and visceral organs as Ozone is best received when the body is hydrated. An exceptionally fine cannula is inserted into the rectum through which the oxygen/ozone mixture is very gradually insufflated.The gas is absorbed through the intestinal walls into the bloodstream therefore oxygenating the blood. The Ozone Therapy usually takes around twenty minutes and post therapy bad bacteria, candida and yeast in the large intestine, may form gas and cause temporary bloatedness this is because oxygen has been introduced. Probiotics are given after the insufflation to re-cultivate good gut flora. When taking rectal insufflation it is recommended to take probiotics to support the gut flora.

Hyperbarric Oxygen Therapy
-
HBOT is the abbreviation for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. It is a simple procedure that consists of entering a HBOT chamber and experiencing an increase in pressure to 1.4 ATA. The increase in oxygen provided by HBOT is enough to help the body’s innate ability to heal and regenerate faster than allowing the process to happen naturally. HBOT can also help with a wide range of medical conditions, easing or lessening symptoms for patients and sufferers worldwide. However for these conditions you must always seek the medical advice from your Doctor
-
Every day an average adult consumes 2kg of food, 1 litre of water and almost 550 litres of oxygen. 90% of our daily energy comes from oxygen and the rest food and water. The human brain uses 25% of the oxygen we breathe alone. Oxygen is what contracts our muscles, repairs our cells, feeds our brains and even calms our nerves, it is also our chief cleansing tool. Every day our body burns off some seven hundred billion old cells. These old cells are toxic and must be removed from our system, if there is low oxygen in the body it struggles to do so and can lead to disease, infection and tissue destruction..
-
When the chamber is pressurised, you may feel pressure changes in your ears, much like when you are on a plane or at a high elevation. You can relieve that feeling by yawning or swallowing. Other than ear pressure you should no experience any other unusual sensations.
-
The pressure forces oxygen into the plasma fluid and lymph allowing the oxygen to seep easily through any restricted areas caused by swelling, inflammation or injury. Under normal circumstances the red blood cells would block the blood vessel and the area would be starved of oxygen thus causing cell and tissue deterioration.
-
This is one of those questions which has so many variables and answers depending on your lifestyle and what you are hoping to achieve. No two people are the same so invariably their results may differ. However from experience we know that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy makes many people feel invigorated and improves their general wellbeing, and it can greatly compliment other therapies and treatment regimes
-
Again there are many variables and we would suggest all the time you are seeing improvements it is wise to continue your therapy. As a guide, the ‘gold standard’ is 40 hours of therapy. It is however better for you to judge based on your own results and improvement.
-
Oxygen Toxicity is not a problem at pressures below 1.5 ATA. However if you are sensitive to oxygen then the pressures can be adjusted to suit your own personal needs..
-
You are required to wear cotton clothing, either cotton shorts and T-Shirt or cotton leggings and joggers. No synthetic items of clothing.

Research has shown the HBOT may amplify recovery from intensive training and increases cellular energy (ATP), decrease lactic acid, reduces inflammation & pain, stimulate stem cell and collagen production for tissue regeneration and decreases susceptibility towards re-injuring.
