Ayurvedic Medicine- to Balance your Qi ( life force) and restore your health.
We use the Principles of Healing and Cleansing -
The goal of treatment is to cleanse your body of food or toxins, which can stay in your body and lead to illness. The cleansing process—called “panchakarma”— is designed to reduce and relieve your symptoms and restore harmony and balance, and promote wellness.
Reiki Therapy-$65.00 Per Hour
Energy medicine helps the flow of energy and remove blocks in a similar way to acupuncture or acupressure. Reiki improves the flow of energy around and in the body it can enable relaxation, wellness, relieve pain, speed healing, and reduce other symptoms of illness.
Reiki treatments are performed, in a peaceful, private setting, sometimes with chakra stones and without. The treatment can take place anywhere. During a session, the client will sit in a comfortable chair or lie on a table, fully clothed.
Maria Talton Ph.D., will then place her hands lightly on or over specific areas of the client’s head, limbs, and torso. She will typically keep her hands in these positions for 3–10 minutes.
If there is a particular injury, such as a burn, or pain, the she will hold her hands just above the wound.
There are times when she will hold her hands lightly on the body, at that time an energy transfer can take place. During this time, Maria may report that her hands feel warm or are tingling. She will hold each hand position until she sense that the energy has stopped flowing.
When she feels that the heat, or energy, in her hands has gone, she will remove her hands and place them over a different body area.
Herbal Medicine Consultation- $100.00 per hour -not including herbs and treatment.
Products made from botanicals, or plants, that are used to treat diseases or to maintain health are called herbal products, botanical products, or phytomedicines. A product made from plants and used solely for internal use is called an herbal supplement.
Many prescription drugs and over-the-counter medicines are also made from plant products, but these products contain only purified ingredients and are regulated by the FDA. Herbal supplements may contain entire plants or plant parts.
Herbal supplements come in all forms: dried, chopped, powdered, capsule, or liquid, and can be used in various ways, including:
- Swallowed as pills, powders, or tinctures
- Brewed as tea
- Applied to the skin as gels, lotions, or creams
- Added to bath water
The practice of using herbal supplements dates back thousands of years. Today, the use of herbal supplements is common among American consumers. However, they are not for everyone.
Massage Therapy-Swedish or Deep Tissue-Hot Stone Add on $10.00
Swedish- $65.00 per half hour $100.00 per hour
Deep Tissue -$75.00 per half hour $120.00 Per hour
Massage is best known as a way to help you relax and relieve stress. A gentle soothing massage can reduce stress, relieve muscle aches, improve your sleep and improve your mood.
Lesser known is the fact that massage also has benefits far beyond mere relaxation. Our Licensed massage therapist, LMT, will work with you to achieve great results. Medical, or therapeutic, massage can help you with more serious medical issues, too.
This therapeutic type of massage involves more focused work on your body’s soft tissue — the muscles, tendons and ligaments that move and support your body.
Your physician, chiropractor, or physical therapist might recommend that you receive a therapeutic massage to complement other therapies you’re already receiving to treat a particular area of your body.
You may not be getting the results you want from other traditional treatments. Receiving massage therapy on a regular basis may help in this case, too.

Lingam Steaming/ Peritoneal Men Prostate Care- $75.00 per hour
Lingam is the Sanskrit word for penis and translates to "wand of light." The lingam is respected as a channel for sexual energy and pleasure. This is a man’s channel and connection to his own wisdom, power, vitality and sexuality.
The practices of both lingam and yoni steaming have roots tracing back to ancient times in Asia, Africa, Europe, Mexico, Central and South America. Knowledge of indigenous plant medicine was passed down generation by generation.
In an herbal steam session, one sits on a comfortable low stool over steaming warm water infused with customized blend of herbs. This is a natural and non-invasive way of absorbing the volatile oils through the skin directly into the bloodstream, and then around and through the body. The session is a private and relaxing experience where a man creates the space for him to tune out from the world, and tune within to himself and his inner sanctuary.
Benefits of a Lingam steam can include, but not limited to:
- Increases healthy circulation
- Shrinks enlarged prostate, improves prostate health
- Soothes pain and pressure from hemorrhoids, while supporting healthy bloodflow
- Strengthens, cleanses and tones
- Fights bacteria and infections
- Supports relaxation
- Invites a sense of presence in the body

Ionic Foot Detoxification-$75
What to Expect During An Ion Cleanse Foot Detox Session
During a treatment session both bare feet are placed in a tub of warm water. The main control unit converts AC electricity to low power DC electricity which flows through a patented electrode called an array that is set in front of the feet in the footbath. Ions are then created when the electricity and the metal combine to split a water molecule from H2O into H+ and OH- ions. These ions travel through the body, neutralize oppositely charged particles such as free radicals, and through powerful osmotic pressure pull those neutralized particles out of the body through whatever skin surface is in contact with the water.
As the particles leave the body, they will come together and accumulate in the water, thus causing the water in the footbath to change colors. Fat and mucous residues found in the water after the footbath reflect the neutralized wastes that have left the body during the treatment session.
The Ion Foot Bath will cleanse, balance, and refresh your body and:
- Increase Energy / Stamina
- Reduce Arthritis aches and Rheumatoid relief
- Drainage of Lymph systems & swollen glands
- Improve Sexual Health
- Improve Body PH Level
- PMS / Menopause Systems / Cramps
- Weight Control (Improved Metabolism)
- Improve circulation
- Improve Memory and Sleep
- Improve Acne & Skin problems
- Improve Liver & Kidney function
- Improve Headaches & Migraines
- Help detox parasites
- Help with brain fog, depression, and PTSD
- Internally cleanse with a full body purge
- Detox acid wastes, chemicals, and heavy metals
Why Detoxify Your Body?
Acids, heavy metals, & residues left in the body from chemicals, foods, environmental pollutants, even medicines lower your body’s pH.
Blood pH should be slightly alkaline in the range of 7.35-7.45 for healthy function. If the blood pH level becomes too acidic, inflammation can occur as well as other symptoms and conditions including cancer.
At Allergy and Health Solutions Center we believe moderation and balance are key. Becoming too alkaline can also be problematic.
How Many Detox Foot Therapies Should I Do?
We recommend 5-7 treatments scheduled once a week.
Results are immediately visible as the ions are released through the feet into the water basin.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are diabetic, you must eat before receiving treatment with the Ion Cell Detox Foot Bath.
Who Should NOT use the Ion Cell Detox Foot Bath?
- Women who are pregnant or lactating

Infrared Sauna Body Wrap Therapy-$55 per half hour
Our Infrared body wrap treatments are a calorie burning and detoxifying process that slims, tones, defines and reduces fat and cellulite throughout your body. Infrared aids in the breakdown of fat tissue with the use of Far infrared energy. This leads to calorie loss and reduces the appearance of cellulite. Far infrared energy is beneficial to everyone because it can be easily absorbed by the body. When Far infrared energy penetrates the skin, it transforms from light energy into heat energy. The thermal effect within deep layers of tissues causes blood vessels in capillaries to dilate, which promotes better blood circulation. Our Infrared Treatments apply heat to the body, which eliminates toxins and metabolic wastes by increasing sweat production. This can also lead to faster recovery of aching and injured muscles.
Benefits
Increase Metabolism
The heat produced by the Infrared Body Wrap treatment is similar to a physical workout all while laying down for a period of fifty (50) minutes. This infrared heat stimulates the metabolism and increases blood circulation just like it would with a workout session. It will also increase your heart rate! This increased circulation will increase your basic metabolic rate and by doing so consumes or burns calories. As you relax in the gentle infrared wrap, your body is actually hard at work producing sweat, pumping blood, and burning calories. As your body increases sweat production to cool itself, your heart will work harder to pump blood at a greater rate to boost blood circulation.
Detox
Detoxifying our bodies is essential in order to eliminate elements that are not good for us such as toxic chemicals, pathogens, and heavy metals. Too many toxins can make the body feel fatigued, cause muscle aches and pain, lead to skin reactions like acne breakouts or rashes. This may cause overall sickness. Detoxifying and sweating these toxins out is important so that our systems can function optimally and we can maintain a healthy body.
The benefits from Infrared Body Wrap includes:
Better sleep and stress reduction.
Promotes relaxation.
Skin rejuvenation.
Aid in weight loss.
Cellulite reduction and inch loss.
Boost your immune system and increase metabolism.
Purges the body of toxins and fat through perspiration and bodily fluids.
Treatment of muscle and joint pain relief.
Increased blood circulation.
Menstrual pain relief.

Chakra Balancing Therapy- With Crystals and Sound- $100.00 Per Hour.
When our main seven chakras are open and balanced, energy can flow freely through our bodies and minds. When any of these energy centers are blocked, it leads to stagnation and can contribute to a variety of physical and spiritual ailments. If one of your chakras is out of alignment, it can either be overactive and flowing too freely or underactive, with blocked or impeded energy flow. This loss of balance can affect the area of life it's responsible for, causing mental health issues and physical symptoms.
In a Chakra Balancing Therapy session, Dr. Talton begins with a centering process to calm the mind, access a sense of compassion, and become fully present with the patient. She then focuses intention on the patient's highest good and places his or her hands lightly on the patient's body or makes sweeping hands motions above the body.
This process balances and realigns energy flow that has been disrupted by stress pain, or illness. The process eliminates blockages in the energy field so that the patient is in an optimal state for healing to occur.
How can I prepare for a session?
You'll want to wear comfortable clothing to your session and be prepared to discuss your treatment goals. Are you seeking relaxation or stress management, relief from a specific symptom, such as nausea or pain or are you preparing for surgery or some other procedure? You will get the most out of this therapy if you can be specific about your healing needs.
The first visit
If this is your first private session, Dr. Talton will ask you to complete a health questionnaire and any privacy documents that are required by law, such as HIPAA release forms, you will need to give verbal consent to the session.
In both settings, hospital, or studio or home, Maria will explain a little about Chakra Balancing and what to expect and answer any questions you have.
The session
You remain fully clothed during a session and typically lie down or sit comfortably in a chair.
Sessions may last anywhere from 20 to 60 minutes for a full body treatment or as little as 5 to 15 minutes for a localized treatment of a specific injury.
What might I feel?
People have many different reactions to Chakra Balancing Therapy. Some patients feel nothing at all. Others describe sensations of moving energy, deep relaxation, feelings of being supported and nurtured, or visions of images and colors. Some patients experience an emotional release such as tears, or they may develop insight into specific areas of their lives.

Hand or Feet Reflexology - $75 per Hour
Reflexology is a type of therapy that uses gentle pressure on specific points along your feet (and possibly on your hands or ears as well) to help you feel better. The theory is that this eases stress, and that helps your body work better. It’s also known as zone therapy.
The way reflexology connects spots on the outside of your body to the inside is a bit like acupuncture and acupressure. But those therapies use points all over your body, not just on your feet, hands, and ears. And while reflexologists do use their hands, it isn’t a form of massage.
Like those other therapies, though, reflexology is complementary to medical treatments. It can be done alongside traditional care, but it’s not an alternative to it, and reflexologists don’t diagnose or treat illnesses.
Reflexology Benefits
Reflexology may help you feel less stressed, more relaxed, and more energized. But the benefits might go deeper if you have certain health issues.
Some people with medical conditions find that they feel less pain and discomfort if they have less stress, and reflexology may help with that. Researchers reviewed 17 studies of the psychological benefits of the therapy and found that it boosted feelings of well-being and made it easier for people to manage their conditions.
More research is needed to see if reflexology can have a direct effect on specific conditions, but based on what we know so far, it may ease:
- Anxiety among people who've had heart surgery
- Pain during labor
- Arthritis pain
- Some symptoms of multiple sclerosis, like fatigue and uncomfortable skin sensations
- Emotional and physical pain caused by Cancer
It may also help:
- Improve sinus issues
- Relieve back pain
- Ease constipation
What You Can Expect During a Reflexology Session
To get to know you and make sure that reflexology is right for you, the therapist will start by asking questions about your health, what you eat, your lifestyle, and any conditions you have. Your answers will help them decide whether to work on your feet, hands, ears, or a combination of those. This is also the time to ask any questions you have.

Your skin reflects the health of the entire body. Good skin is always appealing to the eyes. Keeping your skin in excellent condition should be a top priority. A simple daily routine and spa treatments when needed will keep your skin looking healthy all year long.
Everyone’s skin is not the same. Therefore, skin treatments vary from person to person. Sensitive skin treatments differ from normal skin treatments, and oily skin treatments differ from dry skin treatments.

A holistic facial is supportive of your mind-body & soul interconnection as it is created for each client personally, to meet their individual skin needs.
