The Quartz Grounding Experience
What It Does
A custom full body experience designed by our in house Naturopathic Physician combining two programs. A gemstone infused heat therapy mat and audio-visual entertainment system. The purpose of the experience is to guide the user into a meditative state of deep relaxation, when in this deep state the brain-body goes into regenerative repair where serotonin, endorphins, and dopamine is released, providing a stress-break. It helps the body to recover from daily tension and stress faster, rejuvenate cells more intensely, promote better mood and pain management and have a faster recovery time from injury. Torqued tension accumulated in the fascia of your body, from day to day stress will loosen and allow for improved circulation and cellular communication. After you leave your session you should feel uplifted, energized and calm.
How It Works
The mat contains up to 21 layers that regulate the complex wellness-enhancing experience featuring Amethyst, Tourmaline, Obsidian, Jade and of course Quartz. The gemstones heat up to 70C and release infrared rays and negative ions that penetrate deep into your body’s core. While used in conjunction with Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) which is a technique that uses pulses of light and sound at specific frequencies to gently and safely guide the brain into various brainwave patterns. By altering your brainwave frequencies, you can normalize your mood, improve sleep patterns, sharpen your mind, and increase relaxation levels. There are also settings for Cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) which applies pulsed, alternating microcurrent (<1000 μA) transcutaneously to the head via electrodes placed on the earlobes, mastoid processes, zygomatic arches, or the maxillo-occipital junction. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted approval in 1979 for CES for the treatment of insomnia, depression and anxiety. Controlled studies provide evidence that CES is effective for anxiety, headaches, fibromyalgia, smoking cessation, drug withdrawal symptoms, and (in some but not all studies) pain (see Bianco 1994; Klawansky et al. 1995; Kirsch 1996; DeFelice 1997; Gilula 2007; O’Connell et al. 2010 for review and meta-analyses).

Vitamin C is the most underrated nutrient that assists in almost every aspect of bodily function.
A deficiency in Vitamin C can cause a plummeting of your body’s natural anti-inflammatory, immunomodulation and collagen production. It can result in a variety of negative outcomes, including but not limited to adrenal insufficiency, poor wound healing, long lasting colds, increased reactivity to allergens etc.
Symptoms of low Vitamin C include fatigue, weakness, muscle and joint aches, swollen and bleeding gums, slow wound healing, dry and scaly skin, and frequent infections. In severe cases, it can lead to scurvy, which can cause anemia, gum disease, and skin problems.
Studies show that the average low-activity (sedentary) human needs 110mg of Vitamin C per 60kg (and an additional 10mg per additional 10kg) to be taken daily to prevent a deficiency (like scurvy).
Scurvy is no longer a common problem because we usually have enough Vitamin C in the average diet to prevent this syndrome, however our needs increase as our stress levels do. Stress levels can be tied to increased levels of activity, strenuous exercise, injury, sickness, lifestyle changes and mental health concerns.
When meeting with one of our Naturopathic Physicians (like Dr. Zurekova ND or Dr. Dhindsa ND), they will recommend a daily dose of Vitamin C based on your nutritional demands, stresses, gastrointestinal health and the form of Vitamin C delivery for attaining adequate amounts to support your body and lifestyle.
At Quartz Mind, Body + Skin Clinic we offer oral supplements for your therapeutic needs. And, if the deficiency is significant IV Therapy may be a suitable treatment method.
RECOMMENDED TREATMENT
IV Therapy
Starting at $115

PRP Basics
Platelet Rich Plasma, commonly known as PRP, is drawn from your own blood, placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood. It can be applied to the surface of the skin when combined with other cosmetic treatments like Skinpen Microneedling or injected in a therapeutic setting to assist in the healing process for potential injuries and muscle tears.
Platelet-Rich Plasma treatments offer a range of benefits. These include reducing inflammation, improving tissue healing, increasing collagen production, reducing hair loss, improving skin texture and tone, reducing joint pain and inflammation, improving joint mobility and function, reducing muscle pain and soreness, and improving athletic performance. These benefits make PRP treatments an attractive option for people seeking a non-invasive and natural way to enhance their physical health and appearance.

The cosmetic uses of Platelet Rich Plasma include reducing fine lines and wrinkles, tightening and toning skin, minimizing acne scars, reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation and dark circles, stimulating hair growth, and enhancing the results of facial rejuvenation procedures such as microneedling and laser treatments.
