Swedish Massage

What is Swedish massage? | back to top

Swedish massage is a genre that includes the intentional and systematic manipulation of the soft tissues of the body to enhance health and healing. Joint movements and stretching are commonly performed as part of the massage. The primary characteristics are touch and movement. The massage session can last from 30 minutes to 1 ½ hours. These sessions are generally wellness oriented and aim to improve circulation, relax the muscles, improve joint mobility, induce general relaxation, promote healthy skin and create a general sense of well-being.

How does Swedish massage work? | back to top

Swedish massage techniques include: long strokes, kneading, friction, tapping, percussion, vibration, effleurage, and shaking motions. The usual sequence of techniques is:

Effleurage: Gliding strokes with the palms, thumbs and/or fingertips
Petrissage: Kneading movements with the hands, thumbs and/or fingers
Friction: Circular pressures with the palms of hands, thumbs and/or fingers
Vibration: Oscillatory movements that shake or vibrate the body
Percussion: Brisk hacking or tapping
Passive and active movements: Bending and stretching

The main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles.

What are the benefits of Swedish massage? | back to top

Touch in the form of massage can make a huge difference. There are many explanations for this:

improved circulation – more oxygenated blood plus removal of toxins.
reduction in pain – massage stimulates the brain to release natural painkillers
anxiety reduction – it has been shown that relaxation and anxiety cannot co-exist. This helps the person realise that they can cope.
relaxation effects – as the body lets go of accumulated tension it is able to work better as there are fewer demands being placed on it.
healing – touch is healing and certainly the improved circulation already described improves healing time and is why sports people seek massage therapy.
energy – we tend to have more energy after a massage. Tension tends to 'trap' energy; massage tends to encourage energy to flow. The Massage Therapist will hopefully create all these effects which are made even more special by the caring and love given, as well as his / her intent.

How will I feel? | back to top

After a session of massage therapy you may feel relaxed, refreshed and feel greater self-esteem.

How does Istvan work? | back to top

During my extensive experience working on luxury cruise ships I have developed a unique technique that combines 7 different styles of Eastern and Western massage techniques that has proven very effective for many clients all over the world. My personal touch is something that is beyond technique, I am thankful to my spiritual guides who are helping me touch you in a healing and loving way. A Swedish massage session will start with broad, flowing strokes which will help to calm your nervous system and relax exterior muscle tension. As your body becomes relaxed, I will gradually increase the pressure to relax specific areas and relieve areas of muscular tension. You should communicate immediately if you feel any discomfort so I can take another approach. Massages are most effective when your body is not resisting.

Common questions about a massage therapy session

Must I be completely undressed? | back to top

Most massage techniques are traditionally performed with the client unclothed; however, you may decide what amount of clothing you prefer for your own comfort. You will be properly draped during the entire session.

Will the practitioner be present when I disrobe? | back to top

The practitioner will leave the room while you undress, relax onto the table, and cover yourself with a clean sheet.

Will I be covered during the session? | back to top

You will be properly draped at all times to keep you warm and comfortable. Only the area being worked on will be exposed.

What parts of my body will be massaged? | back to top

You and the practitioner will discuss the desired outcome of your session. This will determine which parts of your body require massage. A typical full body session will include work on your back, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck, and shoulders. You will not be touched on or near your genitals (male or female) or breasts (female).

Will oil or lotion be used? | back to top

A light oil or lotion may be used to permit your muscles to be worked on without causing excessive friction to the skin. The lubricants used will hydrate the skin and be readily absorbed.

Where will my massage session take place? | back to top

Your massage session will take place in a warm, comfortable, quiet room. Soft music may be played to help you relax. You will lie on a table especially designed for your comfort.

Additional tips

Don't eat a heavy meal before the massage.
If it's your first time at the clinic arrive at least 10 minutes early to complete the necessary forms. Otherwise, arrive 5 minutes early so you can have a few minutes to rest and relax before starting the massage.
Please drink plenty of water after any massage this ensures the elimination of toxins.

Deep Tissue massage

What is Deep Tissue massage? | back to top

Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, and sore shoulders. Some of the same strokes are used as classic massage therapy, but the movement is slower and the pressure is deeper and concentrated on areas of tension and pain.

How does Deep Tissue massage work? | back to top

When there is chronic muscle tension or injury, there are usually adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue) in muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

Adhesions can block circulation and cause pain, limited movement, and inflammation.

Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down these adhesions to relieve pain and restore normal movement. To do this, the massage therapist often uses direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles.

What are the benefits of Deep Tissue massage? | back to top

Unlike classic massage therapy, which is used for relaxation, deep tissue massage usually focuses on a specific problem, such as:
- Chronic pain
- Limited mobility
- Recovery from injuries (e.g. whiplash, falls, sports injury)
- Repetitive strain injury, such as carpal tunnel syndrome
- Postural problems
- Ostearthritis pain
- Fibromyalgia
- Muscle tension or spasm
People often notice improved range of motion immediately after a deep tissue massage.

The purpose is to "unstick" the fibers of a muscle while releasing deeply-held patterns of tension, removing toxins, while relaxing and soothing the muscle. It is both corrective and therapeutic.

How will I feel? | back to top

Massage therapists may use fingertips, knuckles, hands, elbows, and forearms during the deep tissue massage.

You may be asked to breathe deeply as the massage therapist works on certain tense areas. It is important to drink plenty of water as you can after the massage to flush metabolic waste from the tissues.

How fast will I get results with a deep tissue massage? | back to top

It's important to be realistic about what one massage can achieve. Many people ask for more pressure, thinking that if the therapist just pushes hard enough, they can get rid of all their knots in an hour. This just won't happen. In fact, undoing chronic knots and tension built up over a lifetime is best achieved with an integrated program that includes exercise, work on your posture and ways of moving, relaxation techniques and a regular program of massage. Finally, while Deep Tissue massage is certainly valuable, you should be aware that gentle styles of massage like Swedish massage can also produce profound release and realignment in the body.

Will deep tissue massage hurt? | back to top

At certain points during the massage, most people find there is usually some discomfort and pain. It is important to tell the massage therapist when things hurt and if any soreness or pain you experience is outside your comfort range. There is usually some stiffness or pain after a deep tissue massage, but it should subside within a day or so. The massage therapist may recommend applying ice to the area after the massage.

Hot Stones Massage

Imagine yourself cast adrift on a sea of luxurious warmth. All the cares and stresses of the day are floating away.

What is Hot Stones massage? | back to top

Hot Stones massage is a unique connection we experience with nature, offering a sense of profoundness and sacredness that we too often forget. It's a deep healing and unique moment that enhances our awareness and brings us closer to our true essence. It is the perfect treatment that is as enjoyable and healing for the client as it is for me (Istvan).

Hot stone massage is a variation on classic massage therapy. Heated smooth, flat stones are placed on key points on the body. I'll also hold the stones and use them to massage certain areas of the body.

How does Hot Stones massage work? | back to top

Hot Stones massage involves the application of water-heated basalt stones of varying sizes to key points on the body, giving a deep massage and creating sensations of comfort and warmth. The direct heat relaxes muscles, allowing manipulation of a greater intensity than with regular massage.

What are the benefits of Hot Stones massage? | back to top

Many people find the warmth of the hot stones to be comforting. Hot stones massage is suited to people who tend to feel chilly or who have cold feet. It's also suited for people who have muscle tension but prefer a lighter massage. The heat relaxes muscles, allowing the therapist to work the muscles without using deep pressure. Those experiencing a Hot Stones massage will notice a healing improvement of the following symptoms:

Poor circulation
Stress, anxiety and tension
Insomnia
Depression
Muscular aches, pains, sprains, and strains
Rheumatic and arthritic conditions
Fibromyalgia
MS

Hot Stones massage ensures that every cell in the body receives more oxygen and nutrients while at the same time waste material is removed more effectively through the corresponding increase in lymph flow. It is like changing the old oil and filter in your car for a newer filter with clean oil—a service for the body.

How will I feel? | back to top

Hot Stones massage makes you feel deeply relaxed, allowing you to let go of all the stress that is held within your body. It is really an amazing experience to have by anyone! The stones are never rough. They are always flat and smooth. The stones I use on the back are about the size of a large egg, only flat. I will always hold the stones first before touching them to your body, which ensures that the temperature will not be too hot. However, everyone has their own comfort range. Be sure to speak up if the stones are too hot for you.

Bio-energy Therapy

What is Bio-energy Therapy? | back to top

Energy function and action within the body is carried out by means of energy without which we could not walk, see, think or digest... In fact we would not even be alive. The treatment is carried out by passing the hands over the patient. I (Margaret) can immediately detect when a part of the body is unbalanced or unhealthy by the feeling of heat or pain in my hands. During treatment I act as a channel allowing positive energy to flow through my hand and extracting negative energy from the patient through the other hand. Balancing the energy level has a vitalising effect on the body and leads to the restoration of the patient's good health.

To understand it, you really need to understand that everything in the world is made up of energy. This has been proven by quantum physics - when the atom was split it was found to be made up of particles of energy that are constantly vibrating. The speed of vibration of the energy determines how solid any given thing appears. Our bodies are made up of energy that is vibrating quite slowly, because to us they appear quite solid, but a rock is made up of energy that is vibrating much more slowly because it appears extremely solid. A filmy material is made up of energy that is vibrating quite fast, so it appears light and floating.

What holds the energy in place so that it forms the appearance we see? Rupert Sheldrake refers to an area of intelligence around each form which he calls morphogenic (or morphic) fields. In humans, animals, and plants - all living beings, in fact -this is what we refer to as the spirit or soul; the intelligence that is moulding the energy into shape. With man-made articles such as a table or piece of clothing, it is the intention of the person making the article (or who made the machine making the article) that forms the morphogenic field that holds the energy in that particular form.

Around our bodies and permeating them (and around every other thing, including the rock) there is more energy that is vibrating at a much higher rate so that most of us cannot see it, but it can be picked up by Kirlian photography and seen by people with extra-sensorial abilities like Margaret. This is known as the etheric body. Aura photographs will pick up another layer of energy that is vibrating even more rapidly. There are more layers of energy beyond that that are vibrating even faster and stretch out into infinity. As Einstein said: energy is all there is.

All physical disorders start first in our energy system, beginning in the emotional or mental bodies, moving down into the etheric (which is the subtle body closest to and permeating the physical body) and then appearing on the physical level as symptoms of mental, emotional, or physical dis-ease. And this is so with animals as well, not just with humans. Feeling around the energy system can disclose areas that feel thickened or sticky, areas where there seems to be little or no movement in the energy flow, areas where there are bulges or dips in the energy field, areas where there seems to be a difference in temperature (such as heat or coolness), and so on.

How does Bio-energy Therapy work? | back to top

Bio Energy Therapy works to remove blockages, rebalance the energy, and get the energy flowing freely. You don't need to be aware of your energy field and in fact not many people are though healing and well being depends upon its free flow.

That's why I can help. I can see, sense and assess your energy field and work through the seven energy centres - chakras - each one of which is like the fuse box of an electrical supply. I will channel your energy along the meridians and into your cells.

We are all different and we all respond in our own ways to the accumulation of daily events in our lives. These responses impact on our energy functions. Unresolved problems can lead to health and relationship difficulties.

Releasing your natural, healthy energy balance and flow could dramatically change your life!

The Chakra System | back to top

The word "chakra", literally meaning "wheel" or "circle", refers to energy centres that exist both within and out with the physical body. These centres correspond with nerve plexuses in the body. Most texts traditionally discuss the seven major chakras as illustrated in this image. In reality we have thousands of chakras all over our body. The seven centres have governing metaphysical as well as physical functions.

The role of the chakras is to accept, transform and emit energy to different parts of the body. This energy is then circulated around the body effectively animating and nourishing it much as our cardiovascular system nourishes us via our blood. This chakra system makes up part of our wider bio-field commonly referred to as our aura. Homeostasis, the body's natural ability to self regulate, dictates our physiology and is vital to our overall health. Our bio-field is also geared to self regulate. However when blockages appear in our bio-field that we are unable to remove by ourselves, systems of energy medicine, such as Bio-energy Therapy and Reiki, work with the chakra system to help restore energetic self regulation. A free flowing, self regulating energy field helps the mind, body and spirit to self regulate and heal.

What are the benefits of Bio-energy Therapy? | back to top

Bio-energy helps with symptoms of virtually any condition. I have helped people suffering from: breast cancer, liver, kidney and eye problems, allergies, depression, chronic fatigue & pain, fibromyalgia, stress, headaches & migraines, insomnia, nervous disorders, thyroid, neck & shoulder pain, sciatica, joint and back pain, menstrual problems, arthritis, immune disorders, poor circulation, poor digestion and sports injuries.

I have tremendous success in treating these conditions. The symptoms were greatly diminished; pain disappeared after 5-10 sessions, when clients have kept the recommendations.

I can also help you master your own mind and set you on the road to self-awareness and personal growth in a holistic way.

How will I feel? | back to top

The experience is different for everyone, but even if you find that you don't feel anything very definite, the treatment will still work. Some people feel a sensation of warmth or coolness; others find a limb moves or vibrates; some feel incredibly calm and peaceful. There could also be a sense of relief, joy, and freshness due to the oxygen flowing freely towards every cell of the body. There are people who start accepting everything around them the way that it is and do their work with more enthusiasm, find beauty in all things and experience the true meaning of rebirth and spiritual fulfilment. Many people find that they sleep incredibly well that night!

How does Margaret work? | back to top

When working in your energy field you will be fully clothed with your shoes off, lying down, sitting or standing while I work to identify then take away the blockages in your auric field. It is very important to understand that it is not me who is doing this work. I am only a channel of energy. Through me spiritual guides work on your energetic field in the way that they know it to be the best for you and only if it is in your souls' highest interest. Every soul has a plan when they decide to come to this planet, if the disease helps the soul to settle a karmic issue I am not advised to carry on with the treatment. I'll scan you to see your entire past medical conditions then I'll ask you if what I see is correct. I will want to understand you and know your medical history then I will read your energy fields so that I can identify any problems you may have. I'll do some of the work but much of it you will do yourself, at home. I don't treat labels or medical conditions. I work with you and for you, helping you to understand the whole reality that is you.

A usual therapy starts with me asking for guidance from my spiritual guides and divinity to help me in helping you. I'll start by balancing the Yin and Yang energies, unblock the meridians and balance the chakras making them spin as they should. I start working with the soul finding out from the past and present karmas where do the problems that you have now originate, then finding solutions to remove the source reason and the symptoms of your conditions. Meanwhile I'll be talking to you explaining what happens and asking you different questions. When I finish I thank divinity for the help that has been given to me to help you. Then I'll explain what I've done and why. I'll tell you why the condition appeared what organ or organs have been affected by not being supplied by energy properly. Many times these conditions appear because of incorrect thinking patterns or karmic issues. I'll advise you to change your ways of thinking what to do to balance your energies to have a more enjoyable life full of health and joy.

Emotional problems are dealt with in the same manner but with a more in-depth discussion about what is going on in your mind and in your heart.

Contra-indications
Bio energy healers will not treat women during pregnancy or menstruation and will not treat the following conditions: people with heart diseases, pacemakers, thrombosis, strokes, and cancer or drug addiction. Alcohol must be avoided during the treatment.

Reflexology

What is reflexology? | back to top

Reflexology is the application of pressure, stretch and movement to the feet and hands to effect corresponding parts of the body. Reflexologists view the feet and hands as a mirror image of the body. By applying technique a reflexologist can break up patterns of stress in other parts of the body.

How does reflexology work? | back to top

There are many theories but in my approach I look at the nervous system as the explanation of reflexology's working. Pressure applied to the feet generates a signal through the peripheral nervous system. From there it enters the central nervous system where it is processed in various parts of the brain. It is then relayed to the internal organs to allocate the necessary adjustments in fuel and oxygen. Finally a response is fashioned that is sent onto the motor system.

This message is fed forward to adjust the body's tone or overall tension level. If applied properly the tone will reset itself to a lower operating tempo. A lower operating tempo means a lessening of stress and less wear and tear on the body's systems.

What are the benefits of reflexology? | back to top

It helps in three ways. First, reflexology sessions can help to relieve stress and tension. Secondly, stress acts like a tourniquet around the body systems, so by releasing this stress, you can also improve the nerve and blood supply to every organ and gland in the body. Thirdly, I feel it helps the body to maintain homeostasis, or to regulate itself. Almost every health problem has been helped, but there are some conditions that are a bit more complicated. For example, there are a hundred different kinds of arthritis. Some arthritis I've helped tremendously with reflexology and others I could not, because the cause of each case is different. Reflexology is a complement to standard medical care. It is not construed as a medical advice. It is not a replacement to medical help.

How will I feel? | back to top

"It hurts, but it feels good." Those are the magic words I (Margaret) always hear. During a reflexology session, you can feel the feet being worked. And, actually, it can feel fantastic; when you work with the hands in a certain rhythm, it's altogether different than a foot massage.

You should feel relaxation at the end of a session. How long that relaxation lasts is a good indicator of the effectiveness of the session. Please always let me know how you did respond to the session, it is very helpful information.

Please note:
As I (Margaret) feel and know about myself that I am blessed with universal energy flowing freely into me in enormous quantities, this energy will be transferred into you without my control.

This means that at the end of the Reflexology session you will have recharged your energy levels feeling like after a good night sleep, ready to take on the world, with more confidence, optimism and joy.

How does Margaret work? | back to top

A Reflexology sessions in general last from 30 minutes to an hour. It is a clothed session with only the removal of shoes and socks as a requirement. I will use a chair and at times a table. I will use a hydrating cream or oil. I use pressure, stretch and movement to work through the feet methodically. The whole foot is worked in most circumstances. Both feet are covered as well.

I work within your comfort zone. I use just the right pressure for you that you should always communicate it with me.

Spiritually guided Holistic Counselling

Why would you need counseling? | back to top

When people are going through a difficult time or are simply looking for direction in their lives, a spiritually guided counselor as me can provide the encouragement, guidance and reassurance that people need to help them make big decisions or changes or redress their spiritual and emotional balance. A guidance session can give valuable insight into important aspects of people's lives, from family, love and health to money and work.

How does Margaret work? | back to top

Having these abilities means I have my 6th chakra (Ajna) opened, and I use my so called "third eye" to see in other dimensions, into past and future, to scan people for illnesses and diseases, read minds and this way find out what are your thinking patterns, which thoughts are unhealthy and affect your physical body. I will advise you accordingly to get rid of these thoughts and discover a new YOU.

I (Margaret) can give you comfort in case you have a loved one passed away and you want to find out if the soul of that person has found peace and in cases get messages from them.

When you are at crossroads and it feels difficult to decide which way to go you can turn to me for advice. I will consult with my spiritual guide and yours to find the best direction for you to take. In doing so I will as well come in contact with your SOUL to find out your life-contract and base my advice on that.

Extra-sensory abilities/perceptions

What are extra-sensory abilities/perceptions? | back to top

Extra sensory perception (ESP) is the ability to receive information through channels other than the five senses that we know about in modern science (taste, sight, touch, smell and hearing). People who are thought to have these abilities or to be able to produce these phenomena are often called "psychics". This “psychic” name is just that, only a name and not more, should not be confused with tarot readers, or charlatans making money out of someone else's problems. Some of the most common forms are explained below.

I (Margaret) can finely tune the five known senses in order to perceive events in other places, e.g.
clairvoyance - visualising events in the mind's eye;
clairaudience - hearing information that's inaudible to most people's ears;
clairsentience - feelings related to the event;
clairgustance - perception of tastes related to the event; and
clairalience - smelling odours related to the event.

I (Margaret) can also perceive events in other time planes, e.g. retrocognition or postcognition - knowing about events after they have occurred; or precognition/second sight - knowing about future events before they happen.

I (Margaret) can perceive energy forces that others are unable to see, such as aura. Aura is the personal energy field surrounding a person, visible to those with ESPs as a colourful emanation from the individual's body. A person's aura can reveal their personality and state of mind.

A higher level of awareness
Psychics have a very finely tuned sense of intuition, an inner wisdom that they are able to tap into through perception, understanding and sensitivity. We all have a sense of intuition – sometimes we have a 'gut feeling' about something or a dream that seems to be telling us something – so we all have the ability to be psychic if we tune our minds to it. It's a different type of intelligence; perceptive rather than analytical.

Nowadays the world is so focused on rational, scientific fact and little credence is given to the realm of spiritual and intuitive consciousness, which is often dismissed as hocus pocus. However, the world can't be explained simply in black-and-white scientific facts. There's a lot about the mind, consciousness and personal energy that we have lost the ability to perceive. Many children can pick up on things that adults can't – while their minds are still open, before they've been conditioned to dismiss their creativity. It's possible to learn as an adult though – it's a matter of refocusing the mind to reach a level of acute awareness that will help us to understand the universe around us.

Other psychic methods of communication
The main psychic channels of communication are the senses (clairaudience, clairvoyance, clairsentience), the aura (energy field) and pre- and post-cognition. However, there are many more and every psychic has their own innate method of perception. Some other psychic powers include:

Telepathy: telepathy is the ability to communicate directly from one mind to another, without any form of physical communication.

Psychometry: all objects have a past. They’re not purely physical entities but also have an energy field, which is imprinted with memories from their history – e.g. past owners and events that occurred with them or in their presence. Psychics can use an object belonging to an individual, such as a piece of jewellery or a photograph, to find out more about them. It can be useful for psychics to have something tangible to hold in order to focus their mind on the individual.

Astral projection: also known as astral travel, this phenomenon can be described as an out-of-body experience. Some psychics can delve deep enough into their own consciousness to be able to move their soul to another level of being, the astral plane. Astral projection is like a very lucid dream, but it’s a very real experience in which the person is in full control.

Reiki ("spiritually guided life force energy")

What is Reiki? | back to top

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

How does Reiki work? | back to top

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

An amazingly simple technique to learn, the ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense, but is transferred to the student during a Reiki class. This ability is passed on during an "attunement" given by a Reiki master and allows the student to tap into an unlimited supply of "life force energy" to improve one's health and enhance the quality of life.

What are the benefits of Reiki? | back to top

Reiki can be beneficial for stress reduction, stress-related aliments, anxiety, emotional balancing, self-esteem, mental clarity, feelings of depression relationships (singles, couples, families), past trauma, fatigue, problems sleeping, pre and post surgery (relaxation before surgery, reduce recovery time, and help with pain management) helping reduce side affects of medications or treatments (including individuals with cancer), mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual healing improving immunity, individuals in hospice comfort care.

Relationships - Couples or Family
Reiki reduces stress, heals emotions, opens the heart, self-esteem, communication, and relationship chakras. This is beneficial to how we handle relationships, even if only one partner is willing to commit to their self-improvement. These effects are also beneficial for parent(s) with teens or blended families. (Note: Reiki sessions are not psychotherapy consultant.)

Individuals with Cancer
When you are suddenly faced with a medical diagnosis and experience anxiety and stress, the effectiveness of medical treatments can be inhibited. When you are relaxed, your mind, body, and spirit can work in harmony with itself and medical treatments. Our life force energy flows around our organs and cells in our body to support their vital functions. Reiki has also been known to help reduce or eliminate the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

How will I feel? | back to top

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person and creates many beneficial effects including relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well-being. Many have reported miraculous results. Occasionally people might not seem to feel much at all but, nevertheless, Reiki is at work and positive results occur.

How does Istvan and Margaret work? | back to top

We work with you and on you. The more you are used to visualizations the better the results. We will ask you to start seeing yourself already healthy and full of light while we channel the Reiki energy into you. There is a choice of Istvan or Margaret working on you or if you have less time the two of us will work synergistically on you with quadrupled effectiveness.
