Marc Mességué Health Center is primarily a health institute where phytotherapy and allopathic medicine combine with dietotherapy and physiotherapy.
My institute can help those who want to address problems like excess weight, high blood pressure, alterations in glycolipid metabolism, disorders linked to hepatic or intestinal function and problems linked to poor circulation or those who simply what to get back in shape and rediscover their psychophysical well-being, without the use of medicine, but under strict and constant specialist medical control, starting with a cardiological test and followed by laboratory (hematological-hematochemical), ultrasound and impedanciometry tests, all necessary prior to admission for treatment. - Herbal teas, decoctions, capsules of micronized herbs, liquid extracts, hand baths and foot baths are the key features of a therapy cycle lasting at least seven days, during which we treat our patients and establish highly-personalized phytotherapeutic recipes, diets, medical check-ups and physical therapy programmes for each of them.
All the officinal and aromatic herbs used have been analyzed from a chemical and biological point of view to ascertain the absence of chemical additives and pesticides. In fact, all of them have the MRL brand (Maximum Residue Limit), which certifies the threshold limit of contaminants present.
Those who look to my institute for help are treated following a precise physical therapy programme that supports corrective diets used also as occupational therapy to provide patients with a constant but relaxing commitment that fills their days.
A whole hour of the day is dedicated to manual lymph draining, connective tissue massage or massage combined with chemical-physical peeling techniques, depending on personal needs, whilst another hour of the day is dedicated to hydromassage with algae or full herb baths and yet another is dedicated to physical activity in the gym and physiotherapeutic exercises in water or group walks.
Other therapies occupy the patients’ days such as active instrumental exercises, breathing exercises and manual or instrumental physiotherapy, including electro-magnetotherapy, horizontal therapy, peristaltic pressure therapy and therapeutic UVA and UVB solarium. All treatments are supervised by personnel that have all the relevant legal diplomas and have frequented a special theoretical-practical course before starting to work with us.
Anyone following treatment at the Marc Mességué Health Center also has a precise diet programme based on the dietary principles of natural medicine, adapted to personal taste.
There are three basic dietotherapeutic programmes that take into account the body’s primary needs:

• low-salt, low-fat and low-calorie diet: 3 meals a day for an average total of 900 kcal.
• low-fat, normal calorie intake diet: 4 meals a day for an average total of 1600 kcal.
• balanced recovery diet: 4 meals a day for an average total of 2800 kcal.

All diet programmes can be personalized depending on taste and/or any food intolerances the patient may have and have been designed to provide, even in the case of the strictest slimming diets, all the proteins, vitamins, mineral salts and carbohydrates necessary.
