On arrival in Bordighera, our clients used to undergo medical tests and analyses and then had a check-up with Pier Roberto and me.
Based on the results, they were prescribed specific phytotherapeutic treatment with capsules and active fluids, to be taken in the morning and afternoon, and personalized herbal teas, to be drunk after meals.
The diet (low-calorie, normal calorie or recovery) was chosen on the basis of the weight of the client and the desired result (it was more difficult if they wanted to gain weight rather than lose it).
The diet provided for eating just one type of food per meal, without adding salt and using just a little oil, a lot of fruit and raw and cooked vegetables.
In any case, our priority was not really to tackle the weight of the patient or at least not only that, but above all to detoxify his or her body through a controlled diet without excesses.
To summarize, the detoxifying treatment envisaged a diet based on the search for healthy foods and the best system for combining them, but also specific herbs and their derivates, hot-damp inhalations with expectorant properties and above all hand and foot baths (whose secret formula was handed down by my grandfather to my father).
Finally, an essential part of the treatment was teaching our guests the simplest way not to neutralize all the benefits obtained following treatment at the centre shortly after they returned home.
After all, our health is more important than any other thing and it’s worth looking after, so much more so if this can be done fairly simply; this is still the secret of our method.
In Melezzole, as well as having eliminated distractions to the advantage of the nature surrounding us, to make a stay at our centre even more pleasant we have added a series of treatments that can help achieve great results; draining, relaxing and toning massages capable of making the skin more elastic, warm relaxing baths or slimming hydromassages in water with herbs previously wrapped in small jute bags.

Compared to original Mességué treatment, we have also expanded the space dedicated to physical exercise, there’s nothing better than toning the muscles and occupying time in a pleasant manner, without however ever going too far.
In fact, there’s no need to have a highly-toned body to be fit; training the body to exercise correctly makes us much more active, efficient and receptive to all kinds of treatment. This method has guaranteed the success of our centre.
