MARC MESSEGUE, BIOGRAPHY
Marc Mességué was born in Paris but lived in Italy since he chose the Siena University to specialize in Herbal Medicine. He inherited his great passion from his father Maurice, a famous renovator of modern phytotherapy, and from the grandfather, who eighty years ago wrote a real tome of knowledge on medicinal herbs, explaining and disclosing times.
His vast experience in phytotherapy together with his innate empathy towards people pushed him to open several Marc Mességué’s centers in Italy.
In 2015 Marc Mességué chose to bring his philosophy of wellness also to Kenya, a land that he had loved for many years, where phytotherapy, healthy eating and treatments go in perfect harmony with the uncontaminated nature of these places.
THE PHILOSOPHY
Wellness is a state that involves all aspects of the human being and characterizes the quality of life of every single person.
The concept of wellness in the course of the years has undergone numerous modifications and extensions which have led to a broader and more complete view of the term that is no longer centered on the idea of absence of illnesses but as an overall state of good physical, psychological and mental health.
This view is the cardinal point of many disciplines and trends of philosophical thinking, western and oriental, with recent confirmations in the medical and scientific field. Wellness is commonly perceived as a condition of harmony between man and environment, the result of a process of adaptation to multiple factors that have a bearing on lifestyle.
THE METHOD
Marc Mességué pursues the objectives of the culture of correct and healthy eating so as to re-establish the lost but natural psycho-physical balance. Eating well is fundamental to attain an improvement in the quality of life that also translates into wellness in the aesthetic sense.
Eating based on foods that are fresh, in season and low in sodium but at the same time tasty and pleasant, matched with sea baths, therapy such as hot Jacuzzis, Turkish baths, specific massages and beauty care improve the exterior look, re-balancing and purifying the body.
At the heart of Marc Mességué’s treatments is the ancient knowledge of nature and medicinal herbs.
The positive effect that herbs have on the treatment of common illnesses is well-known; herbal teas and infusions, at the heart of the philosophy of Marc Mességué, are of great help in keeping the physiological imbalance caused by many illnesses under check.
Every herb has some peculiar therapeutic properties and may have different effects depending on the people that take them and some modalities of use.
The Marc Mességué method proposes some wellness paths at the Wellness Centre of the Leopard Point Beach Resort in Malindi, respecting the uniqueness of every single individual so as to achieve overall wellness and be in better shape.
